Maybe his endorsement pushes them away from Trump? Idk, though, I've met some right wing young people that I wouldn't be surprised to learn listen to his music or at least follow him on social media. This idea that millennials, zoomers, and gen alpha do not have significant amounts of far right assholes is deeply misguided.

If that's how you view it, you're welcome.

Interesting, I didn't know that. I guess my canned mayo dreams are dashed.

They didn't jail Nixon or that shitbag kissenger for the same shit, doubt anything will be done about this. Hell, both of those asshats got to live out their years rubbing elbows and "advising" the political elite of both parties.

If the Supreme Court wasn't packed, I'd say we'd need someone to violate one and take it to the top, but that probably wouldn't turn out to well at this point.

This made me curious, I'm going to see if our supplier has #10 cans of mayo tomorrow while I'm at work. The mayo we get is in plastic jugs, and we generally wouldn't need that much at once, I just want to know if it is something that is made.

Crimes against humanity.

Those of us terrorized by the police for generations don't need propaganda to tell us who the police are. Your statement just reveals the wonderful position of privilege you enjoy in the system.

Grandma already needs a walker and a wheelchair, she'll never recover from that blow.

How can you be blind to this common practice?

Like the access rural Americans got from billions of dollars in federal investment in telecoms?

The idea that a stranger cold approaching a woman was a significant factor in couplings is quite overblown. Most couples met through some sort of social grouping such as family, friends, religious gatherings, work, etc. This doesn't mean it didn't occur, just that it wasn't an overall productive method of finding a partner. As time has gone on, society has advanced to a place where women are too not only discuss openly about the problematic behaviors exhibited in cold approaches, but also be heard. The affect on young men is that most will not approach a woman due to the already present fear of rejection and the now added fear of being perceived as a creep.

It is not necessarily a bad thing that this is going away, but the large issue that should be addressed is the loss of a community many (I'm speaking for the US here) face. Many young people are frustrated with the dating scene and their inability to find partners. A community not only allows for opportunities to meet potential partners but a framework to enforce (through social pressure) acceptable standards of conduct to ensure all parties are safe and comfortable. I don't have the answers, but we as a society need to figure it out. There has been unfortunate trend of this frustration driving young people to extremist ideology. This has been most prominent with young men, as is historically the case, but it is starting to take root with some young women as well.
