more than any specific project the meme may be referencing, it's pointing out the difference between scientific acceptance and derision, which has changed more drastically in the last 10 years than in the last 20.

I just watched treasure planet like 3 days ago, so...cool.

in less than a decade

oboy.

how?

that must be terrifying.

One of those people who don't put up with your garbage?

Yes, I'm one of those.

goodbye.

there's no pivot here, I'm directly addressing your specific problem with the availability of free and critical services, which are separate from the option to donate to the organization offering free and critical services if you are willing and able.

this thread is about a petition influencing Congressional action to impeach Donald Trump, a critical and free service that you can participate in.

libraries similarly offer a critical and free service that you can participate in.

neither of them require your money, but both of them accept donations.

you are arguing that nobody should participate in political action, and by extension borrow books from libraries, because those organizations accept donations.

that is weird.

you seem to be angry at libraries for offering a free, positive and critical social service that you don't have to pay for, while also accepting donations if you have the ability and inclination.

that is a weird focus.

you can be part of important political action here without paying the committee that is going through the trouble of organizing and campaigning this political action.

The political action itself is free for you to participate in, while political organizations in general, a separate issue, accept donations if you have the money and inclination.

All political campaigns have costs and pay their employees.

you are under no obligation to pay in order to sign a petition and take political action against an absolutely terrible person.

"If ActBlue did anything worthwhile at all with the money they are donated, then we wouldn't be here responding in this thread right now, right?"

absolutely incorrect, foundationally and fundamentally.

you are arguing that the Allies shouldn't resist the axis because if the Allies are worth anything than the axis would never have come to power, which is not correct. of course they should fight an authoritarian regime executing civilians and trying to take over Europe.

yeah, you don't need anywhere near that many signatures for Congress to take action.

but with rump being such an actively terrible president, it's not surprising they got so many signatures in only a few weeks.

not to sign the petition.

it's a legitimate petition that you don't have to pay anything to sign.

haha, I wondered how they made the mistake,, but then I met these guys and they were so consistently impaired on one substance or another that it's amazing they posted the ad to Craigslist at all.

sure

yup

I was looking for a video game controller and a school in China accidentally posted their ad for an english teacher in the for sale video game section of craigslist.

I responded to the ad and told them I could teach English, and they invited me to China, where I taught for many years.

very good point, thanks for reminding everyone.

"tiny cracks" is an incorrect objective statement.

Nationwide movements, billions of dollars and presidential policy halts are objectively not "tiny cracks".

"tiny cracks compared to the size of....", is an example of a relative statement, which was not said in the original comment.

they later changed what they said, trying to change their original, incorrect statement.

doesn't work for them when they have a public comment history, of course.

Yes, I do, that's why I answered this post helpfully and correctly and you keep offering misinformation and insults.
