There's this implication that the same number of people required for reform are required for Revolution and that is not necessarily the case. Revolution can include a large majority of people, but if it did, it's more likely that a relatively peaceful revolution would be able to take place. Violent revolution is typically thrust upon people. Not everyone will want to or is equipped to be able to do a revolution. It's not like every American colonist was behind the American revolution. Many were loyalists, many fled, and many did fuck all and watched it happen around them. Some did a little, some did a lot.

All that really required is enough people organized to fight off the people who would fight to keep the current state alive.

I use to before I had to get a new job. Now I'm just trying to settle in to a rhythm before I start again. Being sober is clown shit

Creators still have access on the backend to their like/dislike ratios. Many creators have already come out and confirmed that the extension is completely off base. Not sure what the mechanism is for inflating the counts, but it's confirmed that it absolutely does not mean shit a lot of the time

You already admitted your title sucked, but your title alone is worthy of a ban imo. Idk about permanent if you're willing to to take some criticism, but writing off the rest of your post as going "I guess the title was a little inflammatory" tells me you're more interested in justifying your pov.

Never seen redscarepod, but occasionally been linked to their subreddit and it seems like a bunch of terfs.

Way more c++ than I would have expected.

Very good write up! I love the approaches you used!

Anime is literally just Japanese cartoons. Comes in all varieties. Just demonstrates the speakers ignorance. Lots of them in this comment section

You're being downvoted because your question makes no sense. Both NYC and New York State are mentioned, so what are you even asking for clarification on?

Deeply unserious

Enforcement agencies, vague talk about legalization, makes more sense, now we're getting somewhere. Hope you're able to find your way to a better career path. Lots of people partake in activities that others don't approve of. I don't think that means we should enforce our will on others. I personally think Christianity is a cult that primarily recruits through the indoctrination of children, but I'm also a fan of religious freedom. Condolences on your loss.

Ok fair point. Though I'll say in my experience I don't see people being weird out by 33/40 or even 33/51 in most cases. It's almost always with someone in their early 20s and it comes off weird when you know that the brain isn't even finished developing until years later. I think once someone reaches around 25-30 then they are truly considered "adult" in a more broad social sense.

Common complaint from people is that we send "kids" to war, but obviously most don't. We just know that's it's fucked up to make young people 18- early 20s make life altering decisions.

You ever read Fahrenheit 451? It's just a decent read imo, but it has a few gems worth mentioning. In case you're unfamiliar, it follows the story of a man (named Guy) who lives in a future version of America where books have been outlawed.

Guy meets a former English professor and begins to read in secret. In one of their meetings, the English professor tries to get Guy to talk about what he's thinking, but Guy is being timid in sharing his thoughts. The professor then says this

You're afraid of making mistakes. Don't be. Mistakes can be profited by. Man, when I was young I shoved my ignorance in people's faces. They beat me with sticks. By the time I was forty my blunt instrument had been honed to a fine cutting point for me. If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.

To hide your ideas this way is to live in a bubble, and you cannot grow your mind this way.

I've seen like 5 comments where you refuse to expand on your views. This is a formal invitation to bring your opinion to the marketplace of ideas and have it sorted out.

Nah, you're just dumb as fuck actually

Also anyone dating legal teenagers as an adult are weird AF. Gives off "Id go lower but the law won't let me"

13/13 is fine. It is definitely about the gap wtf?

Literally. Outside of trusted circles you know what to expect from most of society

Marginalized groups tend to be the loudest about oppression of all varieties.

IMHO both groups have bad apples

Oh bad people can come from anywhere, what a salient observation.

By every important measurable standard, women are still treated worse in contemporary society. The fact you would respond with this nothing take when someone brings up misogyny is incredibly telling. Wishing well to any women unlucky enough to be in your life.
