You can go to a right-leaning college and get plenty of right-leaning propaganda to go with it. The thing I was "indoctrinated" in was religious hypocrisy which is why I left in the first place.

Harris would also be the first female president and also the first woman of color to be president so we can check that box and stop worrying about it. Hillary's hubris with wanting to be the first female president blinded her.

I understand that I have a parasocial relationship with the guy seeing that I've never actually met him and I've been watching his content for well over a decade but the sheer amount of work that he has put into educational content speaks for itself. He and John are also a big part of my journey out of a cult and into acceptance of my queer identity. If anyone deserves praise for helping people learn, it's Hank and John.

Google search has enshittified far faster than I ever thought possible. It used to work like magic. Too bad capitalism dictates that usefulness has a ceiling.

I admire the students that are setting up book clubs for banned books. They are recognizing that they are being given a list of what they should read.

I feel that destroying it has garnered more attention for TST than they would have received had it been left alone.

Millennial here. I've always found random sex scenes obnoxious. It completely kills the pacing and pulls me out of the story. If you need sex for character development, you can much more easily allude to it and move on. The only time I can think of when it actually made sense for the story was in the movie Her and it was such a mild scene that didn't have any visuals.

Not seeing the option "Because fuck Microsoft"

In all seriousness tho, I use Firefox because it's not reskinned Chrome.

My hubby went in for an interview and was told he got the job so he told his other prospective employers that he was no longer interested. Before he could arrange a start date, they ghosted him. He tried to call but it went to an outsourced helpdesk that told him they would create a ticket and he would get a call back. No call after several days. He physically went into the place and the hiring manager seemed flustered that he was there and told him they would contact him. After two weeks from when he was told he would get the job, he finally got a hold of the guy he interviewed with and was told they gave the position to someone else because he was "unreachable".

Problems like this are the reason why I don't hold loyalty to any company unless they've proven their competency. The ones that are good rarely hire because the employees don't want to leave.

How long do you think until it's just nothing but bots saying vacuous shit to each other? Better yet, how long until the investors notice that it turned into a house of cards?

~~the government just confirmed aliens are real~~ another hack job with government connections is claiming that he was told by government official that alien "biologics" and space craft were recovered by the government without being able to provide evidence or details because it is "classified"

What a nothingburger

This is what the fediverse was created for. Casual transphobia doesn't need to be permitted and I fully support that.
