| I've been interested in trying mushrooms (in Minecraft) after learning how safe they actually are. But they are super illegal, despite being safer than alcohol and non-habit forming. Anyway... I've always enjoyed playing around with altering my state of consciousness. I learned lucid dreaming, and e... |

| I suppose you could say so. They would just be "anarchist police." Instead of reforming the existing police force, many argue that the current police force would have to be abolished completely, and a new system built in its place. Because systemic problems are built into the foundation of... |

| I'm not sure, but I believe it was the Lord of the Rings. I don't remember seeing Fellowship in theaters, but I think I remember seeing the Battle of Helms Deep in the theater. My big memory is the scene in Return of the King where the nazgul descend on Minas Tirith. I was absolutely blown away, and... |

| What's the harm in trying? If you don't like the job, you can quit. I will warn you that even though retail/fast food are seen as low end jobs, they can be difficult and I speak from experience there. Lots of sensory stimulus, especially in a kitchen there's lots of noise and temperature changes. An... |

| Comparing this to other historical events, we're doing pretty good honestly. Descriptions of "brother against brother" fit far more into, say, the second world war than 2020. Seriously, read about the second world war in Belarus. It won't put you in a good mood, but it will remind you that... |

| Unfortunately filling out online applications and then never hearing back is just how things are nowadays. So if you get rejected, don't take it personal. That said, they could just be busy or whatever and not gotten back to you yet. You can always apply somewhere else, or apply for a new opening at... |

I feel better now, though not great and I still have bad days. But I'm glad I didn't go through with it. I'll die eventually anyway, that'... |

Even if they're not the majority, there are still dozens of potential people who are friends. Not to mention that there are creative/intellectual ... |

| You know that we can subsidize small businesses that can't afford to give such leave, right? That is at least an option. And yeah, workers can theoretically move around to find a job that gives them the benefits they want. But, speaking as someone who currently works pretty near the lowest end of wa... |

| Dark Matter? It's based on a comic I haven't read and is about a crew of mercenaries who wake up on a spaceship with amnesia. After piecing together their identities they go on adventures and generally end up dealing with evil megacorporations. It has modern Whedon-esque banter, and sci-fi, things t... |
