I accused the other of misinformation when the article even said I was wrong. I'd be a hypocrite, an idiot, and an asshole to not make it right.
Thanks for not only recognizing but also taking the time to reinforce what we both want to see more of.
Thank you for the compliment. But, in this facet the biggest difference between us is probably only how much time our parents bought us before we had to fend for ourselves. My ideas aren't special, just regurgitated and stitched together pieces of work by actual smart people.
We're on the same side because any reasonable and intelligent person is on our side. We came from all directions, reasoning our way to the same basic conclusions: It's broken and humans suffer. We'll sacrifice to fix it together.
Thank you for pointing out that I'm being an idiot in such a kind manner. I apologize. I also learned more about mpox.
Stupider or wiser relative what? If we measure against a what it takes to live a wise life at the time then people are definitely getting stupider (and you are absolutely correct). The wisdom required is rising much more quickly than the wisdom possessed.
Perceptions are also easily swayed because we've been on an unusually long objectively (not relative) downward slope. Some think technology of communication the last nail in the coffin, that we will never begin to become wiser again. They may be right. You may be very, very correct. But, hope is an important thing. In this, I think one should believe what's necessary for personal morale.
You made me think more about pot smokers. I think you're correct. Even in my own observation they're a much more diverse group than I present. And, I bet a lot of them keep their habit totally private.
I came down on you pretty hard there. I think you saw I wasn't attacking you personally. You received it so well you even changed my perspective. This is why I've faith in humanity. We've still got the special sauce.
Your perspectives suck and no one's told you. This was maybe a time when you should've only asked a good question.
That's not a judgement of you as a person.
Handjob McVape chose a ridiculously gerrymandered district. This is middle class wage slaves, rural property owners, and the employees of rural property owners (incl. oil workers on rented rights).
Pot smokers worldwide lean hard left or are unengaged with their political and activist proceses.
It's not COVID making people stupid. They're just stupid, always have been, and don't know it. Humans have been choosing kings to conveniently let another reason and choose for them since the beginning of humanity. They're not changing. You are.
There's an incredible story behind it. But, the short form is that Proton is more expensive because they're not harvesting your private information. In a few months the law will prevent them from doing for as long as the core fiscal law and Proton exist (at least decades).
I just like bears, know a little bit, and think they're getting fucked over in many parts of the US. I definitely wasn't finding fault with a joke.
If you tried to scritch a wild cat you might just get away with it for awhile. But, you're never getting that hand back :)
