Yes. We know that. Some of us Americans have been trying to tell the whole world how bad it is here for a very long time. Lobby for the U.N. to send the blue hats to help us if you actually care

They know. The current situation is the product of a concerted effort by evangelicals for over 40 years now. They know.
I have BIG problems with organized religion. But I fucking draw that line at "reeducation camps". Wtf
This is true about almost every vice. That's why Prohibition didn't work. Almost as soon as alcohol was banned, people started making very adulterated products, people died, organized crime became a thing. It's the same idea with cannabis, sex work, other drugs, etc. The result of prohibition is almost always people getting hurt.
When I was in school I called my teachers liars/misinformed/uninformed all the time. I just didn't have chatgpt to summarize why, so I actually had to read a book if I wanted to make that claim and back it up. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with your professor, you shouldn't trust anything that anyone says blindly, ESPECIALLY FUCKING CHATGPT
It's this. Everybody else's take us missing this. I play a BUNCH of musical instruments, and when people are like, "Oh wow, how did you learn to play all of those. You must be so talented!" And I always say, "Time. Time and a lot of practice. And most importantly a LOT of patience with myself".
The thing is, to get good at something, you have to be bad at it first. And many people simply do not have the passion to keep pushing through the part where they're bad at it.
I'm with you dude. Every electric shaver I ever bought just kept breaking, so finally I got a pair of Wahl clippers. That's the only thing my beard doesn't just eat up. If I need to get closer I wet shave
Yi Haw!!!
Thats a very propertarian view of a non-propertarian issue. You have what you use. What you don't, you don't. If you leave your house vacant for too long a period of time, then somebody might take up residence. But if people don't just move into your home while you're on vacation now, why would they in a hypothetical system where the concept of property is radically different and presumably everybody has a home? Unless you're talking about second homes? Because that's a non starter. Nobody needs more than one home.
Same, dude. Same.
I don't think anybody's disputing that. That's kind of the whole point of the post, right? Everybody here gets that.
What everybody here DOESN'T get is that this kind of poverty is also present right here in the USA. I've encountered quite a few people who seem to believe that if you live in the U.S. AT ALL, then you're automatically lumped into that 10%, when that isn't actually the case.
It would be great if everyone were friends and got a long. But there are a lot of people who want other people dead just for not conforming to their very specific idea of correctness. And those other people need defending.
