Starting to think this site is an op to create as much dumb drama as possible. Been around less than a year and already going the way of /r/socialism.

Not true. Independence has been a fringe position for decades (partly because of state repression, but for better or worse it is a dead movement). In a referendum this November, Puerto Ricans voted for statehood. Statehood is the will of the Puerto Rican people, regardless of how American leftists feel about that. Support for self-determination means supporting their admission into the union.

I mean that might technically be the case, but I imagine at that point that one’s weight would get in the way of said manual labor and Olympic athletics. The fact is that any doctor in the world would put “maintaining a healthy weight” alongside “quit smoking” at the top of their lifestyle recommendations. Anything else is just :amerikkka: AmeriKKKope.

Obesity is a social crisis created by capitalism. Negationism on that point is not fundamentally different from the people who say climate change is natural and not that bad.

If they don’t at least let PR become a state, then they are truly one of the most incompetent parties to have ever existed.

I’m not trans, but I would wager that CTH had easily the highest proportion of trans users of any noteworthy sub that wasn’t specifically an LGBT board.

lmao two of the top reddit posts are about how Trump should be impeached a second time. wtf lol

I might speculate that this is a hackneyed attempt to distract from the stimulus checks, but honestly I think it’s just libs libbing.

It’s honestly a pretty good game, speaking as someone who didn’t follow any of the hype or coverage before release and went in blind, with no expectations other than it being a crpg (I should also note that I’m playing on PC). The main quests are good. On the other hand, I fully agree that it should have been delayed a few more months. The traffic AI is the biggest issue imo.

Weird place to ask about this, I know, but I know we have some blue collar workers here, or at least the old CTH did. How does one go about picking and getting started in a skilled trade? All of my family went to college, but it’s simply not working out for me. I went my entire life assuming I would go through college, so I have no knowledge about how to start a career otherwise. Would the state AFL-CIO be a good place to start? Could I contact a local of say, the IBEW and ask if I could talk to someone about what their job is like?
