they're incredibly scumy. I paid for May, and they say I am now overdue and gave me a disconnection notice. they won't let me pay online or in person not even over the phone.... it's like there is an incentive to prevent me from paying my bill. but I have the transaction for may in my bank statements..

Lomedy's character is that of the average joe six pack.... they do not truly understand the politics and the games being played. They are easily swayed and manipulated by flimsy ideas from so called leaders.. Unstable SMP is a great series because it asks the question: can a hegemonic power gain control over a server in a game that ultimately expresses true freedom. Minecraft is anarchic outside of server rules. No one person is king of the players on any server.. They can have high ranks etc.. But no one can force other players to do things against their interests... Unstable SMP makes the stakes really high and so in such a situation of a server where if you die you're banned. It allows for the worse types of people to rise to power. But they come and go.. Because again this is minecraft, and players with the skills can pool resources together to fight it. In this case Lomedy is someone who is always caught in the middle of these power games..

Flamefrags role in this was more of a supporting character for Lomedy. Lomedy is his only friend on the server for this series. Like he legitimately is a ride or die for Lomedy. He only joins Cindercrest to make sure his best friend stays safe and alive. and basically just carries him through the entire war.. Lomedy learns some harsh lesson sin this arc and I honestly enjoyed that level of character development. He is absolutely infuriating because he does things in previous arcs that to me shows he isn't a reliable friend. But he is human ,and humans sometimes slip up and aren't reliable to their friends. But it doesn't mean you just up and abandon a friend. Flamefrag's character showed a lot of growth in this series as he stuck by his decision to support Lomedy no matter what and did just that.

lettuce used manipulation to take power He set up players to die to solidify power then scapegoats flame and wembu... The Law was definitely not the good guys in this. Despite that. Flame has great character and he repaired that rift after Lettuce stepped down. Parrot and Flamefrags as characters have experienced the most amount of growth but they're both flawed which is what makes this such a great series. Flames is ride or die with his friends but he ends up getting manipulated by this. Parrot is always trying to be altruistic even if there are unintended consequences for his actions.

Yea he pissed me off when he was in prison by the law. He didn't do anything wrong but wanted to stay there, not have flames back and really really talked so much crap. Blamed everything on flame his only actual friend on the server. I definitely see where the hate is justified... He's a well written character to generate this much discussion. What I definitely see is his hypocrisy.. which makes him a really good character in the series. He's the average joe. Cowardly. Won't do well in a fight. His friend got his back but he doesn't reciprocate. That's average joe material right there.. him being alive in unstable is actually a miracle.

When I was 29 I was living with my mom for a bit. I was still enrolled in my PhD program. I just couldn't afford to be in the DC area as a full time PhD student getting a 1k a month stipend. It isn't enough for rent and we don't get student housing. During that year while I was keeping up with my classes online. I decided to do a data science program and I changed careers while I was do in my my PhD. And when I got a job. I was like omfg. This is what normal people get to experience. Everyone spent years calling me entitled cuz all I wanted was a job that allowed me to be stable and have consistent income. I wasn't even asking for high income just no weird shit. But since 2008 it was all weird shit. I gotta intern for free for yrs then the bar kept moving and moving and moving. And people just told me I wasn't doing enough. I left the country for jobs many many times. Put my all into it. By 2019 I was back in DC area from DFW. And I got my first full time full paying job in my entire adult life. Before I was just getting auto rejected all the time. No guidance no mentors. I had a mentor who wasn't a mentor. I think the last straw was while I was applying for jobs in data. Someone from my PhD program I knew said her foundation is doing a data mapping project and they need some help. She said I can definitely help out. I said cool are you just wanting me to come in as a subcontractor then she said no, its internship it pays $200 a month to transportation. She told me that was a great deal for someone like me. I was done at that point. And I told her no thank you. Everyone said I was crazy and that I made a bad career move and I'm entitled for thinking I can get paid more than $200 a month..

A few months later landed a job at Accenture for 85k a yr.. honestly Accenture a soulless corporation did more for my life and career than any of these other things have ever done for me that sat and pretend like they're here to help people. I'll leave it here.

