I actually much prefer synchronous to asynchronous communication (at least with people I actually like) as I feel like so much humanity is lost in a block of formatted text in response to another block of formatted text.

At least texting is much better than email, you can still get some back and forth and spontaneity. My friends and I primarily use video or audio calls though

It gets approved every 4 years, some officials have made reference to what the changes are. The document itself has absolutely not been leaked, it is so classified apparently there are no electronic copies of it

Tell me you didn’t read the article and don’t have any idea what you’re talking about without telling me you didn’t read the article and don’t have any idea what you’re talking about

I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say but what I meant is that I agree people on the left are most keenly aware of the dangers of fascism and if you’re surrounded by mostly them (aka in a left leaning echo chamber) then you’ll believe that most people are aware of the threat and take it seriously.

Unfortunately in my experience most people outside of the left (which is most people in this country) don’t share that awareness and therefore do not take the threat as seriously as they should

I very much don’t think your average person understands the threat of fascism or what’s on the line, I feel like that belief comes from being in a left leaning echo chamber.

Obviously anecdotal but the vast majority of people I know are not great about consuming news, are not politically active, and don’t believe this election will have the deep consequences that I do.

built by 52 AD

It was the longest tunnel ever built until the inauguration of the Fréjus Rail Tunnel in 1871

Holding the record for 1,819 years is absolutely insane

That’s funny, most New Yorkers I know love Temptee way more than Philadelphia

No, she was still a victim and I’m not trying to undermine that, but at the same time I wouldn’t refer to her as a “sex toy” or “having no say”. She used her voice and agency to try and make things better for the people who came after her.

I think characterizing her as a voiceless object or oversimplifying a complex individual into just a victim does her a great disservice.

And then she used her fame and platform to write a book exposing all the people who harassed her and what they did. I don’t entirely disagree but I think she doesn’t deserve to be characterized as simply a sex toy/ victim with no voice or agency
