Something I think that centrists and “progressives” don’t understand about the Green New Deal is that stuff is all going to happen anyway. The difference is that with the GND it’s going to occur in a planned, dignity-preserving way, and without it, it’s going to occur extremely destructively and in a totally-unplanned way.
Which would you prefer?
Lol
I'd also vote for changing the legalities around calling meat pork rather than pig, beef rather than cow etc
I suspect a significant portion of the population would not be able to kill their own food and feel okay abt it. Cognitive dissonance is a huuuge part of the problem https://t.co/ODZTElSkqP

If it means not being weak and malnourished, I’ll be out there fucking wrestling cows to the ground and strangling them to death. I need meat. I’ll be jumping out of trees onto birds.
Vegetarianism is great if you don’t do much physical activity and don’t mind having little energy. Veganism is even worse.
More realistically, if this sort of idiocy means meat is hard to get, will start raising my own, most likely chickens and ducks (both relatively easy to raise in not much space).
At the rate I learn how to do things in math, I once calculated I’d have to study around 200 hours a day to stay caught up with even the bottom students in the class.
You can see why after that I chose to do the bare minimum possible and to concentrate on where I have huge comparative advantages.
After Democratic debates, Trump still likely to win.
I agree, as long as the economy continues being at least okay. With the poor organization of the Dems, the likelihood of them picking an automatic loser like Biden and their terrible choices in the last two years, and let’s not forget voter suppression, I’d rate Trump’s chances of winning as about 70%.
If they don’t choose Biden and instead choose Warren, I’d say it’s still Trump at 55-60%. Biden, though, is a nearly-certain loser.
And when real estate agents say that a home “makes a statement” they neglect to mention that the statement is usually, “What the FUCK?”
Does anyone actually like popcorn ceilings? If so, why?
This is a great idea. Unless you are asking for the 4-5 standard customer service items, most of the time either you will get helped incorrectly or they will be unable to help you at all.
I’m very good at networking, so one time when our corporate ISP went down in some inexplicable way I was able to troubleshoot (without having any admin access all to their network equipment) where the problem was, tell them the location of the routers affected, what the problem was pretty specifically, and the basics of how to fix it. Not bad for no special access.
But it took me two full days being shuttled around the ISP’s call centers, transfer after transfer, before I could find anyone who 1) could understand what I was talking about and 2) who could do anything about it.
If I’d had some button to press to let me talk to the team that wouldn’t make invalid assumptions, that would’ve saved me so much time and frustration.