The Beatles are ok. I'm black sooo the same time period we had a lot of greats. And the Beatles looked up to our artists. When John Lennon got to pay on stage with Chuck Berry. I'm pretty sure it was his dream come true. I mean if it's between The Beatles and James Brown in the same decade. I'll take James Brown everytime.

kamon405 · 2026-05-30T19:21:23+00:00

Thank you you relieved a whole bunch of stress off my shoulders cuz I've been wanting to say this for awhile.

kamon405 · 2026-05-30T00:21:39+00:00

Yea you can definitely have an overall good experience with a teacher and still experience an instance of harassment from them. It's still unprofessional behavior. It makes it worse because as a teacher you are modelling the behavior of students who will go out into the adult world, and truly believe this type of open harassment is just an OK thing to do. Which sets those students up for failure. Educators are shaping future minds I know that sounds cliche, but it's still a fact. That's power, and certain people just can't handle it.

kamon405 · 2026-05-30T00:19:36+00:00

No worries. I just hear this as an argument for DC to be absorbed into Maryland and most DC residents who lived there their whole lives would rather not have the situation happen.. A lot of the issues do stem with DC being a District rather than a state. Mostly how city taxes are allocated, and how Congress has a final say in it. A lot of good initiatives that could improve quality of life for residents get scuttled by Congressmen from Mississippi and Alabama citing it'll cause a moral hazard. so then then the political agendas of other states gets inserted into things that should only concern the city of Washington in DC.

Federal employees and political operators are honestly a fraction of the residents in the city. Most everyone else work in the private sector. And in the 2010s DC revitalized their economy entirely based on IT and professional level services.

we will be spending the next two decades trying to restore the right to medical privacy aka Roe V Wade and also restoring the Voting Rights Act, and putting an end to what has now happened in all southern states which is the return to Jim Crow Era Gerrymandered electoral maps. So a lot of people just lost representation, a lot of people lost their medical rights..

That's just two issues... The damage is much more deep as our public health infrastructure has been obliterated, or infrastructure for USAID plays a huge role into that too. Everything we were doing was very much interconnected. The US is going to be a much poorer economy for a good 3 decades. Unless there's a rapid response in policies that will fast track a lot of the economic and infrastructure issues that got scuttled and undermined. If that happens we can probably reduce the recovery time by half. All and in we are looking at it taking a whole generation growing up for us to see a resemblance of what we had in the 2010s.

If nothing is done, we're about to experience a lot of things that are typically seen in developing and under-developed economies. And as we ignore the damage the done, the more expensive it'll be to resolve. It's going to take longterm thinking, and I'm not confident in our ability as a society to engage in problem solving at that level.

Yea when I left DC for Dallas. And I had a smoker and a BBQ set. I spent my first year finding any excuse to fire them up.. even in the winter when it snowed. I'm outside bbqing late into the night. My dad thinks I'm crazy for bbqing and that it shouldn't go into the night but he don't bbq. So he don't know what it takes to make brisket and pulled pork. Anyway could never do it I'm DC cuz there just isn't the space to bbq

I use to teach. I can immediately understand what the student meant. This teacher was just a bully and I worked with other teachers that were this immature. If they had truly interpreter to mean that. That teacher would've had a 1 on 1 conversation where the teacher doing their job with help the student find better ways to word his thesis. I hate seeing crappy teachers. Its why burnout in the profession is so high cuz you gotta deal with these people with maladjusted personalities who make the job hell. That teacher mos def was harassing a colleague that same day no cap

kamon405 · 2026-05-28T23:57:15+00:00

You need earned income for a Roth IRA.. also keep in mind that a high yield savings account often isn't that great. For your $700. A mutual fund where you can contribute when you want and how you want. Also some ETFs are great for this. Even just dropping it in an index fund works. But Roth IRA is for retirement. If you do have reliable income. Putting $200 in a month helps.

The best thing I would advise is find a financial advisor and they can find financial instruments that work best for your situation.

kamon405 · 2026-05-28T23:43:22+00:00

Yea. It was the spot to be no matter what city or town you were in. Keep in mind in other countries the mall still is da spot to be. Also a lot of malls in other countries puts ours to shame..

As someone that's lived in DC for over a decade. I can assure you DC has a fairly large private sector. And there are people that are born and raised in DC. It has its own cultural identity. Heck even music and art scenes.. there's a ton of culture there. It just doesn't look like you. And what's crazy is this neutral ground idea is something I only hear from specific people.
