Then why aren’t you saving for retirement?
Then why aren’t you saving for retirement?
But do you have an in-demand skill?
I don’t feel that we need an ideology middle ground. But I do feel that my having individual positions on individual policies leaves me siding with different preformed “teams” quite often.
And others say we’ll end up with normal and woke.
I’m not on a team and feel like we will indeed end up with just 2 things and it’ll be both extremes. And most people will be stuck in the middle wondering why we have teams.
It already exists. Conservapedia
What is a bad cookie banner?! I’ve been a software engineer for 35 years and have never heard of such a thing!
Why wouldn’t you just click the article and skim it real quick?
Seriously? You deleted a humorous “good bot” reply?!
Didn’t realize how quickly the authoritative mods would show up.
Is this just a Lemmy world thing, or world@ or what?
I agree with that as well.
Really thought you were serious. Unfortunately my first impression of ya matched that behavior. Lol. Cheers.
Case in point.

Aw cmon. Blocking people you simply disagree with eventually leads to a really polarized world.
I hear you. But my experiences are all very similar. There are still fights, and guns and knives being involved is VERY rare unless you’re in a bad area.
In fact, check this out, I’m in my mid 40s and I’ve never even seen a gun on anyone who isn’t a police officer or military. I’ve been in fights. I’ve lived homeless on the streets of Baltimore. I ignore annoying people.
Is my experience everyone’s? No. But the rest of the world acts like it’s some major daily problem everyone deals with over here. It’s not.
I agree with the first two paragraphs. USA is going down the shitter in dealing with crazies.
I understand the point you’re attempting with the rest of your comment but I disagree it’s a plausible scenario or problem.
And how come the crazies exist nonetheless and do all that kind of stuff somewhat independently of other people being armed?
A mix of mental health issues and standard human nature.
Would you prefer to defend against one with a gun or one with a knife?
One with a knife. But my preference of enemy arms does not negate that enemy’s right to defend themself with a gun. I’d also prefer that no one ever hurt anyone else, but my preference there cannot be guaranteed.
And yes, correct, in the USA we can have guns.
To protect yourself and others from crazies. Because crazies can and will use anything and everything as a weapon.
There is nothing wrong with running around swinging knives simply because you want to. That’s just freedom, and it’s ok.
I don’t have anything to defend myself
So instead of arming yourself, you’re trying to disarm the rest of the world? Why take that difficult path instead of the easy way?
I thought that was your implication above about a bullet to the head being your retirement
