  • Is it bad that I’m surprised to see a conservative sub on this site?

    I’ve only been here a week but it has become extremely clear that this place is even further left than even reddit is.

    Anyway for this actual article and the topic at hand I don’t really see an issue with her being away when it started. It’s not like she knew it was gonna happen for sure that week or anything.

    I do hold her accountable for being woefully unprepared. Her an Newsome got some explaining to do. What happened to the billions we gave them to improve our water collection infrastructure? Cutting the fire department budget significantly? Putting people in charge that care more about hiring minorities than hiring qualified people?




  • Common sense/critical thinking 101.

    It is utterly baffling watching some people just bumble through life completely clueless.

    I have lost track of the number of adults who have no clue how do their taxes. They either have their parents do them or they pay someone to do them for themselves. I consider myself basically financially retarded, but I still learned the bare minimum to be able to do my own goddamn taxes.

    People don’t know the bare minimum about their vehicles and it ends up costing them thousands.

    People are oblivious to their surroundings and never prepared for anything even slightly.

    People just do things without a single thought towards the potential consequences of their actions.

    I always hated when teachers would pull that shit with the “can I use the bathroom”. I remember at some point in highschool when a teacher hit me with the “I don’t know can you use the restroom?” I just said “yup” and walked out.

    I was immediately sent to the principals office for leaving the classroom without permission.

    Get bent Mrs.Gilford. You were one of the worst teachers I ever had.

    I respect that. I also refuse to block people even I I really don’t like them. Only people who spam me or bots ever get blocked. I refuse to silence voices I disagree with because then I’m just bumbling through life completely unaware of an entire perspective which I find unhealthy. Doesn’t mean I have to agree with other people’s perspectives whatsoever but I am glad that I heard them.

    I totally see your point and I completely agree. There is no way for me to know how much each individual user on this site is posting about or interacting with “Trump bad” content. Just scrolling through the front page or whatever it’s called around here it really seems like it’s an obsession from multiple people. Somehow more posts about Trump than on that other site which had a comical left lean already. This site from my limited time here seems to be even farther left and almost entirely void of moderate or right leaning voices.

    So you can see how I might have gotten the impression that people around here really are obsessed around hating the guy (which I feel I must remind people I do completely understand to an extent).

    I saw a post from awhile back where someone asked if this site was a left wing echo chamber and if that was a good idea. The fact that any comment on that thread that was even remotely moderate was downvoted tells me that the grand majority on this site are far left and unwilling to even entertain a single thought that isn’t also far left. Which is very sad. Because that’s how you lose all perspective and fall into endless echo chambers.

    I don’t agree with many people around here but I am still very glad that I am able to have conversations with them and hear a perspective besides my own. I used to be further right on some topics, but after talking to people all along the political spectrum I found that I didn’t actually agree with my old stance anymore and I changed it.
