You are kind of proving their point here. You are trying to reason with them, but in your mind they are not being reasonable, so you are disengaging because you don’t see how further engagement can be useful. Instead, you just call them the bad one.
This is exactly the process you are arguing against. People are not being reasonable, so you can’t expect reason to be convincing.
Not all of them anymore. Some control panel icons just throw you into the new settings app.

So why did the get rid of Wordpad?
Yes, a better candidate would be ideal, and that should absolutely be pushed for in the primaries. What is your plan to help that?
But everyone’s idea of an ideal candidate is different. If the Democrats don’t field a candidate you like in the general, what will you do? Will you withhold your vote, and in so doing help the party that is actively damaging the country win? What is your plan?
We can sit here all day and complain about this side or that side and how the Democrats are failing, but in the end that means NOTHING without a plan to DO something about it.
What is it your are going to DO?
That was a lot of valid complaining about the Democrats, but not one word that can be converted into an actionable plan.
That depend entirely on what that “something else” is. So far, all I’ve heard is either “don’t vote unless the candidate is ‘left enough’,” a vague and counter-productive inaction; or various calls to “tear down the system” with no indication of a plan how or what to replace it with.
I’m not saying the Democrats are faultless, but empowering the people that are proactively causing harm doesn’t help.
Then you will need to be aware that by not voting for the more left candidate, we will have a far right government for a couple of cycles at least. This will cost lives and further entrench them into power. It is why we have what we have right now. It will also drive left leaning candidates further right because they are going to cater to the people who actually vote. A far left candidate winning is still possible eventually, but it would require a major turnout at the primaries and a lot more damage is going to be done to a lot of innocent people in the mean time. Is this a cost you are willing to pay?
No part of my statement said there were only two choices. It was in regard to all choices.
But in the context of this thread, the general election will only ever present two choices. (So vote in the primaries.)
Naivete at it’s finest. Reality is that the choices available to you will never conform to all of your desires, so in that sense, a choice is always going to be for the lesser evil. If you think there’s an action you can take to avoid making a choice at all, then reality will disabuse you of that notion as well.
That is a very embarrassed cat, and it looks like it just wants to slink away and hide.
In theory, vacation time is supposed to be something you negotiate as part of your employment contract. Conservatives believe that market forces will balance out the needs of the worker and the company, as companies with bad employment practices will have trouble finding employees.
In practice, that only works for high-demand positions with a small labor pool. Basically everyone else has no negotiating power because employers have a huge pool to pick from. Conservatives say employees can just go somewhere else to get a better job or go back to school (another topic), but that also doesn’t work in when all the available jobs do the same thing.
Basically, it’s an extension of rugged individualism. It’s up to the individual to take care of themselves. The fact that the landscape in which most people must operate doesn’t allow for it is ignored.
So a person should take the entire course of antibiotics that are prescribed to them. I guess I’m confused about why you said to the person who said you should take your entire course of antibiotics and not stop because of feelings is making false assumptions.
Okay, so how does the average, non-medically-trained person know when the best time to stop is?
Get fancy and use Vicks
Just to let you know, that’s a false rumor spread by fear mongers.
Shame on you for wanting to have fun in a meme post! Shame, I say!
But can you measure something that doesn’t exist? Can the absence of something be something in and of itself? Is it the hole you are measuring, or the object around the hole?
No artist gets paid to create placeholder art during development. They get paid for the final art pieces that are used in the game itself. No actual AI art was used in the final game except for a few accidentally included bits that were not correctly replaced with the final art and that issue was corrected. No artists were harmed in the making of this game.
WHOSE property matters. Jesus busted up the property of the people causing the problem. Too often I see this as justification for burning cars in the street.
