  1. I’m glad he finally has some capacity to affect change rather than just being ‘that guy’ in the Senate who’s a contrarian to his colleagues.
  2. That’s among the list of possible descriptions, sure. It’s not the one I’d choose.
  3. That does sound very closed-minded. Sorry that happened.
  4. Well, we’re never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy...
  5. Ground News will show you a news story headline, all the news sources for that story, and the bias of those sources. So you can look at the same thing from different points of view, if you wish.
  6. Clinton was the last president with a balanced budget. There isn’t a realistic way to balance it again that I’m aware of. As a country, we’re basically the stereotype of a person with no awareness of budgeting at all who just relies on a credit card for everything. But our credit limit doesn’t exist, it seems. So it keeps being ignored. So it keeps getting worse.
  7. If you don’t like a business, don’t use their product or service.
  8. If you were a business owner and someone had been shouting hateful bullshit through a megaphone in your shop and drawing disruptive crowds, wouldn’t you kick them out?
  9. Well, that is a list of things to go through for sure! Sounds like you’ve made great progress, though! Keep going and see it through to the end, you got this!
  10. That’s awesome! The Sun helps grow the food, and the Sun helps cook the food. No meat, and no fossil fuels. Though I’m sure the remainder of electricity on the campus is derived from some nearby power plant, it’s still good to reduce dependence on it by a bit.
  11. I’ve seen many people say they’re apart of something. Oh, well...
  12. Hold on, he needs to get the Viking cosplay outfit first.
  13. Alas...‘Murrica! Gun control legislation would be a confirmation of conservatives’ fears about the country heading toward communism, and the backlash would be massive.
  14. You know, Trump may be on such a level of privilege that he’s never had to use a shopping cart in his life.
  15. In which sort of political dialogue would you like to engage? Do you have a topic in mind?
  16. I suppose I’ll be the one to bring up the obvious follow-up question: And is this the same preparedness and amount of force we would have seen had it been a BLM protest at the Capitol?
  17. That’s her choice. She is a victim of herself. If she worries you, tell her how you feel. And you can make choices for yourself. Nobody can force you to go down that path with her.
  18. Their are fraternities with high standards, surprising as that may seem. No tolerance toward hazing, emphasis on volunteerism in the community, academic achievement, and things of that nature.
  19. I get that. I’m a thinker, not a doer. It’s great for journeying inwards and introspecting, but not so much for journeying outward and trying things. Just be you. Don’t force things on yourself. If you want to do something else, do it. If you succeed at it, great! If you fail at it, find the humor in it and laugh it off. It’s your life, and nobody can determine for you how you should live it.
