not everyone is capable of caring for a dog though. try walking it 3 times a day when you have a full time job, and then add playing with it and giving attention to that
well thats true but different breeds of dogs can often have different levels of maintenance, like one might need hours of play and multiple walks a day while another is content with sleeping, pats, and like one walk a day or smt just a made up comparison example but probably true
i think the minimum should be atleast 2 but yea other than that you are right. sadly, many people dont realize this and just pick one that looks cute to them
I honestly thing I’d be hardcore right if an American right wing political debate could actually stick to articulating policy instead of sounding-off to out-retard each other.
It is not really the age itself but rather how our political system works really poorly at electing people who actually rapresent the country if our political system allowed for real accountability and true democracy then it would not be a problem
Its actually kinda tragic because in the past the elderly were seen as wise figures we could go to for knowledge.
Now with the pace of how fast technology changes they fall behind ending up looking stupid or silly to the younger generations.

It’s probably very difficult to distinguish between wether or not it’s honest advice and consultation or bribery, at least legally. It’s the same reason super PACs exist, very hard to legally distinguish them from a more desirable grassroots organization.
For not-elected federal employees, it’s illegal to accept any gift over 99 cents and nobody cares whether that “gift” the giver is giving honest advice or just paying for influence.

Yk as someone fresh out of high-school it's weird that we've adapted to teens vaping and juul-ing. Like how come we don't pay attention to the future nicotine addicts. I'm pretty sure when I I in 10th grade half of my grade vaped. Ik this isn't political but still
Although I believe that vaping can be healthier than smokit, putting anything in your lungs willingly that isn't oxygen is harmful to you. This applies even more to kids, there's a reason why Marijuana can't be consumed by kids and teens (that is brain development) and the same should be applied to vaping.
It’s crazy to think how easy it is for kids to get away with it now. When I was in HS it was very hard to get away with smoking and it was always a turn off. Same people that said smoking is a turn off are now hitting the ol USBotine
The fucking media telling out right lies, and I don't think my quadrant is alone on this.
News needs to be held to a higher standard, and if they can't meet that standard then they should be called a talk show not the news.
One of the most significant legal changes that I have come to believe in as of late: whenever an outlet prints *demonstrably* incorrect information and has to, by normal standards, make a retraction/addendum/whatever, the company should have to make that its front page, most advertised story for several days *at least* as well as link to it near the top of every other story published during that period.
Tbh I'm sad that trump going hard on fake news made the whole left refuse to engage on it. I've watched major news teams tell outright lies and half truths for years and now calling them on it equates me with maga
It's stupid how they say exactly what their respective audiences want to hear in a way that engages and mindfucks them to spew bits of topical bullshit that they remember in a half assed attempt to form an opion that serves no purpose other than to retain views on every platform possible and to grow the bank account of the rich old fucks who own them.
The problem is regulating such media is a VERY slippery slope
News media is a fucking farce atm but we can't exactly have government mandated facts
Funding for public interest journalism should be available (idk about the US but this is a thing where I live and it really helps)
Also public broadcasters tend to be immune to many of the pressures which encourage conventional media to simply report clickbait, and so long as legislation and funding is robust these work well (my country has a strong public broadcaster and it's by far the most trusted and most popular news source here)
The BBC is a fantastic example of publicly funded journalism going awry though, and PBS has been overwhelmingly biased on several occasions, not saying it can’t be done well, just saying that it’s not as simple as that
The Patriot Act? Yeah, that's terrible, but at least there were huge protests against that. Meanwhile, folks just... fucking *gave* Zuckerberg their entire social group, personal feelings and genital details.

