  • Here are a few suggestions:
    Volunteer at a soup kitchen or a food pantry
    Sign up for a church email newsletter and go there when they are doing pot-luck meals (bring a dish to pass)
    If you are into sports, sign up to volunteer as a coach.
    Don’t buy all of your groceries all at one time. Buy a few things each time and go more often. Even if you don’t meet or talk to anyone but the workers, you will be around other people.







  • Flirting is a cooperative effort. You can have great game and still fail if she isn’t interested. You might also meet a girl that gives you a positive reaction, but you might miss it if you aren’t looking at her that way. It takes two to make flirting work.

    If you want to get to know girls; tell a few jokes or funny stories. If you think a girl might actually like you, tell her a dumb joke. If she laughs, she probably likes you. If she doesn’t laugh, she’s not interested yet. Keep trying and you will learn what works and what doesn’t.

    There are lots of women in this world so try talk to as many women as you can. Be persistent without being aggressive and you will do just fine. There is someone out there for everyone.

    I am of the opinion that closed-minded thinking is only part of the issue. The other part is there are well financed interst groups who work hard to create and encourage division in order to prevent regular folks from working together for a common cause.

    The reason is simple: convince people to fight amongst themselves and they will be too busy to notice how much they are being ripped off by the tiny handful of rich people at the top.




  • Unfortunately, as we have already seen within the Republican party, threats work! If you are a secretary of state right now, you have two choices:

    A) upholding Article 14 sec 3 because Trump engaged in an insurrection and is disqualified from ever holding elected office. But by doing so you, your coworkers, and your friends and family will be having to endure constant protests, verbal abuse, and death threats for the foreseeable future
    or
    B) Not doing that, hoping that he loses again (as he should), and the crazy people mostly leave you alone.

    Which one would you pick? The real answer is probably not as easy as simply following the law.
    I know which one I hope I would choose, but I can’t say for sure I would do it.

    edited: because I was not paying enough attention and wrote the wrong job title. (oops)

    Depends on local laws of their state, but yes in most states you lose the right to vote while in prison and some places, like Florida, make it difficult to get your right to vote back. Not sure if the prison sentence being for a state or federal crime makes a difference or not.
