I hate to point it out to you, but you most likely are friends with a DeSantis supporter or two. People are very much willing to lie about or omit who they vote for in order to maintain social relationships, and if you could look into others personal thoughts, you'd probably be very surprised to find out who of your friends are.

When politics are cut out of the equation, you'll find you can be friends with DeSantis supporters, just as long as you're kept in the dark.

I personally would say: "interesting, Why's that?" And listen to what they have to say about it.

I ask myself the following: "does this person treat me well? Do they treat others well?" If yes is the answer to both questions, then I just move on. Who cares if they would vote a different way than you in an election they can't vote in anyway?

I learned how to run properly. Before we dated I could barely get through a minute straight of running. After he corrected my posture and breathing, i can run for miles.

I hate it, but I can do it.

They're both pretty slippery though.

Meh. Its slow, and the politics are more extreme. I've spent a good portion filtering most politics that I can out of my feed.

It's alright here. There's enough to keep me off reddit and not enough to keep me on my phone constantly.

Iceland, by far. So different than everywhere else. Stunningly clear, crystal-blue water, rough, alien terrain, and some if the most amazing waterfalls you'll ever come across.

Runner up is Sintra Portugal, just North of Lisbon. Beautiful mountains, incredibly green, filled with so many different types of castles from all the different cultures that have occupied the country over the years.

I mean, that's fine, but no one world-wide is going to hear "American" and think anything but "a citizen of The United States of America". So, what's the point of trying to push it as such? For all the hate American citizens get, you'd think you'd want to separate yourself as much as possible from the title. Canadians certainly won't like being called Americans, that's for sure.

I thought you were going to make Hak reference.

I love you, but barking the way you do means I have I pay double the amount I'd have to if you just kept it down.

Also, let me touch your feet and butt, I'm not actively trying to harm you, I'm trying to help you!

To find a sexually compatible partner who I'm attracted to.

I'll never forget the day I realized I was just exhausted at being angry all the time. I was holding onto so many grudges, something my mom does.

It took me down a path or learning why I was so mad at everything and what to do to fix that.

I remind myself a lot that fear sells, so fear is manufactured. I carry on my life the way I see fit so I can enjoy it as if nothing terrible is happening. I'm not in politics, so all I worry about is voting for the candidate I see fit, I'm only me, so I recycle and don't litter, but I live as if the earth isn't going to burn up. I disconnect from the internet a lot and focus on the people around me and what they're going through. I take time for my hobbies and social life. I just enjoy.

Reading into the past makes me hopeful for the future. The ever consistent doomsday climate news has been going on for decades, and it used to be panic about the earth freezing, so I'm not putting a bunch of stock in the idea that we'll all be wiped out by boiling seas.

Despite the claims, Trump didn't turn our system into a dictoral wasteland. He tried to overturn the election through legal means, and the legal system worked. Biden became president when he was supposed to. I don't think Trump will be able to turn out system into a dictoral wasteland if he gets elected again. The system will see to it that the next will come into office after.

Some states handing down abortion laws is awful, but I live in a state where it's legal, and I'll move if it becomes illegal. With countries like Mexico making abortion legal recently, it makes those states look so backwards. I think abortion will eventually become legal everywhere in the US again.

People live through horrible times. We do what we have to do. I'm just one of them.
