You should check out some ideologies. You probably realize, but there’s way more than red vs blue. You kind of sound like an anarchist. You don’t necessarily have to give yourself a strict label, but it’s a good idea to see what they’re about. That’s why I say political leanings, because it’s possible to find ideas you latch onto that don’t all fit neatly into one camp. Or don’t and just continue to do the actions you feel led to.

And thank you for being receptive

You’re contradicting yourself my dude. You give enough of a fuck to help people. Doing things for your community is a political action. Maybe you just haven’t gotten the chance to understand your political leanings

Ah so you’ve fallen for the propaganda that says you don’t have the power to change anything, that’s just what the small number of elites want the large number of masses to think

Critical thinking is a skill that requires teaching and practice. If children are not given that preparation they won’t have that skill in adulthood. That’s why authoritarian governments care so much about controlling and/or limiting access to proper education.

Pretty common for American pop culture to adopt trends and slang from the black community without giving them credit

Funny and sad

Space and time are not the same thing, they are facets of spacetime. We are only able to traverse space because we can properly perceive it, we do not have the ability to traverse time. I obviously understand the movie is fiction, it’s still a decent attempt at showing what it might be like to be able to truly perceive and traverse time. Our way to understand it (as depicted in Arrival) is the ability to actually see and experience the past and the future. You and I and no being we know about has the ability to see anything except the present.

As an example, the screen you are reading this on presents a 2d image. It does not have the ability to produce a 3d image (though we can make illusions that seem like it sometimes). That screen is constantly moving through 3d space (on spaceship Earth), but you still wouldn’t say that it’s presenting a 3d image because it doesn’t have the ability to directly interact with that space. Just like how we are moving through time but don’t have the ability to directly interact with that spacetime.

No we don’t, we perceive the present. We perceive length width and height, and have the ability to traverse that space. We don’t have currently have the ability to experience anything other than the current moment. Have you seen the movie Arrival? That’s an attempt to show what truly perceiving time would be like.

Time is the fourth dimension, humans do not have the ability to perceive time, we only experience the passage of time

A game of chess, even in the 3d world, takes part on a 2d plane

That’s just called eugenics

It’s pretty funny that most of the time we have to wait years, often not until the next term, to feel the economic impact of a president, but Trump knows how to make shit happen immediately

Not dividing the left, just consolidating the right

It’s already there, blue is the women

Can we see the gender spread on this?

I would like to do that, but my comments on negative topics definitely produce more discussion. Just like everywhere else, negative is easier than positive.

I used to feel more suicidal. Nowadays I think if I was feeling like I truly wanted to do that, I would want to take an oligarch with me

Initially I was in the “shut up, there’s multiple instances that the news could be posted to” crowd, but then I noticed that it’s been posted to !world@lemmy.world like 20 times and I wanted to come back and apologize. Guys, please check the comm before posting the article.

You’re not wrong but also the only reason this is a real problem is because of American tipping culture

Honestly this is a great joke but also could legitimately be a good service for someone who didn’t feel safe walking alone, or needs help navigating
