5·13 days agoStrokes are brain attacks. While the clots that (can) cause them can be cardiac in nature, they can be caused by many other issues as well.
Compassion and empathy are higher level cognitive functions typically achieved after base needs are met. So l, brain damage caused by a stroke is unlikely to make someone have higher level function. Basically, strokes = brain damage, and brain damage = less recognition of humanity in others.

“You may have defeated me in the womb brother, but I impregnated your wife. I win.”
I’m a bit confused. If they choose to pay “the hard way” in their 40s but get the payments discharged by the government, they get both an easier 20s, 30s, and 40s then you, and would then be actively competing with you for other cost item, like housing. I’m all for forgiveness honestly, but your argument doesn’t seem entirely honest.
Dead curious if anyone can provide a legit rebuttal to this comment rather than down voting.
This would be more like cancer treatment being made free for all after a certain date, I can def see someone who went bankrupt paying for their treatment being a bit salty. Hell, Tesla and Apple buyers get mad when there is a steep discount after they buy, and this is factored into costumer relation decisions. Ultimately, people can tell individuals making this posters argument to “get fucked,” but it just alienates more people.

32·1 year agoTed Cruise’s mother was a citizen when she gave birth to him. That makes him a naturalized citizen. Honestly, if that wasn’t true we would be ICE raiding of banning from office a ton of military children.


“Without subsidies, it is cheaper to make long-lasting bioplastics from plant matter than to raise a cow and kill it for its skin. The fashion industry makes clothes that decay in order to sell more clothes, and the meat industry artificially lowers the price of leather.”
This post is why we can’t have nice things.
Also, is this true? This feels like one of those statements made with confidence that may also not be true. I know bioplastics still have issues with regard to synthesis that does have environmental impact and does not breakdown after synthesis. Also, corn is also heavily subsidized. It’s kind of difficult to take this comment at face value given the unnecessarily personalized debate strategy you utilized.
