Probably depends on who you ask, but my understanding is that there is at least relatively significant support for the reinstatement of Reza Pahlavi, the eldest son and exiled crown prince of the last shah. To my knowledge, his calls for protest and overthrow aren’t the inciting incident for the currently-occurring protests (the economic catastrophe(s) Iran is going through have that plenty covered), but those calls to action have at least been been a contributing factor and rallying point for the ongoing protests.

Genuinely, invest in education and you can resolve a lot of this in one fell swoop. I firmly believe that a large part of the reason the US is in its current state is because of the systematic cuts to our education system which have been happening for damn near half a century (fucking Reagan). Invest in the youth, give them the critical thinking and media literacy skills needed to draw their own conclusions, and I think you’ll have made significant progress on the issue.

Easier said than done, though, I’ll admit, and it’s a plan that operates on a pretty goddamn long timeline - a much longer one than the current critical situation is likely to allow us.

Well, at least we’re getting good fuel efficiency in this dogshit economy?

It’s not the licking that’s the problem. A small little lick would go unnoticed. Utilizing 110% of the surface area to maximally tongue fuck the cup’s exterior, though? You’re just begging to get memed.

My friend group recently acquired of a heart of gold type himbo, and honestly he’s quickly ascended to like top five people I wanna have around at the function. He’s just so genuinely pumped on life all the time that I can’t help but have a better outlook, and anytime he sees his friends doing well, he gets even more hyped.

He’s not the brightest bulb of the bunch, but he cares genuinely for the people in his life, wants the best for them, and finds joy in their successes. In my opinion, that’s way more noteworthy than any amount intelligence could ever be on its own.

The world could certainly do with a lot more kind, dumb people, and a lot fewer smart assholes, that much is for sure.
