What is it that causes this behavior from people around us? I think we have all experienced this before, which means that people are probably predisposed to want your attention when it’s elsewhere, but not care about your attention if it’s nowhere.
Not the same bed width or volume though. Not the same comfort level in the cab or crew capacity. Definitely not the same towing capacity. It’s silly to buy the bigger truck just to drive around town, but there are plenty of legitimate reasons to get one.
I would say that they’re worse than local hardware stores. Not only is it really difficult to get help in a Home Depot, but they rarely have any even remotely specialized. Lets say you need a specialized gasket to fix your bidet. Home Depot probably doesn’t have it, and if they do, they’ll make you search for it for an hour, and then make you buy 12 of them for $10. The local hardware store will have a little white haired dude who knows exactly what you need, exactly where it is, will explain how to prevent it from going bad again, and will sell you one gasket for 37 cents.
He was presented with a new viewpoint on gender. He said “no thanks” to considering that viewpoint, which is honestly fine (we’re allowed to have different opinions).
I agree that we should be allowed to have different opinions, but I don’t agree that it’s considered fine by mainstream liberalism today. I have seen an awful lot of toe the line or get up against the wall behavior from the left over the last few years. Again and again the reaction has been “agree with literally everything we say, or be outcast as a bigot”. I have seen it even among my close personal circles when debating radically new ideas that people should be given time to consider, opportunities to discuss, and time to research. That is an incredibly disappointing attitude from a group with a stated goal of inclusion and tolerance. Tolerance for popular non-normative ideals, but disdain for any conflicting discourse seems to be the group mantra. I say this as someone who is mostly aligned with progressive movements.
It’s very amazing to me that we have better tablets today than they had on TNG, yet we’re further from space exploration today than we were when TNG was being made.
