This is my go-to response whenever anyone wants to start talking politics with me. Mainly because whenever someone wants to talk politics it's usually not because they're liberal and I really hate talking with people who just want to prove that their opinion is the right one.

My tablet for school. I bought it because I was sick of shifting through stacks of handwritten notes while writing papers. Turns out it was the best purchase I made as a student. I haven't bothered to write on paper since, and it's saved me a ton of time and money (otherwise spent on printing supplies). I've started using it for work as well. I don't know if I could function without one now.

That really sucks. I've had coworkers like that before, pretty much everywhere I've ever worked. There's always at least one.

I wish I had better advice for you. Usually with them, I just keep my head down and try to stay off their radar as much as possible.

I love this YouTube transcript, this is awesome!

Also, as a bi person, this is something I always appreciated about video games. I remember telling my friends about it in highschool and they didn't believe me, it was like they didn't even notice. And we were all pretty hardcore gamers.

I left the brand out intentionally, but since you asked I got the Samsung Galaxy Tab. I think any tablet would work though. I only got this one because I already have a Samsung phone so I figured it'd be familiar enough, and the tablet was on a really good sale at the time. Once I'm done school and working full time I plan on upgrading to a Microsoft Surface.

Okay thanks for the clarification!

The Herman Cain award made me sad. It's people who are just the right mix of stubborn, alienated, uneducated, and gullible to dig their heels into something that really made no sense. And then dying because of it.

I wish I was smart enough to find a way to help them instead, but I always get too frustrated talking with them before I even begin to get close.

The post-secondary education system in my country is primarily an immigration pathway first, and an institute of higher learning second.

This is exactly what I do too, plus a tablet for quick notes or reading when I'm studying or somewhere a laptop might feel a bit excessive (basically anywhere that I need to be waiting for something).

There used to be a button to visit a random subreddit that I liked to use, until the day that I landed on the sub unironically dedicated to beating your wife/girlfriend. I saw one or two fucked up posts before I fully processed what I was looking at, that I don't even feel comfortable detailing here because I would hate to trigger someone. Truly one of the darkest corners of the internet.
