They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to just see them
Your tree museum only costs a dollar and a half? Where do you live and can I move there?
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
anyone else feeling worse post election?
ohhh wow cruise liner stock is up, i hope they all sink to the bottom of the ocean.
How fucking nuts would that be though. They straight up forgive student debt via executive order after haranguing the left for MONTHS during the primaries with "HoW dO yOu PaY fOr iT?" rhetoric, and then turn around and just fucking do it anyway.
I'll take the debt relief, but holy shit, talk about bad faith.
we are gonna be playing monkey's paw game for four years: Dems forgive student loan debt up to 50k, but in exchange they grind grandma into pink paste, and cut social security.
That's why I support refunding student loans. If someone gets scammed the scammer shouldn't just be required to cancel the outstanding balance, they should be required to refund anything they already stole.
This is how I feel about the drug war. The people that perpetrated it should be charged with war crimes.
Time really got away from me and I didn't check in my grad class and turns out I had something due yesterday and I'm jokerfied.
I found out earlier today a paper I'm working on for tomorrow is 20 pages minimum I am...caffeinating.
WOW what is the purpose of a 20 page paper?! At that point you might as well start writing a thesis statement!
this class is absolutely nuts, this is the fifth assignment and I think my shortest was six pages and longest was 18. He just increased the maximum page limit from 40 to 50 because I guess someone asked. Okay, hold on, it gets worse: I also found out today that when I present this tomorrow night, there will be actual outside professionals as a jury. Like, I can't even half-ass it because People Who Matter are there and not just my classmates. I'm going second.
edit: like I read the brief for this assignment 2 weeks ago and thought, nbd, can do it in 3 hours. Missed the page minimum, and here we are.
Can I know what field? I think 20 page minimum and presenting in class is just ridiculous. I'll say this: Outline your stuff, just stay focused on paragraph structure and you can knock this out. Lastly, Zotero is great for citation management.
I'll keep it nonspecific but I can use mapping software which is helping me fill out the page assignment now that I've cribbed as much as I can from my prior assignments. I now have to make maps, which while pretty time intensive do take up quite a lot of page space. I just need to justify a minimal number of maps and write a conclusion and I think I'm there. Thankfully, my citations from the prior assignments are in good order, so I'm just pasting those in where needed, but I will def keep Zotero in mind for my next assignment (due in 2 weeks)
Because Marx considered his works an artistic whole which could not be reduced, I will now be quoting the German ideology in its entirety.
It’s a grad class. Just tell your professor you had a deadline from your job or PhD advisor or your kid was sick.
I just knocked out a 4 page paper in less than 3 hrs lol. She has been fairly understanding with deadlines, I just feel shitty that it won't be my best work (I'm a nerd and an overachiever).
I still have nightmares about this situation even though I'm well out of college
Cuba is one of very few countries actually attempting to move in the right direction in regards to fighting climate change but it's going to be one of the first and worst hit. Complete bullshit
In april when I was doom spiraling I was predicting over a million deaths due to covid in the US.
Feels really shitty to watch it just unfold before me
btw I think my covid has passed, which is a relief
I gazed into the abyss of the r/politics thread about the rat getting a cabinet position. Man is it frustrating seeing so many libs swoon over him.
Controversial is an eclectic mix of people shitting on him and others saying they hope he's Harris' VP in 2024, so that's fun. If that happens I drive to South Bend and beat the shit out of every person who voted this asshole mayor.
Dude got smarmy on Fox News twice and every Warrenista I know got a diamond-tipped erection for him. (As could have been predicted.)
Because there probably won't be a useful option in the 2024 primary, I hope he runs against VP Girlboss. I want to see the KHive go nuclear.
It's like he was created in a lab experiment to make the perfect lib. Says all the things that make liberals feel all warm and fuzzy, but past that veneer is a complete corporate ghoul.
My memories of the primary had kind of faded with the presidential race and covid, but now they're coming back. "Medicare for all who want it" That thing where the lights totally randomly went out when he was speaking. I hate it all.
California went 64.6% for Biden and went the wrong way on nearly every proposition. A reminder that prop 22 (the anti-labor ride-share one) requires a 7/8th supermajority to overturn and Kamala’s brother in law led it. And her niece works at Uber on its diversity and inclusion team.
Uber still won't ever be profitable - this had to be the end goal of the billionaires who've let them set so much money on fire.
Uber isnt meant to be profitable directly. Its meant to shake the entire sector and erode workers protections
what @penguin_von_doom said. I’ve seen the writing on the wall of every job getting uberfied to save the owning class on benefit payouts.
it seems like if you can use legal chicanery to make something impossible to revoke you can also use legislative chicanery to revoke it.
Chapos, if you're in DSA, join your Political Education committees and push Left! (Not necessarily ML or Anarchist, just away from liberal entryism.) The theoretical struggle within the Big Tent is a struggle we can win. And maybe, just maybe, we can start redirecting DSA toward dual power. I've read an advance copy of the Belden program, and it looks doable.

He saw this coming, he spoke to it many times. There is no way in hell his team approached this like a standard election. I am 100% certain there is a huge amount of evidence being compiled and the traps that were set are being examined. It just takes time to properly analyze and assess their finds.
The amount of cope in this TheDonald thread is amazing.
Oh wow the wet brained former mayor of New York sounds confident. Guess it’s in the bag.
honestly if this shit is true I'd be 100% down for the ride
we'd get seething conservatives AND libs and id be no more jokerfied.
Not even a week into his lameduck session. This is gonna fucking rule.

The Dems are gonna start downplaying covid, because they know biden isn't going to do anything about it, watch yourselves out there just cause this country is stupid doesn't mean you should be too
