This is an opinion I’ve held and, as you’re getting some flak for, I have as well. Apathy of voting just for the sake of D or R is one thing, but apathy to the point of not even caring who wins is even worse. As the saying goes, elections have consequences, and you can at least do something for or against those consequences. It really comes down to how willing you are to be cognizant of having an ideology or just getting sucked into one.

Enjoy the view from the crusty chair in the corner on loan from Vance, ya dud.

Sign an open letter, letter gets published, see who else signed that open letter, backpedal because of the associations, sign the next open letter denouncing the problematic signatories of the first one, emails go out, committees are formed, platitudes are had, repeat.

Insert James Acaster here: “What’s the matter, guys? Too challenging for you?“

The article said nothing about intellectual disability, but it did suggest some older people contextually from their complaints. Here’s an actual citation from one of the complaints that I think sums it up perfectly:

Now, i’m an intelligent [person], at least I consider myself that to be. I am a huge fan of elon musk and tesla. I only bit into this because it did sound too good to be true.

It’ll sound like splitting hairs, but I’ll try:

Trigonometry is based on the Pythagorean theory being true. They proved the Pythagorean theorem effectively in reverse without using the theorem itself as a basis. So they used the structure of trigonometry to prove the basic underlying principle of trigonometry. Bad analogy: kind of like if you have an airplane first, and THEN you worked out the physics of lift. You knew it could fly and how to fly it, but never questioned how it worked.

Vance said that he had not heard the joke and that “maybe it’s a stupid racist joke” or “maybe it’s not”

Schrödinger’s racism, apparently
