Literally 90% of americans think this, so im not sure thats true. It seems exceedingly obvious to me and you, but the constant lifelong propaganda and intentionally removing opportunities for people to realize and express this, im not sure its fair to say theyre willfully ignorant

I mean misattributing wouldnt be acting in bad faith, firstly. Secondly, they come into a community to disparage them for doing something thats explicitly not allowed (bc it would get the instance taken down if nothing else) and is extremely nebulous about what they mean. And you phrase it as "showing concern." Very cool, very fair take from you

I dont have a porch or any wildlife to look out at but i do give myself 40minutes every morning to chill and drink coffee, usually watching youtube or playing a little bit of a game and its MUCH nicer than just getting up and immediately getting ready for work and heading out

We havent had a fair election in my entire life. Bush straight up stole the election from Gore, and even if theres none of that extreme blatant stealing, everything is rigged so hard in favor of republicans, from voting booth locations, to gerrymandering, to right wing thugs being intimidating, etc etc.

If they have you and are taking your id, youre already in their custody, i imagine this helps (somewhat) in a couple ways: proving youre a citizen, not being lost in the system "accidentally," things like that. Plus, if youre incapacitated for some reason like the other poster said. I cant really think of any downside. Youre not getting out without proving who you are, and the more you make that a pain for them the more theyre likely to take it out on you.

Dont worry, they will hire back people at much lower salaries than those they fired

So coy about everything. Name examples and where theyre from, because both matter greatly. The first one could be talking about the rapist blizzard execs. I don't believe in the death penalty for multiple reasons, but im not shedding a tear over them. And the politician could be so many people including trump and gee i wonder why people would say such a thing about him and his ilk.

Youre either making things up to feel superior, misattributing them to blahaj, or just a plain bad actor with either the goal of protecting pedophiles or protecting tessersct. Could be any of those truly

Why does everyone think every game has to be made for the lowest common denominator? If you don't like a game, don't play it. Besides, souls games can actually be quite forgiving, the difficulty adjustments just isnt in sliders. Especially in elden ring, you can beat every fight in a pretty brainless (i mean like not needing to dodge almost at all) way if you take the time to set up for it.

Thats why we came

Yep, this was a big thing on lemmy for a bit and the fact it isnt used at all here anymore i think speaks to the general concensus on it

Everytime, and i mean EVERY SINGLE TIME, you have been told prices have increased because of shoplifting it has been a lie. Its propaganda and will continue to be propaganda. These companies will do anything they possibly can to siphon off as much as they can. Wage theft exceeds shoplifting.

Nobody said hes the reason. Hes a symptom
