Thank you for being a friend, Zach

Usually I hate all-evil races in fiction, yet Daleks are my favorite fictional species.

I'm at the point of my life, where I'd rather vote for a politician who outright says "I'm not able and not willing to shake up the status quo, but I'm gonna work hard to make small incremental changes for the better and focus on balancing the books."

If you think USSR was in any way, shape or form a net good, you have just not read up enough on it. Or listened to those, that lived under the regime as adults.

The near-universal trans woman experience of your progressive friends going "but you were so cool as a feminine man, why would you ruin yourself by transitioning?" the moment you come out.

Don't cheap out on toilet paper, unless you like yours to be decorated like a children's hospital.

Lots of people don't actually lack "media literacy", however loosely that term is defined. They just have a very shallow pool of media they've experienced and thus have a shallow reference pool. It's not the same.
