Is the goal general harm, or directed harm that may have a positive result? If Target changes course and takes a moral stand (even if that decision isn’t made for all the right reasons), that’s worth more than hurting Target and Walmart equally.

No it isn’t. I’d be willing to try one, but I think gas is better.

Yeah, I never said anything like that. That’s reductive.

I don’t want to destroy the environment. I just like cooking. Surely there are solutions that allow me to still have a nice stove.

That’s not the case for me.

I’ve always considered myself a libertarian, but I’m coming to realize I need to find another word. I used to be able to explain that assholes were ruining the name, but now the assholes outnumber people like me by too much.

I think the real turning point was when Jo Jorgensen said, “It is not enough to be passively not racist, we must be actively anti-racist,” and then she had to walk it back because the libertarian party was so fucking racist. Like, that’s not even a political statement. It’s a moral one, and it’s one I agree with.

Then when the Libertarian Party changed their stance on abortion, I was done with them. I clung to the lowercase L label, but at this point it doesn’t seem worth it anymore.

I just think the government should be limited to things that only the government can handle. Policing? Roads? Business regulations? Those are all things that can only be handled by the government. Restrictions on what kind of stove I can buy? Restrictions on what I can put in my body or how I dress or what my kids can read at school? Those are all bullshit.

I guess it helps that I align with Democrats on most of the major issues now, but I still won’t consider myself a Democrat.

My hopeful theory is that some intern with access to his phone did it so their behavior would get exposed.

So if people can’t have dairy, they also wouldn’t choose vegan ice cream? That seems like a wrong statement.

Yeah, I agree. Why did you make that statement?

Can you recommend a specific one? I’m absolutely certain that I’ll prefer real ice cream, but I’ve never tried vegan ice cream, and maybe someday I will.

I imagine if those people had a choice, they also wouldn’t choose vegan ice cream.

This is the best answer and it’s not close. Their strawberry ice cream is mind blowing. It’s so fucking creamy.

Four asshole senators. But yeah, that did happen to the one.

That’s the Minnesota state senate.

Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!

Someone “blew it up” and the resulting explosion launched it into space.

what

Didn’t Biden pardon everyone who was arrested for marijuana possession?

I scrolled all the way to the bottom of these comments, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the comments that I’d see on reddit, the ones all the way at the bottom that show up every time George Floyd is mentioned, weren’t there. I hadn’t even thought about those comments until I got to the end.

Surprising New Primary Challenger

That’s not that surprising. I was hoping it was like a golden retriever or something.

I fully appreciate what you’re saying, and I’m not even saying I disagree. But most people still won’t support it.

There have been polls. He has a lot of support, but it’s definitely not more than half.

Regardless of their feelings on the rich, I think you’ll find that most people aren’t ok with the murder.
