Apathy, laziness.

I don't know. There is a point at which people are who they are and you can't change them.

Sometimes talking to people and being direct, yet non crtical can help talk them into changing something about themselves.

There are people who are apathetic even when their life and health on the line, so i don't know what to do about that.

Are you woke?

One last thing i want to say on this, in regards to the original post, in case the poster is not aware:

People who talk about multiple genders always draw a distinction between ***sex and gender. ***Sex has to do with the sexual organs you were born with. Gender has to do with what gender you identify as and many (but not all) believe gender is a spectrum.

That is honestly the limit of my knowledge and experience on the subject and I admit i don't really understand what it is like to be born with male ***sex organs but feel that you are actually a woman, or vice versa. I've never felt that way and i am not close to any transgender people. My feeling will always be, as long as you aren't hurting anyone, identify however you want. I will respect you and use whatever pronouns you wish me to.

The few transgender i have been lightly acquainted with (like, three) have been smart and nice people who were pleasant to be around in my experience.


Perhaps these are all things you find perfectly acceptable and agree with, but the brief sentence that is your original post implied otherwise to me, which why i commented.

Do boys just complain more than girls?

Its both. More of a personality thing than a gender thing.

What are/were your plans for Halloween?

Halloween never was a big deal in my fam so i let it go by pretty much unnoticed.

Only woke people know eating aunt jemiah pancakes is racist.
Lol

Ive never heard a progressive use the word "woke" except ironically in the sense that they know its a word that conservative media and politicians use in a derogatory way. Like while commenting on Game of Thrones i heard a self-described liberal call a group of characters "woke" but in a joking way. I've never heard one call themselves that. I'm not saying they don't, just saying i don't see it. Speaking as someone who probably listens to more of that type of media than you do.

Why are teachers and other school staff paid so little?

The Teacher's Union is the largest Union in the U.S.

Hmmm it seems it is true that there is an overarching teacher's union but i imagine membership and influence varies greatly by state and local affiliate.

How long until you can report an adult missing?

Probably best to call the police and see what they think.

PSA: There is probably some kind of election going on in your county this November.

Yes, I agree with all of this.

I'm just disillusioned with state and national level political options.

Side note: I'm on an organizing committee of a statewide minor political party, so obviously I haven't totally given up hope.

Yeah point was this was just to remind people that there are elections going on everywhere....as far as actual offices up for election, for me it is just my county and some town offices.

It's interesting because I tend to vote a specific party because I don't usually do that much research but on the county level issues, often time party doesn't really matter.

Like the one candidate I am looking at who I would otherwise vote for is opposed to specific development projects that I honestly don't have a problem with. Still looking at her platform to see where she stands on other issues.
