Very much how I feel. One path gives us the opportunity to improve our situation eventually, the other wishes to burn it all down and create a religious dictatorship, or whatever the hell you'd call the Trump/MAGA/right wing of the U.S.' ideal version of government.

No one says you can't vote, or think how you want to think, by all means this is a free country.

The issue I run into is that everyone is being purity tested to an extent that no individual who is at least somewhat tolerable to much of the political middle in the U.S., is acceptable to a specific subset of people who are constantly outraged by something.

Many of these same people complain endlessly about many of the issues a Trump presidency is going to greatly exacerbate, and don't seem to understand, none of us get what we want, but helping to elect him by not voting for the only real alternative seems insanely illogical in my mind. Much like the post states.

It makes no sense to me, "this person is going to burn everything down, but I'm not going to support the only alternative who does things that aren't nearly as bad..."

I'm convinced if it wasn't the conflict in Palestine it would be some other issue that would prevent them from being able to "morally" support Biden.

Yes the conflict in Palestine is terrible, yes there are atrocities occuring, no I don't have any of the solutions.

There seem to be a subset of people that only want to see the negative in every aspect of life and this carries over to politicians/politics in general. The grass is forever more green elsewhere.

I recently asked a friend trapped in this bubble if they had seen the new Mario movie, as I attempt to avoid politics with them at this point in time, and I received the answer, "No, fuck Chris Pratt." I didn't bother asking why, but it seems that nearly ever aspect of life, except the ones they choose to conveniently ignore is reason for social outrage and some how it is "Biden's Fault," with complete disregard to what the alternative looks like.

But 3rd parties!!! Oh yes, because statistically splitting your vote between the only two groups with a chance of being elected to office is the "moral solution."

I don't ever want to hear about "harm reduction" from them again, when their "moral" decision results in women's healthcare being a literal afterthought and rights for a variety of marginalized communities being stripped away. 1,500 people a week are still dying from COVID in the U.S., but hey, let's help elect the party that wants to continue erroding any remaining social safety nets, because you know, people who get sick don't matter as much as this months zeitgeist of social outrage.

It's not so much about filling it up, but when someone goes to eventually renovate the place lol. Open the drywall and just have a bunch of blades to clean up... Or if you get a leak and have to now deal with a puddle of rusty blades.

I want to say that possibly one of the medicine cabinets had a smaller container that collected them at some point, but again, it was still fixed behind the wall lol.

Multiple homes I've lived in have had these slots in the medicine cabinets lol.

Did they anticipate people not living long enough to care? Or that some biome would form to use the blades as food?

Interesting decisions all around.

I am not from Canada, but have noticed many subreddits are becoming more more toxic. Even subs that used to be somewhat reasonably moderated are nearly intolerable from the amount of trolls.

I am very sorry you all are living like that, it would drive me mad.

However you classify them, they are deadly to many people.

It can't possibly have any relationship to morons like Florida's Surgeon General citing bogus claims and vaccine efficacy denialism could it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They did the same in Florida... And we are yet going to try again...
