My father's genealogy efforts have brought him into contact with more family, most of which he never would have found without. It has had no effect on his immediate family, and he is a great Dad. Maybe you just coincidentally know people who use it as a crutch to replace their broken family relationships.

Edit: Do I upvote this because I don't agree with it?

You know MLK didn't write that transcript, right?

Why are you getting sidetracked from a message of unity with somthing so trivial. It almost seems intentional, like you'd prefer whites and blacks be separate.

Have you heard of Google?

"They're poisoning the blood"

"Id only be dictator for one day"

"When you see the other side chopping off heads, waterboarding doesn't sound very severe"

Would you like more? That took me about 30 seconds.

Does grab em by the pussy ring any bells?

Pretty easy to find examples of each of those points in the MAGA movement.

But you don't have a right for your child to endanger someone else's child. Obviously there is a blurry line there e.g., if my kid has a PB&J he might endanger the welfare of a child with nut allergies. Are we going to ban nuts? Probably not, because not enough kids can get sick from them to warrant that kind of action.

Everyone's kids can get measles. Or covid. Or polio. Or -insert preventable disease here-

Therefore everyone's kids should get vaccinated. I get that our government does shady shit sometimes, but people without any scientific background take that and then believe that vaccines are some huge conspiracy.

It's not.

Science proves they work and do not harm you belong a tiny margin of fringe cases where people have severe side effects (like less than 0.1% of ppl).

Edit: lane assist, but leaving as lame assist cause it seems appropriate.

Also don't know why I responded to a comment and not the original thread.

"intended for use on controlled access highways...with center dividers and clear markings and no cross traffic"

So it's lame assist, not auto pilot. Which has been around for a while. Fucking Elon.

"he was first in line at baggage claim, but sadly his bag showed up last"

I mean I agree with the general message of class solidarity but using all those hashtags make it hard to take anyone seriously, regardless of their position.

Your language in the comments are also very divisive for someone claiming to want to break idealogical lines. If people are disagreeing with you, that's an opportunity to change minds. If everyone's agreeing with you, you might just be in an echo chamber.

I know right?! My body does has a natural immune system sweety, I don't need to listen to scientists. No one even gets polio anymore, who needs vaccines?? I'll just sawy limb off when I get gangreen from a broken limb. What's that? The same science that protects me from.infection is the science that creates vaccines? Ruh-roh, raggy!

What I don't understand is how removing the tax revenue generated by the urban areas was supposed to make things better for the rural areas? These proposals always felt like memes that somehow got shoved into state legislation.

I've seen this movie before

Handsome pup, though

Yup. The irony of paying to pick apples is not lost on me. But to your point, if someone's not looking for work, they don't get government assistance (barring a disability) and probably don't need to work the jobs thes migrants are going to fill.

Yeah they are not really a good standard in my opinion.

I'm sorry you're struggling and I'm not going to debate your job search with you without knowing where you looked and what positions you applied for. It also sounds like I'm not going to convince you no matter what I say.

That sounds like an abuse of power by the employer. I would rather adults work those jobs.

If the business can't afford to pay adults a livable wage the way they operate, it doesn't sound like they should be in business.

Unemployment is at 3.8%, which is pretty good as most economist say < 5% is the bar for a healthy economy. So I would say it's not that people are lazy, it's that new industries that provide more economic opportunities appear.

Also, short of economic depression, I'm not sure how you convince lazy people to not be lazy.
