The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Stop replying to the non-serious flat-earthers.

That wasn't a request - just stop it already. That is the response they seek to elicit, and you'll convince them of nothing.

Here's your alternative challenge. Spend your time working on the vote for the midterms, which are about two slim months away.

There are many ways you can do this - put up money, and one that is possibly more valuable - your time.

I've been writing postcards by the hundreds for postcards to swing states. They do just that - mail postcards to likely voters and work to get them to the polls. A hand written postcard has a certain power that is vastly stronger than "oh, I posted a support message on FB" (which translated is "I did nothing basically").

There's a science behind this, and this is an organized and effective movement. My wife worked in direct mail marketing for decades, so you can put your trust in this process. It works. It requires about 2-3 min/postcard, and a stamp that is about 71 cents.

Now get off your ass and stop posting to these dopes.

Go, it isn't a nice to do, it is an imperative. If you give a damn, your internet posts say otherwise, as they do nothing. Nothing.
