And yet, I still meet people, actual human beings, who struggle to rub 2 together...

Hard disagree. This, like all of privacy decisions, is entirely situational.

I'm setting out to the exact thing OP is, for both plying my craft, and accessing local community post about resources and events.

Don't get me wrong, I fucking hate Meta, but I also hate being unhoused. I've spent months going back and forth weighing such a decision's impact on my situation and determined the value I can get out of it to be worthwhile.

Your comment is absolutist and absurd, and total turn off for those interested in joining various privacy communities.

People like that ascribe to the life, not the label, and I wish more went about their religion like that.

JD would just end up putting the jar between some couch cushions....

And the preservative is done through fear.

There is still time.

There will always be time.

Besides, Star Trek Timelines aren't exactly known for being consistent or accurate.

Wonderful news! Its lovely to see so many people gain more freedom and equality in such a concrete way.

Lets see the mental contortions the right wing tries to make about this, i'll grab my popcorn...

Scott, stop abusing Jeb. He's people too.

If you have a SSN, you have a number.

Well I totally get this entire system is mismanaged horribly designed from the start not even designed for this from the start, exetera....

......fuck, how are we living where someone’s like this and has these kinds of mental gymnastics going on all day every day?

Critical Thinking, or subjects heavily reliant upon critical thought are intentionally not taught very much in required courses throughout K-12. Direct discussion and development of that skill is pretty much exclusive to after HS. And so when they are told to fear, and why, they lack the skillset supported by healthier development.

How can we eradicate bigoted, hypocritical leadership?

We don't even have to do that (also, it's impossible over time, the threat will persist as long as we do) We do it by teaching. And teaching those skills, especially to those already "finished" with traditional schooling are going to have to be some of the most patient people ever.

HOW DID HE GET ELECTED.

He conned a sizable group of americans with a valid disappointment/desire in regards to their view of the government's role in their lives. A smaller subset of suporters were not conned, but saw through his words and voted for him not out of fandom, but because they knew it meant short term gains.

In short, fear in the masses, and greed from the top.
