I mean, we at least said we were against it. Slavery, the trail of tears, the Chinese exclusion act, and internment camps, as well as meddling in other countries’ elections, drone strikes, and border camps aren’t exactly pro-democracy, let alone gerrymandering and voter suppression that have been prevalent in poor and minority communities since they were first allowed to vote. I wish we’d been democratic from the start, but I think MAGAers are just continuing an American pastime.

I hate accidentally ending up as mayor on vacation

What???

They jailed 1% of the population and devastated an entire generation at the very least, often for nothing more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time

Here you go

That’s something everyone can eat and doesn’t contain anything that kids especially are allergic to in large numbers, great idea.

Even she got more votes than trump, and that’s saying something.

In an earlier round

Huh. I’ve just scatted every time, lol.

True, but the grift that is a thrice-divorced philanderer who made his fame in business in casinos selling commemorative bibles is a real paragon of it.

I mean, they do… just not ones that are laid.

I mostly use it in the shower, so that might be true.

Okay, but it is really tough to go from acquaintance to friend, so I can see complaining about it.

At the same time though, I think most people have had the experience of someone trying to be closer than you want to be as friends, so it’s probably easier to have empathy, which I think is the biggest problem with incels.

Thank you!

This is great. Do you know what the original picture is called?

That’s the only one I ever remember except for temperature

Vomiting feels way better than needing to and not being able to though

They are acting like they found cannabinoids in, like, a grass or something

I don’t get people who smoke grass without cannabinoids.

(I’m sorry)

I like bananas

That’s how we get morlocks, though

Honestly, everyone just being a little gracious is all you really need.

I’m vegan and I have no issues going to a normal bbq place for someone else’s party(though I don’t know what this place would be like). I can eat corn and undressed salad for a meal, I’ll survive. If the party were for me, I’d probably feel like it was passive aggression or a weird test though.

Similarly, there will be non-vegan food when I introduce my husband to my family and celebrate our wedding in my home country with a potluck, because one of my sisters has celiac’s and the other IBS, which restricts her fiber intake. I would have been totally cool with exclusively mashed potatoes (skin off) for dinner and sorbet for dessert, but I don’t think many others would be, and there’s not much else that works for all of us.

Sure, I could tell them not to bring non-vegan food, but that’s not very gracious, and I want people to be comfortable. They’d probably agree and either eat ahead of time or leave earlier and eat on the way home, so it’s not like there’s a practical difference in meat consumption, and it’s a great way to make people feel less welcome.

You went to a lot of effort here to present that very clearly, and I salute you. I’d like to think others here are just blinded by their own ideals, and that’s why nobody is answering, not because they were just arguing for a side they didn’t believe in and don’t have response to that.
