That, or getting up off the couch, and exercise... And addictive snacking...

2019-08-28 21:53:07 UTC  

Well with the current education system in a few years i doubt people will remember how to cook

2019-08-28 21:53:16 UTC  

True indeed.

2019-08-28 21:53:32 UTC  

I mean, they do have culinary classes

2019-08-28 21:53:36 UTC  

and food and nutrition classes

2019-08-28 21:53:38 UTC  

in high school

2019-08-28 21:53:50 UTC

2019-08-28 21:53:53 UTC  

Not many people take them and they are not mandatory in most schools

2019-08-28 21:55:32 UTC  

i dont think they should be also to be honest, not that hard to figure out how to cook a lot of meals

2019-08-28 21:55:46 UTC  

the only things that are really hard are like lasagna and cakes and complicated shit

2019-08-28 21:56:06 UTC  
2019-08-28 21:56:14 UTC  

Mhm.

2019-08-28 21:56:20 UTC  

Is NY a blue state.?

2019-08-28 21:56:26 UTC  

it has AOC

2019-08-28 21:56:31 UTC  

and its urban

2019-08-28 21:56:33 UTC  

Explains it.

2019-08-28 21:56:33 UTC  

so.........

2019-08-28 21:56:34 UTC  

yeah

2019-08-28 21:57:58 UTC  

`New York is frequently portrayed as one of the most solidly Democratic, "blue" states in the country, along with places like California and Massachusetts. `

2019-08-28 21:58:11 UTC  

I can see why for schools.

So i think AOC has just demonstrated her complete lack of knowledge on the American Political System https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1166502815717568512

2019-08-28 22:00:50 UTC  

both parties serve lobbyists, so she's right for the wrong reasons

2019-08-28 22:01:14 UTC  

I am talking about this part "Republicans are now arguing that the US isn’t (& shouldn’t be) a democracy."

2019-08-28 22:01:57 UTC  

well how often do you see chucklefucks on here say "the US isn't a democracy, its a republic"

2019-08-28 22:02:15 UTC  

Well there is an important difference

2019-08-28 22:02:18 UTC  

this is one argument she actually hasn't made up out of whole cloth

2019-08-28 22:02:31 UTC  

The Founders knew that a Pure Democracy was not a good idea

2019-08-28 22:02:42 UTC  

she's misinterpreting it in context, granted, but still

2019-08-28 22:03:12 UTC  

>Has been a Republic since its founding

Please tell me the Americans aren't stupid enough to fall for this?

2019-08-28 22:04:41 UTC  

No, what they fall for is treating both terms as mutually exclusive, or even contradictory

2019-08-28 22:05:01 UTC  

fucking embarrassing, if I'm honest

2019-08-28 22:05:37 UTC  

Its one reason I can't read more than a few pages of *'Unfreedom Of The Press'*

2019-08-28 22:05:47 UTC  

To be fair violet

2019-08-28 22:05:53 UTC  

everyone calls it a "democracy"

2019-08-28 22:05:57 UTC  

"our great democracy" etc

2019-08-28 22:06:35 UTC  

but yeah. representatives are necessary in a country with 300 million people and less informed masses
