I was talking as compared to other democrats. Hes not as progressive as people think.

That said yeah obviously I'd be to the moon if he was president right now.

Right now because Trump won a second time I'm dead inside. And I think I'll probably be dead inside forever because even if we elect someone better in 2028 I'll know we elected Trump twice. That will haunt me forever.

Jon Stewart is kind of meh. I guess I'd vote for him though.

My understanding is that its because healthcare is still doing very well and that has a lot of women in it as an industry. College educated or otherwise.

A lot of white collar work men tend to get into is being effected by mass adoption of AI and the tariffs are impacting blue collar work.

Only up to a point, fossil fuels getting cheaper will reach a point where it wont be worth extraction outside of for niche customers.

If renewables become plentiful and cheap enough globally fossil fuels will more or less die off in use, even if right now they're going upward in use its temporary. The problem is we're stuck with severe consequences even if they do eventually largely stop. We're stuck with severe consequences if they stop this very instant in fact.

What we really want is renewable energy to become so cheap and plentiful that not only do fossil fuels stop being used but carbon capture technology's high energy cost becomes null and it just becomes a net good. ATM the technology is useless because the high energy cost ends up just putting more co2 into the air anyway than is removed.

Both seem ripe to be someone's fursona.

That's victorian era morals super charged by protestant evangelical puritanism. Kids are perfect innocent angels that become hyper corrupted by the sin of nakedness and the flesh.

The USA never seems to get past this in particular.

Sounds and looks vaguely like a Magic The Gathering card.

I work as an office worker at a community center with a youth program that sometimes gets pulled into the "counselor" position when we're short handed. I can't understand how the counselor's stay so motivated to teach the kids anything when I feel like they all know what's coming and there isn't any curriculum for us because its after school.

I would be way too curious to do that. How does someone that stupid even function? Lets find out.

I just can't even stand the personality of someone who's first fucking instinct when they see violent or sexual media is "If I don't like it no one should be allowed to see it." Fuck off.

I closed the community center I work at alone yesterday. Had a homeless guy come by after closing wanting me to bag some pantry food for them and I told them I was wrapping up for the day and they'd have to come tomorrow. He threw a hissy fit, I shut the door, and 2 minutes later another burly hairy dude in an old SUV came by with a nasty grumpy look on his face parked directly in front of our front door. They waited outside the door for me to leave.

Suffice to say I wasn't interested in getting jumped/stabbed over whatever they were thinking and I exited out the back and snuck the rest of the way to my car. What a fucking memorable Monday.
