It sounds like the Kennedy center needs to cease to exist. It would be better for it not to be there than it would for it to branded by a dictator and presided over by this piece of shit Grenell.

As of right now, the center has no significant value and is a disgrace.

… Ew.

I hope they extra packed the snowballs so they hit like a block of ice. Ice on ICE violence. That’s what I’m here for.

As an outsider, you have a different perspective and your comment absolutely has a place regarding US politics. You don’t have to live here to hear the dumb shit that he says and to know how fucking absurd and stupid it is. I would argue that an outside perspective, if taken with and is accurate to current context, carries more weight than 35+% of US opinions. Especially being geographically near by, which seems less and less relevant as this dumb mother fucker keeps talking and bombing Venezuelans, I think the state of US politics is significant in the state of your country.

Best of luck Canada. Fight the fascism. Fuck this turd.

Almost 100% of the time actually. You gotta think, what are republican principles? The answer is hate and bigotry, and the vast majority have stuck to that in spades.

…what’s the first tie breaker?

I’ve written my fair share of emails to this ghoul. I’m definitely on the domestic terrorist list they are compiling.

Doctor Samuel Johnson is right about Orson Johnson being right.

Python 100%. It’s the most human readable and easiest to pick up, especially for a non tech person. It’s easy to setup contrary to what I’ve read in the comments. Go to python.org install the latest version and that’s it. The downloader includes Idle so no other ide is required, but I’d consider vscode as well. Either watch an install video or better yet do it yourself before going to class.

I think you need to highlight the differences between OSs when it comes to setup if you plan on having a mixed environment of systems. It will also affect the code you write, so to be thorough, you’ll need to cover those differences as well.

Don’t go low level like C. These people will die the first time they have to compile in terminal.

America isn’t the only place with sponsored stadiums. Emirates stadium (Arsenal FC) and Etihad stadium (Man City) are both sponsor names for example. It’s more common in lower leagues for the financial bump.

I was just discussing the event the other day, and said when it happens I will buy a flag pole, an American flag, and raise it to full staff. It will be up as long as the half staff order is active, then I will take it down and sell it or trash it. There will be zero ambiguity in my actions.

I am not a gun owner. I’ve never tried to senselessly defend them by claiming they’re for protection. I just want the hypocrites to stop being hypocrites and to point out how fake the initial argument was in the first place.

Hillary… You’re barely a has-been at best, and Bill cuck at worst. Kindly fuck off into obscurity and even more irrelevance, nobody wants to hear your dog shit, conservative opinion.

If there were any, they’d be absolved with a pardon or the sentence commuted.

It’s just too bad there wasn’t one of those responsible gun owners around to prevent terrorists from kidnapping a civilian. Speaking of, where are all of these gun toting Americans that believe they have them to defend America? Fucking cowards.

Why you gotta be shitty like this?

While that’s true, I still hope it’s all set in stone well in advance. I’m tired of exciting politics.

Idk that it’s a ploy, but just a reality. The alternative would be judges approving the maps and ending it here.

My hope is that it will be resolved far enough in advance of elections that Texas can’t sneak something in last minutes, or at least not something this significant.

Others have said it, but the quality of a person’s morals doesn’t have any direct correlation with their intelligence. Look at the majority of Congress. Most of them are intelligent people that are just the worst.

My advice is first to assess your risk tolerance to decide where your line is and then pushback. I’m a white male, so we’re not talking apples to apples, but I have long hair, I’ll talk openly about supporting lgbtq+, abortion, and really any topic, and worked in a manufacturing facility surrounded by bigots. If I was in a situation where someone says something bigoted, I’d call them out or give counter points depending on the topic. Some people are just ignorant and willing to have a conversation, but most get defensive. I’ve been taught that silence is complacency, so I’m not in the habit of letting bigots spew shit without pushback. Many of those workers I had an amicable work relationship with and a few others a little bit outside of work. In a work environment, you have to maintain a level of professionalism when discussing topics like these, but you can be stern. I personally don’t care if I piss off everyone that thinks that way, but I’m also not out there trying to get fired.

Maybe if you pushback they’ll get the hint and at least not say shit when you’re around. Make sure that if you’re making an argument, you have the knowledge to defend it. For example, you said black people on average make less, which I believe to be true, but you need to be able to cite statements like that from reputable sources.

Lastly, and this will probably be a little controversial, but there are two things I wanted to address in your examples. First, I grew up in small town Iowa and there were no black people in my highschool, and 3 adopted black children in my town. I don’t know the context of why that was brought up around you, but that isn’t inherently a racist thing, just a fact. I mention that sometimes when I’m trying to express to people how my experiences growing up may have been culturally different from people in more diverse areas. The other thing is that some people do have different tolerances for those micro aggressions. I have gay friends that will call me gay, women friends that will call me a bitch, and know of many other situations where groups of people just have a a comfortable relationship that they’re comfortable making those jokes amongst each other. If the Mexican guy that was teased was not in with the joke, then that’s a problem, but if they also thought the situation was funny, then that’s just it and not something that you should be offended about. Working retail, a guest once forgot a bag on the counter so I ran out after them. Coming up behind them near their car I yelled, “ma’am you forgot this”, and a guy turned around. Was embarrassed, but his wife thought it was hilarious, so we all just chuckled and walked it off. If later his wife was teasing him for looking like a girl, I wouldn’t consider her being bigoted or sexist or anything like that, just making a joke of the situation.

So take all that as you will. Stand up for yourself to the extent that you’re comfortable doing so. Don’t correlate a person’s intelligence with their morals. Try not to be offended of the small things if you can, because there’s not enough time in life to fret over other’s actions. Take pride in the times that your smarter than then and all the time that your better than them. Finally for some professional advice, learn from those that may be smarter than you instead of being upset that they are.

Democrats shitting the bed and then not only capitulating to the Republican shutdown but further negotiating away the ACA subs, hemp, and paying over $500k-Millions to multiple GOP reps, doesn’t help the momentum gained prior to a few nights ago. I hope that further emboldens voters to get out, vote against the GOP, but also vote those turncoats out on the “left”. God I’m so fucking pissed at them…
