That’s what happens when you try to say eight things in two sentences.

Given that dumb requirement, I think they did a decent job.

I would agree. But the cable news business model won’t survive decades. I’d be a little surprised if FOX News is still around in a single decade.

UBI would be great for those who are working or not.

Yes! I would love to vote for anyone from any party, who has done one thing that transfers wealth from the shareholder class to the working class. For my entire life (born in 1980) every law I’ve ever heard of has done the opposite, and I’m sick of it.

Yes? Probably? It depends a little on why you’re using quotes. I assume you don’t mean the literal academic theory. And instead mean some kind of more reasonable version, of what Republicans and conservatives seem to mean (and irrationally fear) when they use the term.

That’s fine on it’s own.
As long as it doesn’t take away from fixing the actual problem. The way student loan forgiveness eclipsed trying to actually control higher education prices.

At no point have I felt excluded for being white, nor threatened by what has been shared.

Right. Of course not. That’s not the issue. The issue is that minority history months treat the minority history as something separate from ‘normal’ history. Instead minority histories should be taught as an indistinguishable part of the respective time period.

The fact that you didn’t learn those new things in history when you were in school is the problem. That’s where the solution and proper equity is to be found.

I’m not sure if that’s insane or brilliant.

Of course that’s their answer. It would be breaking HIPAA laws to tell the press. Or the police, unless she was in custody.

There is a long history of law enforcement not taking threats of violence seriously, when they come from white conservative groups.

The Secrete Service might. As far as I know they take all threats to the president as pretty serious. But that only helps the president, not the rest of us.

That’s called willful ignorance. You’re actively ignoring, or trying not to see another view point.

So you’re right, people can and do go without many basic things, so where are they coming up with the $$$ for these PS5s?

When they don’t spend money on nice cloths and their own apartment, it frees up a lot of money that can then be used on things that are more important to them. Things like a PS5.

I can’t justify spending $500 for a game system when I have to buy clothes and groceries (especially groceries) and prioritize other expenses. I COULD afford to buy everyone in my neighborhood a PS5 - but seriously there are other things they really need more.

Being able to afford something, is when you don’t need to prioritize necessities over it. You have enough left over after buying your cloths and food.

Looks like that’s where you’re overspending.

I’m an XRay Tech in a hospital. I LOVE my 3, 12 hour days! It’s only an extra 4 hours each day. Then I have 4 day weekends, EVERY WEEK! It’s amazing! I could never go back to 5 day work weeks.

How many candidates did they run? It certainly wasent 24,000.

You’re making a lot of assumptions. People can go without many things you may think are basic.

Those 30yo people buying PS5s may be living with their parents because they can’t begin to afford their own place. Maybe they have 5 roommates who all pooled their savings for 6 months to buy it together. Maybe they simply don’t have a car.

There’s also the obvious selection bias of being in a Game Stop. You won’t see all the people who can’t afford a game console shopping there.

To me it’s quite staggering that someone who considers themselves “Well Off” can’t afford an occasional $500 expense. That’s generally considered “Living Paycheck to Paycheck”. I can only assume you’re overspending in some ways.

Awesome! Honestly that’s more important to me than her being trans. I just assumed she’d be another lawyer. But having real jobs represented is great!

Offspring would be the term.

I certainly do. You got the point perfectly.

It’s my pointless, useless, impossible, imaginary battle against the world itself. But hey. You don’t fight the fight because you can win. You fight the fight that needs fighting.

Do you really believe I don’t know individual words are used in different ways?

I thought it would be obvious, that I just believe useing words with the least ambiguous and narrowest meaning available, is a more clear way to communicate.

In this case offspring would undeniably be the term to fit the meaning parents want to convey. Continuing to use child is a sign their concept of their offspring hasn’t kept up with the current reality. The fact that this behavior is common dosen’t mean it’s correct and immune from criticism.

Both it, and your attitude of infallibility, are just two of the many windmills I fight against.

I don’t fly helicopters either. But when I see one stuck in a tree, I know that’s not right.
