Lol, fair enough. I will say, though, there's a divide amongst small town republicans. They pick and choose things from Trump, but for some, it's teetering to think of him as a dictator. I can't say the percentage because unlike their passive racism, they keep those statements to only close friends or people they know will agree.
I never thought about it that way. Great take. If empathy is tied to percentage of wealth donated then surely the middle or middle upper is the winner, but in terms of what one wishes to give, I find it hard to believe from my experience with extremely impoverished people that they wouldn't give more if they could.
I'll never forget a guy in Chicago that while we were checking out a pizza place he walked up, obviously struggling, but was highly recommending the place and gave me a free slice because he was full after his first one. I didn't want to take it but eventually did because it seemed important to him. I think about him often.
That's funny, I see a lot of good faith answers here, but keep pretending you're a victim every time your identity as a class traitor is called into question. Your answer is, "Don't ask that question here. I also have no fucks to give to answer as the only enlightened person here." so who's more bad faith amongst us again?
This is not true at all. Poor people are incredibly empathetic and forgiving. The middle class is a mixed bag but mostly just want to understand why and how to avoid it in the future. Rich people are a mixed bag, too, but most of the biggest assholes are rich.
This is from experience as a banker for many years. Whenever I had bad news (fees for example) for a poor person, they just looked sad. Whenever I had bad news for a rich person 1/3 of the time, they'd want me fired for being the messenger, 1/3 they disappear to talk to a higher up, and 1/3 they grumble and accept it. There are exceptions in every gro. Some rich folks were super nice, some middle class people were nightmares, but there was never a poor person who took it out entirely on the low tier employees.
I think there's solidarity that the decision comes from others and it's out of our hands. This may also be because I never told them bad news without advocating for them behind the scenes and understanding the whole sequence of events first. Probably over half the time I got the fees revoked since it was an accident or bad timing on something the bank did. Since we were a small bank, I had more power than big banks would allow.
In illinois, there was a head count of 400 in a town of 800, so maybe.
If pressure from your fingers doesn't fix it, a lighter won't either. You'll need a heat gun to remove the screen to fix it anyways, so you'll find out what heat does to the edges (where these faults occur) regardless.
They did. Lol guys I think cops suck too, I just don't think this is the example to really highlight it.
When you devote 30 minutes to a detailed answer about something you're passionate about and refresh to find "permanently deleted"
To be fair, he shot at them. I don't know if we can immediately blame the cops for this one.
"This is hurting your cause." Says man who wants your cause to fail.
All it takes is Google search to see they do not have exactly the same rights, and you are entirely unconvincing of your opposition to genocide when you deny apartheid. Iran's actions being worse than Israeli actions immediately harkens back to my original point, which is that I've never talked to a progenocider that didn't think history began at the last time they remember a Muslim doing something bad. Answering bad faith with good faith is a gift, you're welcome.
Occasionally, on my daily walks, I see squirrels who aren't scared of humans and can catch detailed photos of them with only a smartphone. This one popped up from a dumpster to the ledge and seemed much more interested in eating than running.
I used to wonder, but after how many people I saw talking about the Epstein files and Trump after Elon brought them up as if this is a new accusation, I no longer think they have vision or hearing outside of their safe spaces.
Connecting this back to the rural republican divide: They seem to have come to the conclusion that Trump wants to be a dictator entirely by listening to him and other Republicans.
