My thing is this...

  1. Adding it requires effort
  2. Removing it, if possible, requires effort
  3. It's not a requirement
  4. There are other alternative methods to get it, like toothpaste, or sumpliments, that don't force your neighbors to have your fluoride.

Power users are just regular users with an ego.

GUI is like fast food, sure you can eat it and enjoy it, and you will live to see another day, but it's inferior in every way to everything else. The real problem is that people start acting like fast food is the default food and start looking at people who eat raw or cook their own food or pay for food at a restaurant as being full of themselves.

There are countless real advantages to CLI over GUI, but allowing people to use their computer effectively by fumbling around isn't one of them.

My point is that bad things shouldn't prevent someone from having kids. Nobody would be alive today if other people didn't have kids because bad things happen.

There was a time your dumb deseased mother pushed you out on a savana, maybe died in the process, and nobody on the earth gave a shit about you, and everything wanted to eat you from the ants, mosquitos, and flies, the larger predators. Everything was hostile and if you could manage not to die you still had to find a way to eat, drink, and shelter yourself from weather.

Millions of years of that, was just the beginning of how bad things could be.

Now we sit here, almost permanently sheltered, on the internet, where most peoples biggest problem is like, heart disease or rectal cancer.

Things have always been bad.

Nah, had Tulsi stayed with Democrats, and ran against Trump I would have voted for Tulsi. Instead, Tulsi joined Trump, and I voted for Trump. If Tulsi runs again, I'll vote for Tulsi.

Just watch this (again), there's Joe, Kamala, and Tulsi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4fjA0K2EeE

I appreciate your input, but I'm not confused. The post and the comments are something I'd expect to see on reddit, mostly pathetic. Not a whole lot of critical thinking, oversimplification of complex topics, drawing conclusions to dunk on the "poorly educated", nevermind the vast differences between the states that could better account for the results being associated in the meme.

Im don't mind the ๐Ÿ‘Ž I'm not here for a W by this crowd.

The term "poorly educated" not supposed to be interpreted as bad? The sad dog by Oklahoma not supposed to be interpreted as bad? The point of the stats are to show relative good bad based on some metrics, not to be interpreted as good or bad?

If I'm misunderstanding the post maybe others are as well, why don't you do us all a favor and explain it so that we can better understand.

Sure, it is known as gentrification.
