He wrote a 20 page fucking paper hahahahah

Pressure got to her. Sad that it had to get so unignorably awful to get to this point, but so it goes.

I don’t know about favorite, but I keep coming back to “If-” by Rudyard Kipling at different points in my life.

The book is (mostly) hard scifi, though one with an emphasis on character development. In contrast, the movie is an unlikely buddy comedy meets scifi. They’re very different and while the movie is a faithful adaptation, if the scifi stuff interests you I’d recommend prioritizing the book first.

This reads like something out of Stephen King novel. Thanks for sharing.

Hemming and hawing over genocide is disgusting.

If both sides are doing it…

Worse, they are controlled opposition

Insightful comment, thanks. The frustrating part for me is that the media has a tendency to parrot his talking points without directly challenging them in the same breath. That allows his narrative to take hold (especially when it is backed by other members of the government) and steer popular opinion in his favor.

Yea, it almost looked like the FTS attempted to activate, but failed to destroy the missile.

Yea, I am a big fan of Mamdani, but seeing the wider state of “the left” in the US, I do not think he will be able to have the impact we would all like to see. I sort of see him as another AOC/Bernie for now, at least until he starts successfully achieving material changes.

Those two are a shining example of how the Democratic party has enabled the growth of facism in this country. If you stand for nothing but party donors then you become complicit in whatever results from your inaction.

So, um Uh, my, uh, my current mental health is, is rapidly approaching, um, an ATL Which is, um, that’s an all-time low Not, not Atlanta

While I have not lived in the south I do have some deeply religious and conservative family members, so I do see where you’re coming from. I just think even a good chunk of the people you mentioned have an affiliation to fit in and not because they are genuinely religious, i.e. pray regularly and go to church every Sunday. In other words, it’s a cultural thing. They probably wouldn’t go so far as to consider themselves atheist, but I could easily see them considering themselves culturally Christian and non-religious in practice. I have no idea what percentage that actually breaks down to, but my guess is it’s a decent amount lower than 70%.

Yea, similarly there is no way 70% of Americans are Christian. That’s probably just the way they are raised and are likely to fill out if you don’t feel comfortable saying “atheist”.

Yes, starting with a pilot program that puts one store in each borough and growing from there.

We’re talking about cuts to Earth and space science missions here, not defense. How is cutting fundamental scientific research “major progress for humanity”?

Look up ALG language learning. That’s the best way to learn languages.
