When I say politics I include things like struggles with inflation and laws that harm you and global warming and working conditions and much more. I think that it’s good to engage thoughtfully with the people we surround ourselves with

I think many workplaces function better when workers are able to develop camaraderie by talking and joking about things that aren’t strictly related to work

I think some politics is healthy to talk about in certain work situations. Definitely not the red vs blue tribal nonsense, but discussing and understanding material conditions

You could probably show this to an antivaxxer and he wouldn’t get it

Did your physics professor say “velocity == speed”? Because if so, yes he was

According to this physics website you’re wrong

An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.

Velocity =/= speed

A change in direction is a change in velocity

None at all, no sick, no holiday, no federal holiday, absolutely no PTO. If I don’t go in I simply don’t get paid.

Here’s a new clearer statement to express my thoughts on the matter.

Contrails are visible and normal and fine. I probably don’t fully understand the science behind them, but I realize what we are seeing is water vapor.

Chemtrails are also real though. They are invisible to the naked eye and are directly contributing to global warming as well as some health concerns that are hard to quantify. They are not some conspiracy to control or disable the masses. The exhaust of cars and especially planes leave a trail of harmful chemicals behind them. The reason for this is because we care more about convenience and money than we do about the ecosystem we live in.

I personally believe pointing out that dichotomy is more useful than laughing at people who are misinformed.

Just because the contrails are science

I understand that part, doesn’t stop them from containing the plane exhaust which is directly contributing to global warming

Nah, plane exhaust is real and killing the planet. Just because the contrails are science and not doing mind control doesn’t mean they’re not still bad.

You should check out some ideologies. You probably realize, but there’s way more than red vs blue. You kind of sound like an anarchist. You don’t necessarily have to give yourself a strict label, but it’s a good idea to see what they’re about. That’s why I say political leanings, because it’s possible to find ideas you latch onto that don’t all fit neatly into one camp. Or don’t and just continue to do the actions you feel led to.

And thank you for being receptive

You’re contradicting yourself my dude. You give enough of a fuck to help people. Doing things for your community is a political action. Maybe you just haven’t gotten the chance to understand your political leanings

Ah so you’ve fallen for the propaganda that says you don’t have the power to change anything, that’s just what the small number of elites want the large number of masses to think

Critical thinking is a skill that requires teaching and practice. If children are not given that preparation they won’t have that skill in adulthood. That’s why authoritarian governments care so much about controlling and/or limiting access to proper education.

Funny and sad

Not dividing the left, just consolidating the right

I would like to do that, but my comments on negative topics definitely produce more discussion. Just like everywhere else, negative is easier than positive.

I used to feel more suicidal. Nowadays I think if I was feeling like I truly wanted to do that, I would want to take an oligarch with me
