Often, it’s not about the person you’re arguing against, it’s for the people watching who are on the fence.

If you can keep yourself calm, rational, and present convincing evidence, then you can save some people from falling into those conspiracy and religious holes from which they may never return.

Sometimes you get lucky and bring someone back from the brink.

It’s estimated about 2% of Americans believe Earth is flat, and a further 9% aren’t sure what shape it is.

2% of Americans is near 7,000,000 people. Near 40,000,000 don’t believe the Earth is a ball or are unsure.

Even if you can’t convince the 2%, that’s still roughly 33,000,000 people in America alone you could potentially help with critical thinking. We need all the help we can get.

As a driving instructor myself: you’re the person I warn my learners about 👍

I’m just parroting what Trump said after the first episode. I love South Park ❤️

I like how this is coming back into public knowledge after some washed up, irrelevant cartoon aired.

To people like this, the number in their bank account is like a scoreboard. They didn’t get that high up the leaderboard purely by accident.

Anyone who thinks that kind of person is just going to give up their place on the scoreboard is either incredibly naïve or gullible.

Don’t get me wrong, there are some people to there who may have some semblance of empathy, but as seen by the title, that’s about 1 in 25.

They also don’t do good things out of the goodness of their hearts, they do it to win social points so that they don’t get gunned down in the middle of a NYC street.

As someone who isn’t clued up on Nordic languages and has no idea how any of this is supposed to be pronounced, my brain just went to the overtones for help

I love the idea of criminals commuting out of the city to work.

Like, there’s a bunch of stores in the city, and thousands of people where crime is easily accessible, but no, lets go to the suburbs instead.

Fuck it, why not go rural and go steal a bull - I heard they can get you a few bucks 😂

But yeah, so much of America is just fucked without a car that even places I’d consider to have bad transport links would look otherworldly to some people from the States.

Funnily enough I’m a Sanddancer, and you’re absolutely right.

The transport links through Tyne and Wear are easily 2nd best in the country, but they’re still a long way from London, and they continue to get worse year on year.

Our country in general is too Americanised, too reliant on cars now. I feel anyone who has really visited Europe can see just how far we lag behind in terms of transport networks.

I’m British and I came to Berlin a couple of weeks ago.

That shit was 10x better than London and 100x better than the rest of the country

With the rise of the far right in Germany, I could sadly see plenty of them agreeing with this version…

Dear Mx Dreeshen,

In regards to your last letter, I believe I wholeheartedly understand your concerns.

Your letter helped open my eyes to the error in our plans for the city and thus we shall no longer proceed to install our planned dedicated bicycle lanes.

You are correct that we must deal with the increasing demand for access to our great city.

Therefore we shall be announcing vast improvements to our road structure in the form of increased public transport services, dedicated bus-only routes, additional pedestrianised streets in major shopping areas, and even a couple of tram routes, on top of the bicycle lanes laid out in our original plan - all thanks to your wonderful letter!

Get wrecked you spineless automotive shill.

With love,

Jyoti Gondek

I hate I have a birthday in the same millennium. All these <26 year olds with their youth, and a 2 at the start of their birth year!

They’ll never know the glory of the 90s!

They’ll never know what it was like to grow up in a pre-digital world!

They’ll never know what it was like in an airport before 9/11!

I never knew what it was like in an airport before 9/11 because I only flew for the first time last week but my point still stands!

And as for the rest of you millennials! Remember Dexter? This is him now! Feel old yet?

In a different universe, in a different timeline, maybe we wouldn’t be stuck so far up America’s arse and do something sensible like putting the damn country on a travel ban list.

I had a game of Civ where Poland declared war on me. They were on the other side of the map.

I didn’t see them for 8 turns. Turn 9 I see a horde arrive on my border. Turn 10 - at the earliest opportunity they were able - they asked for peace.

I managed to sink 2 boats.

I’m not op, but I’m 55° north… It’s 22:25 here and this is how light it is right now. In another 4 hours, it’ll be nearly full daylight again!

No, no. We know. We all know. We just don’t tell you we know.

Well they definitely weren’t taking his spot at Harvard, that’s clear

Daddy loves plowing the soil (the soil is your mom)

Do these tests take place with people watching? If not, could you not bullshit by saying “Yeah I’ll do it”, then lock the parents out from seeing anything before having a chat with the girl about how bullshit it is, then bullshit even more by simply telling the parents “yep, totally a virgin, absolutely a virgin”?

That said, now I read that out loud I realise that’s probably way too risky and could cost you your license.

It’s obvious to me. I get that it’s not obvious to her 😂
