      here's a topic , those who think the 2020 elections was legitimate and those who sincerely questing the results for a variety of reasons. I would actually go on the show since not only have I been working on VA elections and the various complications that we have discovered with lack of legislative transparency in the way we vote in VA. I've done extremely extensive research on this subject these last 3 years.

      The point I was making is, if EVERYONE is a CEO then who would be the cashiers? Why be a cashier when you can just be a CEO like everyone else? I'm not saying cashiers need to be able to afford to buy a mansion and a Rolls-Royce, but they should be able to afford to rent an apartment and geed their family and not have to decide whether they eat or medications.

    javen’s one extreme to another is actually a bit worrying to me. he seems very brainwashed & lacking his own identity and opinion, whereas the others all held a stronger grasp on their own opinions and identity, changing some, yet keeping others, and such.
    for example, strongly empathising with the lgbt community and being an ally turning to a strong hatred where you view the lgbt (or alphabet as he said) as perverted.
    it’s very concerning how much he seems to lack a genuine grasp of his own identities and opinions and seems to be so stuck into his current ideologies to the point he says he will never, and he emphasises that again, go back to any former opinions. i hope he can get a proper grasp on himself as an individual and form his own opinions and such.

But now there’s a list of a bagillion pronouns and I thought it was all a recent phenomenon. Are you saying they werent recently created? Her point was pronouns are basically descriptive so she choose “pronouns” that describe her (she choose adjectives). If you are creating pronouns and they can be whatever you want, why can’t you even use adjectives? Rationalizing one and not accepting the other seems rather absurd.

Humans are designed to thrive through interdependence and love. There is too much oppressive inequality and unfair, unsustainable power dynamics and hardship in the world for it to be as simple as "pick yourself up by your bootstraps."

      @@saramysko1022 And you are the definition of the Dunning-Kruger effect. None of us here needed you to copy and paste the definition of a metaphor, sweetie. Zelda is correct. A metaphor only works if the premises are 1:1. The bootstrap metaphor is using a physical scenario in order to illustrate an abstract concept. However, the scenario isn't possible according to the laws of physics and therefore, the metaphor doesn't make any sense because you cannot equate it to the situation abstractly. If, physically, it were possible to pick yourself up by your bootstraps, the metaphor would hold water. I know you're a little lacking in brain cells, so please just do a little more reading on parts of speech. Abstract thinking is clearly not your strength.

      You see more of this when both sides hold their bad players to account for their actions rather than making excuses for them.
      Either side if someone is so indoctrinated they can't handle an opposing opinion then it's them as an individual who have a problem they need to deal with and while their side back them up for simply "voting the same way" it leads to zero productive discussion and nothing gets done as a result. Both sides need to learn to compromise as both sides get a lot of things wrong.
