    I have no idea what my GPA was in high school, college, or law school. I literally laugh out loud when I see people list their GPA in their resume, especially when they're like 10+ years out of school and have plenty of professional experience.

    It's kinda funny, I got hired to start after college before I was even sent my degree, and I've technically never proven to my job that I have a degree for 9 years now

    You’re right imo. I don’t think Trump’s picks represent a unified theory of governance, like say W’s with the neocons in 2000 or Clinton’s Third Way in the 90s. I think these picks very much are just poking the eye of his enemies+loyalty tests for the Republicans in Congress. He is going to pursue vengeance against people he dislikes and do plenty of terrible things, but he isn’t approaching this from an ideological place. Not that that makes a huge difference in the end, I think it’s just going to result in a lot of chaos.

    It's so wild how little spine these politicians have. I'm not surprised but man, am I learning that some of my friends and family have way too much faith in "checks and balances."

    EDIT: It's really fucking disturbing to read that politicians think "Trump runs the show" when, quite literally, if all they did was stand up to him... He'd have reduced power.

    Poor baby, you're starting to lose it.

    I've lied to every job I've had in the last 17 years that I have a degree. Not my fault they don't check.

    So, if Gaetz doesn't get voted in and he just quit his job. Does that mean he's suddenly not serving the government anymore? Is it that easy to get rid of him?

    Years ago Jason mentioned that when applying for jobs, employers do not give a crap about your GPA if it's more than two years after you graduated, so no use to put it on a resume

    Honestly, I don't see a problem with having a social media site that isn't focused on politics all the time. There are a ton of other places to see political news.

    Banning accounts for mentioning Palestine is obviously bad though.

    Oh yeah for sure, I don't think I put mine on my resume. Just feel like I should have at least proved I graduated for an engineering job? XD

    I do this shit all the time and don’t give two shits what people think. My boss two levels above me used to give me shit for it and I just stopped engaging with him about it and he doesn’t say a word now.

    Another thing that is happening is with those new guidelines on Twitch. They just demonetized a completely non-political Iranian-American gaming streamer because he had "Iran" as a tag, and he didn't list his stream as being political content. As if telling people "hey I am an Iranian" is inherently political.
