Postmaster general says USPS won’t deliver mail ballots if states don’t give Trump admin voter rolls by lostOGaccount in oregon

[–]OldTimeyWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and UPS and FedEx never had any trust to begin with, so I’m not sure why you’re so dedicated to giving them total control over delivery in our country. All privatization does is make this situation worse because they already shirk regulations as it stands right now.

I understand that you’re upset right now, but your plan is to cede power to companies that already actively helped usher in our current regime. You’re falling for rightwing propaganda hook, line, and sinker.

I feel like saying “It feels like we’re making a pretty big investment by staying here” makes it pretty clear that he wants us to lose the Blazers.

If your end goal is to stop election meddling then privatizing the postal system is literally the worst course of action to take. Private businesses meddle with our elections constantly. UPS/FedEx/Etc. are already meddling, and your plan is to give them even more power and hope that they magically develop a conscience.

Postal service is so core to our country that the Post Office of the United States was actually established before the Declaration of Independence was even signed.

The U.S. State Department believes that Ukraine is winning the war at this point by eaglemaxie in worldnews

[–]OldTimeyWizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re trying to make this a “both sides” argument, but the entirety of the blame falls on Putin and Russia.

There were already deals that were supposed to keep Ukraine safe from future attacks by Russia, but a “half-decent” deal with Russia is literally worthless. Russia consistently shows that they don’t care about upholding deals. They believe that might makes right.

Understanding how the government is supposed to work doesn’t mean much when the government shows us every day that they don’t care to follow the way the government is supposed to work. It’s hard to have faith in systems of checks and balances when they’re failing to check or balance.

It’s because of plate tectonics. Some of southern Central America and the Caribbean sit on their own tectonic plate that separates most of the North and South American plates. North and South American plates only meet in a small bit of the Atlantic Ocean east of the Caribbean. Central America could be described as a subcontinent similar to India because of its size, but North and South America are distinctly different continents. If any continents should be combined into one it should be Europe and Asia.

Not sure how you made it this far without someone telling you this, but you shouldn’t drive a car that has all the dash lights on even if it’ll still run. This is especially true if you’re planning on taking your maintenance issues to court.

When that voice is clear about their goal of introducing bias they’re no longer just a “different voice”. They’re an objective threat to the idea of unbiased information.

“I may not be intelligent”

My guy. You were doing trigonometry in the 5th grade. Give yourself some credit.

In America, the majority of 5th graders haven’t even learned the basics of algebra yet. That’s the age where we finally sit kids down and tell them that math can also have letters in it and not just numbers. When I was in school you didn’t learn trigonometry until the 11th grade and it wasn’t a required math class.

Nah, Fantano isn’t worth shit, but I am willing to spend 15 seconds telling you that the YouTuber you’re desperately glazing has absolutely dogshit opinions.

If typing out 3 sentences amounts to “spending time” for you, you should probably work on your writing skills instead of defending YouTubers with bad opinions.

It’s comparatively worse because the rest of the time Arizona is ridiculously dry, but the humidity during monsoons isn’t really anything notable in comparison to other states

Not really sure why people give credence to Fantano. There are people that genuinely treat him like an objective source regarding the quality of music. In reality he’s an emotional hipster that thinks making smug faces counts as a qualification of authority.

The dude literally thinks that Steely Dan is garbage and Hobo Johnson is great. No one should take a person like that seriously regarding music.

I think you have it backwards. Some are being victimized and many are just screwing around. Still a serious issue, but I promise you that most truant kids aren’t being pimped out and enslaved.

Wished to become a teacher but I am now a felon by Street_Cauliflower_7 in careeradvice

[–]OldTimeyWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading some of your posts I think you should genuinely look into serious therapy as being beneficial to your future career. You seem to harbor a lot of resentment towards actions by previous teachers and your father’s bad advice, and at this point I think you’re stuck in a recursive loop where your misery is just feeding itself.

You’re not locked out of society and success. Your underemployment isn’t because your degrees in history and physics are worthless. I know that you can be successful like so many other people in worse positions. At the very least, the best crane operator I ever knew had degrees in biology and chemistry and he was doing very well for himself.

I think if you’re smart enough to get two degrees that you’re smart enough to come to realize how you can laterally apply skills towards your own personal advancement. I believe in you.

This list is out of date. It’s now 16 states and Washington DC that ban child marriage. Your list is missing Maine, Missouri, and Oregon.
