I told them letting those Hungry Hungry Hippos characters on the force was going to be a bad idea...

The old adage is that conservatives want to be left alone, and progressives want to see change.
And, for the most part, it actually creates somewhat of a reasonable discord between people. The problem is when the sides deviate from these values and start to impose the opposite on their counterparts.
So, if the conservatives just want to be left alone, then maybe they should stay away from the abortion issue and stop pushing their religion on children. If the progressives want to equality and social liberty, then maybe they need to stop demanding society punish people that are exercising their constitutional rights in a lawful manor.

If you are invested in a renewable energy venture (say solar) then who do you want to put your ads in front of? You have a product to sell and you want people to buy it. So you advertise to the people you think are most likely to buy it.

The problem is that the left can't even agree on what it thinks socialism is. You have your hard left people that want to completely tear down the system and make the government in charge of all the means of production so that they can distribute the profits accordingly to the people. Then you have the more moderate left that wants things like socialized healthcare, better public education financing, social security expanses, etc... Except, that's not actually "Socialism" as an "economic model..." That's just welfare, and welfare can certainly be a part of capitalism.

The most important thing to understand about this data is that it plays to both sides.

I'm an independent, and I'm pretty sure I give all the algorithms a stroke. I once had back to back adds, one for survival/hunting equipment and the other one for fresh home delivery vegan meals...

This election is a bit more of an outlier (although who knows if the trend will continue), since the view as the republicans being the "systematically stable" party has been tarnished lately. Overruling abortion was a big deal, pushing religion and abandoning civil rights discussions in class rooms is a big deal. Over the last two years, the democrats have swayed the status quo less than the republicans have.

Now, for the important question. If I surrounded myself in chicken eggshell, would I be able to breath? (assuming it was egg shaped, just big enough to fit my body and a reasonable air pocket.)

Reply to comment by Coloradostoneman in [OC] Sugarcane was first introduced to Brazil in 1532. Half a millennium later, the country produces over 700M tonnes yearly (roughly the same amount as all of Asia, and 7x the amount produced by Africa) by latinometrics
Yes!
You. Do. Not. Fuck. Around. With. Famine.
It's just simply that devastating to country.
Having a secure food supply in case of a multitude of disasters is probably the single most important aspect to national security.
