Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO
  • I got it as a 31-year-old with tons of experience. "Oh, we're looking for someone to do this unpaid internship, maybe that?" Nah man, I got this thing called "food" that I really like having at least once a day, and this other thing called "shelter" that's really nice to have. I'm not working for "experience", and honestly nobody should have to.

  • I'm so glad my community college refused to offer or honor any internship that was unpaid (or paid less than a set amount). We even got the local university to go along with it, so now pretty much nobody offers unpaid internships in the area because they all realize that they'd be missing out on a huge labor pool otherwise.

  • General Staff: Russia has lost 568,980 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022
  • Remember as well that modern small arms rounds are built to inflict serious injury if they don't kill you outright - it takes more personnel to evac and care for a wounded soldier (unless you're doing what Russia is ALLEGEDLY doing and just killing soldiers too injured to fight).

  • Kamala Harris Launches Presidential Bid: ‘My Intention Is to Earn and Win This Nomination’
  • Yang? Already flamed out once, and had very few specific policy goals beyond UBI.

    AOC? If she accepts, which I doubt, she'll face challenges of "she's too young" despite her being of-age by the inauguration, and would certainly see a federal or SCOTUS case trying to disqualify her. I could see BOEs in multiple states trying to boot her off the ballot because of it.

    Warren and Buttigieg both are saddled with lots of baggage - Warren's already been tarred as a nut by mainstream media, and Buttigieg's performance as Secretary of Transportation is...lackluster.

    Michelle Obama would be foolish - it would see the same challenges as Hilary in the "we're building another dynasty" angle.

    Oprah is a poor choice, Taylor Swift, same. Colbert and Fallon would seriously be BAD choices.

  • Kamala Harris Launches Presidential Bid: ‘My Intention Is to Earn and Win This Nomination’
  • Who exactly do they have who's "better", who ALSO would agree to run, who ALSO doesn't have a mountain of baggage saddled with them? I've seen Whitmer thrown around, but she's had a serious smear campaign and a credible assassination attempt against her already. Beshear's another, he said he isn't going to accept even if the DNC nominates him. Sanders also gets tarred with the "but he's old" brush, plus the GOP can run thousands of hours of "he's a literall socialist". AOC is also similarly divisive, and I don't think she'd accept anyway.

  • What if I told you...
  • Switch is a woman outside of the Matrix in the final cut. Early scripts called for Switch to be male in the Real World, but studio censors thought that was a little too daring.

  • Okay, *You* Can Stay
  • Pretty much this. Nobody else has really stepped into the role because despite a lot of outright fascist politicians existing, very, very few of them have the charisma or forceful confidence of Trump. That is the X factor: Trump throws 1000% of himself into any statement, no matter how minor, and preens and brags about every last thing. He doesn't back down, he doesn't acknowledge defeat, he doesn't even acknowledge if he's outright wrong. He is the archetypical firehose of falsehood, and people love him because of it.

    I can't see anyone - not Vance, Haley, Ventura, ANYONE - outclassing the sheer tidal wave of personality that Trump has cultivated around himself in the political sphere.

  • They just walking outside now
  • The Nazis never believed they were the "pure" ones. They believed that their generation, and the generation they gave birth to, were already lost causes and their children's children would be the first vanguard of their "perfect" Aryan race.

  • Somebody Fucked Up
  • Also, they were armed with new AR-15 rifles, which not all of them had been trained to handle yet. The rookie who, by his own admission, was handling the rifle in the following car said he fell (he was standing up) and believed the weapon discharged as the car accelerated, as his hand automatically gripped tighter due to the sudden acceleration. This is further muddied by the fact that the SS probably stole parts of the remains to cover up the fact they might have accidentally killed JFK.
