Hot Take: You should know basic navigation skills like reading maps and figure out how to get somewhere without constantly using your GPS. GPS is unreliable in many situations. I try to only put GPS on if I'm going someplace new.

On a related note: lesbians joking abt being anti-dick/not interacting with dicks is transphobic. Not saying lesbians are obligated to think dicks are great or whatever, but the implication is that you don't see ppl with dicks as a viable dating partner bc dick = man.

The length of this video combined with all the clips really shows the horror of federal occupation. Makes you think about all the abductions that weren't recorded.

-All private schools are either closed or become public. Homeschooling would be tightly regulated, and only certified educator would be allowed to teach.

I have a couple: -Divest housing as a financial asset. Having a house is a gauranteed right and govt is responsible for insuring every person is housed -No cars except in very narrow circumstances. All commuter transport transitions to bus, train or other non-car methods.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine that dramatically BOOSTS the immune system’s ability to fight tumors- even WITHOUT targeting a SPECIFIC cancer type. It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery AND radiation treatment.

Also, given that these people are raw milk supporters, I doubt they even know what healthy food is.

This is such a passive agressive/dehuminizing idea. As if to suggest the problem is that poor people don't know how to eat heathly and not that access to healthy food is the issue.
