  • Even in cities cars are the best way to get around in many American cities. This is because we built (bulldozed) our cities to be that way and neglect transit. Also, most people currently live in cities 🤓

  • He wouldn't say it for them, but for his main voter base: Conservatives, the alt-right, and anyone sympathetic to either.

  • Vox, ig. Their videos are the video essay equivalent of a forgettable action flick.

  • Trump =/= Republican Party Independent =/= centrist (or whatever you mean by "someone that has a so-so opinion of trump" and most centrists I know dislike him. idk the statistics of independent support of Trump, but I would guess that it is very low)

    Independents exist, as independents are just voters with no allegiance to one particular party. (Sometimes third-parties are included) This includes centrists, libertarians, and any one else who doesn't associate with a party. Just because you have been polarized doesn't mean everyone has.

  • Oh, we don't walk. We drive everywhere, even if our destination is in the same neighborhood.

  • Arguments aren't about winning. You will almost never convince someone your arguing with. Treat it more like a chance to better understand and strengthen your beliefs through putting them up to criticism and an opportunity to learn about a view you disagree with. I've found I have gained much more from arguments doing this. You can find flaws in your argument faster than doing it yourself, and you can fully understand the opposite opinion, it's line of logic, assumptions, and where it comes from, to truly understand why it is wrong. And you never know, that seed of doubt planted by a good argument could eventually change your or your opponents mind.

    This is why online arguments suck. The other person often won't use critical thinking and just spout the same points regurgitated from their own little world, along with some logical fallacies to spice it up.

  • I was put under for wisdom tooth removal (wasn't complicated, but small military clinic things differently than civilian hospitals)

    I remember seeing the iv go in the waking up to being told to breath. (Side-effect of the anesthesia, not scary in the moment, but you do need to consciously breathe). I regained memory right away. I got up after I was cleared, about 20 minutes. My legs were a bit noodly. I walked out to the car and talked with my dad all the way back.

    Your might be different because I'm am young and quite healthy. But my advice is to try not to panic. It makes it easier for everyone involved, and if you die to some freak accident, you die in peace :)
