I studied computer science, is that enough science to get me out of here?

It seems like the Trump regime has already not held up its end of the previous deal. He should get less, not more.

Due to budget cuts, "Get into Magic so you won't have money for drugs." has now become "Don't worry about it, you won't have money for drugs anyways. Or for housing, for that matter."

I have a lot of experience with ignoring my problems.

Maybe Trump's plan to get Mexico to pay for the wall is to make America so shitty that they want a wall to keep Americans out. XD

I don't think this is true. A lot of the people who voted for Trump in the election are simply disillusioned with the status quo, and rightly so. They don't know enough to know which changes would help, but when only one side promised change, they went with that side.

Trump's victory was assured not by an overwhelming amount of fascist voters, but by an overwhelming amount of unhappy voters combined with Democrats' utter failure to challenge the system that made them unhappy.

I'm sort of torn on whether it's a good thing that this is possible.

Like, I don't think it's good for Russia to be able to keep doing what they're doing, but US sanctions are also often used for evil (IMO) so in those cases the existence of methods to evade them could be good.

It'd be nice if the sanctions were only used in good ways in the first place, but that's not currently the reality.

It's hard to tell which of my memory issues are from ADHD and which are from other neurodivergences.

I agree that both genocides are bad, but I disagree on a few points:

1. The genocide of Palestinians has been going on since long before October 7. Hamas didn't initiate it, they just performed a relatively minor act of retaliation which Israel used as an excuse to escalate the genocide.

2. For those of us in the west, our own governments are supporting the latter genocide. So of course we're more outraged about the blood that's on our own hands (in some sense). I think that Russia should be stopped as well, but not sending weapons in support of a genocide seems like a pretty clear first step we should be taking.
