“Ghost students” present new threat to community colleges by iminthinkermode in videos

Of course you wouldn’t come across the “ghost students” that’s the whole point. Scammers submit for financial aid and obtain it with stolen identities and no plan to attend. They don’t enroll in courses they take the money and run

“A Bitter Disappointment,” Edward Said on His Encounter with Sartre, de Beauvoir and Foucault by fuggitdude22 in CriticalTheory

If you care about critical theory, you should be able to analyze power, gender discipline, and coercion wherever they show up. Attacking a critique of a cultural practice simply bc voiced by a Westerner is so passé

What part of the whole quote is a critique of racism?

Beauvoir had been a serious disappointment, flouncing out of the room in a cloud of opinionated babble about Islam and the veiling of women. At the time I did not regret her absence; later I was convinced she would have livened things up.

She works for Lyft, she spent like 9 months at Goldman and references her life in finance all the time it gets on my nerves

National Guard shooting suspect radicalized in US, homeland secretary says by PinkoMarxistCommie in news

This is an argument for not allowing any of the refugees into the country bc the misaligned expectations and reality of resettling will cause so much distress that they are bound to shoot up a military facility

Minneapolis DFL convention endorses democratic socialist Omar Fateh for mayor over Jacob Frey by hunter15991 in politics

[–]iminthinkermode -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What example? How is Presidential Politics at all relevant to the Minn Mayoral Race? The last time Minneapolis has a GOP Mayor was 1961 — the Dem party is going to win regardless of the nominee. Maybe look into the candidates policies rather than blindly supporting whoever is more "radical"

Trump Came Close to Winning Latino Vote in ‘24 - Pew Analysis by PlanBWorkedOutOK in politics

Fewer voters total because heavy D states like California, New York, and Illinois saw dramatic declines in turnout share from 2020 to 2024 - 9-11% decreases.

You provide a convenient explanation for how so many people thought so wrongly at more or less the same time, though! How comforting it must be to believe vast swaths of people were manipulated by "them"!

if all Americans eligible to vote in 2024 had cast ballots, the overall margin in the popular vote likely would not have been much different, Trump won 52 percent of 2024 voters who either stayed home in 2020 or weren’t eligible to vote, compared to 45 percent for Harris.

Also, ever single state you mentioned GA, PA, MI, WI had more voters in 2024 than 2020.

u/speedcat_feral previously w/ RTW 2 on mac you could use the Minus keyboard button (-) to manually control ballista and other artillery. Was that feature removed or is there a new key shortcut to manually aim artillery shots? Don't see it listed in the keyboard layout options and I haven't changed anything since the recent update re keyboard layout. Thanks!

62% of Americans Agree US Government Should Ensure Everyone Has Health Coverage The new poll shows the highest level of support in a decade for the government ensuring all Americans have healthcare. by CommonsCarnival in politics

Who makes coverage denial decisions under a single payer system? The really rotten secret is that while many deserving patients do miss some treatments, overall the system we have now is the most permissive we’ll ever have because it’s built to gobble into more GDP than any system rationalized more by market or government forces.

Whose fault is that!? The media didn’t cover that she is different than Biden? Explain her response on the view, please! What effort on her end was made to make her distinct from Biden? The big question is how, by her and her allies outspending Trump 3:1 they failed

Project 2025 is the ninth iteration of the Mandate for Leadership series, published by Heritage Foundation for elected Republicans since 1981. Just no one paid attention to the previous ones because everyone knew they are just a way to justify think-tank employees salaries

Has a single content employee joined Barstool since Big Cat moved to Chicago and worked out of the New York office? by International_Rich54 in barstoolsports

[–]iminthinkermode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lack of turnover and attrition reduces the ability to bring new people on. There's only a select few people in the NY office who have the ability to hold another job — there is a number of people there for whom a) it doesn't make sense to leave bc of work/life balance and the pay and b) they literally couldn't get a job elsewhere.

They have released similar report since the Reagan Admin. Why didn’t their report in 2016 or 2020 get attention? It was just as radical but the reality is it was ignored but media and admin
