  • Sadly it wasn’t exactly wholly undemocratic. It wasn’t even what you could call close. There were attempts voter suppression and intimidation, but in the end voter apathy won out. I don’t think there’s anything dumber than choosing not to vote in such an important election, but that choice in itself was a vote.

    I feel like the quote has gone over your head just a tad. The joke/quote is saying as time progresses people will continue to vote against their own best interest and eventually elect someone as moronic as the common people. And well here we are. It’s been a long time in coming yes, we’ve gone through a number of presidents who progressively did less and less in the interests of the people till we got here and elected the absolute worst person with only self interest at heart.















  • Lmao damn dude. I mean you’re not wrong.

    You spend 2 months within spitting distance of each other with nothing but some thin cloth for walls and everyone either knows or is in everyone’s business. It’s sorta like being forever in high school. There’s gonna be drama.




  • AI aside, this is kind of a dumb argument to make. And yes I get it’s a meme, but the point it making is still stupid.

    Plants can have value other than just as a food source. There’s nothing wrong with cultivating decorative flowers, shrubs, or trees. By this argument everyone should have a small garden or farm yard else they’re wasting time/resources, ignoring that garden/farm plants may require more time and resources to raise and care for.

    Lawns do serve a purpose other than just looking nice as well. In many areas if you don’t have a lawn, you’ve got a dust and dirt flying everywhere when the wind picks up.

    Either way, the argument should be more in favor of native plants and wildflowers if it was to make a better point. Not to say there aren’t also native grasses out there.
