I’d imagine they were effectively banned, but not explicitly banned.

*7 hours (I just had this discussion with my partner, I thought ten as well)

Nah, they pay people to do it, like in Mexico

I believe they reach adulthood in their mid to late thirties. Merry and Pippin are technically in the equivalent of their late teens when they head off with Frodo in FotR

Water makes other water wet. If you have a single water molecule then it is not wet, as it has no other water to make it wet. Otherwise water, as a grouping of multiple adjacent molecules, makes itself wet.

Is this supposed to highlight that he’s white, highlight that there’s non-white admins who powertrip more, or be a play on using irrelevant data to muddy the waters of critical thought?

I just want to be sure what subtext you’re using.

Depends on the site, and the tools you use. I know, at least tangentially, there were tools for cross-posting between facebook, twitter, and whatever back when I volunteered with a convention. Surely there could be similar tools for non “tech giant” sites.

He said it like that, or is that embellishment for the sake of clickbait?

This kind of commentary is a cut above the rest.

Back in my day it was TL:DR! Get off my lawn!

Is it? Or is it pragmatic rather than pessimistic?

People dont just neatly fit into boxes, to be dismissed as having singular motivation that is all completely surface level. Every single person you meet and deal with will have a complex and unique history that defines them as a person, just like you. And just like you, they may dismiss you as just some simple-minded fool who does things for obvious reasons.

Have You ever wondered why they act that way? It may not just be as you assume, that they’re terrible people, but instead that all empathy and sense of community has been ground out of them by a system that punishes you for thinking of others.

If the victims (ourselves included, no matter your nationality) never do anything to fix their own situation, no one else is going to do it for them. There is no white knight coming for you, sitting on your ass and waiting for someone else to fix everything for you is how fascism takes hold.

*economic organization

But the idea is that, under capitalism you have to work in order to survive. Under a different system you work to benefit society, by your survival is otherwise assured.

Really depends on how it’s organized of course. Hard to say now since there is such a death grip on keeping capitalism for some reason.

*30%

Well since people keep not showing up, focusing on a single election, and voting (or not) based on their “principles” (re: ego), it’s not.

Considering alternatives require all those things (and usually more), I don’t see anything else working any better though.

You absolutely can. Its just you actually have to show up first, and not focus on a single election, and vote pragmatically instead of with “principle”.

Why would you ask that? Is something wrong? Should I be nervous? What should I be nervous about? I need answers people!

They have people take care of their needs. They dont need to worry about it.

Just watch out for the zombie mode.
