I feel this might be part of it. I love Colbert but I don't like late shows and never watched his except a couple clips online. I know I'm not the only one.

I don't even watch the Daily Show anymore but I always watch Jon Stewart's clips. Again, I can't be the only one.

Fuck this administration, I hope they burn in the hell they believe in. I hope they all get cancer.

I try my best to find redeeming qualities in everyone, but there is none to be found in them.

I read that in his voice and it worked perfectly. You nailed it.

At peak I (barely) juggled 7. I'm down to 3 now though because the sleep deprivation and stress was too much.

I still meet all deadlines, support the team, and meet or exceed expectations in performance reviews. That might be why it's a little harder to maintain, I know people who don't give two shits about that stuff.

I've probably taken years off my life, but I've bumped up being able to retire a little earlier so I guess it evens out.

Hopefully the homicide rate against ICE staff goes up soon though.

Do they even check their email or voicemails or even messages on Instagram?

True story. I started studying for a final basically the night before the final, but quickly realized I just wanted to play video games instead.

So I spent an hour and a half pulling up all my previous scores in the class, including two copies of the syllabus from two places just to be sure. I made a spreadsheet (in OpenOffice at the time, haha) laying out the scores and weighting them a few different ways per interpretation of the syllabi.

All models basically indicated I could skip the final and sleep in and, worst case, still pass the class by something like 1.2%. I checked, double checked, triple checked my figures.

...and then I spent the night playing video games and purposely didn't set an alarm the next day.

I was very relieved to have passed the class by the 1.2%.

I was not a good student. I do not advise this. I think I graduated by like 0.1 above the minimum required GPA.

Well my not being white and owing back taxes glory days might be over...darn

Same, and for every voter they might actually lose they'll replace it with heavier gerrymandering and kicking opposing voters off rolls.

This was in the US, west coast, about 7 years ago.

I'm not entirely sure the company did it purely for ADHD, I think possibly because they knew 8hr meetings 5 days a week were a boring, slog for anyone and they at least acknowledged that one could fidget and still pay attention.

edit: Sadly as with most things in the US, they got acquired by some megacorp and went to crap. Bunch of people I knew laid off. I don't even think the office exists anymore.

I don't disagree with the necessity of a class war.

But when people like this inhibit progress towards a class war, they will be removed as a hurdle and I will absolutely be happy about it. There is nothing wrong with that.
