Definitely ask your advisor, but also, depending on your school, those credits may count towards your degree but cannot be used as a pre-requisite for another course.

Its true. But there was this brief, beautiful moment, during the early internet, where you could get good recommendations from YouTube…

So Stalin helped kill a buttload of Nazis which is nice.

And saying “under Chinese rule” is a weird way to state it. I mean, of course the Chinese people should rule themselves. Unless you’re butt hurt about China resisting the western colonial powers and murdering a bunch of capitalists.

Given the bad faith of your comment, I feel no need to elaborate, clarify, or provide nuance.

I started reading and was like “okay, sure buddy” then I remembered I have developed a lot of the same skills, including tracking wildlife.

And then I remembered the time I learned to identify clay deposits and to separate out the clay so I could build stuff with it.

So I thought: “wth, this is so weird! Ohh, they have ADHD too… That explains a lot”.

I wasn’t diagnosed at the time, when I was learning to find clay, but that should have been a sign lol

Basically what you said: those with the means get a fire sale during market crashes. So even if it isn’t the intention of the policies (unlikely) its still what will happen. And the rest of us (super majority) are worse off, more desperate, and will probably work for less pay.

So your solution is to sow more division by believing people who vote Republican are stupid? The same people who believe you are stupid for voting Democrat (or anyone else)? Interesting…

Maybe target the real problem: the system and the people who uphold it. Otherwise you are just a pawn of the wealthy.

Obviously the increased spending will come from all the countries they sanction once their production relocates to the US.

Just use a cheap face lotion to help with the dryness. To reduce the look of redness you can use an inexpensive anti-redness BB cream. Cheap lotion first, then BB cream (like garnier or something)

Even if this is true (which it definitely is for the liberal “democracies”) the scale of being untrustworthy, and the consequences of that, vary immensely.

He will likely release them to manufacture the consent required to dismantle, or at least retool, the fbi and cia so that he can further consolidate power.

It wouldn’t change my opinion tbh. Regardless of what is in the documents, the country is literally dripping with blood from the domestic and international assassinations, coups, genocides, etc… I’m not sure my opinion can be any lower, and it would take a miracle to improve it at this point.

Hes doing a fantastic job gaining loyalty from both the economic arm of the government (Musk, Bezos, etc) and the violent arm (police etc.).

The USSR obviously

This is good advice. As your skill and interest grow, you’ll be better able to understand what you like to photograph, what you need to be better at it, and what everything means and does. A DSLR can do a lot of photography decently without all the accessories and steep learning curve.

“Whatever individual action” indeed comrade

You could get a decent boomstick for 10k

How long would it take for the environmental cost (including CO2 emissions, and the inefficient use of resources associated with trying to live away from others) of the new building to be overcome by the savings in energy (and thus CO2 and associated environmental degradation involved in gathering those resources) when compared to just living in an already built house?

I’d wager that just maintaining an old house is better. Of course if you ignore everything else other than energy use and diverting something from a landfill, earth ships are very cool. Maybe not $10,000 either.

Its unclear whether one person building an earth ship instead of buying and maintaining an older house would make any positive environmental change.

Instead, if you took your $10,000 and partnered with others who have similar investments, you could build a small mixed use building which includes a couple shops on the ground floor, and dwellings on the next few floors (likely you would have enough combined to get a mortgage/loan to build). Why? Living in an apartment style building is going to be more efficient than any kind of single person dwelling (and you could use some of the earth ship ideas as well), having shops near homes would also help eliminate occasional car trips by having amenities right where you live. As a bonus, if this building was built for the investors to live in, you all now have equity and relatively low cost housing that is much easier to sell than an Earth ship in the middle of nowhere, should you ever need to move.

Hopefully the onion can eventually buy it at a steep discount too!

They’d stop believing people are stupid, especially those they disagree with, and realize that their differences are mostly made up by the ruling class to keep them in line.

I could see maybe getting it implemented outside the federal level, but in all honesty the slow change in culture that would develop from a new voting method wouldn’t be nearly enough to make the gigantic changes required, even if we are talking about keeping America capitalist.

If there were larger organizing efforts, much like that required to get ranked choice implemented, which had ranked choice as one of the demands, then yeah I could see big changes happen.

This is the real answer. When we are stressed, depressed, anxious, and feeling hopeless, we can either turn inwards and retreat from society, or we can lean into our friends, family, and community.

If you have no community, now is the time to build it. A lot of liberals will be desperate, and that means it’s a great time to shake off the lies of individualism (we are all individuals part of a community) and develop the truth of community. Otherwise this cycle will continue the way it always has.
