Saying sharing info is "at best" a coping mechanism seems a bit silly. With how algorithms keep people locked in their own bubbles, I'd say it's super important to share information you don't think everyone sees.
My mom had no idea about that student that got arrested, for example. I know for a fact most of my friends and family wouldn't know.
What did Carter do?
That's actually really neat
I honestly think it's kinda lame since you can't see who is just being a troll. That said, there's only like 15 or so people on here so it's not that big a deal as you pretty quickly learn who people are and can just block them or whatever. lol
I also never thought it was a big deal on reddit!; never understood why the people that "didn't care" about karma seemed to care so much about others having it.
We should really be discussing ways to take over the party, like the tea party did. I've been wondering why I'm so reluctant to register as a Democrat yet wanting to feel like a part of it I want to bend to my will
I thought it was an incel. lol
If I see a border patrol officer, I'm treating them like absolute shit.
I once was a bit dismissive/rude to a friend of a cousin when I learned he had just moved to SoCal to work as border patrol. Initially, I thought it would be cool to make a new friend. I legit couldn't help it. Come to find out a couple years later that he quit because he couldn't handle the cruelty/racism. I somewhat regret not being a bit more friendly to him, especially considering he was one of the good ones (the ones that leave). If it were today, I'd maybe just be more clear in my reason for being rude. Communication and whatnot
I stand corrected! Adding it to my list
In political science, a reactionary or a reactionist is a person who holds political views that favor a return to the status quo ante—the previous political state of society—which the person believes possessed positive characteristics that are absent from contemporary society. As a descriptor term, reactionary derives from the ideological context of the left–right political spectrum. As an adjective, the word reactionary describes points of view and policies meant to restore a status quo ante.
As an ideology, reactionism is a tradition in right-wing politics; the reactionary stance opposes policies for the social transformation of society, whereas conservatives seek to preserve the socio-economic structure and order that exists in the present. In popular usage, reactionary refers to a strong traditionalist conservative political perspective of a person opposed to social, political, and economic change.
Reactionary ideologies can be radical in the sense of political extremism in service to re-establishing past conditions. To some writers, the term reactionary carries negative connotations—Peter King observed that it is "an unsought-for label, used as a torment rather than a badge of honor."
Oh shit, is this from Paprika? Looks like it . What an awesome, trippy af movie
I'm still trying to understand what tankies are. Are they simply people pretending to be communists?
Did they mention race at all? I might've missed it. Bet that would yield more "surprising" results
