  • If you want to judge the character of a person:

    Observe how they treat those they have power over, usually in terms of social hirarchy or economic position.

    Edit: Read the question wrong. Be nice to the service workers you rely on to get things done, like janitors, servers, cleaners, basically the bottom ranks of the totem pole.

    These people often are in positions where they can sabotage you, make your life difficult or slow you down. You really dont want to scream at the people who handle your importent paperwork, which can easily “get lost in the administration”…





  • My local queer events are full of NDs since there is a large overlapp, same with pen-and-paper groups, progressive and IT meetups.

    Sound a bit like a stereotype, but from personal experience all these places are full of the NDs or people who are generally very nice.

Now we just reached a breaking point as a planet and population, so the underlying systems start to break too and the people on top do everything to stay in power, including ditching reality altogether.

    The inability of conservative minds to stop hating good things is not aspirational and you calling it such makes you complicit in their goal of destroying humanity.

    Go home. If you still have one worth going back to
