  Go as a student and find a spouse while you’re there for the easiest way to stay after you’re done with school.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The cost of college in USA makes no sense anymore⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly it. The degree is the gatekeeper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the sequel was better.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Justice should be equal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And now that Republicans are set to have the Presidency, Congress and SCOTUS all at the same time, there doesn’t seem to be any barriers left.

  Abolish capital punishment!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This guy is giving a speech at the UN in NYC and he must have really been thirsty⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure the carafe was meant to be shared and he could have poured some into a glass. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just because you're a slob at home do you have to be an inconsiderate slob in public⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would have preferred shoes on in this situation. Ideally, keep your shoes on and feet on the floor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I choose innovation.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Switch to pull string.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The European mind can't comprehend⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are for sure in trouble somewhere. The Europeans will definitely be offended.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ohh ...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get it, but it’s still comparing apples to oranges. This situation could have happened in any country and also in the US with or without universal healthcare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ohh ...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A pregnant women was refused entrance to a private hospital she was forced to give birth on the parking lot in front of the entrance.

  Much different situation than in the US. They didn’t go bankrupt. The private hospital just wanted to send them the the maternity room down the road. Was it a mistake by the hospital? Yes. But it wasn’t because of insurance and the mother didn’t got bankrupt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok set to be banned in the US after losing appeal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude, the US based social media platforms are no better than TikTok. Its all rotten to the core. X is a great example of this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the point is that Americans assume that people speak English in countries where English is not the predominant language without first making even the slightest effort to adjust to the local language and customs. And it really comes across as assholery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because whatever happens on the national level affects what happens on the state level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They all affect each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They do, because no state exists in a vacuum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Right Has a Bluesky Problem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t this just a variation of the usual “if x candidate wins, I’m moving to Canada” rhetoric? All talk, no walk?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a lot of gaming

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Het Pijnstillersparadijs: Europese Zelfbeheersing vs. Amerikaanse Pillenfeest⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Screw your sick days! I’m gonna work myself into oblivion to be able to buy my big-ass coal-roller truck on credit and fill up my garage to the brim with crap that I’ll let someone else move when I die from a cheese and Ibuprofen overdose. 'Murica!!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Het Pijnstillersparadijs: Europese Zelfbeheersing vs. Amerikaanse Pillenfeest⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exaggerated, sure. The point still stands. Unfortunately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Between shipping manufacturing jobs elsewhere, and allowing in immigrants who do menial work, people at the low end of the economy are pretty pinched for work.

  Isn’t the unemployment rate close to record low? I mean, a lot of people work 2 and more full-time jobs to make ends meet, but that seems like a different issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear Americans, be prepare to get screwed!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump is banking on foreign companies moving their operations to the US. There’s also a high chance that Trump actually won’t do anything. The guy talks a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically... How fucked is the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re headed to Europe. Aiming for early next year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically... How fucked is the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just going take my family and leave the country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you have to be willing to do economics like in Europe and redistribute (the GDP) wealth to basically make everyone middle-class. But Americans are also unwilling to do that. That’s “socialism” or “communism” or whatever label conservatives like to add to it. The US may have a somewhat higher GDP than many European countries, but most Europeans feel much more financially secure than most Americans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is exactly my point. Many Americans don’t feel like the economy is better in their own lives. But, overall, from a macroeconomic perspective, the economy is doing great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you look at the average salary, it has kept up or exceeded inflation, but it has taken some time to catch up. But again, it’s the sentiment. If people feel pooper, they are poorer, even if they are not actually poorer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The economy is actually great. Most people just don’t have the brains to understand why when they feel like it isn’t. Sentiment is king.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do Americans win their country back?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently, the majority of Americans believe they won back their country yesterday. Looks like Trump is going to win the popular vote. That’s where we are.
