Mmmm, in vivid detail… ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )

On your what??

Oh man I have some bad news for you…

This was true for me too. A big part they left out was that you would need to develop skills for the career you wanted - whether that happened in school or not. If your career interest is in computers, but your education interests are in medieval history, make sure you have some computer skills to offer future employers and let your degree put you at the top of the candidate pool.

But still yeah this whole process was screwed from the start. Everybody has degrees now and most careers use it as a barrier to entry rather than a leg up.

Only if we’re strictly talking about the Republicans. I know if the Democrats ever started playing that stupid game, we would call them out on it in a heartbeat.

These threads are full of people making the straight-up weakest arguments for destroying nature…

“…but privacy and noise!”

Ugh, just take all that money you would have spent on the ridiculous driveways, extra lengths of road, utilities, and lawn care and put it into higher quality building materials for the apartments/townhouses.

We build crap quality places in the US and all I hear from my fellow countrymen is “we can’t (or don’t want to) do it any other way”.

That accounts for a huge portion of the Chicago population.

Yeah the Metra is a commuter rail - it runs to and from the city and suburbs. It doesn’t run all night long - few, if any, commuter rail lines would waste enormous amounts of cash to run that way.

The suburbs are shit. If you want reliable transportation day and night, you need population density to support it. Ergo - you need to live in an actual city - not suburban sprawl.

I dunno Chicago is pretty great. We have both kinds of trans and it’s so kinds of awesome generally speaking

Beautiful

Well gosh golly I guess we just can’t do anything then. Throw more kids on the pile.

This thread seems to be downplaying the effectiveness of guns. Obviously, given the cancerous gun culture being what it is, there’s no way I’ll be able to convince anyone who’s already decided that guns aren’t a problem.

Just for the rest of the world, I’m just going to point out that there are sane folks here in the US who fully recognize that guns are definitely the problem and aren’t going to point to the ludicrous notion of “a car or a bomb” as the next obvious substitute for firearms mowing down children in classrooms across the country.

I really hope none of the 11 or 12 black Republicans in existence ever come across this post because they’d be piiiiissed.

Aww that’s sad :(

WWHCD

That’s hilarious

As a non-Dolly music fan, I agree with you wholeheartedly… for now.

But later, if it comes out after she’s dead, that she was secretly harvesting puppy blood in her basement or abusing handicapped kids for decades or some other crazy awful thing, I’ll have to re-evaluate. And though I’m not hoping for this to be the case, it just seems like that’s exactly the type of shit this timeline would do to us. Guys I think I’m losing hope for humanity. Dolly save us all.

That’s clearly an ice cream cone

I once worked at a police department (wasn’t a cop) in a very rural area. The officers regularly responded to calls to put down stray dogs who were injured or sick.
But yeah also for fun when raiding the wrong house.
