This is also my problem. Hi there fellow Minnesotan, just gonna scooch right past ya there.

You can feel how you want, but the water burden thing is just factually incorrect. A pound of beef uses a LOT more water to raise than a pound of lentils. Or are you forgetting that you also have to use water to grow the stuff that the cow eats?

I removed myself from the food chain a decade and a half ago by forgoing meat entirely. Now I don't have to have weird moral arguments with myself.

When you said that football guy kneeling wasn't political, I started to seriously question what your motives are. He literally knelt, during the national anthem, in a political protest against police brutality. Politics isn't capitol hill bullshit. I'm fairly certain that you don't have a deep enough understanding about politics to come in here and be the arbiter of what is and isn't political.

While I understand the sentiment of your statement, and I think it was well intentioned, I think you're wrong

Star Wars is a movie about the policy of an authoritarian government, and the actions of those that fall on both sides of that policy. It's explicitly political. It was written to be so.

Found the landlord, guys

Yeah, most Americans are generally not into the "USA USA USA" cult-like behavior of it all. Most of us are just regular people working shitty jobs to pay for shitty places to live. And all the grandstanding and "Do something!" from your rant is extremely disingenuous to the people are fucking doing something. Just because you don't hear about it doesn't mean it's not happening. And you're kind of an asshole for generalizing a whole people like that.

The law is NOT the "only thing holding us back from killing each other". There isn't some crowd of killers ready to go, but oh shucks they just respect the law way too much. What a ridiculous notion. If the law prevented us from killing each other then nobody would ever kill anyone.

Seriously! I just read this and I was like, fuck, I remember being 16 too

That's not how it works though. You can't just be philosophized into no longer being the president. There is a process for removal from office. This is just our system functioning as designed. If that makes you uncomfortable, then dream of a better system and fight for it with your life

You can spin up your own mumble server. It's not that hard, and then once you have that running, you just tell your friends to download the mobile client and boom. You're done

No Simba! You must never go to Florida!
