Not everyone’s opinion deserves a platform.

Dog… What?

I loved the hero evolution maps where you would spawn in as a ghost with a fucking zoo of different heroes available to choose from. Then you would spawn in the world and have a heroic adventure not unlike a very early attempt at WOW. That game got so much mileage off custom maps.

In Texas this makes the scientists the tiny brain’s mother.

What about puma?

Hilarious that E. Coli got it first.

Please no. I like my flannel.

This doesn’t really address the whole of OP’s question though. They are asking why our schools are so underfunded if we are spending so much more than average per student. The maths don’t math.

The are encouraging you and all other non-Americans to not fall asleep at the wheel like we have. The system that allowed this shit show to develop has been building for decades and we allowed it to happen.

Do not allow it to happen where you live, because the oligarchy is coming for you too.

I have been doing everything reasonably possible to prevent and unfuck my local situation in Texas, but the state as a whole is absolutely screwed. I would argue that a very large minority is aggressively uninformed politically, and has no desire to educate themselves. They want to be sucked into the gravity well of their bigotry and hate and Christian window-dressing. It’s disgusting and depressing and you would not believe the amount of people that I respected before all of this mess that I want nothing to do with anymore because of the ideologies they are willing to espouse. I barely interact with any of my family any more because most of them wanted this situation and still won’t openly admit that they did this.

I feel completely powerless and like my only option is to run as far away from the place I have called home for my entire life.

That’s kind’ve the point. Very few of these imagined deities are even worthy of worship despite being fabricated as the “ultimate” being.

Don’t be a pussy.

No offense, but if you are an American adult and don’t understand why so many posts are political right now you probably need to be reading them. We are probably going through the most problematic power shift the world has seen in 100 years and if we The American People don’t start fighting back substantially we are looking at losing most of our rights as free citizens.

It’s that fucking serious.

If you have calm discussions and listen, you will absolutely 100% see that most people are actually quite alright. Even if they dont like trans people, they will eventuelly get there, by having discussions and chats and seeing them in the real world.

Respectfully, you have no idea what you’re talking about. I live in Texas and I am surrounded by the conservative mindset. There is a chittering madness about these people that causes them to frenzy any time something triggers them as being “woke” or “trans” or in any way challenging to their narrow world-view. They cannot be reasoned with, I have tried far too long with no effect. Their beliefs are couched in white christonationalism and the stupid masses having their stupid beliefs vindicated by bad actors in positions of power.

These people do not feel that anyone unlike them has the right to live the way they want. They WANT to strip trans people of their rights. Pleading for empathy has fallen on empty ears and the ONLY thing that is providing any clarity to these morons is when they themselves are hurt by the stupidity they have summoned. The only time I have heard anyone from the conservative side second guess their vote is when it started to impact them personally. Not when billionaires were immediately given tax cuts, not when children were forcibly taken from their parents, not when first amendment rights violations are being codified into law, not when people have literally been vanished off the streets. None of it matters to them.

Chris Hayes spends a good deal of time on this subject in his book The Siren’s Call which I can’t recommend enough.

Xodo and Xchange are both feature rich, lightweight, and easy to use programs. Browser view is fine for a peek but quickly feels clunky.

Those MAGA folks don’t know they’re brainwashed, and honestly, neither would any of us.

I challenge this line of reasoning. All that is required is asking the question “is that true?”, then attempting to answer that question. There are very few modern conservative talking points that cannot be riddled with holes via 10 min of googling. I understand that people of western society have had our attention robbed of us, but all that is required is a desire to know the truth. They don’t. They want to have an interesting story that triggers their emotions. I will not abide apologies for anyone still supporting the MAGA agenda.
