Which is why those of us in less dangerous situations have an obligation to organize on your behalf. That's why i joined my grad student union. I can survive on my stipend but if I were sick or disabled I'd be fucked. 

She had risk factors though. She should have been informed. 

I guess people are just stupid /s

CA has the sixth largest economy in the world. 

Referendums have approximately 50% chance of passing. If a rich dude repeatedly pays to get it on the ballot (pays people to collect signatures), eventually he’ll succeed. In CA it’s become a mockery of democracy.

How do homeless people without cars vote in nm? 

So they should vote in their hometowns, which they will also likely move away from? Or should they vote in the hypothetical place they plan to buy a house (lol)?

Yea Jesus didn’t exactly stan for women’s rights, but that doesn't mean women don't deserve any. 

Several of his groupies described having sex with him as violent going past what they consented to. None of them have come forward publicly, but they’ve warned others away from him. In their circles he’s a known rapist.

If Willow cries, I cry. I’m not expert on good or bad acting, but there’s something about her strangle-hold over my tearducts that leads me to think that she’s doing something right.

This is the shady businessman move of wallstreet. Know that variance means there will always be an upswing, and then make a lot of noise when you inevitably benefit from it.

There’s a similar racket where people sell “stock trading algorithms” that are basically random. They just put a bunch out there, and then one…

Yea academia is full of these visas. International postdocs need them.

These Einstein visa’s are p common though. International postdocs often need them before job searches, because they don’t know where they will work in the upcoming year. From what I hear, the application system is pretty bogus (you have to talk about what a genius you are) but in the end you usually get the Visa if…

IDK I think Sacramento has some possibility of becoming a place of character. Some things it has:

This is p harsh and also factually negligent. I know some leftists who are so extreme they don’t vote, but they are not a majority, and they definitely AREN’T nihilists. These are the folks that show up consistently to every protest, the folks that got my university’s chancellor fired and shut down Milo’s speaking…

There’s a certain type of personality I’ve always clashed with, and I’ve noticed this type of person is typically drawn to two professions: teachers and cops.

Not sure... I think they’re just sexist and that IS their moral high ground. I really don’t think their going to blush at all about the idea of a man being “flawed” and “succumbing” to temptation but a woman being “broken” and/or “tempting.”

Some father daughter dances are p gross because of the different gender dynamics. They can culminate with a promise to the father of purity and not having sex until it’s with a husband the father approves of. It reeks of ownership and property.

Of course, a priori there’s nothing wrong with father daughter dances that…

Yes, because the millionaires who are benefiting from those votes rely on these people being as desperate and disenfranchised as possible so that they are easier to manipulate. This is how autocrats rise.

Of course narcotics are essential for many people, which is why what this company did is so unbelievably evil. Often the group of people who honest-to-God NEED these drugs to have an adequate life are ALSO the group vulnerable to addiction. The drugs need to be handed out responsibly, with a lot of support and…
