“Reading incomprehension will never happen to MY post,” you think, and then suddenly you’re the poor being pissed on.
US citizens & other long-term residents, what is your opinion on the closure of USPS offices today, January 9th, to mourn US President Jimmy Carter?
It's a great thing.
It's a good thing.
Meh, it's fine.
True Neutral / I really don't care either way / No Opinion
It's a bit bad.
It's a bad thing.
It's a terrible thing.
It's so terrible it harms people and/or disrespects the President's memory.
It's so great that it actually helps people and/or is the best possible honor.
Not USA citizen or resident / abstain / no comment / other / bald / show results
Mildly annoyed but former presidents don’t die that often so it’s fine.
It’s fucking stupid is what it is. Former presidents aren’t royalty. They’re just people who used to have a certain job.
It’s funny how there’s people online trying to stir up hysteria about “looters” during a wildfire. That is like, the type of disaster that is most adverse to “looting” like shit is on fire
damn I hope the looting doesn't affect property values
You know that they give evacuation orders before the fire gets there, right? And that just because there's been an evacuation order, that doesn't guarantee that the fire will come, right? And that even if an area gets burned, it's often very hit or miss with burned houses right next to untouched ones, right? You guys know this and you're just being deliberately obtuse for the bit, right?
If you left the stuff there to burn to a melted plastic heap, it would have burned to a melted plastic heap if someone else didn't take it. You literally abandoned the stuff and decided it was not worth it. To someone else, it was worth it.
I would like all the people in this thread going “lol there aren’t any looters because DUH there’s a FIRE” and all the people going “lol if you obeyed an evacuation order and looters stole your stuff you DESERVED IT” to fight each other.

There is something that is really infuriating about the current moment, where "We should lower student loan payments for low income debtors" is discussed as an insane presidential overreach, and "We should declare war on Denmark in order to reclaim Greenland" is a sober, sensible policy proposal.
Or, if not that, at least we shouldn't care because, come on, everybody knows that politicians exaggerate!
There's a lot of you who spent the Biden years explaining to me that "Defund the police" was so crazy that it discredited the President even as he actively disagreed with it, who said it was important even if nobody actually defunded the police because gosh it just shows the priorities of the left, who are pretty fucking quiet about the upcoming President talking about going to war with fucking Denmark.
This shit where only the left wing is responsible for what it says and the right can't be held responsible for what it says is getting pretty fucking old.
I vacillate between “he’s just talking about possibly invading Greenland and Panama in order to distract from the truly awful stuff he’s already doing, such as his cabinet picks” and “no he really is that crazy.”

politics in heaven in complicated because everyone is immortal and you can't kill them, and you can't get any new angels born, so when you take power in a rebellion you have to look through the dungeons and find the angels you trust the most, despite all of them at some point in eternity being in a rebellion against you before.
“Yeah, it’s really hard to know who you can trust, because for every possible coalition of angels, there is a single angel who prefers that coalition above all others.”
“But a coalition is just any set of angels, so that would give you more coalitions than angles.”
“Right, that’s why they’re arranged in hierarchies. You’ve got your, you know, just plain angels, then arch-angels for every coalition of those angels, then arch-arch-angels for every coalition of angels and arch-angels, and so on.”
“Where does it end, then?”
“It never ends. There is no coalition of all angels. They form a proper class.”
“That’s practically diabolical. Are you sure that this is heaven and not hell?”
“Doesn’t really matter. The cases are isomorphic.”
