I Am Concerned About Climate ChangeI read an article this morning in The New Yorker that suggests that, while it’s still theoretically possible to avert climate change apocalypse, the emphasis is on theoretically. It would basically require all the doubters to immediately have an...See More »
Why does the US have so many more “bad guys” than other developed countries? What does that say about us?I ask because we have the highest rate of gun deaths in the developed world and because Republicans and Trump supporters insist that we can’t have any more gun control because “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” and “we don’t have a gun...See More »
Why are mustard packets sooo much harder to open than ketchup packets?It doesn’t even matter what brand of mustard vs. what brand of ketchup, mustard is always harder to open. If you don’t believe me try it. I asked this at lunch yesterday and my friends just ignored me.
Was President Hoover a progressive?Stupid question, I know, but a guy on Facebook claimed he was and that his “progressive” policies made the Depression worse. What would be really great would be if someone could direct me to a good, not totally dry source that would analyze such a...See More »
So what’s the real reason Republicans say we’re not a democracy, we’re a republic?My view is they’re not mutually exclusive, we’re both. Probably looking for replies from progressives here, because it seems like I’ve heard or read lots of very different Republican explanations and I can’t remember any of them, it just seems like...See More »
Can someone please explain to me how President Obama "opened our borders"?I was having a discussion on Facebook in the middle of which I said that I was more or less satisfied with Obama's presidency. Then another guy I knew joined the conversation saying that Obama was a failure because he "opened our borders", he made a...See More »
What’s the best three-fighter combo to use in SSBU World of Light in the final battle against Galeem and Dharkon?I just stayed up all night trying to beat them. I once defeated Dharkon and came within half a centimeter of defeating Galeem too. I think that time I used Incineroar, Ness, and Simon in that order. M. Bison was my primary spirit, and I had auto heal...See More »
I Have a Suggestion for Similar WorldsI wish they hadn't gotten rid of the "replies" link on profiles. It was one of my main ways of getting to know people and one of my main ways of interacting with them if they wouldn't reply to private messages.
I Hate Racism and Discrimination“Are you upset that we have a racist president? No, we replaced him with Trump!” A lot of Republicans say this or act like it’s the truth, but how warped do you have to be to be able to believe that? It’s not racist to tell brown people to go back to...See More »
How do you edit a photo (say a screenshot of a series of PM’s) by blotting out the other user’s username and avatar?It’s not against the rules to share such an edited photo, is it?
I Am Sick of People Arguing About Religion and PoliticsI’ve seen a lot of political posts here and on Facebook lately. Most revolve around what people think about the latest crazy/obscene thing Trump has done to provoke Americans and then play the victim when there’s any kind of backlash. First, another...See More »
Does anyone else have a crush on a really minor but not too minor actor/actress/celeb?Like because I’ve had a crush on Hayley McFarland since I saw her make a cameo in the Season 7 premiere of 24. I thought she was so damn cute I looked her up to see what else she was in, and I ended up watching the whole series Lie to Me because she...See More »
Is it really true that everything that grows is living, therefore life starts at conception, therefore abortion is murder?I really don’t think so, but this discussion came from another thread and I didn’t know what to say to that.
Those who don’t believe climate change is man-made, what happens when we run out of fossil fuels?I understand your position is that pollution doesn’t significantly hurt either the environment or people’s health, and that clean energy will hurt the economy or in some way reward lazy people; however, you don’t deny, do you, that fossil fuels are a...See More »
What’s with the sudden trend of so many people using that pic of the penguin with its mouth wide open as their avatar/profile pic?
Ladies, would you be open to the idea of having two husbands?I just saw a similar question asking women if they would mind being a second wife, that's what made me think of this question.
I Have Something I Just Have To Share This girl says she likes for people to share her pics, so why not. Isn't she pretty? @tashy
Is agirlnamedcharlie from EP back?Just a little while ago, a user with the username, “agirlnamedcharlie” was on SW, but she didn’t look like the agirlnamedcharlie from EP in her avatar, and her profile said her name was actually Jasmine. I PM’ed her and asked her if she had any...See More »
Feet selfies?Somebody said it’s body part selfie day, so I wanted to make sure feet didn’t get overlooked! Post selfies of your bare feet here.
I Have Random ThoughtsSometimes trying to talk to people on SW is like trying to play Whack-a-Mole. You spot someone who's on, you hurry to send them a message, they log out, you spot someone else who's on, and then the process repeats itself. It can be a vicious cycle.
