The chain drug store near me doesn’t lock things up, they just leave the shelves empty. I’ve rarely gone there without being unable to find at least one thing from my list, and I don’t go to the drug store with long lists. Sadly I don’t have a locally-owned alternative

It seems to me that if that’s a primary reason they believed then a claim that didn’t have those clips like trans surgery for undocumented immigrants should have lower rates of belief, not the highest

At all, or in response to him? Because I don’t blame him in the slightest for not wanting to interact with the latter (though I agree that they probably should be in a separate list from what’s presumably being copied by many people who are not him)

My most successful narrative shift for biking more was “bike as default, driving should be a choice,” it worked much better than feeling bad about driving did. It doesn’t have to be a defended choice, even “I feel like it” is a fine reason, as long as the choice is acknowledged and made consciously
