Let's put it this way: I'm a very smart person, and I can't give a specific definition for Deplorable. I can't even think of easy examples. The first thing that comes to mind is Jews in the Holocaust. It's so complex that to most people it really just means bad. It failed because nobody fucking knows what it means.

I don't think I could run 12K today, that's pretty solid. But also, you gotta get those numbers up, those are rookie numbers, in high school I ran 19K or so in one day. Which I assume took me 2 hours at least, since I never ran a sub 20 minute 5K or anything close to it. Watch out for bone splints though, they're no joke.

LMAO I didn't even see the train, I thought you were saying boats and "old boats"

If the news people are more online than the trans people, surely this means the news people lost, right?

You should make yourself financially bulletproof first, and have some investments. You'll have to do real work, which might not be something you're used to doing. Don't delude yourself that it'll be easy, your current job is undoubtedly easier than teaching.

But that said, yes you should, if it's not stupid for you to do it. You can't help change the system by helping capitalists, the best thing a leftist can do is either join a union or become a teacher. Pick a job to make money, or to help society. The middle ground exists purely to make losers feel better about existing inside capitalism.

Is Matt ever coming back? Did we ever find out what happened to him? Is he, like, paralyzed from the neck down? If your job is just bullshitting with your friends to begin with, why would anybody need to take a full year off? I assume he's been out of the hospital for several months at least, right?

He's essentially the straight man, and unfortunately most of the guests he's brought on for the past year were also straight man types. Chapo was better with 2 dedicated goofball slots, but without Matt that's a very hard thing to get.

I didn't say she was a bad lady? I'm not saying to say it as an attack, I'm saying you need to clarify which version of imperfection is preferable to her, and fail on that side. She shouldn't be getting on you about 8 hours of work taking 8.5 sometimes, that's how the service industry always is.

You need to handle your stress better. A good way that ive found is to think of yourself like a rock in a stream when you feel stressed out. You are immovable, things just happen around you while you handle whatever work is needed of you. Full on defensive zen. You won't make forward progress when you're a rock, but you also won't lose any. Bring to mind whatever is true, and accept it as true. When you dont need to be a rock, you can work on changing that truth, but until then, it simply IS true.

Also, it's not that hard to become a teacher, if you have a bachelor's degree. And if you want to sub, there are zero qualifications afaik. Would be a good place to startits probably a better job than you have now.

You should stop worrying about OT, for one. Jobs take as long as they take, next time your boss chews you out, just say "Oh okay, so you would prefer I just go home after 8 hours, even if there are a couple things left to do?". Not as a gotcha, just a legitimate question. Just don't care about whether you work 8 hours or 8.5, and do whichever he says he wants you to do. Find out which side he prefers, and do that.

This reads to me like an admission that, since we apparently know for sure of God's wrath, there is literally no purpose to punishing crimes. I mean, surely a murderer wouldn't dream of doing it a second time, when they logically know for sure that their afterlife would then be upgraded from regular Hell up to Double Hell, which as we all know is a misnomer of a name due to it being easily 50x worse than regular Hell. Therefore, recidivism is a myth and we would just be overcomplicating the person's actual punishment. So it's actually barbaric to punish literally any crime.

Thankfully, there are no other buildings in NYC within range of a nuclear bomb

Now I'm no world leader who has just been accused of genocide by a good chunk of the entire world, so maybe I'm out of my depth on this one, but personally, if it were me, I would start out with denying the accusations, followed by explaining exactly how what my country is doing differs from genocide. What I would definitely not do is simply try to exert my severe lack of power over other world leaders who are asking extremely reasonable questions and drawing a straight line from those to conclusions of genocide.

Based on his reported actions, I believe we have no other choice than to conclude that Netanyahu is extremely suicidal and is hoping for it all to be over soon.
