I made a bunch of mistakes on my driving test, but they passed me anyway since my mom made me take my test on my 16th birthday and the instructor felt bad for me. I proceeded to get into 2 car accidents in my first year driving. I got pretty good at it eventually, and haven't had any major issues since then, but I definitely would've benefited from a bit more practice before being given free rein.

It definitely was, but now I can only find this pic.
It's like voting; obviously all I can control is my own actions, so I'll do what I can, but if too many people stay home our chances drop significantly.
Regular people who have been pacified by a lifetime of "violence isn't the answer" and "if you fight back, you're just as bad." I hope we find the will to resist, but I worry we're too far gone.
It was pretty useful until I had an argument with my mom and the lights would constantly turn off and on.
Yup, 3 years of WoW with no mic did so much more for my typing speed than typing lessons ever did.
I would think this guy was being so over-the-top cartoonishly evil on purpose just to get us to grow a spine and rise up to overthrow the corrupt government if we were actually growing a spine and rising up to overthrow the government.
People like things to fit into neat little boxes. If you're smart, you're smart. If you're dumb, you're dumb. If you're smart in some ways, and dumb in others, you're confusing and they hate it.
4 beers had me puking in my friend's bathroom. 1 beer would probably make me an unsafe driver.
I got shitfaced drunk from 4 beers once; I can't handle alcohol for shit. But yeah, the big concern is a sober alcoholic accidentally relapsing.
That's a fair point. I was thinking it was kinda like being the technical prince of the Ottoman empire or some other country that no longer exists - a neat factoid to talk about, but otherwise not really relevant.
Which is why they pump the uninformed majority of voters full of the idea that the current system will always save them. My father in law has a degree in political science and still thinks that we'll vote Trump out in 2028 to fix everything. Decades of things generally continuing to function for the middle class white demographic has brainwashed every democratic voter over 50 I know to believe we're still well within the acceptable bounds of politics.
