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.

It isn't about disagreeing politically, I disagree with friends of mine politically. It's about the fact that they go out of their way to hurt others and cause suffering, and they think it's fine.

I'm not OK with that because I'm a human being that cares - sorry you don't understand that.

I grew up with people saying, "happy as a frog on a log" or something.

Ah, yes, let's go with that.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, after having gone in expecting it to be a flop.

It might be my favorite Superman movie during my lifetime. Haven't decided yet.
