I guess I find it confusing because (for me), the term liberal was used as a synonym for a lefty. I know left of US “liberals” don’t like liberals, but that’s more of a recent revelation to me

Fuck off Benny. Either answer the question or move on if you have no desire to have a conversation


I think the world liberal is used… Liberally. I usually equate it in the US political term for left of center (or rather the opposite of conservatives), but I know the entire US political system is hijacked - both “sides” answer to the same overlords


Why do you use the liberal label? I’ve been hearing this “China bad” shit from the right for years


My experience has been that computer science is a huge umbrella term to normies. Many people, including hiring managers seem to thing computer science is more of a trade education where people come out knowing everything about excel, windows, PowerPoint, file conversions, obscure knowledge of ancient software, expertise in setting up enterprise printers, etc
I was developing software for a position I was in, and everyone was shocked I was a developer… (It was a devops job where everyone basically edited yaml or json files all day long…)


People who disagree with you are people who never spent time with the ultra rich. I’ve had the pleasure to hang in those circles and it was absolutely eye opening the complete disdain that social class has toward the working class. It’s so fucking crazy that one has to see it for themselves to truly appreciate the hate they have for everyone not in their economic circles.
Preach on brother, but I also understand why the plebs don’t believe you


Republicans live in blue states also


But are the wine producers Republicans? I tend to find they are


We spent way more than one Trillion…


Class solidarity of the top 10%. They own the media, they want the Republican agenda of tax cuts, deregulation and whatever else make them more individually wealthy.
It’s bottom ~70% who can’t seem to figure out what class solidarity is
Nice guy and “nice guy” are two different things


Never underestimate the stupidity and mental gymnastics of conservatives


I can’t speak to “emotional state”, but the thottening is a real thing (I’ve spent weeks trying to stop having all these ass models from cluttering up my feed, it’s impossible)


I’m convinced insta knows your a guy and will blast you with reels full of chicks no matter what you do.


Right - first option survive the storm, next option… Murder? Steal? Pillage? (I’m stretching what you said, but it was implied). This is the very possible future we all might be living in, so again to OP’s point about spiting your nose/face. Basically I find the moves of Trump to be catastrophic and the potential of where it might lead us is… Horrific


I’ll take a stab at it:
-There won’t be another job for him to take (see first point).
-He makes shit money so he has nothing saved up.
-social nets and government help is being systematically wiped out.
-It’s the streets now, and for many others like him. Where does this lead? Massive uptick in crime, and a lot of crime everywhere. Everyone is fucked - those who currently care and those who currently don’t care.


It’s not like he really does anything except golfs, eats McDonald’s, possibly gropes or sexually assaults young girls (some habits are hard to break - grab them by the pussy right?). He doesn’t read, doesn’t think - he basically signs whatever heritage foundation and his rich friends put in front of him to sign.


My guy, everything has changed and yet nothing has changed. You are arguing specifics while I’m arguing bigger picture. I’m not saying your wrong or I’m wrong, I just think we have a different view and measuring with a different kind of ruler, and yet I don’t think we are really in disagreement, this seems to be arguing over semantics of what videos were in ~95 (very low res and shit quality fyi) and how many people had access to those shit quality videos - I’m just saying they were always there
Conservatives hate knowledge, learning is toxic to them. Also the people who start with burning books usually end up burning people eventually
