You are sincerely advocating for teaching how to read a physical map? When will you ever need that ever, without a Zombie apocalypse?

I strongly advocate it, it's a basic skill. Like simple math, reading and writing, being able to balance a budget, cooking, etc, being able to read a map is a necessary basic skill.

Maps aren't obsolete. GPS literally works off of the existence maps. Trying to claim maps are obsolete is like saying that cooking food at home is obsolete because you can order delivery.

there’s no doubt she’s far better than any of the imperialist genociding psychopaths both sides of your uniparty regime endorse.

Oh anyone who actually thinks that would be sorely disappointed. She has direct ties to Putin, and Michael Flynn. Jill has also refused to call Putin a war criminal.

Until such a time as we can roll back those state election laws that the GOP and the Dems got put in that make it difficult for 3rd parties to run, we're going to be stuck with the 2 party system.

But Jill Stein, she's just a bit too sus for me, and I'm guessing for a lot of others, since she barely gets any traction each election she's involved in.

Because the system is rigged against 3rd Parties, the Dems and the GOP have worked hard over the decades to make it all but impossible for 3rd Parties to get on ballots. For example, it can vary from state to state the amount, but 3rd party candidates need to get thousands of signatures in each of the counties they want to have their name on the ballot in. Meanwhile the Dems and GOP have gotten state laws passed that automatically put Dem and GOP candidates on the ballots like an reward for voter involvement in the previous election.

Getting on the ballots at all for 3rd parties costs a lot of money and time to do. It's generally why you only really see 3rd parties pop up for the presidential election, which just sort of becomes a joke because it's usually a nutter like Jill Stein.

They did declare themselves that at one of the CPACs, so only seems fair to make it official.

I agree it is a tool, and they should be taught how to use it properly, but I disagree that is like a pen or a ruler. It's more like a GPS or Roomba. Yes, they are tools that can make your life easier, but it's better to learn how to read a map and operate a vacuum or a broom than to be taught to rely on the tool doing the hard work for you.

Fox News would suddenly push how awesome and Alpha pegging is?

I do not need it, and I hate how it's constantly forced upon me.

Current AI feels like the Metaverse. There's no demand for it or need for it, yet they're trying their damndest to shove it into anything and everything like it's a new miracle answer to every problem that doesn't exist yet.

And all I see it doing is making things worse. People use it to write essays in school; that just makes them dumber because they don't have to show they understand the topic they're writing. And considering AI doesn't exactly have a flawless record when it comes to accuracy, relying on it for anything is just not a good idea currently.

Taxes are so hard because Tax Return Companies spend a lot of money to lobby the government to make it harder. The IRS could do it all in-house for "free" but there's too much money in making us go through 3rd parties to file our taxes. Private business always finds a way to add more inefficiency to processes to make us pay more so they can nickel and dime us. "Want that efficient service? Well, you got to pay more." It's a scam.

There is a lot of stuff, sure, that could be automated in software, but that's mostly admin work, like processing invoices and things like that. But then, no one ever wants to spend money on things. For instance, I work for a state DOT. It's a battle to get the state legislature to properly fund maintenance. They'd rather spend their money on new shiny things they can show off to get elected.

The real inefficiency in government is almost always directly related to the elected official's decisions. Take graffiti, they don't want to spend money, and we don't have the budget to keep up with graffiti and provide road maintenance. But then a big sports event or famous band comes to town for a huge event, and next thing you know graffiti is our number one priority.

Which is good, and I say that as an American. The current leadership cannot be trusted. It's going to be a long time before we can be trusted again. If ever.

So, Suppressed News has in fact, been suppressed....

And Elonia can't even get rockets to not explode.

Hates to predict things? This Turd Ball constantly predicts every stupid thing he does is going to be a win, like tariffs making us all super rich.

These Doggy stooges are sooooo freaking annoying.

So who wants to help me Digg the grave for Reddit? /s

Sort of sad to see another online home fall but nothing lasts forever.

Blame Murica!

Time's have changed And Trump is getting worse He won't obey the judges He just wants to shart and curse

Should we blame the immigrants? Or blame society? Or should we blame the Billionaires like Thiel?

No! blame Murica, blame Murica With all their MAGA conspiracies And flippin'hats made overseas

Blame Murica, blame Murica We need to form a full boycott It's Murica's fault.

Reddit is clearly the Bad Place.

This is the price of being a politician and being a complete P.O.S. one at that.

They should have stuck with the "they're weird". And they definitely shouldn't have tried courting Republican voters. All that yielded was pushing away Dem voters and Republican voters aren't going to vote for Dems, they will just not show up for Trump. They shouldn't have constantly called them a danger and threat because we've been saying that for years, and at some point people stop listening. Instead, they should have leaned into the "they're weird" and the weird things they want to do. Making them sound like an existential threat, even if they are, just sounds like someone yelling the sky is falling, and people ignore it. But we've already seen how they can't handle being mocked. So mock them. Belittle them, make them out to be the buffoons they are.

Was it really a children's book or did he write a book for adults, but it was just so damn stupid everyone assumed it was a children's book, and never bothered to clarify with him?

What are you talking about? Clearly all of those people were hanging out with me all night. They're completely innocent. My hand to god.
