Same. They killed Apollo, so I dipped.

Maybe she wanted to demonstrate what you said.

I think a lot of dems have decided it’s time to play the same game the republicans are playing. A sort of “if they won’t play by the rules, why should we?” mentality.

I don’t know if I like or agree with that, but I can certainly understand why someone would make that choice. That’s what I was trying to get at with my previous comment.

Every time I see/hear someone say this, I am reminded of the phrase, “You cannot reason someone out of a position they were not reasoned into”. It also doesn’t help that the republicans in power have shown us, over and over, that they are not acting/arguing in good faith.

Having a reasonable conversation and trying to remain rational when faced with those two factors is very difficult, at best, and puts you at a significant disadvantage, at worst.

That being said, I don’t really have any better ideas other than to stick to my ideals and try to be rational/reasonable.

How is peanut butter on a burger “pretentious”?

It’s edgy to disbelieve in something that has no factual basis?

This. I started my career with 0 experience and an unrelated degree. I found an employer who saw I knew at least a little bit and hired me entry level. It wasn’t the job I wanted, but it got me in the door, and that’s the hardest part IMO. From there, you find opportunities to demonstrate your skill/knowledge and gun for promotions and raises whenever you can.

Yeah that election was stolen. Two words: hanging chad

I’d bet the locally owned coffee shop is operated by the owner and maybe a few other employees. Not really much of an opportunity to unionize there.

This would require some sense of personal accountability, which is clearly missing amongst many of our so-called leaders.

Please don’t lump all of us in with that degenerate.

The wealthy and the powerful will be the last to suffer the negative effects of climate change.

Nope. Donald Trump lost the popular vote by like 3 million in 2016. More Americans voted for a different candidate.
