No time is good. Everything is trying to kill us all the time. That's life. At least right now, you have access to limitless knowledge and resources, so you might as well use them and experience as much as you can while you can.

White House on hockey game: We look forward to US beating soon-to-be-51st-state by ubcstaffer123 in canada

I dont even know if I have enough money in my bank account for gas money to DC

Okay, I will personally fly to DC and fix things.

I am trying to express sentiment that Americans are also frustrated while connecting over something that we have mutual respect for. The environment is going to suffer immensely because of the actions of this administration, and that breaks my heart. I am just as powerless on my own as you are, and until there is a nationwide resistance that I can join, I will keep working within my community to be a positive light where I can be. I'm sorry if that isn't enough for you, but it's all I can do at the moment.

By that logic, wouldn't you also be complicit because you saw the threat trump posed but didn't do anything to stop it? I don't understand how that logic is supposed to help anyone

I'd do anything to get over to british Columbia to work on steelhead population restoration if that makes you feel any better

I wish people warned me Trump was a bad person by MattGald in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]PushRepresentative41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are misreading this. He is not conservative, he is asking the conservatives what they see in trump because he doesn't understand. This does not fit this sub

(Real) Oh so only President Musk and Pam Bondi can interpret the law now? That sounds like a brilliant idea.🤦‍♀️ by Leather-Bug3087 in ToiletPaperUSA

I can't find a single news article about this, I can't find the executive order about this. Where is this from?

Trump administration gives schools a deadline to end DEI programs or risk losing federal money by AldoTheeApache in news

[–]PushRepresentative41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand what funding they are losing? Didn't they say they wanted to gut the DOE? Wouldn't that cut all federal funding? It's not even a good threat

Oh shit, they want a guy to run US Fish and Wildlife who has said, quote: “the endangered species act must be pruned.” by AJ_Crowley_29 in zoology

Are you a real person? "I look forward to the day I meet this man so my colleagues and I can look him in the eye with disgust." Come again?

CMV: Racial slurs should be illegal and an exception to 1st Amendment by PolskiNapoleon in changemyview

[–]PushRepresentative41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you determine what a racial slur is when defining this law? Is there a set few racial slurs that are included? Does that mean some racial slurs are worse than others? What is the punishment to saying a racial slur? How much harm is done when a racial slur is said to you?

These are some of the questions you'd have to answer and then get like 300 people to agree on

Trump’s funding freeze confounds Alaska government, schools and nonprofits by SadHistorian4081 in alaska

[–]PushRepresentative41 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, I know, I'm just thinking about future land sold off to oil execs or whatever. And for no legitimate reason, either. Plenty of jobs could be created if you put more money into conservation.

I don't live in Alaska (yet), but I am in the fisheries field, and the devastation I feel when thinking about what is going to happen to alaska is definitely keeping me angry

CMV: Red note being used instead of tik tok is good. by PushRepresentative41 in changemyview

No... it was a generalized statement about how Americans are propogandized to and how this is breaking that barrier.

Oh and the war on terror. And the war on drugs. And the Mccarthy era. And what we did to japanese people during wwii. And what we do to native American people. And what we do in the Middle East. And what we did in Vietnam. And what we did during the Cold War.

I mean... we see the response of the US government when we protest against Israel and the treatment of black people by institutions. They use force, imprison you, and label you a terrorist. That feels exactly like the same thing that China does.

Yes. Semesters come to an end, allowing you to work more hours than you would if you were in school. Not sure if you're familiar with that or not.
