He gave hypotheticals with very clear and pretty easy answers. The fact that he posed those as stumbling blocks means he shouldn’t be deliberating on anything more significant than what he should have for lunch.

It’s easy to say anything to a survey that comes to you. It’s about the reality of how many would actually go out and miss some work to vote for the guy.
See, I pictured out he blew out his poop chute
“If you don’t stop committing a humanitarian crisis, we’re going to stop sending humanitarian aid!”
…
What?
OP is why we can’t have nice things. Because people will ignore things that should be obvious. So we’re left with everything softball pitched to the lowest common denominator
This is not targeted at you nor OP.
The answer for both you and OP is tied to your last sentence
so we can all enjoy fried chicken and watermelon on Juneteenth.
Why fried chicken and watermelon and why on Juneteenth? Do you eat fried chicken and watermelon as part of your normal rotation? (Hopefully, ‘yes’ because both are delicious and everyone should be afforded the opportunity to indulge)
The issue is that very evidently in both OP’s case and the one you linked that someone was given the prompts “food for celebration” and “celebration of African Americans”, generated “African American party foods”, and churned out a menu reinforcing racist stereotypes. The inquiry is “hey, where is your head at?”
Oh no, my life has become that much poorer
I had to pay off my own notably cheaper loans and work shitty jobs for my demonstrably stronger dollar at minimum wage! So the whole world should writhe in tears and agony until the end of time!
You’re gonna be judged as the minority that most offends them.
Because most protests are about making the lives of normal people miserable until they’re pissed enough to hold someone to task.
Are the Tories gonna care that Stonehenge was dusted, from in their mansions? Most of them would love to dig up the stones and use them as new countertops, simply as a bragging point at their parties. But normal people that care about landmarks like these will be pissed and, maybe, bitch to the government.
You gotta highlight sarcasm nowadays
I mean, humans are terrible. But you’re completely neglecting how bitter centuries of open oppression can make a group. Some people thinking “Goddam, white people been doing this shit forever but the one time a caught it’s national news? 'Bout time we got away with something.” Getting away with major crimes becomes a metric for success when you’ve got little else to look forward to.
I’m curious how the sentence “There is every reason for people to believe that” gets translated to “sure, you can think that if you want [to be wrong].”
It reads more like, “I can’t say whether it’s ‘1 plus 3’ or ‘2 plus 2’ but everybody is getting 4.” The evidence is all there.
I figured it was an attempt to get votes in before he’s declared ineligible. So when he’s ousted, he’ll say “I got all these votes, count em! I should win but they’re cheating and saying I can’t run! FRAUD!”
That’s certainly one way to blow someone’s back out
Yeah, “urban” is an American dog whistle for “black and/or Hispanic”, e.g. “the young man who rang our doorbell was so urban. i don’t feel very safe.”
It might be unbelievable 40 years ago. What you just described is the base assumption of every sci-fi/cyberpunk story, m8. Asking if cyberpunk is grimdark woukd be a more interesting opinion, if not just an accepted fact.
One kid having a 3 aunts and widower dad and a dead mom does not a grimdark universe make. Is Earth grimdark by your rating?[rhetorical question]
Because most people don’t get into real estate to do public good. Most people get into real estate, become landlords, to make money off people’s need for land and housing. It’d be like trying to whitewash criminality because vigilante heroes exist. Yeah, vigilantes might exist and are technically criminals, but that’s not really the core conception of “a criminal”.
Yes, and that would not be currency. It might be useful to think of this as a tiered system.
‘Trade’ is a top-level idea, an exchange between entities. On a tier below that, i.e. a closer specification of ‘trade’, exists ‘barter’ (trading goods for other goods or services) and ‘money’ (trading some representational, notional item for goods/services). ‘Chickens’ as a payment is a further specification of bartering, while ‘currency’ is a further specification of ‘money’ (being ‘money’ defined/in use by a specific power/state).
