    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.








  • 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.





  • This thread seems to be downplaying the effectiveness of guns. Obviously, given the cancerous gun culture being what it is, there’s no way I’ll be able to convince anyone who’s already decided that guns aren’t a problem.

    Just for the rest of the world, I’m just going to point out that there are sane folks here in the US who fully recognize that guns are definitely the problem and aren’t going to point to the ludicrous notion of “a car or a bomb” as the next obvious substitute for firearms mowing down children in classrooms across the country.






  • 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.
