Even if this does end in political violence or civil war, if you vote, at least you will have tried to avoid that fate by participating in our democracy as much as possible. Voting is just so easy to do, how can you justify not doing it as anything but laziness? It can’t hurt and takes almost no effort.

I encourage you to reconsider and vote for whatever you perceive to be the least of all evils. Voting is relatively easy and doesn’t require much effort. It’s literally the least you can do. Yes, may not matter in the end, but it can still inform certain statistics that can be used to support various messages and arguments down the line. If you don’t vote at all, you guarantee you have no impact. Don’t throw away the little power you have.

You’ve given into despair and have opted out entirely, which is exactly what the people you gripe about want you to do. Congratulations, you’ve surrendered.

the ballot is one big trick question

I’d like an explanation of what you actually mean by this and why not voting is better than voting for the least bad candidate, if you regard them all as bad.

“Okay, now throw a straight punch at me.”

I like your memes, but this is a dick response. You could have just not answered, no reason to go out of your way to be an asshole.

Fernandez’s former boyfriend.

This is an unfortunate fact (that he’s gay) that the Right will focus on to further confirm their delusion that non-hetero people are likely to be pedophiles.

To be fair, ducks are pretty dumb.

Pretty sure they just draw complex pictures of bridges all day.

Older people (omitting any triggering mention of boomers) can often struggle to keep their opinions and thinking relevant as they can become less receptive to new information.

It’s got nothing to do with age or receptivity to new information. Vaccines aren’t new. This isn’t an instance of an old person not understanding something that came about “past their time.” Furthermore, there are plenty of younger people who are on the anti-vax bandwagon, so I’m not sure what your obsession with age is.

I don’t think I’ve misunderstood you at all; I just think your opinion is wrong, bigoted, and ignorant.

The epitome of a lazy, entitled boomer.

Right, because that kind of intellectual arrogance is definitely a generational trait that us Millennials and Zoomers don’t ever need to worry about.

So much generational bullshit that people buy into these days. What garbage.

It’s a short one, overly faded.

Yes. Female?

It’s pretty simple: the bugs weren’t gay.

Not everyone can do it, because the necessary muscles (auricular muscles) are considered vestigial at this point, meaning not everyone has them or doesn’t have large enough ones to wiggle their ears. In other words, evolution is slowly deleting them from our bodies as a species, with some of us being “further along” than others.

Yes, because its calculation relies on the local speed of sound, which is varies based on several factors, including altitude.

Operant conditioning is a helluva drug.

Can someone knowledgeable please explain to me why snakes don’t realize they’re biting themselves when this happens?

Also, related question: why do dogs sometimes bite their own tails and hind feet as though they’re foreign entities?

The cruelty is the point. The evidence is clear.

I actually disagree that the cruelty is intentional. I think conservatives have proven pretty clearly at this point that they devote a considerable amount of mental effort to believing their views are correct, no matter what the data show. I think they genuinely think transsexuality is a farce, just like they believe homosexuality is a mental illness, and that they’re protecting children from bad influences by preventing them from transitioning. The problem is willful ignorance and lack of appreciation for critical thinking.
