I am US based so any and all comments, criticisms, jokes, opinions, etc. will be colored (SEE NO U) with that as my lived perspective.

That said, I really and truly wish you have had an at least OK day today. If not, maybe tomorrow will be better eh?

Direct message

(I am US based and this is my US based argument - please do not EuroTroll me)

But herein lies the problem. “Progressive” often means new or novel. Conservative mostly means “preserve the status quo.” (I’m over simplifying for the sake of making a point, I know).

Conservatives are willing to sit on the status quo and work against change as they can. Progressives want to right wrongs NOW and make effective changes for the future. Unfortunately, because our society grows and changes quickly, and what is right today can be wrong tomorrow and the target moves, so progressive goals also move. Meanwhile conservatives are still plugging away at keeping the status quo.

I’m trying to say that the nature of progressives is to change goals and make things better, which makes it harder to coalesce around one goal for 10, 20, 40+ years. When your target is the past, its easy to keep that in sight as you go forward.

The worst part is Republicans are the first ones to trot out “mandate from the people” whenever they get elected…

If you have kids, the PBS Kids video app is pretty alright. And free (in the US of course)

Very hard game!

There’s a companion app that you can use to track health and whatnot for free. If you pay $3 you can unlock a digital version of the game in the app.

I’m on iOS so only have a link to it on the Apple App Store. There might be an Android version as well.

charisma

kə-rĭz′mə

noun

  • A rare personal quality attributed to leaders who arouse fervent popular devotion and enthusiasm.
  • Personal magnetism or charm.

Is he charming? Depends on preference I think. Does he “arouse fervent popular devotion and enthusiasm”? Absolutely. Why? Hard to say exactly (again, personal preference) but he fits the dictionary definition of “charismatic” to a T.
