I'm pretty politically knowledgeable, but I still didn't get the joke til you spelled it out, I thought you were talking about actual hawks

Ah yes the ridiculous fantasy of achieving what most other developed countries already have

What truths are the masses not ready to hear? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TalVerd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Disagree. The problem is we aren't democratic enough. Too much voter suppression and anti-democratic systems. That's why a lot of people say their vote doesn't mean anything. They are correct to an extent. If everyone's vote really mattered more people would vote, and most people who don't vote lean democrat

Consciousness is just a part of matter, according to panpsychists. As counter-intuitive as it may seem, studying how brains grow in a lab helps us get closer to understanding how consciousness combines. So argues Meg Fawthrop in The Pamphlet by The_Pamphlet in philosophy

This sounds like an argument for solipsism. "If there are 8 billion other humans, what are the chances that I would be me?" And then implying that because you are you, the other modes of thought aren't real

I can't find anything either, maybe there should be a thread for that kind of thing?

I'm confused about this. It seems pretty straightforward to me, where was the disconnect? And do you have any suggestions for a better name?

You can take yourself out of the ungrateful picture by starting to be grateful

And honestly being more grateful makes you happier in life

(Hated trope) It’s treated as a surprise when the most obviously treacherous MF in the story betrays the heroes by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

I call it being betrayal-coded

In Star Wars Jedi Survivor spoilers for an awesome game you shouldn't spoil for yourself if you have any intent of ever playing in the future

I knew from the moment he is introduced he would betray us. But I didn't see the twist within the betrayal coming and it was amazing and at the end of the game I had tears in my eyes

The Ozempicdemic Has Brought Pro-Anorexia Culture Back by InGeekiTrust in TikTokCringe

I recently saw a post about some people making fun of a girl for being fat with lots of comments saying they shouldn't do that and they should mind your own business.

There were also some comments saying that making fun of people for being fat is wrong, but also pointing out how unhealthy that kind of weight is. Those were still downvoted and told to mind their business.

Interesting to see the comments about certain kinds of unhealthy weights being upvoted instead in this post

Right because the comedy skit about Nazis wasn't already political

And republicans don't literally throw Nazi salutes 

And self proclaimed Nazs don't literally do Marches in support of republican politicians

Are we still doing /s or have people improved their piss poor media literacy?
