  1. Think Stanford Prison Experiment where you set a school up to look more like a prison and people start acting like it is.
  2. Ugh, this is a legit thing and so many of the conservative posters here wouldn't understand it let alone even acknowledge institutionalized racism.
  3. No they aren't obvious MAGA bots, they generally are more DSA or Warren kind of users.
  4. You are trying to obfuscate, the idea that gun owners in this country that are fighting against regulation are somehow a very diverse group is absolutely not the case. The racial makeup of all gun owners may be fairly non-white, but again they aren't the ones who are pushing back against common sense regulation.
  5. Are you under the impression that these aren't the kind of people that shout the loudest the second they hear the phrase gun control? It really doesn't matter who owns guns when the conversation is being driven by a specific ideological group.
  6. All these new voting disenfranchisement and abortion laws being passed that seem extremely unconstitutional seem to be specifically designed to test the SC or the surge in federal court appointments McConnell held back for years.
  7. I know it's just twitter, but a lot of people I've seen that attack her are black, mostly because of her being a prosecutor and championing policies that jail mothers/parents for their kids being chronic truants and other remarks she's made. I really don't like her either because I really don't get the feeling that she's a true progressive like Warren or Bernie.
  8. Was going to say that I'm pretty certain @bad_teammate owns several kinds of firearms, there are lots of gun owners who know it's time for something to be done and yet the GOP refuses to act even though the NRA is becoming less and less popular.
  9. Was joking, but yeah going from a school where I graduated summa cum laude to a school where you have to work your ass off to get a B (at least in grad school) and not pass your courses (needing a C+ for a pass and have to keep a 3.0 GPA to remain academically eligible) after studying for hours and hours was humbling and caused me to slip into a bad depression. I am so much happier now and don't regret not getting a Masters at least.
  10. Flunk courses, have to get reinstated, then left on my own accord. Probably could have appealed again but I was not wanting to do a PhD after 3 semesters of courses and labwork with having to TA. Thanks for making me feel bad again .
  11. Haha, there are people that were on Shaggy (and here still) that presumably graduated from UT and didn't think humans contribute in any significant way to climate change (oh it's happening but the Earth always goes through warming and cooling cycles). Makes me feel less stupid about flunking out of grad school at UT.
  12. There have been a few suicides from kids that were at school on that day. It's so heartbreaking.
  13. Yep, what we need to do is site every single person down in front of a psychiatrist for months on end before they're allowed to purchase a gun. That way all you "guns don't kill people" knuckle-draggers can finally make that argument.
  14. Fuck yes, let's raise those taxes and get universal healthcare with access to mental health professionals. Second, you literally just made the 80s/90s Tipper Gore argument that the media is to blame and literally not the weapons themselves that are designed to kill. Fascinating
  15. Schools are safer than 25 years ago, meanwhile kids experience trauma when they go through events like this and trauma at a young age is going to lead to some severe problems later in life. I'm cool with that though, we'll have a nation of poorly-adjusted more likely to commit suicide adults in a generation just so I can get a 3" erection shooting my assault rifle (LOL you don't know what that even is lib!!!!!) with my redneck buddy who drops hard R n-bombs regularly.
  16. Came to post those videos. They're only further proof that she's not pandering at all, she absolutely gets what our economy has done for the poorest and most vulnerable.
  17. These people exist in much larger numbers than you think, just a-okay with being Nazis now.
  18. LOL, it's time to revamp the 9th grade civics course and remove any mention of "checks and balances" because evidently that literally doesn't exist if people just ignore the rules.
  19. Outside of Atlanta, basically every 100,000+ metro sized city has a county that is solidly Blue. Augusta (Richmond), Savannah (Chatam), Athens (Clarke), Macon (Bibb), Columbus (Muscogee), and there's the Black belt here that is blue just like most of the other southern states. The problem is all those places are so concentrated in a mostly rural state still and are outnumbered by rural whites and white-flight suburban/exurb whites. Georgia is going to flip, it's inevitable unless there is a huge change in the demographic swing we're setting, just like Texas. It's so completely transparent that the GOP is going to intentionally try to inflict as much harm as they can and circumvent if not outright change laws to favor themselves even when they're a minority party here.
  20. I hope like hell Warren can take some of Biden's likability with black people then, just show how much he has supported the War on Drugs and tough on crime laws that have disproportionately affected black men and women.
  21. Did you miss him sending Pence for that whole stupid fiasco at that Colts game?
  22. Georgia is Alabama + Atlanta. You don't have to go too far out of the metro here to see shit like this, fucking awful old white people suck so much.
  23. Georgia telling the rest of the south to hold my beer. There is a huge petition of actors, directors, etc. who have signed on to boycott the state and refuse to work here if this was signed. I don't see the film studios immediately moving out, but this going to have some sort of effect. Go drive off a cliff you evil, racist piece of shit Kemp.
  24. Albies has 3 career grand slams, Freeman somehow has 0.
