and it looks like I got on an anti-ukraine list somehow?

Quite possible you just rubbed someone the wrong way. Wil Wheaton used to put anyone who sent him 'shut up, Wesley' on the gamergate list.

The Mask, and I turned out just fine

 

You have to let the fascists have a turn every few years, otherwise it wouldn't be a real Democracy!

What a strange question

Hit yourself in the testicles with a cartoon mallet, then rethink your priorities

His outpouring of dismay when Cameron won in 2015 was a real salve. It was a good podcast.

He was always hesitant to attack Chavez on The Bugle iirc (for a lib)

Many such cases. Something really needs to be done about it.

Tbh that is possibly the stupidest political compass I have ever seen

If you've managed to hold onto those friendships, I'd say that's a very good thing. It gets harder to make friends as you get older — 'hanging out' stops being a thing as the pressure of getting by in this hellscape mounts. Nurture those relationships, because they are precious!

Orly? I might have to look into that

I'm currently daily driving a 2011 MacBook Pro running Arch, and it does surprisingly well. I mean, the screen is a weird resolution, the battery life sucks, and it gets very hot, but other than that ...

Speaking as a parent, I can say that all babies are born Libertarian. Even liberal education systems understand that they need that shit socializing out of them at an early age

 

... and now I'm job-hunting in earnest and jfcsstrrssfgchujbgfryhgftyhgerswww. I hope this is the right place to vent about this sort of thing, but I'm feeling so incredibly stressed and frustrated because I really want to change careers (TEFL teaching is a dead end, and the conditions have got so much worse in recent years) and I know I could do a junior frontend job perfectly well — I've put so much with into getting good at it in my own time — but it's beginning to dawn on me that there's basically no way in to the industry unless you know someone who can help you get a foot in the door.

I don't know where I'm going with this tbh — I just needed to vent somewhere — but it would be nice to hear any advice anyone can offer, or even just the lamentations of anyone with similar experiences...

 

I'm pretty good at picking things up from context, so I'm gonna say a tankie is someone opposed to the deployment of tanks against a captive civilian population, the police having tanks, and tanks' worth of tear gas being used on peaceful protestors?

(please don't reply with earnest answers to my question, thx)

EDIT - some of y'all are failing to follow this last instruction smdh
