Polls: Society & Politics

I had a conversation about this with a coworker on Monday. If it was the end of the world and 95% of humanity was dead and gone, would you care about the state of the world around you?

You wander, from town to town, looking for survival supplies, food, and possibly other survivors who aren't armed and hostile.

Would you keep things clean, knowing that literally NO ONE would ever clean any trash or mess you left on the ground? Or would you make an effort to be responsible, knowing that no one is ever going to clean up any trash or mess you leave behind?

My coworker said she wouldn't care about her trash and would make a mess; even throwing stuff out the bedroom window instead of proper waste bins. I think that's awful, considering it's going to be there forever and would make me feel even worse about the end of the world.

Would do you say?

There are tons of examples. Only have limited options.

I don't believe this will last another century. It's too intrusive and politically divided.

Quite frankly, gender pronouns (putting them on your work resumes, social media description and then get offended when others refuse to play along with stupid gender pronouns) are one of the most fucking stupid trends and first world problems I've ever heard and I don't know if I should blame Millennials or Gen Z for manufacturing this pathetic first world problem.

Herschel Walker said voters born after 1990 “haven’t earned the right” to change the country, invited them to leave, and wanted them stripped of their citizenship.

Obviously, if you are already a Trump supporter then you might still be reluctant due to the risk of your house being vandalized. Broken windows etc.

Shouldn't Conservatives support abortion since it cleans up society?

Because some science of how our minds work indicates people make decisions based upon how they feel and feeling hungry changes their decisions.

Should it be required the judge and jury be offered a nice meal... before deciding or ruling?

I've been on a jury, and I don't like how the system works. I think court is not done right.

There is some precedent with the RICO laws used against the mafia.

Especially with Kanye West running for President in 2024, and considering that Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker both ran for U. S. Senate this year; there has been a rise in celebrities running for office. Caitlyn Jenner ran, as did Donald Trump.

Matthew McConaughey and Oprah Winfrey attempted to run for office.

Okay, I'm posting this because a lot of people, on GAG and real life, don't understand me when I say certain things. It'd be complicated to explain, but the easiest way I just came up with to explain is, that I have standards for myself. In EVERYTHING I do. Every single thing. Even when I type a GAG post on here.

Most people with simple mindsets do not understand this, at all. They're lazy, contribute nothing to society, and then judge me when they see me actually put in effort and try in life. This is why I DETEST the idea of the "average" human. Uselessness. Valuelessness. Being insignificant, worthless, and very replaceable. The idea of even being seen as "average," sickens me! I know what I do daily in life, regardless who witnesses it or not.

Some people don't understand why I can sometimes be negative. Both towards society and myself, especially in my own shortcomings and failures. It's because I have standards. That's the simplest way to explain it. I WANT a better society than this... This Dystopian sh*t of woke culture and Participation Trophy losers. I WANT an educated society of free-thinking adults who actually contribute to the greater good of humanity and whose existence actually means something. I WANT to live in a better world, with better people, than... This.

And yes, change starts from within. I literally work on myself daily. Every single day.

"Should I be less negative and critical? Or more passionate about wanting a better society and leading by example?"

"Should I work more on my mental stability and having more fun? Or work more on my physical health at the cost of enjoyment and happiness?"

These thoughts go through my head daily.

It's the reason why I can sometimes come off "negative" on GAG. Because I often don't see the results of a better world that I want. And some failures, like my height or looks, I can never correct or fix. And that drives me crazy!

I am the way I am due to my standards. Do you have standards for yourself as well?

Arizona has made clear that it has no regard for your right to a free and fair election, no regard for your right to know what charges you face if assaulted in the dead of night by SWAT, and no regard for your right to a trial by a jury of 12 peers.

Arizona believes in zero transparency, zero due process, and zero accountability for officials.

And as Khorrami v. Arizona, has made perfectly clear, the so-called "Supreme" Court has no interest in striking down Arizona mistrials either.

"The dissent also points out that the Court had empirical data suggesting “smaller juries are less likely to foster effective group deliberation” which works to the detriment of the defendant, while '12-member juries deliberate longer, recall information better, and pay greater attention to dissenting voices.' "

Translation: A jury of 8 is more prone to groupthink and manipulation, leading to false convictions. Perfect for a state that is railroad-happy!

Long story short: in modern Arizona, the 6th amendment no longer exists. Should Arizonans take up arms, and do something about that? How much extreme prejudice would you be in favor of?

There is some data to suggest that remote work is bad for companies in the short term, and good for people. What do you think?
