No, I did not notice part of my chocolate bar looks vaguely like part of the coast of part of a continent I’ve never been too. I’m sorry. I’m clearly the asshole here

Good choc though

Thank you. I was going to point out there’s no way we can prove Diplodocus does NOT cause gonorrhea

“Yale Colon” seems like something you get first year by eating in Connecticut

True, but catering to people who make poor life choices also isn’t sustainable. Living in a rural area and having many kids are both choices. I few people should be able to make those choices, and should also be responsible for paying for them

Actually I understand it just fine. My city alone has a $4.4B road maintenance backlog, and it’s not that big of a city

It’s cheap”er” to maintain roads. It is not cheap. Use Google next time

Rural people, and I get it: I grew up in rural Montana. But America doesn’t run on people like my grandpa driving 6A worth of corn to the grange any more. People like my grandma driving literally 7mi each way to the nearest grocery store isn’t sustain long term

Yeah, I’d love to live in my own mansion on an island and fly my private jet to work. But that’s not realistic if everyone waaaaaaaants to do it

Last I checked, cannabis was still DEA Schedule 1 fully illegal, despite a majority of Americans wanting it.

See also: abortion, campaign finance reform, ranked choice voting, and so on.

American policy isn’t decided by the people, it’s decided by the people in power, and the people in power make money by keeping us tied to inefficient transportation

A majority of heroin users want heroin too. Roads exist because people want to go places; they preceded cars by a couple thousand years

“But i really waaaaaaaant it” isn’t grounds for policy making

Similarly, I struggle to understand why people think paying for roads to connect houses 5 miles away from each other isn’t astronomically expensive

He knows, and he does. You’re just too busy talking about yourself to consider he might be a person too
