  • I for one fully support the hacking, social engineering, or any underhanded ways to get into the accounts of these people and fucking with them back.
    Seriously how fragile do you have to be to systematically remove all references of accomplishments, compassion and consideration to anyone who doesnt look like you? Whether they are another gender, race, sexual orientation, political ideology or whatever makes you feel insecure, you deserve for people to also say ‘you know what, maybe i will come and fuck up your shit and see how you feel about it’.

    Honestly it does feel like too many lines have and are being crossed that it will force this tit for tat retaliation, which will just escalate until things get dire. However in the end do you let them keep getting away with destroying societal norms and rules or does it come to full political & class war to stop them before they invade poland and france?

    Either way there is a heartbreaking certainty for the future of america, a lot of suffering for people of all walks of life.

    …except maybe the billionaires.



  • I remember watching a congress inquiry or something into something like student debt or subsidies (iirc) where comedian/tv personality Hasan Minaj was included in the panel. He was a bit out of place next to the usual gov office types cracking jokes half the time (although never inappropriate) and serious the other half and i think someone even noted his presence there being strange. I forget if it was someone in the video or just a comment below the video but they pointed out that they wouldn’t have even been watching this legislation discussion if it wasnt for him and his occasional humorous answers or comments and i realised i wouldnt be watching either. Im not even american.

    If comedy is the gravy you need to put on some veggies to make them more palatable for people to consume them then by all means, pour that shit on and get people interested and engaged with the issues at hand.

    The every day person doesnt have to agree or change their mind, they just need to be aware and informed so when it comes the time to vote or support a choice they are given then they at least have some further knowledge beyond ‘my political team is going this way so i suppose ill do that’.






  • Who you know, and the opportunities they afford is a game changer for career trajectory.
    The big reason to pay money or get into a good school isnt that the education is of that much higher quality, its about who your friends are, and more importantly what their parents or parents friends do. You have a friend all through school and one day you are like ‘i wanted to get an internship somewhere but im not sure how to go about it’ and then your friend is like ‘oh my mum/dads friend is a senior manager/team leader at XY good company, im sure they can find you a placement.’

    But saying this, it is “who you know not what you know” until your in the job and its a matter of time until it becomes “what you know and who you know won’t save you”, except the rare circumstances where your working for dad in the whitehouse or something.
