Hard agree on this one (´・ω・`)

Yeah, what's with boomers and the need to add an emoji at the end if each message?

Makes sense, but couple clarifying questions:

By "ending careers for working with Obama", you mean the people mostly left over from Bill Clinton's time as president were threatening people within the Democratic party to not work with Obama?

Obama, rightfully pissed off made a stupid decision and allowed the neoliberals to hang onto the DNC.

Wait so, he was so mad at them that he.....let them keep power? That doesn't make sense. Can you shed any light on why he'd do that?

Man, that Victory Fund sounds corrupt as hell. Thanks for explaining things I was too immature/politically ignorant to pay attention to back in the day.

if you didn't play ball they bankrupted your entire state and let Republicans take it to punish you and set an example to get there states.

I don't think I follow the logic on this, most probably because I'm not sure which funds / fund pools you're referring to.

Could you explain what you mean a bit more ELI5 level?

I don't want to dismiss this as of no concern, but this article has no numbers nor rigorous attempts to measure the reading ability of students. Its just a few professors - probably (but not necessarily) representative of a large body of professors - complaining about their students not doing their assigned reading.

I'm not sure how many I speak for on this, but this feels like this article could have been written about my college cohort (mid to late millennial). I know I barely did the reading for my gen ed courses cause I didn't care about "History of the Near East" or "Mythology of New World Cultures". I remember saying to myself "I'm here to learn math and engineering, not stories old folks told around a camp fire a millennium ago". I'm not saying that's right (in fact I now believe quite the opposite) but I would have been one of these "illiterate kids" had I been sampled in my first year of college (despite having been an avid reader my whole life).

My guess would have been either Vesputia or just Vespia.

That latter ones sounds like a cool name for a dystopian retelling/alternate of the history of the New World.

Maybe the real rations were the enemies we made along the way

So I've got 6:

  • Nine inch nails
  • Alice in Chains
  • Matchbox 20
  • Radiohead
  • Smashing Pumpkins
  • Sound Garden

Unclear what the hole, the screaming trees, and the (jelly?) sandwich are, but I bet those are the other 3 I'm missing.

I actually prefer to microdit.

Yeah, but the learning curve. I just can't seem to find a good rhythm with timing (that is: either I'm playing with the dwarves moving and they go crazy too fast, or I'm paused and just don't feel engaged with them). I def feel Rimworld hits a good comfy zone on this.

C-shites? Not sure who you're referencing with that.
