Let's put it this way: I'm a very smart person, and I can't give a specific definition for Deplorable. I can't even think of easy examples. The first thing that comes to mind is Jews in the Holocaust. It's so complex that to most people it really just means bad. It failed because nobody fucking knows what it means.

I don't think I could run 12K today, that's pretty solid. But also, you gotta get those numbers up, those are rookie numbers, in high school I ran 19K or so in one day. Which I assume took me 2 hours at least, since I never ran a sub 20 minute 5K or anything close to it. Watch out for bone splints though, they're no joke.

If the news people are more online than the trans people, surely this means the news people lost, right?

You should make yourself financially bulletproof first, and have some investments. You'll have to do real work, which might not be something you're used to doing. Don't delude yourself that it'll be easy, your current job is undoubtedly easier than teaching.

But that said, yes you should, if it's not stupid for you to do it. You can't help change the system by helping capitalists, the best thing a leftist can do is either join a union or become a teacher. Pick a job to make money, or to help society. The middle ground exists purely to make losers feel better about existing inside capitalism.

Is Matt ever coming back? Did we ever find out what happened to him? Is he, like, paralyzed from the neck down? If your job is just bullshitting with your friends to begin with, why would anybody need to take a full year off? I assume he's been out of the hospital for several months at least, right?

He's essentially the straight man, and unfortunately most of the guests he's brought on for the past year were also straight man types. Chapo was better with 2 dedicated goofball slots, but without Matt that's a very hard thing to get.

Why no label for the knives and guns?

Just discovered that only 13 Nazis were actually executed, along with 20 life sentences. There were also 100 or so who ended up serving 5-10 years. Always thought it was much higher, seems like the execution number should have been at least 1000.

You really need to get professional help, if that situation got you actively suicidal. Don't wait for another episode, at that point you won't want to reach out. That is a major overreaction to someone being a major asshole towards you. There will always be people who are shitty to you, but you can't give them that sort of power over you. You still control how you react to them.

I didn't say she was a bad lady? I'm not saying to say it as an attack, I'm saying you need to clarify which version of imperfection is preferable to her, and fail on that side. She shouldn't be getting on you about 8 hours of work taking 8.5 sometimes, that's how the service industry always is.

You need to handle your stress better. A good way that ive found is to think of yourself like a rock in a stream when you feel stressed out. You are immovable, things just happen around you while you handle whatever work is needed of you. Full on defensive zen. You won't make forward progress when you're a rock, but you also won't lose any. Bring to mind whatever is true, and accept it as true. When you dont need to be a rock, you can work on changing that truth, but until then, it simply IS true.

Also, it's not that hard to become a teacher, if you have a bachelor's degree. And if you want to sub, there are zero qualifications afaik. Would be a good place to startits probably a better job than you have now.
