"Polarizing" doesn't mean "almost everyone disagrees with you". It means "many people agree with you and many people disagree with you".
But if you said "people in poor health should HAVE THE OPTION of being euthanized" then that would qualify as polarizing
I didn't read your whole comment, but from what i did read I can say this is basically the correct answer. The only thing I'd add is to also include nice sentiments and productivity explanations.
Like:
"Hey [person's name], do you have a couple minutes? I wanna have a quick chat. I wanna let you know that I'm a significant introvert, which means i need alone time and and social boundaries. I think you're a very nice person and i appreciate all the efforts you've made trying to connect with me, but that actually makes things more difficult for me. It emotionally stresses me out, and that in turn also reduces my productivity at work. I think you're great, but it would be really helpful to me if there were no extra social interactions with me beyond what's needed for our work to get done smoothly. I know you have good intentions when asking about my personal life and striking up conversations, and i honestly appreciate that intent, but it would be great if I could have social interactions kept to the minimum. I really appreciate your consideration on this stuff, thanks."
This. Racism, bigotry, homophobia, xenophobia, etc will never go away, but hopefully it will go back to being something that is shunned instead of promoted
Cec?
I don't listen to my favorite artist much at all. I've listened to them a lot in my life, and i love their songs every time one comes up randomly, but I've heard all their songs so many times in my life that i almost never purposely play them
"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they've been fooled"
After someone has been convinced of something, it's very hard to convince them that they were wrong because now their ego is on the line. And the longer amount of time they've believed what Trump says then the harder it will be to convince them that he's a lying con man, because they'd have to admit to themselves and their community that they were massively conned. And they would to some degree have to even question whether their entire worldview is wrong.
Questioning your own ideas and trying to determine if you've been wrong about something takes a lot of openness maturity and emotional intelligence, which are things conservatives statistically are not good at
There is zero chance that Trump chooses to step aside. Literally zero.
This race is exactly tied 50-50

It's not just Brazilians, read the article
Quote:
"downloads outside Brazil also rose by 584%"
"In terms of absolute downloads, countries that saw the most installs outside Brazil included the U.S., Portugal, the U.K., Canada and Spain."
Just a question for clarity here - you're saying that a person of sound mind and can communicate should be killed against their will?
