There’s a world between saying “if you’re going to a protest, it’s best to keep safe, turn off period tracking, Face ID, potentially leave the phone at home” and “this tells me exactly what I need to know about this parade”

They didn’t treat the protest like a picnic. They took time out of their lives to protest against a president they disagreed with. “Worth criticizing,” I don’t know, it’s maybe worth educating people about? certainly not worth attacking them and their motives.

I think a successful movement is probably a mass movement, and that normal people, unversed in protest safety protocols, shouldn’t be treated like self aggrandizing assholes

If you’re referring to my being snarky, I don’t think I’m one to know the best way for protests to effect change. I’m sure a variety of tactics are good. I’m pretty sure best practices don’t include impugning the characters of millions of protesters for taking pics of signs they made, though

One final note, the article never refrences asking people about immigration, an issue I think republicans are far more unified on than democrats. Like how do we know we’re getting at the things conservatives actually do agree on

Also downright strange when one of the polled questions, are you in favor of gay marriage, itself, imo, reflects open mindedness and a desire for sexual and lifestyle pluralism. Dems are like, less open minded about being open minded, you know? In other words, they are less authoritarian.

This tracks for me, intuitively. I think it’s way more likely for a republican to be kinda checked out of politics than for a self identified dem to be. Idk how whoever posted that image is concluding that this reflects greater open mindedness or whatever, but there you go lol

If you’re interested, the article is basically about how when asked about a series of hot button political wedge issues (abortion, gay marriage, environmental protection, etc) republicans have more mixed opinions than dems do.

It’s interesting how the number one bias across all fields is toward the privileging the opinions and tastes of connoisseurs and experts. Really no changing that but it does lead to some odd places

Yeah I mean phones are going to change less with time, and people seem to gravitate, for good reason, toward ones that don’t have a bunch of novelties. I just don’t know if this is an Apple issue you know

You wake up every day with a YouTube channel named “Apple explained” and you find out that the iPhone is introducing a three percent improvement to their camera. It’s an existentially frightening moment, but I feel it’s your existentially frightening moment

But you’re excessively lowering the weight by getting the help, right? It’s like an elaborate way of lowering the weight

Massive improvement from the movie, but I like the book too

Anyway I love conclave and in the novel, the protagonist, lomelli, is bi. that’s the main difference. One refrence to the celibate protagonist having been attracted to men at one point. And for that alone it’s all worth it

Seeing some comments about how I should repost it. The video has almost 300k views as it stands, so I’m pretty sure it would just kinda thud in the algo. But I will be responding to a psycho Zionist on main soon so not worry

I regret trying to make “bigger projects” last year such that this wasn’t on the main channel. I would have loved to harm the man’s career to any extent

The word “First Nations” is used more frequently in Canadian contexts, is what I was saying. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an American resource use the term

I think that’s more Canadian

That’s very true. In fact the mirage that the books are fiction mostly just enables her to just repeat the same self help mantras over and over while pretending they’re plot relevant
