They’re actively eroding the bread supply and making the circuses harder and harder to access. We know where that leads.

I confess I didn’t see the bit about the gif so I guess

I ain’t seen shit before he tossed the stacks. Not my money, not my business, not my problem, and I SURE don’t talk to cops. Thanks for the tip, bruh.

My mother wonders why I have such a vendetta against advertisements. She got an ad on a YouTube video convincing her with a onslaught of fake pop-ups she had to update her PDF reader. Lord knows what would have happened if she had clicked it. If the only way to receive your product is to watch an ad, I’m going somewhere else full atop.

We’re like pandas in captivity. We’ll fuck if the conditions are right. They haven’t been right in a loooooong time. A little bit of enrichment in our enclosures would help tremendously.

Everything is politics. The only way to avoid politics is to completely remove yourself from society. Sorry it hurts your feelings to see, but that’s the reality of it, so get over it.

Every time I read this the number of feet gets bigger, and the number of teeth gets smaller. Fantastic.

Meh, probably. It’s fun though.

No. Politics isn’t just about voting. It’s everything Every action. Every shitty post on the Internet. Everything you buy - you’re voting with your dollars. Your attention. Your time.

No, you individually probably don’t contribute that much to the direct decisions, but your voice reaches others, helps mold their opinions, change how they see and interact with the world. Then they go and do the same thing. That’s all politics.

Something like the climate is a centuries long process to change. Your vote moved the needle one way or the other, absolutely. But something like the climate takes generations, multiple administrations, choices, processes…

So like… You didn’t vote for it to be cold, no. You voted for a person who had a set of policies that will impact the world, moving things in a certain direction. And further, the fact that the world is as it is now is the result of all of those previous votes throughout history. You live IN politics. You are not exempt from it, your world is literally molded by it.

I’m not reading you. Nothing is implied by anything. You live in a political world. It is shaped by the politics going on around you. Your simple existence shapes the politics of the world. You cannot be apolitical. You can only be ignorant of the myriad ways politics influences your life, your abilities, the obstacles you fact, the choices you have… Everything.

I’m not saying you have to pick a specific side, or that anything you do means you’re going to vote one way or the other. That’s insane. Its a bit like Rush. You ever listen to them? If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. You can choose not to engage with politics actively, but you’re still engaging with it by just existing. May as well do so with an informed opinion.

It’s not about sides, in this context. It’s just -political-. Whether you vote conservative, progressive, anything in between, you, me, and the whole rest of the world has to deal with that decision.

If you buy the current science on global warming, literally yes. The politics of generations ago still affect us to this day, including such things as the fossil fuel industry’s massive prevalence.

Even at home. The luxury of indoor plumbing and utilities in general are pretty firmly political.

Pooping itself, no. Probably not political. But getting to the point where you have indoor plumbing, provided by a utility company you probably pay significantly less than the actual cost of said utility? Yeah, that’s the direct result of politics.

It means that the impacts of the politics on you change each day. It means you are in a place where the politics have allowed you to have these myriad options.

Literally an impossible position. Every facet of your day to day life is the result of politics. They may be ignorant of politics. They may hate politics. But they were born into a political world, and so they are a part of politics.

It’s probably not just a soft poo, it probably is actually diarrhea, but you’re also probably right about the why. People in America basically don’t eat fiber. Get a couple of items with beans and lettuce on them, congratulations you just had more fiber than your entire family’s even LOOKED AT in the last 6 months. It’s gotta go somewhere, and if you don’t have the microbiome to handle it…

Unless you ask for no/less ice, yeah, most of the volume is ice. I’d wager that for the typical fountain drink, they’re probably pretty close to the same amount of sugar syrup. Now, is the ice any better for you? No, that shits FILTHY, but that’s a story for another time.

Honestly it sounds like we’re describing the same driving style, and I’m just pointing out nuances to the specific wording of the law. And, ultimately, it boils down to, as you said, the driving habits (more than the actual laws) of the area you’re in. I do, in fact, live in the states, where those kinds of rules aren’t really enforced, and people weave through lanes more or less however they want. In that environment, minimizing your own lane changes is maximizing predictability.

For what it’s worth, I don’t ever foresee a time where I’ll be driving in any other countries, but in that event, yeah, I’ll have to adjust a bit, probably.
