This is exactly what I’m talking about. These people demonstrate they have no street smarts because someone with street smarts excepts the simple meritocracy model of the world given to us in grade school was horse shit and adapted their views to fit their current circumstances.
I’m trying to express that I feel as though I’m interacting, everyday, with people haven’t learned a single thing since they left high school. Not in an academic sense but they never actually learned to form ideals for themselves and they have this rudimentary framework they adhere to without even the slightest thought that they should maybe alter that framework to fit the world they experience everyday.
It’s just so menial compared to the huge impact your impeccable morals will achieve.
All I know is never go to a forth location.
Because it’s so obvious. They are going donate a reasonable amount from their income to support that party. On the weekends they will canvas locally and participate in community events being sure to show their support for their third party. Then when an election comes up they are going to garner support from their party and have them finance someone local to participate in their local and state elections.
I hate that it monetized general knowledge that use to be easily searchable then repackaged it as some sort of black box randomizer.
Hey! I’m flying my space ship ova’ere!
For the aliens, barbarian is considered predominantly rasicst people. So most the world is considered barbarians.
As panicked as you are, take a second. Murdering family for political views isn’t exactly on the table quite yet. You’re still afforded freedom and justice and even if people dont think you should have it they would have to cross a line that they’ve never crossed before to exact their cruel punishment. Use these social norms to posture an exit route but do not fear standing up for yourself. None of us are there physically so you are your last line of defense. You can also start a live stream assuming you have a phone which should be another layer of protection.
I’m also not saying be confrontational. I’m saying if the need arises stand up for yourself, it will throw them. Just be sure to have an exit strategy for each situation and assume you can only play that card once before they talk themselves into disobeying societal conditioning.
Bullies are just scared little children on the inside. Murder, no matter how brain washed you are is not a small leap. I suggest you use this fear to build the courage to leave. Though your greatest fears may never be realized it takes a humongous toll to live with that sort of stress.
Contact APS like suggested and they should help you along but make it clear reconciliation is not something you would like to pursue. Even if you can imagine reconciliation being helpful now is not the time and you’ll thank yourself later for making this choice.
Also, cops arent inherently bad people. Some cops have disabled family. Some cops are left leaning. Some cops just firmly believe in the letter of the law. It’s a gamble, for sure, but not a crap shoot as others would have you believe.
Finding normalcy isn’t hard at all. It’s fanning the fire of discontent to effect real change that’s the difficult part.
It’s few and far between. A good person isn’t a perfect person. It’s someone who does the hard thing because it’s the right thing. People also fall in and out of being their best selves. That’s exceptable as well. So, if you truly want to experience a genuinely good person, you have to trust they are before they can show you. If you want to be one don’t do it by following some strict rules set. Look for places where you can help then just be yourself.
If all I’ve ever known of you is the best side of you, flawed and all, to me, you were nothing but good.
Its a super power, actually. Everytime I meet one they impact my life so deeply I can’t help but admire them and completely swoon.
Relationships can be anything you want them to be. I wish I spent less time trying to figure out if someone liked me and just tried to have fun with everyone I met.
It’s a false leverage. The only thing it will do is make things worse for yourself. That was plain from the onset.
Because you’re fighting me on the fact that the people are the ones with true power.
You want my 300 page thesis why the democrats can suck my balls?
The vote isn’t about me getting all my desires then retiring in a utopia. It’s about steering the country in a direction. Right now the tracks are set to fascism and plutocracy. You want to be mad get mad in time for the primary and get kamala out. Which should have been joe this season but the electorate thinks the way to win is through extorting the psychopaths that climbed their way into government.
Nah, I cant be mad that the country founded on genocide and slavery is still invested in hate. I can’t be mad the electorate that elected Trump still exists. I’m mad that come February I will hear only crickets and the giant shit sandwich we all consume every 4 years will be forgotten.
Requirement? Of course not. Except why exactly would you do it if you weren’t going to take it seriously?
