  I would wonder if you felt the same about driving? I’m betting that part of it is that you don’t know how to react in a bind. That’s practice and training more than anything.

  Try this: Go watch some kitchen safety how videos. Go by some boxed Mac and cheese. Make it, it’s foolproof.
  Notice that everything turned out ok. Try it again a few times. Now go try something different that you might like.

  I’d have been all for mayor Gavin but then he decided to be a centrist corpo lover.

  That’s because it is soil that has been destroyed through decades of mismanagement. That is what caused the previous dust bowl.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically... How fucked is the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Since Nixon. He designed and started the plan that Reagan followed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically... How fucked is the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump doesn’t actually think he’d be president and never planned for it. They’ve had since then to prepare this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically... How fucked is the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ending farming and allowing nature to return would prevent a dust bowl. Allowing a field to go fallow means that a whole lot of plants start growing.

  If you’re in a blue state you will be much safer. If you’re not, see if you can relocate to one even if that means you sleep on someone’s couch for a while. I wish you the best.

  This is by design.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Conservatives don’t care about that sort of morals. They only care about what affects them directly. Maybe that means they can’t find tomatoes or apples one day. Then they’ll blame some Democrat for the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Leftist fascism is called communism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanted Bernie some years ago but also believe that we deserve this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The economy is stable and we’re at a new normal. People are hoping to take things back to how they were before even though that’s not how economies work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget immigrants who hate immigrants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Worse: Congress purposely intended for the president to not have direct control over the economy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I sort of feel that this has to be a concept born from eugenics to talk about how some lines are superior to others.

  You can upload documents.

  Any chance you have a frienemy that is doing shenanigans?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok boomer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The difference is you. You enabled him and helped accommodate his needs. Without you, how’s he going to cope? Also you’re a good child.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok boomer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But you’re one of the people I’m talking about. I expect you to go through like the Flash lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok boomer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not faster, but it can be easier if you really don’t want to talk to people. Don’t kid yourself: someone who spends hours per day scanning barcodes knows where they are on each product and can do them faster than you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok boomer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a time when every person realizes that things have changed so much around them that they no longer understand how it works. It creeps up on you slowly, but in the Information age, that is accelerated. Every person here will experience some form of that at some point in their lives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was the first SSN to be assigned in the US just 000-00-001?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It wasn’t until the internet that people started to secure their social. It took the internet for it to be a thing.

  Yep. Learn every trade. Earn every doctorate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I was a secret immortal how long could I keep the same US ID for before I get taken away for study. I'm thinking 150 years.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I figure that you are wealthy by this point and your lawyer has all your records. They’d be able to establish and maintain your identity in some way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon lives in the midwest⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on your country. Really every place has come up with something different: First Nations, indigenous, native, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon lives in the midwest⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still technically called Indian Country and there are a variety of Indian services type organizations in the government.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google now requires JavaScript⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You should still be able to use something like Lynx to browse and search. There’s no reason to block basic functionality except that you can and don’t care.