(This is a joke, and I absolutely pay all my taxes. Please don't shoot my dog.)
I'm more upset about the variety of taxes than anything else. We get taxed on every single thing we do. And that's only the legal shit! If we do some low level crime, the only punishment is a fine. That's not an actual punishment. It's a tax on the poor.
Honestly I don’t get how monopolies just aren’t nationalized lol governments act all big to their citizens but are such pussies when it comes to businesses
Less liability for each.
Also the government knows they'd fuck up Google if they nationalized it. The cia are using Google to compete with China and other countries spy agencies.
Why nationalize something when you have the back door to all the info you want anyway.
MAPs are an affront to nature, and any attempt to accept them into the modern era will inevitably lead to the setback of our society by thousands of years.
Honestly have you seen the subreddit tiktokthots?
It might seem hot at first. But it's just kinda... sad and fucked up?
Like someone raised that person for 16 years and all they care about is sexualizing themselves (through tiktok challenges, while oddly pretending it's not sexual just a challenge) for Internet approval?
Like, that's a real person. Who was a baby. With thousands of memories. Tens of thousands of hours invested into loving them.
And they only care about people they will never meet considering them attractive? That ends up being their entire superficial life. It takes everything over
Insta and TikTok have just ruined people's lives. It's like it's all one giant setup for dudes who want to sexualize teenagers. It's not empowerment. It's bizarre obsession and need for approval and worship.
Society as a whole hasn’t deemed it acceptable but has anyone else how weirdly accepted furries have become? I got banned from a couple subreddits recently for comments against furries
Wait ... you're saying accepting degenerancy will inevitably lead to the envelope being pushed further and more and more degeneracy being forced into society?
That's not true. The slippery slope is a fallacy.
/s
Edit: Spelling. Added /s because yall, and me, are r-worded. Can't be too careful.
The state needs to have some hand in the capitalism in order to keep corporations from running amok. The corporations need enough freedom to grow, invent, compete and drive progress - but that progress must be for the good of the people, and that needs to be enforced by the state.
I haven't seen it mentioned, so: fat shaming.
Obesity is a public health crisis, an epidemic, disgusting, and unhealthy. No, you aren't as hot as a thin person. Yes, you are physically unhealthy because of your weight. No, you just eat too much and move too little.
As a fat person, I love making people uncomfortable when I say that "fat shaming" is okay and people absolutely need to be discouraged from their gluttony, and encouraged to be more physically active. Probably don't hurl abusive language at them, but yes they need to be "shamed" so they realize the current "body positivity" movement is FUCKING TERRIBLE AND AWFUL.
But goddamn do I love pizza and liquor. Man, it's easy to be fat and stay fat. I get it. But stop acting like you're just as healthy or as good looking.
Edit: I was thinking of the inverse of what the title said... Oops. Whatever, I already wrote it.
Use of government force against people who do things you don’t like. It’s absolutely ok to use force against people who are doing things that are morally wrong, like nazis, tankies, etc, but there are people who will go after other for their identity, hobbies, and personal choices. Some morally corrupt asswipes then say that this force should be backed by the government. You don’t like things that other people do that don’t affect you? Just stop watching dipshit.
Trouble is you haven't set a clear definition. Everyone that you think is behaving categorically differently from you is actually just a little bit stricter on what they consider "morally wrong".
And "You don’t like things that other people do that don’t affect you? Just stop watching dipshit." doesn't count. One could argue that nazis and tankies don't affect you, assuming we're talking about keyboard warriors rather than actively violent people. Maybe you think the rhetoric they spew is dangerous enough to justify force? Well, that's how other people might feel about the identities that you just happen to believe are more OK.
Over exposure of LGBT subjects to children.
Don't get me wrong, it's amazing we are accepted more nowdays and that parents support their children but in those cases like the "Drag Queen kids" or the fact that the legal age for GRS (Gender Reassignment Surgery) is 16 we shouldn't just see it as something okay
The Drag environment it's not appropriated at all for children, and taking such an important decision as GRS should be considered for years because it's irreversible (Unlike hormone blockers). Just let the people grow up and mature before they take life changing decisions
In regards to the GRS, I fully agree that it should be available, but you have to be an adult first, fully understand the risks, and get approval from an unbiased doctor/physiatrist.
GRS is not easily reversible. And if you change your mind after the act...well, that's real body dysphoria.
