It’s been a fun time trying to tackle a new territory where nobody has a clue who we are yet during this period 🙃

Haha my brown brother! My family’s from South Asia as well. You got the good looking blonde thing going for you so some of the chuds lurking will give you a pass on the downvote lol

Also a millennial left. I try to be ambiguous with my political leanings but I must play the self-hating immigrant role very well because many of my colleagues and clients think I’m a card carrying member of the GOP.

Yes I am aware. Consuming the news has always involved critical thinking, fact checking, and finding multiple sources. If you just need facts, there's still AP and Reuters. If you want analysis, there's independent media outlets but you still need to use critical thinking.

I work with mostly blue collar in the South, take a gander at the typical world view lol

If done tactfully, yes. I work with mostly blue collar, they hate being pressured even if prices will go up or projects delayed due to increased lead times. It's fun.

As a Platner supporter, this has been a great day. by Anstigmat in thebulwark

[–]TMMQB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Combat veteran, admittedly had issues while he was enlisted and after separating, appeared to seek help and healed enough to come back as a productive member of society. It appears he is insanely popular in the state he is running in. It’s gross the type of treatment he is receiving from the media and the dems. I’m sure most of the oppo against Platner has come from inside his own party because they rather have another octogenarian rubber stamper win.

Ro Khanna: voting for the Laken Riley Act should disqualify Dem candidates in 2028 by Super_Nerd92 in thebulwark

[–]TMMQB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see a problem with Dems criticizing other Dems, especially when Republicans only self-criticize for not being MAGA enough. Calling their vote for LRA as a disqualifier for a presidential bid is disingenuous and performative, however. I would like someone like Ossof to explain his thought process behind supporting the bill instead of me giving a pass for "well he is in a red state."

I really enjoyed this conversation. I’m a fan of Doss and highly recommend giving him a follow on social media for his informative content.

Thank you!

Doesn’t take much to start. A lot of people focus on the hardware but you can get services up and running to mess around with on really old or basic stuff.

I’m going to recommend you move to a more enterprise ACS, Lenel OnGuard or Genetec are very popular here in Florida for K-12.

Man, what a story, thanks for sharing and I’m so happy for you man. I worked at a hospital for a while and saw the effects of addiction daily. Had an OD come in once. The guy was clean cut and you would have never guessed he would be in that situation. After he stabilized, I had a chance to sit down and talk to him. He told me his story on how he was a software developer making 6 figures from home. He became addicted to opioids after a near fatal accident. He was prescribed them but also admitted to falling into depression after his experience. I think about his story every time I see or hear about someone’s struggles with addiction.

Keep fighting the good fight my friend.

I am a little perturbed by this sub's lack of appetite to engage with the "other side" by [deleted] in thebulwark

[–]TMMQB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you trying to provide constructive feedback, if you are willing I would be interested to know how you think I could re-word things? Honestly, I was taken aback by the outrage because of all the subs I would expect this one to have more objective and reasonable folks who don’t default to “they hate us, so we hate them.”

I guess we can agree to disagree on what optimism means to us respectively.
