If Democrats actually wanted to win every election from now until forever, this would do it for them. Imagine worrying how you're going to feed your kids and then the mail arrives "BTW you've qualified for food stamps for the last 18 months, here they are" instant loyal voter.

But they won't

If you like your feudal lord, you can keep them! pete

Likewise, the IRS already knows everything about me. If I qualify for, say, food stamps, just have the IRS send me the food stamps. Don't make me jump through hoops when I'm already destitute, come on.

This would make tens of thousands of jobs redundant and make many social programs much more efficient.

Buy 8 tb hard drives and fill them up. It's cheaper than streaming even if you managed to fill one every year.

It's fucked that they have to stand up and announce "yes I vouch that the Asian community is offended by this word". It's like having to ask a child to put their clothes in the hamper every single day after they get home from school. Can't you just grow up and do it without having to be asked?

I'm white, and it's a slur. I want it gone too. Can we just quietly put our slurs away without being asked already?

Go tell the mods I Ad Homed you. I will cherish that ban.

It looks cozy in every way except there's something about a bedroom being too big that makes me feel uncomfortably exposed.

I'm linking this thread next time someone tells me vegans are insufferable.

Find a hobby that isn't reactionary.

Thanks for the dozen replies. I never expressed any intention to engage with you about veganism only to point out the reactionary tendencies you're displaying.

Yes I'm ad homing you right now. That's the purpose of my interaction and you're actually the one derailing, from my perspective.

"Are you afraid of my debate prowess?" debate-me-debate-me
You don't get to act so smug and assured when you're going to bat for the dominant ideology.

No, you're a reactionary because vegans are right and you're starting right off with the slimy "debate" techniques. It's very clear to me that your only goal is to "look right" in front of everyone, rather than actually engage.

A reactionary hobby.
