I just do the testosterone trick.

sometimes that works

Saying Hilary has been above the law is dangerous folks.

nice that they clarified this bit tho, re: capital gazette: 'His motives were his own -- he held a grudge against the paper for its coverage of a criminal harassment claim against him -- and had nothing to do with Trump's repeated rhetorical attack on the media as "fake." Full stop.'

Is it rhetoric if it's the truth?

if the media always put truth above rhetoric then we would probably not be here in this chat room

Do you think any media group will be able to reach this standard?

The Knife is aspiring towards that, but they're currently sticking towards analyzing other media groups' reporting on things after-the-fact

You know if you think about it with the whole media fake news thing its like GamerGate but like on a All News scale, except nobodies really made any changes and is just bitching on both sides.

Sometimes when I thi k about all of this I know that its important to stand up for it to dedicate time to learning how to get into journalism and dedicate yourself to bringing that reality into modern day news media but

Just cant get started because I have nowhere to start and the time and effort is intimidating

Thats kinda how i felt about getting into politics but then an opportunity presented myself and i decided to jump on it.

timpool discord 😄 amazing

So basically dont be afraid to take opportunities

even if they dont seem that great, youll be able to network

Dont you feel like with the big names in our world it's almost impossible to get started without being a meme

I volunteered with a State delegate campaign and now might be getting into a Federal Senate one

Because it really starts with making a political blog

kinda

it def helps

ive been thinking about doing it to establish a platform of my own

but my problem is that i dont have alot of time

i work during the weekdays and i like to relax during the weekends so i tend to game instead of committing to making it happen

Same my man

Same

I also live with my parents still cause money which makes me slightly uncomfortable voicing my views at times

I dont thi k that should stop you

It doesnt, at least with my dad. Ive had good discussions with him on politics

I am to worried that I'm just going to get flamed because I am not a big brain political genius or know every policys

My mom is the worry, in part because she is REALLY anti-trump

i dont like him either but she buys into the narrative/fake news

I took PolySci and History in College so I WANT to talk about this stuff but i feel like im not quite in the environment for it yet

Someday lol

See

I didn't go to college

I was just raised by pure political and religious debate and banter with family

dont let it stop you

So that's why it is extremely intimidating

i can imagine

My immediate family, we mostly all agree with some exceptions

my extended family is another story

especially my moms side

i just dont want to piss off my parents cause im still living here lol

that and time like i mentioned before

I'm at work sorry if it takes me a moment to reply

your good

Trying to multi task out my ass right now haha

ah

Listeing to the H3 podcast, running reports for my job typing here and trying to help people

Kill me

dont die

you can hold off on some things

youll perform better that way

multi-taskings a meme

Nah already done

Now time to sit back and wait for people on my team to need assistance

Heck yeah

lol fair enough

I thought about going to college for political philosophy and history but you have people that say

"You dont need college just read"

idk i think it depends on where you go and how its taught

i was lucky that they didnt try to indoctrinate us and instead focused on teaching the material and then how to think on said material. And write on it of course LOTS OF WRITING (typing really lol)

they didnt say we had to think about the subject in one way or another, they encouraged us to come to our own conclusions

which i appreciated

Now thats not to say we did not have classes that tried to push a narrative cause we did, although i avoided them. I had two classes that had elements of say sjwism but they werent enough to be of much influence. Had a friend who took Gender Studies to fullfill a requirement however, and he said they definitly pushed a narrative in there. He passed but he wasnt liked iirc.

Jesus

You know I also kinda thought those classes were just a random bullshit class that wasn't apart of a main course structure

Guess I'm wrong

He was a Criminal Justice major but I don’t think it was because of his major but that he had to fulfill one of the generic state University/College requirements but idk I’d have to ask

Be it the fact that it's a state uni requirement

A little weird

Well not that class particularly as I didn’t take it but it might have been one of the options

You get to choose from a list

Again though he MAY have been made to take THAT class in particular for some reason but I forgot

But it probs fulfilled one of the states requirements for credit hours

So would you recommend a poli degree or classes

Well PoliSci is more the Science side of it later on, so more statistics and research which was more difficult for me but covering things like politics and political philosophy was fun. I would say that you have to be skeptical of your profs depending on where you go cause the Humanities in general is having trouble with sjwism. History was more a personal pastime that I wanted to expand on, and I’d say it was totally worth it and gave me some perspective on my political science classes as well as my personal politics.

I'm actually moving in a few months so I'll check out the community colleges in the state I move to and check out the prices

that works

i didnt do community college

so cant help you there

If you're intersted in talking politics i can give you a couple of server invites

They talk about politics on and off and have a pretty good smattering of all ideologies

There are serious discussion channels for uninterupted conversations and they occasionally bring people on to talk about various issues

Most notable ones are probably the las vegas survivor and someone from ACLU's new york office

ill think on it, im in so many servers im worried about having to keep track of another lol

honestly this and one other are the only good servers ive been to for political debate

the other is almost always exclusively voice chat though

ah

im in one server thats more for weeb stuff but we have a serious topics channel if we want to talk politics

appabend?

nope

its a fandom specific one

oof

those convos are....interesting

im sure

got some sjws in there

must make it intertaining
