You mean you haven’t noticed the clear degradation of culture?

No, it’s even.

It’s just like Big Oil (or insert massive scale business with environmental consequences) - they’re making the world inhabitable. As the consequences don’t “immediately” matter to them , all they care about is the immediate future, not long term. But it still makes no sense to me.

Your name definitely checks out bro…

This, too, is how I roll.

I think you meant “doing well” 🙃

I work in the US and this is not universally true. Though a lot of companies will make you feel that way, there are many that wouldn’t do this. My company respects my lunch hour. I know many that have the same situation.

So wait - why don’t we dump our garbage into active volcanoes though? (I’m imagining an assembly line to the fires of Mt. Doom)

You already know the saying about one man’s trash. Just use that if they ask about it.

But pants also always cover all the legs.

ah, same vibe as “I’m not locked in here with you, you’re locked in here with me”

Yeah this isn’t really an argument between you guys as much as one saying “the worst of the worst is bad!” and another saying “yeah, they are! But most people aren’t the worst of the worst”.

I’d say, based on most of the answers here, that the reasons behind the sports scenario (people who are spectators) and the reasons behind the video game scenario (personal failure) are very different.

Apples to oranges.

Exactly what this reminded me of. Thanks.

I can understand that you can vote for someone you criticize. But it’s obviously implied that you’re withholding your vote unless the administration changes their tune, which means you’re not voting for someone you’re criticizing at the moment. If not, then you have nothing to pressure with.

I am all for constructive criticism but I still don’t think this is an effective means to accomplish getting this point across.
