Awww…no response so attack the person making the argument instead. Just like Trump you are!

Sorry. Should have used the clap emoji after every word and put it into a fake tweet picture to get the point across to the new perpetually online crowd.

Says who? Everything I have seen lately is statewide bans.

Your assumption is just an emotionally based knee jerk reaction!

Who even said that? Please, pass laws in your state against guns! From what I have read, that will not be enough for some. Just like having a loose agreement on abortion was not enough for some. The push for forcing religious businesses to provide resources for abortions is what started this whole mess.

Nobody said shit until people started trying to force Hobby Lobby to provide insurance that includes abortion coverage.

It’s just never enough for some. Then there is push back and the side that started the mess wants to act like they are the victims. It’s the same crap on so many issues!!

YOUR STATE CAN MAKE ABORTION LEGAL!!!

YOU NOW HAVE MORE POWER TO MAKE IT LEGAL IN YOUR REGION(aka your STATE)!!!

THIS IS HOW THE COUNTRY WAS SET UP!!!

IF YOU WANT NATIONWIDE ABORTION LEGALITY, VOTE FOR REPS THAT WILL WORK TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! (not the fools who have been in power for decades that have perpetually pushed it to the back burner!)

IF IT DOESN’T GO YOUR WAY THE FIRST TIME, IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU LIVE IN A DICTATORSHIP OR IN “THE HANDMAID’S TALE”! IT JUST MEANS THERE ARE STILL MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST IT THAN THERE ARE PEOPLE FOR IT!! THAT COULD CHANGE IN THE FUTURE!!!

THIS IS WHAT WE CALL DEMOCRACY!!

My MIL is this kind of extrovert. She assumes that if someone isn’t constantly talking to her that they hate her.

Look lady: I love your daughter to death! I love you to death! I DON’T HAVE ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN MY LIFE!! And you KNOW that!! Trust me, when I do, I WILL LET YOU KNOW!! In the meantime, business as usual and I don’t have any opinions on anything outside of my purview!

I swear, if ever she was forced to sit in front of a group of people in silence, her head might explode.

You do understand she is the one that was jailing black men on possession charges because it made her look good, right?

Then why are they even talking about it? They haven’t the power to do anything about it, so stop claiming you will do it.

Oh wait! Making empty promises fools idiots into voting for them.

Works every time!! I’m 40, I thought legalization was right around the corner 20 years ago.

I find it important to call out any media bias no matter how “tepid” you may find it.

It’s the deluge of “tepid” examples of bias that makes us complacent when what you might consider “real bias” comes up and goes unnoticed and/or unquestioned.

To all of the “neutral” folks:

Wouldn’t “neutral” mean you could swap headlines and photos and still have the same emotional response (because that is the aim of propaganda, to illicit an emotional response)?

I don’t think this would garner the same response if it was switched.

It is subtle propaganda (apparently), but biased propaganda none the less.

Not necessarily. One snip gives an example of a positive quality of the person in question paired with a positive leaning photo. The other gives no such example of quality (and in fact uses authoritarian language as a way of swaying opinion) paired with a photo doctored to (at least in my mind) resemble historically negative figureheads.

This is a form of bias and propaganda.

Exactly! Additionally, the visual cues that are obviously being used paint a very different picture.

Propaganda isn’t really difficult. It just requires a predisposed audience.

I love this. It always reminds me of Fleetwood Mac, and that’s always a good thing!

Wait a minute! I just saw a post saying Trump was lying about the impact and federal response!!

Are people struggling? Or has the government completely taken care of everything?

$700 gets you a pretty nice PC these days…

The most important lesson I have learned throughout my career is that large corporations are not worth working for. Too much “HR” interference.

The best work environments I have ever been a part of is when I worked for smaller businesses that were still made up of actual people and not nameless/faceless/soulless “corporate HR departments”, who’s sole purpose is to “make corpo more money no matter the means”.

Hold my beer!

“So in short eat vegan like a poor vegan not like a rich person who thinks veganism is trendy”

But in the context of this conversation, wouldn’t eating like a poor vegan rely heavily on buying products that also have a heavy impact on the environment?

You would have to buy cheaper products which come from mass produced farms that use TONS and TONS of water! And generate TONS and TONS of carbon emissions during production of those products.

To be vegan AND advocate for conservation(you can advocate for something no matter your own behavior. That’s the wrong word to use) to claim that your lifestyle is better for the environment than your non-vegan counterparts, you have to have money.

Question: why the FUCK do you want to work for a Catholic employer if you aren’t Catholic (aka follow the doctrine of the Catholic Church)?!

I can pretty much guarantee you they probably can’t pay much anyway!!
