Honestly pretty crazy to me that 45% of legal Gen Z hasn’t had alcohol at all. That’s the craziest data in there for me if true. I guess covid really cut parties out for those prime peer pressure age groups. And it’s a cyclic effect as there’s less drinkers to peer pressure new drinkers.
I enjoy a drink(not wine) but the price and health are real kickers. I want a low abv good tasting beer and that’s hard to find as craft is still chasing the high abv super IPAs. I only have a drink with my weekly dnd and that’s kinda it anyway though.
I’m gen x and have never drank. In my 20’s people couldn’t believe this. But as I got older and hung out with people I relate to I found more and more that I wasn’t alone on this. From my personal experience and friend circles, most people go through their party phase and then alcohol loses it’s appeal.
I’ll take this guy over the Moms for Liberty and MAGA school board people that have been keeping our area in the news the last year or so. At least this guy is somewhat entertaining…
If she wins and she does this, I will open my own business. I’ve been on the fence for months about it, this is enough to pull it off. I look forward to a future with her as our President.
They can think it violates the Brazilian constitution all they like, my understanding is that the supreme court already weighed in on the issue and that’s the only opinion that matters in most countries.
You’ve never heard of biased, politically motivated supreme court justices? That’s… hard to believe. You should Google “Roe v Wade” and then check back. How can two different versions of a supreme court rule completely differently on the same issue if the underlying constitution hasn’t changed?
Read the relevant parts of their constitution, then check the supreme courts decision, and let me know how you think it makes sense.
Point isn’t whether it’s right or not. The point is that once the supreme court rules, there’s no “higher” court to take it to. The lower courts can’t rule differently on something explicitly ruled on already, and they can’t “overrule” the supreme court since they are explicitly “under” them. So regardless of what Starlink says, they aren’t going to change that, at least not any time soon. And X will either be dead, irrelevant, or significantly modified by the time the court changes enough to get them to change their decision.
If musk and X wanted to argue that in court, they could’ve appointed legal representation in Brazil. Instead, ol’ musky closed down the Brazil offices of X, like the braindead weirdo that he is.
As we say in my country, the person who burns his own butt, has to sit on the blisters.
Trump and his lawyers “will continue to fight to move this Hoax into federal court where it should be put out of its misery once and for all,” his campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, said in a statement.
Hey, Stevie, you’re really telling some bangers and zingers. When can I see your comedy routine?
The older I get the more I despise Nazis and the political right. I thought I was supposed to become more conservative as I got older, but now I’m a hippie (almost against my choice) and the only thing I can’t stand the kids doing is bigotry in their dumbass social media.
You’re only “supposed to get more conservative as you get older” cause that was the Boomer experience and Boomers can’t imagine anyone else experiencing life differently, so they railed their experiences into everyone’s heads as “fact” when it wasnt.
I’m a conservative, but I’m getting disillusioned by the movement. Barely any of them seem to care about actually limiting the scope of the government, which is one of my biggest political values, and many seem to be either dumb or grifters. Even worse, we’ve got alt-right Christian nationalists calling for a theocratic fascist state. This isn’t how either Christians nor conservatives are supposed to behave, but I don’t think there’s a political home for me anywhere else. I’d be more at home with the centrists if I wasn’t still right wing to some degree.
It’s a nonsense framework anyway. I have conservative leanings in 2A aspects and hard left leanings in such social aspects as gender and sexuality. Everyone just has to find their best fit, and the American duopoly I live under is a godawful system for that. Proportional representation would be better, but only to a degree.
I support small government, but not no government. I respect anarchism and libertarianism, but I don’t think that type of society would work well enough for my liking.
Anarchism isn’t chaos, or no government. It’s not even strictly for “smaller” government. But flatter government. Anarchist organization and government aren’t oxymorons.
The anarchist movement has a massive messaging issue / needs to decide what it actually is. I think this problem is itself caused by the movement being made of anarchists, who do not as easily fall into a decision-making structure.
“Conservative” means… to conserve. You (and everyone) gets more conservative as they age because you kinda want to conserve the status quo you, personally are used to.
Here’s the thing: with social progress, what you want to conserve is different from what the generation before the progress wants to preserve.
You are a conservative, as in conserving, of the progress that we have achieved. The “conservatives” you refer to, the “political right”, are not conservative. They are regressives, the opposite of progressives (though they might not like the connotation of that label, and will denounce it). These people would like to regress society to a time when these members of society had more consolidation of power (feudalism, fascism, racist/sexist segregation). Nothing “conservative” about that in terms of a human lifetime. In fact none of those people were around to experience what feudalism, fascism, segregation etc. was actually like. Many of these people may have been sold a lie by the 1% for the exclusive benefit of the 1%.
