This reeks of a highschool/college student with strong ideals and very little real world experience. Good luck destroying the democratic party, the Republicans have been trying for decades.

Like molasses?

I really can't tell if you're being an asshole or not. These are people I grew up around, admiring some of. The uncle I fished with and his son, my cousin, currently beyond reach. I spent every summer with them. It's heartbreaking. Am I going to cave and let them back in without some kind of 'come to Jesus' moment? No, but I am willing to let them admit that they were wrong, successfully lied to, and become welcome members of the family again, because I'm not a monster and neither are they. I don't think they genuinely believe half of the shit they spout, but do it to fit in. They never had an opinion about immigrants or trans people until it was fed to them. They were just happy hicks doing normal happy hick shit.

Drill baby drill. My well is super iron rich but remediable, it runs through a big salt filter then we put in through a Brita to drink. I would look for a section of ledge and save up to drill through that.

Idk man I'm just upset about my family and jealous of people that don't have to deal with writing off roughly half the people they care about.

What about when it's your family? I am estranged from a lot of people that I care deeply for because they refuse to engage with reason. I'm not trying to put anyone on a pedestal, good or bad.

I just want people to know that they are welcome to change their minds, nobody is going to mock them for doing so, or say I told you so. That's what they expect, and pride is part of what holds many of them back from admitting that they were wrong. Because it's what they would do. Unfortunately, we're going to need to take the high road.

I understood that you were making a joke

At some point we need to start welcoming people to the Light, instead of demonizing them for having been in the Dark. It's pretty difficult for me not to dunk on people as they wake up to the nightmare that they voted for, but a lot them ARE actually otherwise decent folks. Making America Great is going to involve deprogramming a lot of people.

Don't discount the value of surface water, be it for irrigation, livestock, power generation/pumped hydro, or simply boiling the piss out of and filtering. I am working on an impoundment at the high point of the property and a pumping system to get water up there/generate electricity on it's way back down.

Dude it's free there isn't anything to buy except cosmetics

Damn bro are you okay?
