Also some people no matter how intelligent just can’t fully grasp a new language. They can become functionally fluent but never academically perfect

You can spend 200 years listening to a language, but if you dint try to understand it you never will

My city owns all our utilities. Works the same, arguably more reliable

This isn’t a choice issue. It should be state owned and operated in a non-profit capacity, and everyone should pay their fair share.

Huge news for diabetes, but I’m more excited about the potential applications this type of treatment has. So many possibilities

So it seems people don’t like ads on their vibratory which means they are viewing them. Let’s wait a couple of years for the anger to die down then do it again.

The effect is still the same these companies are given access to my personal information because the government wants to monitor our activity online

Exactly, I’d argue kids are the most likely to go to lengths to circumvent the rules

Forget tax havens, eventually some countries will probably become content havens and sell server space hosted there. Probably some carribean island

And here I am going to get a MA in Archaeology lol.
It’ll work out hopefully. I have been gainfully employed in the field off of just my BA, but Trump has basically ruined that job

My only hope for the future is that younger generations seem to not care about “political dynasties”. I’ll never understand the boomers obsession with ensure one family keeps power for generations. It doesn’t make sense

No need to come at me, the fact of the matter is the majority of people won’t take time. I’m take the time, but most won’t. If you want the biggest impact you’ll always draw the largest crowds on a weekend.
I don’t disagree with you I’m just being pragmatic. A protest of 1,500 is a bigger deal than a protest of 200. That’s the typical difference in my city with weekend vs weekday protests

I think the lead brained boomers are a lost cause.
The group to convince are the unengaged or those that just vote a certain way without putting much thought.
- Comment on Happy No-more-USA Day 5 weeks ago:
At least in my city we are fortunate that the government buildings are located at a key intersection. Weekdays we usually just get heckled by lead brained boomers. Weekends there are way more cars, a more diverse audience, and more support in general.
- Comment on Happy No-more-USA Day 5 weeks ago:
It just simply won’t have the same turnout. Frankly I think weekend protests are more visible since the average person is more likely to be out and about and not at their job.
I think making the people see it and then you pressure the politicians. The politicians don’t give a fuck if thousands of people are gathered outside a building.
I attend my local protests and take the time off to do so. The last no kings protests pulled well over 1,000. Other weekend protests typically pull around 300 - 400 people. Weekday protests typically pull barely 100, if we’re lucky 150 people. It just has less impact.

- Comment on Happy No-more-USA Day 5 weeks ago:
I still cannot fathom why they scheduled on a weekday for the next one. If you want turnout schedule for the weekends.
I know people should fo out regardless, but they have bills to pay. A lot of people can’t afford to miss a shift and vacation time is far too limited

I mean yeah, dying in a war isn’t high on my list of activities. The only way to fix this will probably be armed conflict, but I don’t see you starting the revolution right now either
