I’m not saying it never happens, I’m saying you misinterpreted what the original commenter was clearly referencing—how the average car appears on the road.

Unpopular opinion: sheltering kids from everything traumatic is only delaying the trauma until a time that they are out of the house and don’t have family around. Running across graphic content occasionally online is a facet of modern life. They’ll cross that bridge eventually, no matter what you do, so you might as well be around when it happens to provide support and context.

I feel like this comment is a little obtuse. They are pretty clearly referring to the average car driving down the road. People don’t tend to drive with their hazards on unless there is…a hazard.

It depends on what you count as a light. If you count every LED in the screen over Fremont Street, then it undoubtedly wins.

I need them to tell me which influencers! Please, Jesus, tell me Jack Dougherty is in Davey Jones locker.

That’s so skibidi Ohio, chat, no cap.

The same way everyone else does, I purchased all your private information from a data broker. Your mother is ashamed, but your sister says “how YOU doin’?”

Pornhub statistics show that was a lie.

I think it is important to keep an eye on your sphere of influence and not take on emotional burdens for things that are far outside of that. Most people are not in a position to make a major impact on the world stage, and that’s ok, but those same people can have a huge impact in their community and with their families.

If you start by refining yourself into a person who stands on a foundation of values, you will be better prepared if you have the opportunity to make serious change. If you don’t get that chance, you will still have intentionally continued to grow into a wiser person than you started as. It’s a win win.

If you do find yourself in the position to do the right thing and influence change at scale, then it is up to you to call on those values and do so. I often think about how there have been so many people who could have changed the course of many global issues, and they bailed on the responsibility.

So I guess my stance boils down to: refine yourself, don’t blame yourself for the things you can’t change, and change the things you can for the better using your best available judgment. That’s all that most people can be asked to do.

Chris Cornell is the GOAT. That’s all I have to say.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. Sending positive vibes from afar. Mom’s are special.

My experience traveling has been the opposite—I’ve been noticing how the perception of modernity in America functions as a control and fear inducing mechanism to keep people from seriously questioning capitalism.

I have spent a lot of time in Mexico, and I personally believe they have their priorities better aligned to give people an existence with some level of dignity. It may not look like American suburbia, but you can take up a cottage industry easily if you are poor, get healthcare more easily if you are sick, and socialization is affordable. Where America nickel and dimes every necessary expense to live, Mexico does a better job of keeping those costs down and taxing luxuries instead.

I’m not saying Mexico is perfect—no country is—but the “shithole country” rhetoric that Trump espouses contributes to an impression that our way is indisputably the best way, and that is simply not true.
