While it sounds a bit defeatist, he does make a brilliant point. All of this is no good if all the leaders of the worst offenders outright refuse to attend these events and actually commit their countries to meaningful change.

Look at good guy Exxon sticking up for the planet /s

It's an easy PR win for them, cause the Paris Agreement is more symbolic than anything, as it is woefully ineffective at actually punishing countries for failing to meet targets, so if Trump chooses to stay, they can milk the environmentally friendly PR and the status quo continues. It actually hurts them if Trump chooses to leave cause it puts them into the spotlight.

Exactly. This scene is literally Grimes having a meltdown over Homer essentially never having to feel the consequences of his actions and failing his way to success and a cushy lifestyle.

If this were a meme about Israel, it would at least make more sense, as certain non-voters would have an excuse to be frustrated - but with it being about Project 2025 it just doesn't fit at all, as voters are the frustrated ones here.

Honestly. I'd be fine with a touchscreen for things you wouldn't likely be adjusting on the go anyways - but basic stuff like the radio and AC/Fans should always be easy to distinguish, don't need to look away from the road to operate buttons. Making basic stuff require touchscreen is inconvenient at best and outright dangerous at worst.

Oil giant wins the right to keep fucking the planet. Great, just fucking great /s

While I agree, it would probably help if the Dems actually tried being left-wing for once, rather than always trying to be Republicans-lite

Except it was harder to read than if it stayed consistent the whole way through, and that lack of consistency serves to make this look more of a cheap, crappy knickknack than it already looks like

So whoever designed this started left to right, decided up to down was better part way through, then switched back to left to right... All without ever proofreading their work apparently

Honestly not even bad life advice...

You might not get somebody's POV, you might think it's weird or bizarre, hell you might have no fucking clue how they got there, but the end of the day, as long as they're not harming other people in the process, does it matter how they view the world?

Being exposed to all different walks of life is a good thing, no matter whether it's Tumblr fetishes or real-world diversity. There's a reason that higher education leads people to be less bigoted, and this is a big part of it.

Edit: Just adding on. I know myself I used to be a lot more close-minded than I am now, and I credit going to university with that - as said above, it opened my mind to different POVs and walks of life. Albeit I'm still not quite ready for whatever fetish pooltoys involves haha

Bloodletting is actually still used to treat some diseases - for example it is the primary way to treat Haemochromatosis. Until recently, in the UK at least, people with this condition couldn't donate blood, so it was just thrown away like back then too - though more recently they started allowing donations to help treat hospitalised anaemia.

Anon discovers that life often isn't all that fair...

Being smart and hardworking can bolster your odds, but your lot in life really boils down to how lucky you are, and how well equipped you are to capitalise on that luck.

Unfortunately the right combination of extreme luckiness and ability to capitalise on it doesn't come up all that often, so most people simply won't ever get that lucky break.
