Yup. It’s the same affect as with a lot of other things. Like when I see someone say “Think of the children.” Sounds great, and we should be thinking of the children. But I usually don’t see it used by people who want to actually protect children.

Yup. This was it for me. Ordered a burger from a no name local place. It came in a Red Robin bag and container. Apperantly they gave no fucks. Since then if I found a place, and it turned out to be real, I just marked it with the heart. Anything not marked it either a big name chain restaurant, or it’s suspect. Especially since we also know about ghost kitchens where it’s one place posted under at least 10 different restaurants.

Edit: Just for shits and giggles, I just loaded up the app. First place I didn’t recognize I checked and Google shows it in the middle of an industrial complex. No restaurant signs anywhere to show where it’s at.

Then I saw “the burger den”, which another person said is Dennys. Google maps takes it to Dennys

I’ll probably stick with my current one for now, but if they start opening up and bring their future phones to the US , I might consider switching over. Depends on the specs, but the idea of being able to just get a new battery once the old one starts dying is a major plus.

Apperantly kids are cheaper than I thought

I also feel like it’s become more right wing. Or at least now that some people have left, the balance has shifted further to the right. I went on yesterday, and r/WhitePeopleTwitter, a fairly left wing sub, is now having a lot of Republicans. Really killed my desire to go back. It was something I know a lot of people predicted would happen, but still sad in a way to see.

Edit: Also the fact that the main niche subs I went to are dead. They used to be pretty active, but since they reopened, a lot of users were not happy. So now it’s a post every few days. I think one of the subs just got completely deleted. Sadly they’re not as active here.

I missed it. Like I was around, but I don’t know what started it. Just logged on one morning and learned I wasn’t allowed to shit for 3 days.

You can’t tolerate fascism. To tolerate that and let genocide happen is to be a piece of shit as well.

It is a protected class

The first amendment is the thing you’re missing with all of this. People can discriminate against gay people. But only if it takes away their first amendment. The courts ruled that art should not be forced. So they don’t have to serve gay people. But if someone is selling a car, that has nothing to do with art.

There’s a huge difference between having food to eat

And having millions of dollars doing nothing

Or me living in an apartment

And someone living in a building that could take up a whole city block

It’s not the fact that they have money. It’s how they get it and what they do with it.

I have money, but I don’t have enough to save. I don’t make enough to do much outside of maybe buy a small amount of food for a homeless person. I’m not solving shit. However, living in the city I have had people ask for some change, and I’ve done it. But I can’t do shit.

However, there are people who can actually help that won’t. They get more money than they need and then just sit on it. Many of them get it through exploiting others.

But if we want to ignore things scaling and just reach, if I give a homeless person a dollar, should he not share that?
