It's always "well the lazy democrats will take it so it's perfectly fine for one of us to take it so they can't have it" or some variation.

the AL way.

The american way!

Based on the last decade or so, at any rate.

What a dumb way to view things.

Having never gone to college, I FULLY support my tax dollars going to pay for colleges.

Tax money is to benefit society.

How have m youade it far enough in life to be voicing your opinions on the fediverse, yet haven't figured out that a well-educated society is good for EVERYONE in that society...

I have sat for nearly 10 minutes while the unbelted person fumed mostly silently

You get one chance to put it on before I pull the car over and put it in park. In this case I turned the car off, pulled out my headphones, and started watching Lord of the Rings on my phone.

The best driver in the world can still get T-boned at an intersection or rear ended at a stop sign. I'm the one driving, you will abide by my safety rules. Take your own vehicle or ride the bus if you don't want a seat belt.

30s, I am much slower to bounce back from muscular injuries, and if I smash my knee, it's gonna be a week before I don't need a brace. Being overweight is a big part of that though. I'm sure if I had kept my weight off after my last surgery 10 years ago I'd be quicker to recover joint injuries.

Illnesses are about the same? Maybe? Idk whenever I got a cold I would be miserable for a week, and that hasn't changed. Every so often I'll get something that knocks me on my ass for 2-4 days, and when I was younger it was probably only 1-2 days. I was sick much more as a kid though so that's likely one reason, my immune system isn't exposed to as many things anymore so illnesses that DO hurt are worse than they used to be. I'm not a biologist though, and pathology sounds like what a startup company that makes designer walkways would call themselves.

I also think I'm much funnier than I used to, but that's likely unrelated to illnesses...

France usually does a pretty good job of fucking shit up when the people in charge go against the populace.

I guess too few people today are actually concerned about privacy. Honestly I think it comes from a place of ignorance. They don't understand the dangers so they don't believe there IS danger.

No needle in the syringe, apparently.

Still a good way to get bodyslammed into a wall. I'm not waiting to see if there's a needle or not.

I love seeing the "FRENCH GOVERNMENT COLLAPSES" headlines.

Like.... A governmental collapse and this gestures broadly at France are two VERY different things.

And if I'm being honest, when I first saw the headline I wondered if they floated raising the retirement age again and got rioted into a burned down parliament.

France will be okay, they have protocols for this sort of thing.

...... Right? I don't know nearly as much about the current French government as I do pre-napoleonic France. Am dum American.

Can't wait for one of my coworkers to speak positively of this move so I can ask them why they're praising SOCIALISM

I mean, I think the world would be a better place if capitalism died and socialism were recognized as being far superior, but I can say with 100% certainty that THEY do NOT.

Seems like a well-regulated militia would go a long way here.

has a left-wing bias

So does reality.

But some people are, perplexingly, still concerned with "being fair".

People like this want you conflate "the country of Israel" with "all ethnic/religious Jewish people everywhere"

It allows them to more easily call people antisemitic when you criticize the Israeli government.

Even IF Israeli intelligence hadn't ignored reports of potential attacks, and even IF they hadn't intentionally lowered security in order to make potential attacks worse, all in order to give them and excuse to do the thing they already wanted to do, committing genocide in response is a FULL FUCKING STOP "no"
