To frame this from a different perspective: practice makes perfect. There's nothing against doing this as many times as it takes. And if things stay this shitty and chaotic going into the midterms, they may well develop the political machinery needed to make it actually happen.
It's a long shot. It's cope, probably. But goddamn it, I like to see them at least try.
Okay. Do the investigations. If he's guilty, fuck em. If not, then cool.
You don't have to compile. You don't need semicolons.
Python was my first programming language, and those two things alone honestly are really nice. Doesn't mean there aren't a million other issues and difficulties, though, lol.
Thank you. I was like... I bet one of these is Kropotkin. But fuck me if I knew which dude it was lol
Typing into the void, yay!
If the story here is told in earnest, I can think of two possible solutions.
First, perhaps the "being a jerk" thing might be conflated with some other change, such as simply being more assertive or socially confident in general. See if you can be confident and assertive without the "jerk". Think aggressively supportive or unflinchingly complimentary ("Hey, you're looking really nice, and I hope you have a nice day!" Or "I noticed you've been working on X really hard, and the progress is showing!").
Second, use your newfound social connections to your advantage! Talk with the girls about how you've been feeling, and then ask them if they would be able to introduce you to one of their friends that might enjoy the version of you that feels like you.
Both of these paths will take courage! It's tough to be vulnerable when you're already accustomed to social disappointment. But if you can get this far, go a little further and you just might find some real and profound happiness for yourself.
"naturalism"?
It's in quotes, so it's probably not referring to scientific methodological naturalism, or philosophical naturalism. Anybody have a guess what they are referring to in terms of a relationship to fascism?
If a book or game seems too big and daunting (cuz yeah of course those are huge commitments!), you could always shoot for something smaller in scale. Like short poetry or short stories for writing, or maybe a small Minecraft mod to get your feet wet with the development side of things (or whatever moddable game you currently enjoy).
I'm not good at either, so I can't help much further than that. But hopefully starting small seems more doable?
I dunno. I watched the Witcher season one adaptation and thought it was pretty good. I don't remember any "education" or overt political messaging.
Seems like bog standard conservative chud hot take to me. But I could be wrong.
I was gonna say! They're replacing conferencing software with... diagramming software?
But hey Msft tried to steal "office" and "windows", so fuck em.
We should be wary of any corpo media, esp when owned by billionaires.
That said, a lot of the value of a news medium is simple consensus. Basic observations carry more weight as having actually happened when more news orgs independently verify one another. And most of that work is being done by genuine, professional journalists.
Be discerning with your media consumption, but I would recommend against writing off entire institutions unless the reporting is so consistently awful that it's not worth the energy to sift wheat from chaff - e.g., Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, etc etc. I don't think the WaPo has reached that level of shitty (yet).
And a bag of cocaine! Or maybe that's the gloves, lol.
Por que no los dos?
