No worries mane

If someone is telling you not to smoke and they are smoking, it's irritating, I was a smoker and found myself starting to say that because I hated smoking so much at that point then I quit because Lecturing people on stuff they need to work on while doing that thing they need to work on around them is hypocritical.

I get that. Next time, maybe you could mute notifications for a few minutes, calm down a bit, and then come back?

Yea I can do that

Awesome. :)

So maybe this would be a better topic. Are we getting dumber as a society? https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/no-youre-probably-not-smarter-than-a-1912-era-8th-grader-19949041/

Interesting

In my state more than half of students are unable to pass the state exams and I know in 2018 massachusetts fudged their test results in order to receive federal funding

So it's not just Alaska

I couldn't pass alot of that just off the top of my head

Yea most of the math I did ok on but the rest I struggled a bit with

Pretty much

@T2the2ndpowr that was not to you that was to lockdown

Sorry. You tagged me but it was probably on accident.

I tagged you to see if wanted to weigh in

What do you think??

Maybe not, but probably

Jorgensen is on the ballot right next to Trump.

I see it more as a protest vote unless for some reason you think that candidate could win

oki doki

so

general thoughts on trump

lets lay out our initial positions

What do you think are his charatoristics

exactly what do you mean by characteristics

this is why i like talking, it allows us to dispel semantics at the start very quickly

for example

in my analysis he is self intrested in his own glory

ok

so you mean to say his personal character

as in his character

yeah i tend towards agreeing with you

or the charatoristics of his personality lol

sure

i think he genuinly tinks he is doing the right thing but it clouded by his own narcassisim

lets ground this by using a more common personality trait metric

what do you say?
