Indeed, GAB is a great example, their “freeze peach” or banned :)

Compartmentalise. It’s a trait of Homo sapien to convice themselves things are true, so they can believe any bullshit, try not to fall for it yourself in otjer areas.

The problem for me arises when they speak from authority on another subject they are expert in, if they’re so naive and easily misled on that, how can i trust their opinion on anything substantive?

A superb example of this is Katherine Hayhoe. I get around it by just reading nothing she writes on climate change because her evangelical christianisim just muddies the waters too much to take her at all seriously. On a side note, my goto is Professor Kevin Andersin.

Read books.

Progressives need better social media managers and to not be above playing dirty.

Progressives failing is underestimating the number of stupid people and assuming people are sensible. See 4 below.

These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

While not all conseatives are stupid, stupid people are nearly always conservative.

"I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. . - John Stuart Mill

You do know many people are stupid, it’s why we’re in this mess. Not just Germany but stupidity is ubiquitous.

Not really working and just commenting on stuff they have no expertise in. I’m as skilled at it as tbey are, just not listened to as much :)

A frieds gfs , I was clpse to both, he left her, she was distraught, she hugged me … and my erection, I tired the “move my ass back” thing but i think that made it worse.

Several decades ago now :)

US goverment is buying 400 :)

Pole’s where polled for a poll.

They could do nothing instead, but they have no power to reduce vehicle sizes.

Whike this is true they could loudly advocate the national government to change the laws and ban shitty US sized utes. They could also shout loudly about making those small Japanese trucks easy and tax free…

This also doesn’t address the problem, where it is an issue aren’t going to rebuild, not for decades anyway.

How is this not already a thing? The pavement is not the street, don’t put your personal vehicle on it I mean is it that difficult?

In Australia it’s illeage to park on the sidewalk (pavemnt) everywhere afaik(?) people do it anyway and enforcement is lax becase the outrage from car owners when it does occur occasionally means abuse to local govenerment who enforce these things.

I remember one article, some family had 7 cars (three adult kids, m other and father) and the entitlment was based around “where elese are we supposed to park our cars!”

We lived in a large medium density apartment complex for a number if years and there where forever people parked over the sidewalk on my walk to the shops and to be fair the local goverment did ticket them occasioanly.

On the plus side, we easily lived car free and rented our two assigned parks out to thirsty car owners ($80 each oer week) those fees covering our outgoings, so that was great :)

What a kick in the balls from Trump

Neutral is the more offensive stereotype :) just means you are a conservative LARPing at being liberal.

She’ll never be the US Presdient with that sort of socalist thinking. /s

• The loser od lf the pie eating contest has to barf uow everything they ate and then eat it again, under threat of death if they don’t.

Pay attention to the fine print kids.

No, too many dead trees :(

It’s indeed an odd name but holding it back from what ? Its not a popularoty contest . Why is “widespread adoption” seen as the metric for success? That onky needed for shitty commercial products, to me it’s great right now…

He wants the President of the US to intervene in a traffic dispute ?

You’d think that would be enough of a res flag that no one voted for Murphy ever again.

Except America aren’t the only ones supplying Ukraine with weapons and other aid, Europe is doing a lot too. Ukraine will keep fighting without the help of the US, which won’t be a good look for Trump.

Sure and many in Germany for example are saying stop sending weapons.

Gen X here, we’re labeled the invisible generation for a reason.

That said I don’t really give enough fuks to be involved, the real fight is inequality, not age.
