No one knows when you entered college. You could have taken a year off between hs and college. No one will know that you had to retake classes either. You’re over thinking it. You’re not the last person to do it, you don’t know where everywhere else is at.

I used Skype a couple of times - I was talking to someone overseas. This was pre zoom. It’s interesting that they dropped the ball, they could have been zoom.

It’s helping me understand how I think so that I can create frameworks for learning, problem solving, decision making etc. I’m neurodivergent.

People are afraid to question their belief systems because it will create an identity crisis, and most people can’t psychologically deal with it. So it’s all self preservation.

Yup. We’re all susceptible to joining a cult. No one willingly joins a cult, their group slowly morphs into one.

You’re banned for inciting violence.

This isn’t even a theoretical question. We saw it live in the last us elections. Fox News, TikTok, WaPo etc. are owned by right wing media and sane washed trump. It was a group effort. You need to be suspicious not only of the internet but of tv and newspapers too. Old school media isn’t safe either. It never really was.

But I think the root cause is that people don’t have the time to really dig deep to get to the truth, and they want entertainment not be told about the doom and gloom of the actual future (like climate change, loss of the middle class etc).

Questioning beliefs takes a lot of time and courage. Very few people do it.

It’s not even America first. It’s Trump and maybe the .00001% first and fuck everyone else.

Does that work in Firefox? Seems like I don’t have the ability to edit the address.

Robots are taking over our jobs… did folks who work is sewers make good money because it wasn’t a pleasant job?

I haven’t seen a commercial in years, but what I can speak about is the random us flags. Is this for July 4th or is it to support Trump? My grocery store sells so many sizes now and they’re so cheap. It’s the cheapest thing they have.

What’s going on in France? I assume y’all have the same problems as the rest of Europe?

When it comes to people’s behavior always trust your gut.

And that like a virus were infecting other countries. I wonder why it’s so effective…. Why so many countries are having this issue - is it the effects of covid? Capitalism?

What’s wrong with it?

My state allows for mail in voting. My problem was that I was always stuck in survival mode. I couldn’t take care of my basic needs, there was no room for civic duties. It’s like I was in a trance. The problem is having to work too many hours, plus commute.

The bullet ballots were such a statistical anomaly. They should have been investigated/double checked.

I’ll tell you why I didn’t used to vote. I worked too many hours and was emotionally exhausted all of the time. I didn’t have hobbies or interests or energy to do anything else. My personal life was a complete mess. I didn’t have friends or relationships either. I ate poorly and didn’t exercise. All I literally did was work. I suspect a lot of people were in my shoes.

But consequences aren’t supposed to affect him. That’s why his identity is wealth.
