When would supplying water be racist?

Could we say that it’s improving the US externally?
I agree with you, but I want to point out that this conflation is a direct result of our election system because it mechanically cannot support more than two parties.
Any other political interests need to merge together into one big entity that is nearly impossible to disentangle from the rest, so now maga = conservatism and we lose a lot of nuance in or political decision making and ability to be represented.
I’m pushing for Election Reform this election to move past First Past the Post voting.
Sure, that’s true, but using Lego boys and Lego girls and just Lego people in general works too and is simpler, right?
I’m sure explaining that “Man is more like human in this case and not a gender or sex” is fun sometimes but ideas are evolving with more people and eventually it will just look too much like “Man is dogwhistle for subjugating women under men by calling them men”.
Is this bad connotation that more people will see over time worth holding onto the word Man as meaning everybody when we could just evolve our usage of language?
Why not Lego person instead of Lego man?
Rare in the US
What’s the difference?
Saying “that boy pussy” might not be about another person, so I’m also not sure this should actually be offensive. He might just be thinking about anal sex while he is in a vagina.
I’m making a big assumption though:
Nope, our election system doesn’t support it and actually has a spoiler effect because you end up tacitly supporting the other side by not voting for one of the two strongest parties.
Election reform. When third parties are viable options (they are absolutely not now and just create a spoiler effect that works against your side), politics will need to shift to accommodate those interests. Push for Ranked Choice Voting and more!
Do you want to teach and encourage them to give up so quickly in the face of long-lasting international issues? That’s what you are doing and I hope they see that. This Isreal and Palestine thing did not start in October.
Please redirect your attention to election reform. Fix the system.
You responded to a post that mentioned Trump in the last paragraph
They are saying that nuclear weapons weren’t justified considering they were already blockading the country.
You seem to be thinking that they said nuclear weapons weren’t justified and neither was blockading.
I think you could swap standards with bar and get a few extra points
Why not advocate for another election system that will make third parties viable? Basically then, your vote should be towards preserving and improving our democracy.
I’m not surprised at an SUV. If it was a older Prius or smart car, however…
I think you might be making a fundamental assumption that quality of each hour of the day is the same.
Maybe for a particular business it does not matter, they just need an employee on the clock to cover time that customers may come in, but I think many businesses have tried this out, and found that they get about as much from their employees in 32 hours as they do in 40 hours.
I think it helps to give people time to rest and deal with life so that they can be more focused and thoughtful when they are with you.
Fast, normal, and slow are not clear either, I think. We see here that the “fast” term needs to evolve because it probably feels pretty slow now. Wattages are pretty clear reference points when users come to understand what they mean, especially over time.
