That dry dressing just looks like a casserole or mac and cheese topping

You’re not optimistic about the next election after seeing the last one?

Nah, it’s fat. That’s why polar animals have blubber

It’s probably for the best he didn’t get the spot on the Cerritos he asked for

But that’s changing for the better?

Beet Juice? Do they remove the color or will everything be stained purple forever?

Is “Try to make the world a better place” really so high a bar?

My recommendation is to pick one problem and focus on it. Don’t feel like you need to fix everything in the world, just make a small part of the world better. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, clean up litter, canvas for a ballot measure you care about. Doing nothing while agonizing over how much is to be done helps nobody.

So instead do nothing and circlejerk how miserable you are?

And at no point did I advocate for doing something trivial. I said pick one thing that’s important to you and put your effort into that. Do you think poor people deserve homes? Volunteer your time on weekends to build them through organizations like Habitat for Humanity. Do you think that’s just a bandaid over a societal wound? Find a group of like-minded people and try to fix that deeper wound.

I use a VPN because otherwise Warner Bros tells Comcast to send me threatening letters

“The love of her life”

Ron Weasley? Are you sure?

Why shouldn’t I? I stand by my original point and you’ve done nothing to rebut it

How convenient

See, that’s what I mean. You treat The Revolution as an inevitability, then twist yourself into knots to justify why it hasn’t happened yet.

Me:

In my opinion, Marx wrote his conclusion first, then cherry picked the points in history that supported his conclusion.

You:

I can’t fathom the arrogance of people who say “Marx just didn’t think of x, y or z”

Please, enlighten me how I said that

They do fly to perches at night, though

Then in the morning they fall out of the tree

I think I meant to reply to the OP, sorry. Your comment is great, and I like it much more.

That’s a nice thought, but what comes across is “Your current problems aren’t important, now support my fringe political view”
