  • Doomerism is very in right now, but lots of things are getting better. It’s hard to see through all the social media, but if you curate your feeds to things like science and educational information, you can see all the wonderful things people are learning and making.

    Sure, there are a lot of selfish, shitty people out there making a lot of noise, but in the background, there’s the same great people just chugging along making things better.

    Just chug along with them and vote for the people that align with your values, and do the best you can.

    Like Mr. Rogers used to say, when you see bad things happen, just look for the helpers. The first thing that always happens after a tragedy, is people line up to help. It’s our natural instinct.

    If you use birdshot, or any target shot, the individual pellets don’t have enough mass to really do anything, even at terminal velocity. Heck, Dick Cheney shot someone in the face at point blank range with it, and they we able to get on a podium and apologize to Cheney shortly afterwards.

    Slugs are a different story. Not sure about larger buck shot, some of those can be as heavy as a pistol round, but not really aerodynamic.

    He used his power and position to take advantage of an intern. Maybe you should care.

    Most people that make it to the level of a president have done really shitty things, while this one wasn’t at the top of the list, it’s still pretty bad. Sucks that most of the hate and jokes were pushed towards the victim instead of the perpetrator.
