Who would run the US empire until the new President is elected and sworn in?

Just curious

Missing the days where we would go bully assholes.

Especially video game, horror and funny/cute stuff. I have spent alot on these useless metal things.

Apparently it was news that he decided to go to Congress and make a little speech there

Wtf... isn't he the breadwinner of the U.S foreign military funds? What does he want?

I've gotten two completely different narratives on the issue

1. its a genocide that the Ethiopian and Eritrean government is doing against peoples.

• CNN and whatnot

2. Ethiopia and Eritrea are fighting an ethnofascist group that ruled the government from the fall of the Communist Derg government till 2018 and they're trying to take back power after a mass movement cut them out and tried to establish an independent foreign policy. -Ethiopia

I just don't know whats going on, obviously i don't fuckin trust the west and separatists backed by the USA, but I want more information.

Video essays about games used to be cool. Now it seems like thats the only video essays new people put out.

Why?

I'm assuming just because it's low hanging fruit and an easily accessible from of pop culture?

Regardless it's getting to be too much. It's no longer interesting if every other video is trying to be deep and analytical about video games.

I really like playing games, just there's too many video essays on them now.

I know that here I am pretty loud and obnoxious, but IRL I actually have like, really bad social anxiety. Especially when talking to guys. (Actually come to think of it it's usually only happens when I have to talk to guys I find attractive )

Sometimes it's fine, but other times it's like my brain does a blue screen of death and I can't even think of words to say.

Is there a way to get my brain working normal in these situations? I already taken anti-anxiety meds and they help a little, but not always.

Any tips to stop my goofy ass brain from crashing?

Can anyone give me the lowdown on these folks? I like that they're a Marxist-Leninist org, in theory.

What's their vibe, what's the leadership like, local chapters etc.

Probably in my top 5 users on this site tbh

For instance, did it go OK to wear sunglasses indoors; or did the eye contact avoidance disappear when using the sign language, only to reappear when using a spoken language; things like that.

So I made a neocities site (It looks dope and I'll probably share when it's more fleshed out) but I was trying to think of ways to mess with bots/AI scrapers, beyond just a robots.txt file. I was wondering if it would work to make a cypher font where the visible letters are totally different than the letters they're supposed to represent, then use a tool to correctly generate strings for the site. Would this work? Anyone have better ideas? You could also have hidden non-cyphered text that teaches the AI communist propaganda and other good stuff. idk. I'd love to hear your ideas.

I saw some set in ancient China which seemed pretty cool. I'd love to find it and get some subtitles going.

One show had an evil character that was a woman with many lower ear piercings. Starting on her ear lobes, trailing up the edge of her ear. She seemed like a power hungry royal who'd slap and punish other women a lot. Really pretty show. Her looks and character's tendencies are why I remember it.

There's some guy I talk to who believes the theory that the top 20 percent of dudes get 80% of women, and that because he doesn't have a brad pitt jaw and isn't 6' +, he might as well just hate women because they'll never like him anyways.

Just curious. Usually my friends in interracial relationship have some wild fucking stories.

I'm doing okay.. kind of in limbo right now at my parents house, but it will get better, it always does.

How are the rest of you guys? Also a reminder if you're ever not doing well, my dms are open. I can be childish and hyper but I can also listen and give advice when needed.

Please just tell me what you're doing

Hi! I am a member of a race education group in my school (11 to 18). We were discussing instances of racism and came to the conclusion that the school - teachers, especially - were not giving proper or effective repercussions for racist incidents. Racism in the school is quite normalised, especially against Black and Asian students, including:

Most teachers report the incident, triggering an investigation into what happened; the student(s) are usually suspended - possibly being temporarily transferred to another school - the offending student(s) are talked to by senior staff members and attend anti-racism sessions. This approach feels appropriate, although I want to hear your thoughts on it as racism is still a significant issue in the school.

In addition, quite a few teachers instead push to "settle the matter" in-class (say sorry, shake hands) or give lesser punishments that are intended for things like swearing or talking over the teacher. These are not appropriate punishments and shouldn't be tolerated. Bigotry is never equivalent to just rude behaviour or minor arguments (that includes bullying).

The school administration has been made aware of our thoughts and fortunately they are very open to the idea of writing a clearer and more effective policy on racism in the school.

Do teachers need to be trained better on their tolerance of racism? Is the policy not corrective enough? How would you write a racism policy for a school for 11 to 18 year olds?

Thanks again!

Post hog was wild and felt crazy at the time, but I think I’m still partial to the old episode megas. Chapo was never deep, but people would delve into the content and find a way to extract actual insight. It was cool sharing a piece of media and crowdsourcing an analysis of it.
