    I vote left (Canadian), and I think she’s a menace to the environment. There’s this weird logical fallacy going around that if you dislike her, you must be a conservative. SloppyEngineer’s article says she shat out 2.8 tonnes of c02 emissions on this 28 mile trip-- it’s okay to call out hypocrisy, she doesn’t get a pass.

    It’s nice that she got the GoP finally care about climate change though, haha.

    Edit: numbers






  • I didn’t know the word cryptid and looked to the root word “crypt”, then at the picture of Trump for context clues. I deduced it must mean something like someone half-dead, foot-in-the grave, etc.

    But I mused that the root could be cryptic, too 🤔

    So I looked it up:

    Any creature that may or may not exist. Sightings of various cryptids have been reported, but their reality has not been proved.

    Thanks for a new word! Also, Sasquatch exists!!




  • I also wasn’t appreciating the word choice, but it makes more sense when pictures are included.

    Alongside the images, it becames clear that they are calling out the hairs-are-standing-up, bad-gut-feeling, skin-crawling creeper kind of weird. And I think it’s useful to point out this ick.

    (Also, I’d wager you’re the eccentric or endearing kind of weird <3)







  • I don’t think anyone means to disparage the very real concerns facing USians, and I think non-USians recognize this affects every one of us regardless of country (I recently made a comment regarding this exactly).

    I think that commenter was just using humour because it’s quite overwhelming that within a week-- Trump’s been shot at and Biden is stepping aside.

    If us outsiders are feeling this, then I imagine it is so much worse for USians. I am empathetic to how stressful this must be, and hope for a candidate who annhilates Trump and leads your country towards healing.
