Agreed, those people are the best. But also, that's a bit of a nightmare scenario, because now you have to decide if you're going to risk saying something from five minutes ago, or decline the kindness and feel bad for rejecting the gesture.

Awkwardly attempt to join the conversation, only to be talked over mid-sentence by someone else, and so you wait for another lull. Attempt to start again, only to be interrupted again by someone else. Watch helplessly as the subject of the conversation drifts far from the point you were going to make. Minutes pass, and everyone is glad to be talking about something else. You let go of the moment, and resign yourself to remain quiet. Then someone says to you, "Oh, what were you going to say?"

The house thing is like Monopoly 101. Never buy hotels, stop at 4 houses. If you need more houses, you can buy a hotel and have four houses to buy.

What they're saying is that trying to reverse climate change won't be enough. It doesn't mean it isn't the right path, just that it won't go far enough.

Two types of people reading this:

"Oh no! We should do everything we can to mitigate the damage."

and

"Fuck it, might as well keep doing what I'm doing."

And it's the latter that got us here in the first place.

It is a crime to film inside a polling place.

How is it not election interference?

Conspiracies happen in secret. This was election interference in broad daylight.
