All of these are individual actions. I'd add organizing with other folks trying to make a difference. Direct action or political advocacy can have a much more significant effect than an individual acting alone.

That doesn't help you understand his supporters though. You have to wade in the shit they call news. You have to hear what they say to begin to understand them.

You're in a media bubble. It feels like there's no way anyone could see it differently. The people who disagree with you are also in a media bubble and don't understand how you could believe what you do.

For everything you said they

  • don't believe happened
  • think it was a deep state plot
  • believe it's good actually and believing anything else means you want to kill babies or destroy the economy
  • have never heard of it

Reality may have a leftist bias but most people don't live in reality. Most people live in a reality constructed by corporate media. Social media is largely derivative of it.

Bike poggies are worth looking into to keep your hands warm. Studded tires can help with slipping too

Most taxes on asset sale is based on profit, subtracting the bought price from the sold price. Given the wording the tax would be on the sale price, not the profit.

I'm a lot less likely to report a crime after the George Floyd murder. Granted violent crime, like murder, tends to get reported regardless of a person's personal feelings about police, and reported murders are down

I like eco-dent I have some jagged spots on my teeth that most floss snags on. This stuff doesn't snag and it uses wax instead of forever chemical

The bone conducting ones make me nauseous so I got a pair of Bose open earbuds. They're not as good in loud environments but that's kinda the point. I ride and listen to music with them daily

I don't know what that has to do with anything. I'm a lefty, life has never mugged me. I'm a leftist because bad things happen to everyone and the solutions isn't to hurt people until they're better people. Giving people time and resources just makes people and society better.

I like old mountain bikes and more modern bikes with thicker tires. I find it improves the riding experience a good bit. Regardless, the bike you have, and ride, is the best bike
