This hits hard

i learned recently that this is a false premise; the frogs will get out when the water gets too warm for them. which imo makes its proliferation even more apt; it makes sense that they would, but we've so used to the narrative that we keep this factoid going without questioning it.

I pointed this our recently in another thread and people got real bent out of shape about it, it was weird.

Woah buddy, no need to get all political.

Charitably, the frog is actually saying "I don't like discussing our looming annhilation."

Or, I don't talk politics to YOU. I talk politics all the time, even people I know hard disagree with me on major things. The thing is, we can stay civil, if hard facts are introduced that prove a point one person is making, or show why someone's idea is wrong, it will be actually considered. When I say this, it is usually because I know that person can't do this, or I am in an environment where this can hurt my life, like work.
