Not at all.
We need to go to the store, but let’s hurry so we can get back home.
She is very talented, but she is also very modest.
The weather was cold, but the scenery was beautiful.
The movie was long, but it kept my attention throughout.
I mean I could go on and on. If this is the one thing your holding into turn you’ve got nothing.
Well seeing how often you misrepresented the truth in this thread alone, forgive me if I don’t side with your assumption.
What about their comment lacked critical thinking?
When the guy who is at the center of it all corrupted the system that’s supposed to keep him in check you’ve lost a lot of options. Like the old saying goes, if civil unrest isn’t effective the people don’t stop being upset they just stop being civil.
The problem is Trump seems to run the Republican party whether he’s in office or not.
The park was not packed where Trump went, this was disproven already. Trump also has groupies that follow him around the country. Trying to use this as any metric of popularity is silly.
He didn’t squander the anti Trump at all. People just seem to accept lies and BS from Trump and hold Biden to a much higher, sometimes ridiculous, bar.
I don’t think people who want Biden to just get swapped out really quick know how that works. He doesn’t want to drop, he’s come out and said it. They would have to work against the sitting president who has already won primaries. There is real risk there.
Is Biden great, nah prob not. But he is not in the same league, hell the same sport as Trump when it comes to horrible. Instead of trying to change the world in a few months before the election, I’d take Biden who has actually done good and work on the next candidate from there. When we have years to build them up.
Cool, let’s just all be defeatist and bitter like you then.
Cool. I love sci-fi books.
And way less safe than not playing with explosives at all.
You gain brief enjoyment at the risk of fires and injuries. This makes no sense.
It’s a joke about the character Charlie in IASIP.
Yep, typical what-about-ism
Not a natural state? Lots of things humans do aren’t natural. Hell you could say playing with explosives is not a natural state. Danger in the wild makes you survive and balance needs vs risk. There is no need to play with explosives and if you need to see a kid lose a few fingers to know that then you’ll face many problems in life. I mean should we let kids play in traffic to learn about danger?
That’s a false equivalency.
They are explosives. They are less safe than most sports, movies, video games, concerts, tons of things. This is like saying “yes, doing knife throwing tricks at people is less safe than pillows”. Of course it is, what bar are you setting. Come on, fireworks are literally playing with explosives. Children and drunk people alike.
I mean, safe aside from all the accidents that happen every year. Like kids blowing off fingers or what have you. I mean I get it, but having any random Joe be able to buy a ton of explosives then go home, drink, and play with them seems needlessly risky. Especially in dry areas where fires can start or around large groups of people.
Yeah but at the end of the day we’re handing out explosives for people to play with, even kids. Just feels like it’s not the best form of celebration.
You called Charlie smart, which worries me lol
Wait, I thought we were all kidding. Please tell me your not serious…
Yah, the garden gnomes aren’t filled with water either.
Misremembering something where wording is important, then presenting it as fact is very close to lying.
