Here in California, basically every government document have a Spanish counterpart and there's always Spanish speaking translators available. I can see how many Spanish speaking people can live in the US and never have to know an ounce

Did I say anything about Trump? It's not a Trump problem. It's just how the politics game works. You campaign on x, get elected, and then when you do y because of some reason, your supporters will bend over to justify it, rather t

There was nothing wrong with his English. It was easily comprehensible and was some first-hand or ground level knowledge from an Italian person. I completely disagree with the idea that HN is so petty that they would dismiss an informative

Appreciate it. But really, we need to focus on shit that matters. There's no need to browbeat people into using words we prefer. We want to make actual progress. Is the world any better if people use the right words, but continue to do

Democrat Party. You are a Democrat voter. Not an insult, just a statement. I'm saying it only because you appear so offended by it. I'm from California and no one cares dude. This is why we keep losing with the working class and r

This is some very distasteful advertising/shilling. I appreciate your pitch, but I must respectfully say: I'm out. Shark Tank dramatic sound effect/bgm starts playing

When someone who is top of the class self-deprecates themselves, often people will interpret that as an attack on them, as it looks like you're bringing yourself down to their level, which implies you actually do see yourself on top an

From my perspective, California has always been just California. I've never seen the south/north divide you're describing. If they thought deforestation or whatever was the solution to the fires in the North, they would'

Is the problem that you don't believe water should be a human right or that California is not one state, and should be split into two parts with individual rights to their own water?

You're not wrong. Don't let yourself be gaslit into doing stuff you aren't sure about. You don't have to eat the bugs. You don't have to just let them do whatever they want to you, just because "trust the scien

I agree, it's pretty bad. But I don't think it's on the laypeople. The English teacher did the right thing. Could they live with themself knowing they could've stopped a real bombing that killed people? The problem isn&#

You've made the point about the clock several times, but it's kind of dishonest. Anyone who actually takes a look at the photos of what the "clock" looks like will immediately think it looks like a bomb. Now imagine ANYo

What I'm saying is, if the majority of people in a country that are willing to vote, want to vote in stupid legislation/policy that screws them over economically or whatever, they got what they (f'ing) deserved. Next time, th

Look at it this way. With more direct democracy, people can finally get what they (f'ing) deserve, and they'll have no one to blame but themselves. No more hiding behind the politicians they voted for. And even then, people still

As much as you want to act like vaccine skepticism is a right-wing thing, I don't think it's that clean and cut. If you asked them, most people are probably fine with vaccines. There's a small portion of very vocal people on

If you don't do it, someone else will. This is a systemic problem that needs to be dealt with systemically. So whether you do the job or not, doesn't change much about the situation. But there may be something greater than that, y
