And remember, by “center” it’s really “even further right than last time”. We have the same problem in Canada and we literally have a third, progressive party that’s fully separate from the neo-liberal “centrist” party and we still fuck it up.
Conservatives should be voting for Democrats but human beings aren’t generally that smart so most of us participate in relativistic politics and it sucks.
Yea, after read the original story shown in the article there was certainly better writing. Like the moral that you shouldn’t back someone just because you think they must be smarter than to challenge a runner to a foot race while having nary a leg in sight. Oh, and I went right by, on purpose, the wise owl trope. But yes, it’s likely there as an answer for that reason.
The whole situation’s a mess. I often get in trouble, even at 30 years old, for “asking too many questions” or wanting more detail. Even in French class yesterday the teacher was asking us to form opinions on headlines and I was arguing because I cannot form an opinion based on a headline. I understand the exercise was a language one, but it still matters.
Without reading the article(and therefore knowing the desired answer):
No one actually explained why they ate the pineapple. I would say that they wouldn’t have eaten the pineapple due to their amusement, but “annoyed” can be inferred, “hungry” is possible since it’s been a few hours, and “they wanted to” is fine.
As for wisdom, I would argue that the owl(“the” implying that the owl is real, in my interpretation, because I want it to mean that) is the wisest for not having attended this foolish event which wasted everyone else’s time. The hare raced a fruit, the crow had a decent idea but was foolish to claim it so decisively, and the moose couldn’t understand the intention behind a common saying. Of course, the question is about who is the most wise, not about who is wise, so foregoing the owl idea it’s a whole other thing.
Just gotta read the article now and figure out if I’m supposed to be dumb for even trying or whatever lol
I just skip over that stuff. If they’re cute but otherwise just expect me, a person who can’t know anything about them, to show up and figure it out then I’m just going to move on. It’s annoying that it takes up space but I otherwise just ignore it. Same with anyone who has reduced themselves to a universally palatable version so as not to be too challenging.
Government crime as funded by the rich and greedy, to be more precise. The government isn’t simply working with the rich but was actively bought and paid for and is not executing the job they were paid to do.
Been trying Hinge and there’s lots of space and opportunity for it. What I’ve discovered/had validated is thay most people are just painfully cookie-cutter. Some are not, and it’s why I still use it.
That’s just classic branding at that point. If you listen to the conservatives and the media in Canada you’d swear the Liberal party was a super woke bunch of progressives but the majority of stuff they ever do that can be considered progressive is whatever the NDP was able to negotiate for during the coalition when the Liberals held a minority government. I don’t know much of French politics but I have the feeling thag their “left” is only such in that they aren’t explicitly a right-wing party and that there’s a further right option.
You literally said that progressives need to make real change by rallying behind unideal candidates who may be a little amoral. And you think it’s my fault for in-fighting because I want to focus on the more ideal and more moral options? Fucking please.
I can’t tell if I’m more insulted that you’re lying to my face or that you would actually think I’d believe you. God, you truly are a pathetic little weasel, aren’t you?
It’s also not just the US. In Canada we are constantly told that we must stop dreaming about electing our main progressive party and that we must rally around the increasingly conservative centrist party. Centrists demand sacrifice but refuse to ever give anything in return. They are cowardly obstacles, not serious people.
Our last election saw the NDP lose official party status because of a lack of votes, the Conservatives are still highly supported and will get in eventually when they’re even crazier, and the Liberals we elected are the most conservative they’ve even been down to letting private companies steal our natural resources with fewer consequences all while helping ones like Air Canada by trying to declare the flight attendant strike illegal. People said our prime minister being a banker would help us this economy but he shown that he would rather weaken the average citizen than help them.
At least right-wingers spew their hate with their whole chest. Centrists are just cowards, nothing more.
It’s always the progressives who need to rally behind the centrist, isn’t it? Never the other way around because you’re just a coward.
How about you grow even an inch of a spine and rally behind someone who wants to make real change? How about you stop spending you life on this planet being nothing more than a barrier? Get it together.
I really don’t give a damn whether you hate me or not, your opinion is worthless. You don’t know the first fucking thing about togetherness, just empty platitudes that make you comfortable so you don’t need to actually face anything difficult.
Mamdani handed the DNC a win and they fought him the whole way anyhow. Centrists as always act like there’s no alternative between centrism and conservatism even though it’s only and specifically because they systematically attack anyone who actually tries to make things truly better.
Hey, buddy? Shut the fuck up.
The US is in the mess because of worthless people like you who get angry at anyone who hopes for more. People say “hey can we not do better than complete garbage?” and you feel the need to tell them that they’re wrong. Gavin Newsom will not dig you out of the hole you’re in, nor will any other center-right corporate stooge.
I say this with my whole heart: I hate you.
“This is nothing, you can’t even trust this random limosine driver” - The people who latched onto the cats and dogs lie, and the people who told it, even after Vance explicitly said it was made up.
Oh yea, I’m fully on board with find literally anything else haha
I am NOT the guy to talk to about drugs but there have been toilets without their own tanks for a long time.
In this case it literally doesn’t even begin to matter for us because all we need is our voter registration paper that government mails to us. We can bring other stuff but that’s it.
This is fighting? Not holding an event? The bare minimum here is to host it and still invite everyone because that’s the entire point. Throwing the plan in the garbage and walking away isn’t fighting, especially when he’s getting his way pretty much everywhere and can just have his little Republican governors’ meeting whenever he wants otherwise.
Ya’ll need to redefine “fighting” because that’s the weakest shit I’ve ever seen.
It’s for online communities, group chats, and audio/video calls with streaming built-in. It’s really very good and incredibly easy to learn how to use, but recently it’s been pulling some increasingly concerning shit. Started simple and clean, then started adding shit for who knows why.
In this case it’s to please the anti-porn companies and places like the UK.
Except that they’re not putting anywhere near the amount of effort I’d hope they would need to influence people. Look at how awful Trump is, how openly disgusting he is, and yet them just saying “no that’s fake actually” is enough.
People like these awful things and they want to be “influenced” so they can pretend, amongst themselves mostly, that they were fooled.
Yup, and all because it’s what people say.
And then people go “you have to vote Liberal or the Conservatives will win!” and it’s like, ya’ll voted Liberal and conservatives did win! And not only that but in doing so they also further delayed the country by shooting our major progressive option in the foot!
I just wish people had a baseline intelligence that wasn’t so embarrassing.
