…fuck.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but fuuuck, at least give us until the midterms.

Declaring this now just gives it more power to take hold.

Meanwhile the US be like

“But… But I bullied them! Why no capitulate?!”

I mean… Fair.

I don’t see Freedom is slavery yet…

A lot of wealthy-esque people benefit from it a little too much, I’d imagine.

I just started believing it… 😳

I think it came across the wrong way.

The intended focus was more on using Slowpoke to call out something old and kinda dumb.

o well.

This could be very painful for a lot of Americans, but if it makes them overhaul the system, it might be worth it.

You’re not wrong, but there are enough demographics encoded in one that they could probably match names to a lot of them, if they don’t already have them, with some brokered (or stolen) data

Not as much data encoded as I thought. Just place of birth, but still. If you are able to get these paired with data, this could be very bad.

Or very good, depending on your opinion of the system 😜

“I have seen this before, therefore no one else needs to.”

Oh my fucking god, this. Why are people like this?

Genuinely asking out of ignorance: What does The Flash have to do with this comic?

Metroid fans

Well it’s never permanent, but I would imagine someone in good health, with strong familial and social connections who lives above the poverty line (person A) is much more likely than someone without one or all of those things (person B) to have a stable feeling of happiness.

Stable, in this context, meaning harder to shake or break.

An example being person A is having a good day and they get a flat tire. The issue is much more likely to be resolved without affecting their overall happiness very much, whereas person B’s day might be ruined, which is more likely to have a knock-on effect that can greatly reduce overall happiness.

This is not to say someone without those things wont be happy, just citing a few top level things that, when absent, can make someones life experience more difficult.

As far as under what circumstances would someone experience stable happiness? That’s different for everyone because we all have unique challenges in life and how we were raised can directly influence where we are emotionally and what it will take to find happiness.

One of the most sure fire ways to find happiness is in kindness and forgiveness to others, as well as yourself.

I think it can be, but I don’t think it -is-
