I limit my driving, try to limit my plastic consumption, and try to push our household into energy-saving appliances. We plant native plants, and do a ton of research when voting, and encourage others to vote.
At the end of the day, most stuff is going to be best directed from the top-down, such as switching from methane "natural gas" to renewable baseload power, like advanced nuclear, geothermal, hydro, etc. or preserving democracy so we can make these decisions instead of the red menace currently in charge.
Getting people to vote for democracy and climate policy has an outsized impact over my personal choices and habits, regardless of how good or bad they are.
Both of you are right and wrong, it's not so black and white.
You absolutely can make friends, chat with people at the bus stop, strike up convos at bars, the local ski resort, bike park, etc. Friendships can naturally blossom into relationships (or remain friendships, which is healthy and natural too).
You can't approach people and immediately ask them out, it feels weird and unappreciated (and that goes both ways, I've had a complete 180° role reversal and it was still weird and gross).
You're young, you have plenty of time, and honestly the weirdest thing about all this is that your parents are worried you're gay, like there's something wrong with that. There's barely any differences between genders, people overhyped the shit out of it in church, tbh.
Anyways, any% dating really doesn't work, and I feel like your parents should know that. Don't even try for dating, everyone can sense desperation. Just dgaf and focus on having fun and making friends. Love will naturally evolve out of good friendships.
Other countries need to hammer republican states with tariffs and boycotts. Since they control the government, it's the only way they will relent on economic sanctions and ICE nonsense.
Or...
The West Coast needs to form its own trading bloc and reform ICE, as the former rules don't seem to apply to anything anymore. We'll continue to uphold traditional American values from 1776-2015, values held before all of this New Right horseshit.
I've really been enjoying chia seeds recently. They are great in smoothies. Spinach too, it's essentially undetectable so you can just add a handful of either. Works great in any type of smoothie, and feels like "dessert" even when it's just fruits and veggies and seeds. Plus, you can freeze (or buy) frozen produce, or freeze what you can't eat, so it keeps for ages.
A lot of innocent people would die, but there could also be some big Ws if you know who and crew all kicked the bucket by dying due to the virus or ODing on bleach and ivermectin early, rather than after four years. Thumbing our noses at mother nature by slashing health departments and the WHO contributions are just asking for trouble.
