At some point we have to fight back on all the lies, why not here I guess.

One of my mothers boomer quotes , "I'm going to spend my kids inheritance". She did too. She is now 84 and needs to sell and borrow. Good thing I believed her when she started saying this in 1988.
I feel this, but more along the line of chosen ignorance rather than actual stupidity. Either a new topic us overwhelming or they worry\fear they'll get it "wrong". Also, being from the south, where so much has been politicized, they fear the tribal back lash of thinking for themselves. I don't know what's wrong with me, I was never the type to "go with it".
This has driven me crazy for a long time too. It really feels like this picture and takes something away from any enjoyment.
The kitchen disco requires really good headphones. You don't get ear covering sound without a jack.
I was shocked when he got a gov't contract after he admitted to all that fuckery in Ukraine. Wtf is happening in gov't???
All the more reason we need to #stopcopcity
This is what I came here for
Joel Bervell on insta has been doing a great job of explaining the differences and how to address them. I see him on insta but I'm sure he is on all the platforms. I live in the US south and this is a serious issue. It is insult to injury.
My point is mostly this: are we here to discuss and provide information or throw paper at each other. The comment you responded to wasn't one I agreed with either ,but it was based on their opinion and (imo) not worth arguing because opinions are subjective. It is worth considering becasue they are telling you about their personal, if ancesdotal, experience.
So when people completely miss the opportunity for conversation about something that appears controversial, and rather pile on because they are daring to have an opinion..... well ya , I say something.
I've been around long enough to see institutional thinking crush community and conversation and I don't like it. So there is my subjective opinion and feedback.
