"What do you mean 'started'?"

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I want to clarify that I'm talking about open mass-killings in the vein of Sharpeville or Bloody Sunday.

Reading and seeing the public's reactions to things like the gassings and beatings at pro-Palestine encampments, BLM protestors getting run over, Kyle Rittenhouse's victims, etc. it seems like the American people take an open and ghoulish delight in protestors getting brutalized, maimed, and killed. Go to any video or article about these things happening, and the comments section is an endless parade of the worst people imaginable cheering and hollering for it with extremely little or no pushback. It's depressingly consistent.

It just gives me this horrible feeling that one day the police are going to unload into a crowd of protestors and leave a mass of bodies in their wake, the American people will hoot and clap and cheer about how the victims got what they deserved, and that'll become the new MO. The only reason they aren't already doing this is fear it might make them look bad, and if it doesn't end up making them look bad in the eyes of the public, then there isn't a single thing stopping them.

I was going to a Community College but then I got told to kick sand for fiananical aid and... now Im not able to go to school anymore :/ (long story there made short, tried everything I could but nothing worked out)

I've been working on getting some coursera certificates and studying for the CompTIA certificate but I'm wondering if I'm even going to have a shot at landing a job without a degree to help me out.

I know about Windows Server Management (worked a shit ton with VMs in classes) daily drive Linux, do some real amateur game development on the side on my own so I know how to code, not great but I have experience there. Any advice on how to give myself a better shot?

Should mention that I do live in a big ass blue state city if thats helpful, and I am trans-fem but I seem to pass well enough to not get misgendered but still a little weary about putting myself out there >_>

is it just wanking? If so, why are people talking about it

Edit - turns out that yes, it is just wanking lol

Edit Edit - honestly, I find it strange that so many of these things have special words. 'edging' , 'creampie' , and now 'gooning'. These are all very mundane activities, lads

This is something that has been bothering me from the start of the so called SMO. Europe relied on gas flowing through Ukraine pipelines. Couldn't Russia just have stopped the flow, and forgone the war?

World communism achieve tomarrow. You need to use all the combined state capacity of the world to deal with climate change and doing socialism. Is this capacity distributed in a useful way? Is there a time limit before it decreases below useful levels?

basically how much time do we have?

My mind first goes to arabic, falafel and hummus is basically eating beans on beans. Maybe add some bread with a bean stew and you're really just eating a lot of beans.

Or maybe it's something more asian, miso broth, tofu, soy sauce or something? Maybe dumplings with bean fillings? I'm really not well versed on specific asian cuisines here but it feels like you could eat lots and lots of bean on bean on bean.

What other contenders might there be?

Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you love with a burning passion based on more than vibes. Very preferably not large.

A good example is Cathode Ray Dude, who makes long videos on older technology. He doesn't seem to have done anything reactionary, he's got a personality far beyond "the algorithm", and he doesn't associate with any terrible people. And I enjoy his videos.

It's somewhat obvious that AI is going to be used to replace workers, as much as possible, so what do you think is the best way unions (or worker orgs in general) should deal with it?

Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you hate with a burning passion based on vibes alone. I am aware that youtubers are an inherently reactionary group of organisms ^[it-is-known ], but some suck at statistically significant levels.
