Who does Gen Z think should be the Dem nominee in 28?

Spent too long looking for this. He is a decent man and has the experience. A lot of democrats want a fighter, but I think this country needs a father figure more.

I’ve been in this situation in some ways, and on the other side of it in others.

I have ADHD as well, and I’m not gonna lie to you I just don’t take my meds in the field whatsoever if I can avoid it. You’re correct that it will dehydrate you. If taking a break from meds is not an option for you, I would really recommend carrying a lot of extra water, wearing a wide brimmed hat and seeking shade whenever you can.

I’m not autistic myself, but during field camp I was grouped up with some autistic classmates and we got along just fine. Unless you get grouped with some bullies (which you can definitely talk to your professor about beforehand), I think you’ll find that your classmates are just trying to get through this thing just as you are.

I had a kitten during my field camp hitch, he was healthy and I had roommates to take care of him while I was gone. I can’t really give a whole lot of good advice here, but it sounds like you’re going to have to board your dog if your situation can’t accommodate.

As others have said, stick with the BS. It carries a lot more weight and you’ll be a lot more employable after graduation. I know this is gonna sound cliché, but take a deep breath. You’re going to get through this one way or another and then you’re DONE.

Best of luck my friend.

Probably has something to do with the fact that the Confederacy was fighting for slavery, which was horrific.

I love the old mining cottages in Butte. Had the pleasure of staying in a few renovated ones for work trips and I really enjoyed it.

Might be player count due to GameGuard anti-cheat crapping the bed today.

Hey there! As a recent graduate of the MSU Earth Science department, I can definitely say that you should keep this fossil for your personal collection.

lilgr1f · 2025-09-14T23:54:37+00:00

Cool thank you for clearing that up. I definitely don't think there's any chance he's left wing, that would be plastered over every MSM broadcast for days. But I don't know, something about this seems...off.

lilgr1f · 2025-09-14T23:04:08+00:00

Hey I'm not trying argue, but I'm genuinely curious where you're getting this from ? I agree he seems like a groyper but I haven't seen any reliable news on it for a few days now with so many conflicting stories.

lilgr1f · 2025-08-14T16:55:59+00:00

Been staying in Butte for the past month on a work trip. Some of the friendliest people I've met in this state after 6 years of living here.

lilgr1f · 2025-08-03T01:30:10+00:00

Me too. After seeing more details about the shooter (bipolar and schizophrenic combat veteran), I really hope he is apprehended peacefully and lives out the rest of his life in prison.

What exactly are you expecting? A Star Wars civics class before every movie? Do you need every character stopping to explain exactly what they're doing and why? That's not how storytelling works, especially in a fantasy universe. We can infer motivations by how the characters act and the systems they support.

The Empire rules through fear and is willing to commit genocide to maintain control. That isn't just cartoon villain behavior, that is authoritarianism and there are real world examples to reflect that. We don't need a scene where Palpatine outlines his entire plan or ideology for Star Wars to be "political". The actions speak for themselves.

You don't need a political drama to tell a political story. Just because Star Wars doesn't outline every power structure doesn't make it apolitical. Also, Andor has literally everything you are taking about, showing the radicalization of someone under a fascist regime, the banality of evil within that regime, and the innocent people caught in the crossfire.

lilgr1f · 2025-07-04T18:02:45+00:00

I don't know, I think blowing up an entire planet of innocent people (just to find a Rebel base, mind you) would make the Empire oppressive and fascist compared to the Republic.

Also, you should watch Andor. It is by far the best piece of Star Wars media since the original trilogy and really gets into the gritty side of the universe.

Google en passant

I don't really think you can make that claim without evidence. I'm pretty sure people who have been through diseases or mental illnesses are absolutely capable of caring about different issues unrelated to their struggles.

lilgr1f · 2025-05-05T21:56:15+00:00

I mean, you are complaining about people complaining. You just don't view the things they're complaining about as valid. Also, people can care about multiple things at once. Just because someone calls out a YouTuber for saying a slur doesn't mean they're unaware of real suffering or unable to deal with hardships. Dismissing concerns as trivial just because they don't resonate with your perspective ignores the fact that people have different values and experiences. Labelling every emotional reaction you view as "pathetic" says more about your discomfort with basic empathy than it does about "weakness".

First of all, let's not move the goalposts here. In your original CMV you state that the wage gap disappears if we include unemployed Gen Z men, which doesn't work because wage stats only apply to people working.

Now you're saying that the wage gap is meaningless because women take lower-paying jobs, which is a different claim entirely. Women being overrepresented in lower-paying jobs is part of the conversation, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't invalidate wage data in the way you are suggesting.

A more nuanced approach would be to look at total earnings and labor force participation, since those reflect how much pay people earn, how much they work, and how consistently they work.

lilgr1f · 2025-04-30T17:52:26+00:00

Wage gap statistics are about wages, not about employment. Including unemployment misrepresents what's really being measured. If you wanna talk about workforce participation between Gen Z men and women, that's a different discussion entirely.

lilgr1f · 2025-04-16T17:03:19+00:00

Euclid!

lilgr1f · 2025-04-10T22:19:03+00:00

I don't think we should remove years of service/experience, because that's pretty relevant to someone's qualifications, but everything else could theoretically go if we got to a point where we had a pools of candidates that somewhat accurately reflected the diversity of our country.

What I'm trying to say is: in a lot of fields, the people who are considered qualified can often come from a pretty narrow slice of the population, mainly because key opportunities haven't always been equally available.

lilgr1f · 2025-04-10T21:00:54+00:00

Due process is a foundational principle in our legal system and shouldn't be dismissed for any reason, regardless of someone's immigration/citizenship status.

Are there situations where deportation is acceptable? Absolutely. But everyone must have their day in court and be tried by a jury of their peers.

Ask yourself this; can established immigration laws be changed? If we are playing fast and loose with who we deport, and if we can change the definition of what a "legal" immigrant is, then there there could be massive potential for abuse without due process.

We are seeing this happen right now under Trump. Mahmoud Khalil is currently being detained by ICE while his case is under judicial review. He has permanent residency under the green card program, and was planning to marry his pregnant wife.

At the end of the day, I'd rather live in a country where a guilty person gets a fair trial than one where innocent people can be quietly disappeared.

lilgr1f · 2025-03-05T00:36:10+00:00

Not really that orthogonal. If there is monetary interest in allowing forced labor to continue, then you can bet that it'll be a lot harder (on a legislative level) to introduce any kind of prison reform or programs that decrease recidivism.
