They eat most small critters they see including ticks.

I think we already did reputation wise. Economically, give it a bit longer cause I think we’re playing great depression 2: techie boogaloo.

We used to do the vitamin c but then were like its too easy to get elsewhere why bother.

Right but the poofy dandelions aren’t pollen they’re seeds.

I usually don’t listen to videos but since you’re respectful so far I did listen to this one. We agree with the current reality of the system. I think what is neglected is that additional regulation (laws and constitutional amendments) are the only nonviolent way for a society to change. Enough good regulation results in first social democracy then moving closer to socialism. The major requirement is for companies/ceos/shareholders to be prevented from having the poison pill influence that they do under even Nordic social democracy. Sufficient taxation above a given limit is a relatively simple way of preventing the wealth hoarding that lets a person or company have that influence and preventing acquisitions and mergers that prevent diversification of economies.

I just don’t see the class/general consciousness necessary for “true” socialism to succeed being present in our lifetime. I can see social democracy as possible because of Bernie, AOC, and renewed working class solidarity.

Capitalism will always try and prioritize profit over all else. Effective regulation(again that doesn’t currently exist same as your tankie utopia) would enforce protections and itself be protected from capitalist interference. The problem for either of us is that greed exists, some people will always want more. No governmental change will remove them from society, unless you want to debate what scale of greed is allowable before a summary execution. I’d say allowing their existence within a limited framework that protects the rest of us without murder is better.

You are still talking about what is in this debate rather than what could be. An ideology of black and white absolutism inherently makes a “purity test” hierarchy. It’s why you’re already attacking me as part of the problem instead of any attempt to change my perspective. Same issue happened at both the first and second international because Marx and his followers didn’t believe in antiwar general strikes. At least we agree on something much more left than we have.

Any system devolves to some form of shit of allowed.

Bud, I’m talking about what a middle ground centrist would want. It’s certainly not the past or current US government. It’s a lot lefter than is even available as choices besides maybe Bernie and the Squad. It just isn’t as left as tankies dream of.

There is a middle ground between the unregulated facists capitalism of today and the anarchy or authoritarian socialism of tankies.

That middle ground means that capitalism is allowed but is regulated. Minimum wage is a living wage, slave or child labor products are not allowed on the market. We do have social services including healthcare and UBI. However, there is no middle ground on perceiving much less treating anyone as lesser. Nazis and supremacist groups and systems are stamped out like the filth they are.

It is quite far from the default. That’s just a perception issue. Most young adults aren’t even having sex much less casual sex. Like sure tinder exists but it is primarily a fwb generator, not a meet someone new to fuck every day (at least for most people).

Calfire inmate firefighters volunteer for placement in it. It’s bad enough as is but don’t make it something it isn’t.

State jail means no federal commutation. Gavin (and CA legislature) would be the people to yell at.

Yellowstone is good if you actually hike and do the physical things. If you only do the geyser paths and driving it is hard to be away from a crowd. And so many idiots trying to get close to wild animals (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Honestly, that’s the case for most of the more famous national parks but Yellowstone and Grand Canyon are the ones that get a surplus due to their worldwide fame.

That said I still count it as a place every American should visit and think it’s worth a visit. If you really want to reduce the other people, visit in winter but some things may not be available but some other things are.

Cops are infamous for killing dogs. So instead of doggy style sex, doggy style for a cop is shooting them.

And? Trans is even more cooked under Rs what exactly can an ally do politically until next primaries anyway?

Not if you need to stir it.

Most spears didnt have rounded spikes so you could still slash with them. Using the pole to whack people with was also common. They’re more like bladed staffs than anything else.

Making sure things have/had been paid appropriately by both sides is still important.

Yes

I am a sci fi reader but maybe my scientist side showing but I like the Trappist name. The fact that real scientific names are sometimes “stupid” or weird I think makes out easier.

I mean like Southern blots had a name behind them, Edward Southern. Northern and Western blots were just named as a sort of joke about it. Naming doesn’t have to be serious and rarely is by those within the community. So many congressional bills have long obtuse names because someone chose an word or phrase for it and then made the title acronyms spell it.

All the poxes, consumption, measles, etc are all standard vaccinations in any decent country.
