We're all dumbasses from time to time, it's all good :)
Is he crazy? There is a real danger he's going to split the Green Party vote, and cost them the White House!!
It would be a poor dictionary that excluded such a widely used word as "discombobulated."
The conclusion (no straws at all are better) makes sense, but... The Conversation can be kind of gratuitously contrarian. "WELL ACTUALLY there are forever chemicals in paper straws!" Ok, why? "Maybe because they're in the soil where the bamboo was grown or in the paper that they were recycled out of" Ok this sounds like a "forever chemicals are fucking everywhere" problem not a "paper straws are super bad" problem.
But "oh no eco friendly is actually eco HOSTILE" is a clickbaitier take.
Yeah this thread seems like some reddit-ass shit right here
"Why do members of this oppressed group side with oppressors" is a perennial question, like why are there so many Republican women when Republicans generally are anti-woman...
The answer is usually something like, if you're high on the totem pole in several ways the fact that you're not high on the totem pole in all ways might not matter so much to you.
If you're rich, straight, cis, and male, but not white, you get a lot out of being rich and male and straight and cis, so you may support the group that protects the interests of rich, straight, male people, even though they might not be nice to black people, the fact that you're on the same page on so many other axes means at least they'll usually treat you OK cause you're one of them in so many other ways.
See also: middle class white cis straight women, or Log Cabin republicans, or whatever.
Also: poor white straight cis men.
Go with your instincts on trying Haiku and come back and tell us all what it's like :)
It's redundant, that's just how people do it.
Wait, they're against right wingers now?
What's the catch?
yes, that terrible anti-union Joe Biden, how dare he

President Joe Biden called in personally to talk to negotiators around 9 pm ET Wednesday, according to a person familiar with negotiations. Biden stressed that catastrophic harm could come to families, businesses and communities if the rail system shut down. Sources within the unions were giving Biden’s call credit for helping to get the deal completed without a strike.
“We’re very proud of what was accomplished,” said Jeremy Ferguson, president of the conductors union and one of the leaders involved in the marathon session. He thanked Biden and Labor Department officials involved in the talks for the deal.
