Yes, very true. Always.

It’s hard because there’s so much reshuffling going on. I personally have to clarify now that I’m a constitutionalist liberal, because liberal means too many different things to different people.

This is the fundamental issue with people arguing against free speech: I can never tell if they know they behave fascisticaly or not. Are they ignorant, or do they know?

This past election was very eye-opening in that everyone on the left was so absolutely confident that Trump wouldn’t win. So much so they had already started laying things out for their own fascist takeover.

And yes, the left can act in a fascist manner.

I do want kids. I’m getting up there in age though, and I’ve been single for a while. The man I thought I’d be having kids with turned out not to be the right one, and dating is hard now

I think I’ll be very sad if I end up without any kids, but I’m not willing to have them with just anyone.

Take it all please, leave the rest of us able to fix what needs fixing.

Sleep paralysis is so terrifying. I get episodes when I’m under incredibly severe stress, so I’ve only had about 4 episodes. When it first happened, my heart was thumping so quick and fast that I thought I’d for sure have a heart attack.

Who holds fact-checking companies accountable?

I didn’t say it’s perfect or even good, I don’t like it either, but we’re talking rights. Here, the product has a right to take our data as long as we consent to it - and you’re wrong, we are told when they take our data, most of us just don’t read the print, and click accept.

Not sure why you’re so bitter about it, or why you’re so consistently wrong about absolute rights we do or don’t have.

Are you kidding? The Twitter files? Zuck coming out and admitting the Biden admin was pressuring them hardcore to surprise information? We’ll hopefully get fb files soon, what with Zuck trying to claim he was for free speech all along 🙄

You’re crazy if you watch even a bit of any trad news and think the Dems aren’t behind the scenes giving instructions on how they should be reporting things. Jesus, watching Newsom try and alter information about his disasterous fire/emergency prep is proof that’s happening live as I type this out.

Again, reps are realigning. It’s no longer just a party of traditional Republicans or RINOS. A lot of rational people from the right and left center have realigned under the new rep party.

It is going to be a ridiculously tight rope to walk though, making sure the small but vocal fascist portion under the tent is stomped out aggressively. We’ve just come close to the true start of a communist-style takeover, and nazism was the overreaching response last time that happened. Just have to make sure that doesn’t happen this time.

We have the right to privacy too, though the tech version you lay out here are more robust. Our right is to not purchase the products that require us to give access to our data. There are ways to keep private online, but it is much more difficult.

We’ve gotten a ton of change with trump. That’s why it’s felt so disruptive. Might not be the kind of change you were hoping for, but it’s certainly change.

What rights do you have in Europe that we don’t have in the US?

In Europe we get more rights, and in the US you loose your right to abortion entirely.

That’s not true at all. In fact, lots of states give access to abortion much longer than Europe does. And before anyone says healthcare, we do have universal healthcare, it’s just used as a safety net rather than a default. Every American has access to it as long as they meet financial requirements. I spent 4 years on it myself and it was great.

The US is not trying to take anything, we’re negotiating prices for territorial strategies.

I think whatever news you watch or listen to is fear mongering.

Creative writing.

So fun to both reach and practice, and grading homework would be far more fun and interesting.

Literally closing escrow next weekend.

I’m grateful she took such good care of the house. When I stepped inside I immediately knew it had good bones. Built in the early 80’s, I had a very thorough inspection done, and that guy was blown away. So I feel good about my purchase.

For whatever reason, we were the only offer after she was on market for 90 days. No idea why, and I spoke to a lot of people about the area, the land, just everything.

The 12 steps of drinking. Not drinking’s not one of them.

Literally none of that has anything to do with reality.
