    This was true for me too. A big part they left out was that you would need to develop skills for the career you wanted - whether that happened in school or not. If your career interest is in computers, but your education interests are in medieval history, make sure you have some computer skills to offer future employers and let your degree put you at the top of the candidate pool.

    But still yeah this whole process was screwed from the start. Everybody has degrees now and most careers use it as a barrier to entry rather than a leg up.




  • These threads are full of people making the straight-up weakest arguments for destroying nature…

    “…but privacy and noise!”

    Ugh, just take all that money you would have spent on the ridiculous driveways, extra lengths of road, utilities, and lawn care and put it into higher quality building materials for the apartments/townhouses.

    We build crap quality places in the US and all I hear from my fellow countrymen is “we can’t (or don’t want to) do it any other way”.






  • Yeah I actually thought she wouldn’t ever officially do it unless it was being timed and pre planned to occur just after the debate in order to have maximum impact. Which - I would guess that it was. Not that it’s a bad thing.

    Anyway I didn’t think she would because I’m certain she lost some fans tonight - deciding to step into this race in such a major way. And the cynic in me thought she was more interested in money and wouldn’t risk her image. I’m glad I was wrong.











  • I hope nobody ever forgets this man or the awful things he wrought upon the country and world. I hope his name becomes synonymous with idiot, fuckup, corrupt, or just plain king dumbass.

    I want society to reflect on his life and presidency as such a failure that his most ardent supporters and enablers find themselves incapable of being seen in public for fear of intense, unending ridicule.

    I hope history books being written today adequately portray him in such a way that even MAGA teachers feel incapable of defending him to their students. I hope the fascist third of American society is faced with the reality of their choices and that it follows them until the end of their days.
