Too easy

I would want a guise around NY Hahahaha

Unfortunately, I'm a bit too far for that. Sorry.

There's also UMass Amherst

I don't know much about the UMass system.

If it was in Boston... I’d go there no issue but 🤷‍♂️

Amherst is so far outta the way

The idea for me is networking while over there

So I need somewheee that has easy access

That’s why I thought Pittsburgh would be ideal

My ultimate goal is to find work out of uni in the US so I don’t have to deal with the moronic Australian media

And there’s also nothing to do journalism wise in Australia unless you’re doing crime or politics

Hm. I should warn that the US seems to have a real glut of Journalists.

Pittsburg probably will work. But you'll want to look into Amtrak or something.

The big thing is to start writing. There are alternative papers in the Unis you can write for if you know where to look.

Out of the frying pan

Yeah I’m all over it tbh, and I know that haha but I’m confident that I will be able to stand out. The majority of “journalists” shouldn’t have their jobs

I’m gonna try look for start up companies... people with journalistic integrity. But it’s gonna be a trek

Let's kickstart a debate: Since *most* of this board tends to lean right (or atleast not progressive) there's a tactics debate right now on the right.

View 1: making fun of people is a bad idea and triggers a backlash.

View 2: Nah. No one is listening anyway. Need moar shitposts.

Which argument do you find more convincing?

View 1, makes sense, that was what the libs did to trump supporters. Now I wouldnt say what rightwingers are doing to leftwingers are as bad but this only serves to widen the divide between the right and the left.

If the divide is going to happen anyways might as well have fun with it.

Which was my point. It sped up the inevitable

But it isnt helping either

Now we have the right stoking the fires and the left burning brighter.

Sooner or later that fires gonna burn bad

Or we can hope it runs out of steam

I kind of think that either outcome isn't a bad thing. Not that I want a civil war or something but if it does happen it will allow for the purging of the radical/authoritarian left and bring the US back to a sense of normality.

I meanits a way of burning excess

The extreme views will die out.

But you can expect the people in the middle to become more extreme.

Well, more in comparison, not actually extreme

Radical centrists lel.

Talking like, I didnt care abotu free speech before, now Im aware and support it

It's not going to be a left vs right thing. It will be crazies vs non crazies.

Thing is everything is so tribal now

Well yeah that's the two party system for you.

That even mild difference in opinion results in all out anger

Society is too complex for 2 parties.

But people are too simple to think beyond yes and no

Nobody wants to sit through hours of tests to see which party they will agree with

Alot of people agree with trump policies but hate it because of the name behind it
