I actually like vinegar by itself but it’s too potent to just drink it straight. Instead I’ll get a bunch of green onions and let them soak in the vinegar, then I suck the vinegar out of the green onions and enjoy the onion itself as a crunchy snack after.
I agree with you and appreciate the call out and the positivity. Too many new accounts on Lemmy lately that are commenting negative and defeatist things on positive headlines.
My wife behaves very similarly. Often she apologizes for things that I don’t even register. It’s a difference in how we grew up. I’ve mostly settled on ignoring it now but early on I encouraged her to think about who she’s apologizing for, and if she’s doing it for me I encouraged her to stop. Not only do I not need it, most of the time I don’t even notice whatever minor transgression occurred she thinks needs to be apologized for.
Now if she does it the apologies mostly go unnoticed too because it’s not for or about me, and if it’s what she’s comfortable doing then that’s ok.
I think it might be time for Old Glory to go upside down.
polling shows most republican voters are *not* in favor of extreme abortion restrictions. They want abortion up to a certain point and for certain reasons.
So those polled voters indicate what they want in a poll.
But when they’re told the other side is murdering full-norn babies, they go for what seems to them like the lesser evil.
Yet those same voters elect (choose) the politicians (their representatives who speak for them) who want something different.
Again I ask why a distinction should be made, in regards to voters and politicians, when discussing party. Seems to me like both groups, voters and politicians, say one thing and do another.
As Maya Angelou once said, “When someone tells you who they are, believe them.”
Politicians are the elected representatives of the voters. If the politicians want something their voters don’t then why are they being elected.
It’s a civil case.
