  Is this satire, or is she genuinely confused?

  Lol! Good on her!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you rate your country's constitution?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but…it can be used to negate all of your personal freedoms and legal rights, so…close enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you rate your country's constitution?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, to be additionally specific…it takes 2/3rds in bother the House and Senate or it takes a Constitutional convention, where 2/3rds of the state legislatures are needed to propose an amendment, and 3/4 of them need to ratify it. So, you are correct on the 3/4, if they go the convention route. I was really only thinking about Congress when I wrote that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you rate your country's constitution?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms would get a zero. There’s the “Notwithstanding Clause” that effectively nullifies the entire document at the discretion of any provincial government that wants to violate the Charter. The entire thing is basically meaningless with that loophole in place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you rate your country's constitution?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lowering the threshold for amendments would actually weaken the Constitution, not make it stronger.

  Imagine if they just kept flip-flopping back and forth on abortion or citizenship status every 8 years, at a Constitutional level. Every federal rule and regulation that Congress tried to implement based on current law, would have to be renegotiated every time an amendment was altered. The federal government would be locked into a permanent state of revisement, and literally nothing else would get done, as long as those basic issues remained permanently unsettled. Not to mention, people’s lives would be constantly fluctuating between opposing statuses.

  The harder it is to make amendments to the law, the more stable the society becomes. Once something is codified into the Constitution, it should be extremely difficult to reverse. 2/3rds is actually a very reasonable majority under the circumstances. Less would be too easy…and more would be virtually unachievable.

  I don’t think you fully appreciate what it’s like to grow up with boomers for parents. Your generation can basically ignore them, without any direct interaction. All you lose, is a birthday card. We grew up with them in our face, every single day. You can’t argue with these people. All you can do, is stare at them like they’re fucking idiots…because they are. Confronting them, is next to impossible, unless you are prepared to go to war over the stupidest shit imaginable.

  This isn’t our "social deficiency. It’s theirs. We grew up with no way of communicating with a generation of Karens, other than deliberate non-engagement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah. The “Gen Z stare” is the blank-faced look we give people that we think are idiots. It’s not that we lack self-awareness…it’s you. Gen Z doesn’t tolerate stupid. We just can’t be bothered to call you out on it, because that’s drama we don’t need. So we just stare at you, instead.

  When all you are is racist, everyone looks like a Mexican.

  This is just the definition of stupidity. How can you spend two decades voting for people that are actively working against you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My friend Charlie is back....⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I challenge you to simply sit there and watch your toes curl. It actually stops hurting if you can just relax and let it happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I right to be afraid of germs / is my family disgusting or am I overreacting and this is germaphobia? (read post)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok. Yup. I sincerely apologize for the sarcasm. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your sense of cleanliness.

  In all seriousness, I was even going to suggest that maybe occasionally washing the garbage can itself might make you feel better, but…I don’t think that would help.

  May I suggest fire, instead? Just some good ol’ gasoline and a match?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I right to be afraid of germs / is my family disgusting or am I overreacting and this is germaphobia? (read post)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What kind of toxic waste are you putting in your home trash can? Do you put dirty diapers in it? Raw meat? Dead animals?

  If it was a dumpster sitting in the back alley behind a brothel…yeah, casual contact may be hazardous to your health. But, a f it’s just the run-of-the-mill household trash, then it’s relatively harmless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump calls out Australia in blistering post declaring the US does not 'need' ally support in Iran⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool. No problem, then. Good to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump eases Russian oil sanctions as Iran war sends prices spiking⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No. I’m saying he put Trump into office so that he could be used to do whatever most benefits himself and Russia. You know that when you cultivate an asset and put them in a position of power, it isn’t necessarily with a specific objective in mind, right? You put them in that position so that no matter what happens, you have someone there to steer things in your favor. Putting Trump in office just conveniently opens all kinds of doors.

  Whether Trump attacking Iran was just a happy coincidence, or Putin actually suggested it in order to destabilize the oil markets…the outcome is, Putin is definitely getting his money’s worth out of Trump being President. No matter what Trump does, it always somehow benefits Russia in the end. That’s what I’m saying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Antiwoke Straight of Hormwin⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Less than that. They’d have to sell this particular gas at a discount, considering it would be radioactive after making this detour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Antiwoke Straight of Hormwin⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no way this is real.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump eases Russian oil sanctions as Iran war sends prices spiking⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you serious? Which part doesn’t make sense to you? The part where Trump is predictably escalating things with Iran…or the part where Putin helped put him in office in the first place?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this accurate, Canadians?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. That all checks out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump eases Russian oil sanctions as Iran war sends prices spiking⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He didn’t have to. He just needed to put Trump in charge of the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump eases Russian oil sanctions as Iran war sends prices spiking⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Putin is obviously playing 5-D chess here, while Trump is still trying to figure out checkers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colorado lawmakers debate bill that would ease union formation in the state⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All these “opt-out” laws undermine the entire foundation of how unions function. If you don’t want to be in the union, or pay the dues associated with that union…go find a non-union job. Working within a union and expecting to benefit from the collective bargaining agreement that union fought for, without contributing to the functioning cost of that union, just makes you a scab.

  As a reasonable person, I can admit that it’s always “possible” that ghosts exist. Meaning, that I am not 100% positive that they don’t.
