I am in constant awe of how these people are incapable of pointing the finger towards the issue here.

I am aware that maga is a cult, but we have reached the point where Trump and the Republicans are openly, brazenly committing acts that their own supporters disagree with. How much more obvious does the situation need to become before people start placing the blame where it belongs?

Socializing is exhausting. I usually have a couple of people besides my girlfriend that I chat with, and it's more than enough for me.

I understand that socializing is an important aspect of life. I'm certain there's all sorts of papers detailing the benefits of it, but I do also think it's important to learn to be comfortable spending time by yourself.

Reddit? Nah that's literally every platform.

You probably don't want that answer.

Feels bad to realize your profession isn't particularly useful outside of the U.S. I'd like to stay and fight regardless, but the reality is if I stop being able to get my meds there won't be much I can do besides being fodder.

a lot of Asia is aware they need immigration to succeed,

While this is true, it doesn't necessarily mean they're open to it or that the immigration process is any easier for it.

as for Europe Spain is he most friendly to immigrants

I've heard that attitude is changing due to gentrification issues. Lots of remote workers have taken to the country and cost of living has apparently risen up in response.

I'm not entirely sure about either of these personally though(insight from people who live there would be wonderful), but I have heard about about the issues.

It's something to keep in mind.

Don't alienate those 36.32%. I'm sure some of us have strong feelings about their choices, but at the end of the day they outnumber Democrats and Republicans each by quite a bit. If you want to see change you are going to have to convince some of them to join you. This goes for elections and this goes for revolutions.

Yeah I'm not here for this. I just felt this massive wave of fatigue wash over me as I read it.

Like it or not you're going to run into weirdos in just about every hobby. All preemptively judging people does is teach people to keep to themselves. We're already building up a society of loners where people struggle to connect to each other with various other causes(loss of third places for example). We don't really need something like this pushing people further apart, especially when that ultimately drives peoples empathy for each other down too.

Had to check which community I was in to make sure I wasn't in the Onion one.

I used to be the pride of my family for having finished college. Now it's demonized by them.

I feel for the students of today. College was an important time for me. I experienced a lot of new ideas, my mind was opened. I didn't get to do much in grad school, but my first four years of college changed me and I wouldn't be the same without those experiences. The way the situation is escalating we may see colleges completely locked down or even abolished.

All you do is a quick search on the case to see if it’s real or not.

You could easily. We have resources such as LexusNexus or Westlaw which your firm should be paying for. Even searching on Google Scholar should be enough to verify. Stay away from Casetext though, it's new and mostly AI. LN and WL also have AI integration but it's not forced, you're still capable of doing your own research.

I've been telling people this for a while, but everyone needs to treat AI like how we used to treat the wiki. It's a good secondary source that can be used to find other more reliable sources, but it should never be used as your single standalone source.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it, AI is being forced everywhere you look and it is getting a bit difficult to get away from it, but it hasn't taken over everything to the point where there is no longer any personal responsibility. People need to have some common sense and double check everything as they've been taught to do even before AI.

Nah, it's too late for that. Other leaders are starting learn this too. You keep giving in so Trump asks for more, and then more. Nothing will ever be enough for him.

This is no longer about swallowing your pride and appealing to his enormous ego.
