Gotta be like gator right?

Yeah the place I’m at now was like ‘great your somebody that we can move around/learn things’

You can just change careers whenever. No one cares. When I was younger it seemed so set in stone like you learn a trade you’re a plumber for life. Go to college your major is what you’re doing for life. It’s not true I knew a philosophy major that was working as an elevator engineer. Do HVAC for 20 years then do something else. It’s fine

I didn’t turn it off but that scene in Farha with the baby was brutal when you have one in the room with you

Ah to be a teenager again

Learned about it when they banned chapo. The chapo fork wasn’t a good fit for me. Mostly hang out on twitter and use this to post articles or look for longer discussion

What you’re too fancy to divide by 25.4 or multiply by .0397?

Yup I’ve been there. Any kind of ban or forum closing sucks just take a beat so you’re not all worked up

I say this with all sincerity; log off. Just for a bit to reset your relationship with sites like reddit. If you do you won’t care what happens on reddit

Seems like I’m getting 3 reactions to this map:

• Neat map
• I don’t understand this map
• I will find you and kill your family for this crime against data

Every single home is in the northeast

I apparently was too stupid to find the thing that teaches you how to craft in thebvery beginning, as well as the first boss, so I ended up wandering around grinding until I killed the second boss first. Idk man those games just aren’t for me

You ever read that red sails ‘brainwashing isn’t real’ article? Similar premise, similar conclusion.

Basically guy was spending a lot of time debunking anti China stuff and getting frustrated. Realized really the propaganda isn’t very sophisticated, wasn’t hard to debunk in most cases. So saying people are fooled is kind of a cop out, underselling their intelligence maybe flattering your own. They’re buying in consciously or otherwise because they see the benefit from siding with the propagandist.

Idk was an interesting read for me at least. If you can’t get past the writing style these points are more or less where he ends up:

Stop accusing the masses of being “brainwashed.” Stop treating them as cattle, stop attempting to rouse them into action by scolding them with exposure to “unpleasant truths.”

Accept instead that they have been avoiding those truths for a reason. You were able to break through the propaganda barrier, and so could they if they really wanted to. Many of these people see you as the fool, and in many cases not without reason.

Understanding people as intelligent beings, craft a political strategy that convincingly makes the case for why they and their lot are very likely to benefit from joining your political project. Not in some utopian infinite timescale, but soon.

If you cannot make this case, then forget about convincing the person in question. Focus instead on finding other people to whom such a case can be made. This will lead you directly to class analysis.

One time I wrote a desperate email to my English teacher. Let me do some extra credit anything to not take the class again. He corrected all my spelling and grammar mistakes, attached a picture of my attendance record, and told me to go fuck myself

They shot him in the leg after that picture went viral

The sign up process is just too confusing for most people too. I tried evangelizing it when musk took over and that was everyones response. Need like a temporary instance for new accounts that you can transfer out of once you’ve got your sea legs

Yeah. The bill is real but st judes is a charity hospital. Joking the only way to pay his debt is rob a charity

Yeah people act like squirrels behind the wheel its terrifying. Big part of why I stopped riding my motorcycle. There was this one intersection where everyday, without fail, a car would go through the light, get up to speed, look at there phone and drift onto the wrong side of the road. Everyday.

So one day I’m sitting waiting to make a left and I can see the person across from me looking at their phone. Light doesn’t recognize my bike so I just gotta let it cycle before I go. Guy gets a green and starts driving without looking up. Just slowly drifting straight towards me. Eventually I hop off and just try to put the bike between me and the car and brace for impact. Guy looks up at the last second gives a little “teehee you caught me” smirk as he veers back into his lane.

I have seen that exact smirk so many times. Its the exact same on everyone

Regardless of what you think about abortion laws people just gotta come to terms with the fact that your phone and computer are not reliable partners in crime
