I have a 90 min commute, but its all on public transit so I can just relax at least.

yeah that's not even bad - you can read a book or something while you're going. transit and walking imo should be taken into consideration for commute, because spending a while doing either one is very different from driving for the same period of time

True. I only drank after writing or study. You can't retain or produce any knowledge drunk.......

like, I've written/played music while under the influence, but it was just because I wanted to do those things. the stuff I created isn't any better than what I created sober.

I... don't actually know. I haven't really had many burgers from dedicated "burger" places where I live now.

i mean, yeah. but dont treat her like one of your 20 year old buddies obviously.

i'm a teacher and there are some students that im genuinely excited to see and talk to, like i would a friend. but am i gonna text them or be like hey lets hang out? tell them my secrets and confide in them? hell to the naw. and if they tried to do the same with me, id tell them to cut it out.

i think the relationship adults should have with children can be filled with joy and love, but always with a layer of respect, and responsibility of that of a parent/older brother/sister etc. that comes first.

this exactly. it's normal and healthy for kids to have friends that are adults.

Writing essays is piss-easy. Creative writing, on the other hand...

this is an extremely simplistic way of thinking about things. for many reasons.

one reason is that "essay" and "creative writing" are not two mutually exclusive categories

Eventually a more altruistic society could develop, but it's going to take hundreds of years to get there, and we have to avoid killing ourselves first.

no one claimed that full communism would happen overnight. the transition between capitalism and communism will be an entire historical era in and of itself.

Being prosperous and having hot food is getting boring. Time for something new. I want to know how it feels to have not eaten in a day and wait in a line to be handed a small amount of bread.

do you think countries that attempted socialism might have fared better if they weren't dirt poor to begin with?

do you think they might have fared better if the US didn't put so much money into destroying them?

From the left, you have If you dont want stricter gun laws, you want children to keep getting murdered.

I realize these are generalizations, and that not everyone who belongs to either of these groups is an extremist. But the ideas that manifest from the abundance of group think for both of these groups just make me sick. Both groups serve as a proxy for having an ACTUAL moral compass. Why go through the trouble of having to think for yourself what is right or wrong when you can just adhere to whatever moral beliefs your group told you are supposed to be correct?

most leftists actually support gun rights so I don't know where this is even coming from

I'm aware of the term. Hence the quotes. Direct Action is a misnomer. It is, in reality, almost the definition of indirect.

There are two ways to go about making change happen. You can scream and yell until the person in power changes his mind by protesting, or you can say "This guy wants what I want, so I'm going to give him power instead" by voting. One of these relies on someone else willingly changing their minds. One of these does not.

If you protest, but you don't vote, then you are a literal waste of time in any elected official's mind. The only reason protests are effective is because, occasionally, an elected official believes he has a better chance of being re-elected if he does what they want. That doesn't happen when the people protesting don't vote.

so you don't think that the Stonewall riots, where black trans women threw bricks at police cars, yielded any positive results?
