  Probably OP’s work computer. Most people don’t get to choose.

  One star reviews on Yelp.

  I think things are getting worse faster because the people in power know the cat’s out of the bag. They’re trying to grab everything they can and to fortify themselves against the backlash they know is coming for them.

  We have these midterms and then the Presidential election in a couple years. Unfortunately, things will get even worse before they get better. But if we aren’t building the power to actually seize opportunities when they arise, we’ll fail to recover at all. Organizing is the best thing we can do.

  Did I miss something?

  People love to do activities where their efforts and rewards have a strong correlation to each other. Athletics are an activity where hard work pays off. That’s rare at a job.

  We elect world leaders who don’t know anything about any of those things. Why shouldn’t a singer or actor use their voice, too? At least they had the discipline to learn a craft.

  This is a very broad question. But broadly, I think if you’re an artist, you probably got where you are by sharing your point of view with your audience in an authentic way. If you’re going to let fear of disapproval stop you from doing that, you might as well quit anyway.

  Maybe try to find people to study with. Preferably from your class, but even setting up a few hours a week with any other students to have coffee together and just read in a quiet space can help you stay on task. Make use of your library and treat it like a job.

  People spend too much time doing everything in the same physical space, and having books downloaded on devices doesn’t help at all. How is your boring textbook supposed to compete with the universe of more attractive activities on your computer? Create an environment for yourself that facilitates study. Structure your life around it.

  It’s only 49‰? Color me surprised.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why should we feel sorry or empathy for the rich when they get scammed? Shouldn't we be holding these scammers parades?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are they scamming the rich to help the poor? I don’t have any sympathy for rich people falling victim to scams, but I wouldn’t throw a parade for someone who just did something selfish.
