Similar story of my own: Had a middle school computer teacher who told us to use "File -> Open URL" on Internet Explorer/Netscape (can't remember which) which opened a prompt window with a text field to enter in a URL. And I pointed out that you can just use the address bar and do the same thing and she angrily told me that I had to do it the proper way. While I thought she wasn't looking, I used the address bar anyway. She apparently had been trying to spy if I disobeyed, caught me, and told me that I failed the assignment (I did not even know I was being graded).

Another different computer teacher at my high school I had seemed to more or less admit she had no idea what she was doing (she originally taught a different subject, she seemed legitimately nervous/insecure about possibly losing her job) though she tried by just reading the text book to us verbatim for a few days. Eventually, she gave up and the students just taught each other computer stuff in her class, then when they ran out of things to teach each other they just played Age of Empires all class and the she let us.

I have this problem with a bunch of new hires.

sometimes there is no step by step guide and you need to exercise judgement and make some decisions on your own.

They probably think they aren't paid enough to care so much to actually exert mental effort beyond strict requests and step by step and don't expect to have a future to look forward to so why worry about progressing in a career?

Because that's how I treat my job. I don't get paid nearly enough to try beyond the absolute bare fucking minimum.

I don't like Asmon but my understanding is he supports SKG. Am I wrong?

Also I saw a clip of SomeOrdinaryGamers, which indicated that he tempered his support with a dash of (wrong) both-sides-ism. But it was only a clip.

In my experience, when a man complains about their 'men' problems to anyone online they're given the treatment grueling_spool is describing by both men and women.

But in more "insulated" face to face conversations its pretty varied/mixed. I suspect this is mostly an "all to all" online conversation effect. There are people who are absolutely ruthless online towards men complaining about problems men specifically face and they will find complaining men and mock them.

I only use this account while at work and largely don't use any social media outside of schedules of face to face meet ups.

I read plenty, just not what you read probably.

I'd be cool with that.

Social constructs aren't practical.

You called me a tankie for the sole reason that I said that Fascism and Stalinism are distinct ideologies and not interchangeable terms.

Maybe you aren't a tankie, but if there was a verifiable test for the disease, I'd bet money you have it on that basis + the .ml yeah.

Not for defending Stalinism, not even for saying it’s not as bad as Fascism, just for saying it’s a different ideology.

because you see me say Stalinism and Fascism are different and just assume that I’m defending stalinism

Don't play dumb. You are engaging in defensive apologia.

Don’t care, labels are descriptive, not a personal affectation.

No shit? I don't embrace the label was listed as specific evidence that I wasn't a liberal because liberals don't care if they are called a liberal. I'd claim bad reading comprehension but that would imply you are capable of growth, its clear you have an ideological myopia and don't want to engage in good faith.

In desert heat. Humidity is a thing.

I simply avoid actively educating myself on current affairs now. It still seeps to me through internet and casual socializing osmosis. I let the news come to me.

I'm done being the guy in the office/cafe/bar who brings up politics unless I'm really desperate for a topic of conversation.

That said, people do seem to bring up politics to me now, which has been fairly disarming. I was always the initiator before November 5th. Normies are reacting now that shit is negatively effecting them. I've still not encountered any anti-Harris lefties IRL only online. Fucking cowards.

Fascism and Stalinism are not the same.

People who unironically support Stalinism in the modern day are red fascists. Whether they are technically the exact same thing or not isn't a meaningful discussion considering the commentary that Sanders is offering here. He is specifically operating within the context of modern American politics. Something average academic/armchair/larpy leftists are often completely fucking incapable of. His main use of analogizing Stalinism with Trumpism is the Cult of Personality not that they are literally the exact same thing. It is exhausting that this needs to be explained.

Sanders use of the term as a political slur wrongly directed at Trump confuses the issue, and ultimately gives capitalism a pass for its own crisis.

How does it give a pass to capitalism? Sanders himself would agree that capitalism contributed to Trumpism.

This is a deliberate falsification that is calculated to confuse political consciousness and hinder the development of revolutionary conclusions.

This is a level of paranoia suggesting actual brain damage, seek medical attention.
