Polls: Society & Politics

Before the inauguration of the World Cup, the whole world was united against the deaths of the immigrant workers, but now the lgbtq has shifted the attention towards their agenda of shoving their views upon a religion and the laws of the country.

Do you think it destroyed the whole momentum of the protest and the attention we barely had on the rights of the poor workers?

Police: Walmart employee opened fire in store, killing 6

A Walmart employee opened fire at a store in Virginia, leaving six people dead, police said Wednesday, in the country's second high-profile mass killing in a handful of days. The assailant also killed himself.

The store in Chesapeake was busy just before the shooting Tuesday night with people stocking up ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, a shopper told a local TV station.

There was no clear motive for the shooting, which also left four people in the hospital, police chief Mark G. Solesky said. The gunman's home was searched, but Solesky did not give his name, only saying he was a Walmart employee, because his family had not been notified.

“I am devastated by the senseless act of violence that took place late last night in our city,” Mayor Rick W. West said in a statement posted on the city's Twitter account Wednesday. “Chesapeake is a tightknit community and we are all shaken by this news.”

Joetta Jeffery told CNN that she received text messages from her mother who was inside the store when the shots were fired. Her mother, Betsy Umphlett, was not injured.

“I’m crying, I’m shaking,” Jeffery said. “I had just talked to her about buying turkeys for Thanksgiving, then this text came in.”

A database run by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University that tracks every mass killing in America going back to 2006 shows this year has been especially bad. The U. S. has now had 40 mass killings so far this year, second to the 45 that occurred for all of 2019. The database defines a mass killing as at least four people killed, not including the killer.

Does knowing less about life make a person happier?

I told my mom today about an issue I had with a black female stranger telling me to put my phone down (I said "ok Karen" to her) while I had music on me even though it was public property and I didn't put on anything offensive.

I told both my mom and dad about the homeless crisis. My mom said not to let 20 seconds ruin my day and to just "get over it and move on" (I HATE those terms, it literally reminds me of gaslighting). My dad half-agreed with me but also that I shouldn't have been rude to her and called her a Karen, that "she was (likely) just looking out for (me)". I always pay attention to the streets and I am only writing this while on my phone on the street because I am stressed out and alone right now.

My mom isn't into politics but I told her that I hate living in a Democrat state; my dad is also nearly as conservative as I am, but he was discussing the issue in the city he lives in (in the same state) after I told him the city I live in is almost as bad as the ghetto city I lived in before.

He told me the city I live in has "a low crime rate and a high police presence everywhere". Right after I brought up the corrupt cops!

I am seriously considering running for office one day.

I wonder if they can stop that. They promised they would.

Or are you someone who thinks if it isn't illegal its ok?

Do you think that in our society at any level of demographic, that the internet has caused the majority of men and women to procrastinate more often in all categories of life such as school, self help, selfcare, learning, working, etc.

For context the majority of 18-29 yr old western women are professionally diagnosed with some sort of mental illness. It's an easily found statistic.

Musk Restores Trump's Twitter Account After Online Poll

Elon Musk reinstated Donald Trump’s account on Twitter on Saturday, reversing a ban that has kept the former president off the social media site since a pro-Trump mob attacked the U. S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was poised to certify Joe Biden’s election victory.
Musk made the announcement in the evening after holding a poll that asked Twitter users to click “yes” or “no” on whether Trump’s account should be restored. The “yes” vote won, with 51.8%.

“The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk tweeted, using a Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people, the voice of God.”
Shortly afterward Trump’s account, which had earlier appeared as suspended, reappeared on the platform complete with his former tweets, more than 59,000 of them. However his followers were gone, at least initially.

It is not clear whether Trump would actually return to Twitter. An irrepressible tweeter before he was banned, Trump has said in the past that he would not rejoin even if his account was reinstated. He has been relying on his own, much smaller social media site, Truth Social, which he launched after being blocked from Twitter.
And on Saturday, during a video speech to a Republican Jewish group meeting in Las Vegas, Trump said that he was aware of Musk’s poll but that he saw “a lot of problems at Twitter,” according to Bloomberg.

“I hear we’re getting a big vote to also go back on Twitter. I don’t see it because I don’t see any reason for it,” Trump was quoted as saying by Bloomberg. “It may make it, it may not make it,” he added, apparently referring to Twitter’s recent internal upheavals.
