Don't you have any officers, old guards or just well respected members to explain this to them? They kind of just seem like yappers and if they don't stop after being asked politely then they need to be reprimanded and turned away if they fail to stop. If they're good faith comrades then a good faith discussion will stop it. If they aren't then you rooted out the problem that was sort of sabotaging your meetings anyway and they needed to go.
Hmm, insightful. You've given me some stuff to think about.
You forgot they're also really good at trampling children instead of just walking around them
thanks 🙏Yeah, I'm fundamentally unsettled greatly by death though so riding it out feels like crap to me.
Like I have a clock to find meaning and I better hope I do before it runs out.
Bro are you me? Haha that part at the end is so relatable. Thanks for sharing that. Misery loves company as the saying goes
Well, I thought I did want to do teaching and that's what my degree was in but I found myself giving advice and direction that I didn't believe in and that kind of left me feeling a bit ill. (Just did student teaching)
I guess I do believe it intellectually but emotionally it feels like ash. I guess that could be depression or something? I don't know.
I guess that's the kicker. My Marxism combined with my evangelical brain worms so that vapid consumption feels empty. Even "non-vapid" consumption with things like traveling or whatever feels empty.
I feel like I'm the protagonist of "The Fever" and all of my existence is dictated by a desire to go do something but ultimately being driven towards doing what is "safe" or "what im supposed to do". That stress of the contradiction is gnawing at my brain and I don't know what to do about it.
Right? Like realistically I'm doing fine and I think my personality is fine and I think I could find a life partner. I think I could find hobbies I like and develop them, but goddamn looking at it from where I am just feels vapid and denying the real situation of the world.
I need a revolution to go die in but also I'm a coward 
Yeah, I guess after I graduated I thought I would feel better about this sort of thing but that really hasn't helped.
I've been thinking about seeking professional help.
Title mostly.
I'm doing fine right now, had an argument with my brother but overall I got my path forward ironed out, but I can't shake the feeling that all of what I do is just some pathological need to stumble forward into what I'm supposed to do but rather than actually being a meaningful calling or direction.
Maybe I'm just depressed.
It has optional disappearing which I guess people like
You can do normal text dm's on snap now
Their cudgel is going to be disengaging economically from the farcical de-industrialized Western rump. The winds are blowing away from the American empire. Soon we'll all be 
and no one will be 
Running away is how you capture territory in war? 🧐
Wonder how they're gonna handle vi's transition into a fascist cop. I hope they don't end up with messaging that waffles between the people who direct systems of exploitation and those violently lash out against it are equally bad.
Send them nukes! It's funny to try and imagine Biden being in charge of another Cuban missile crisis
I'm still confused on how they edited the turtle parts out 🤔
Pretty much just the title. Every Sunday we get together and play for 4 hours and honestly there are like 100 things I'd rather do. I love DnD shows and content (which I acknowledge aren't actually existing DnD) so I keep getting suckered into giving it a try.
I just hate to quit mid session because thats rude and is a pain to everyone else but also I don't want to spend 4 hours every Sunday on my day off doing something I'm not enjoying.
How do I end this lightly? Can I?
I'm doing a research project on evaluating Communist party support in the context of the application of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, relating widespread support for policies with the relevant socialist theory. Anyway, while doing research I stumbled across this usage of K-means clustering to analyze the data and with this application of a data analysis tool, the support for the party, while still high, varies greatly from what is initially suggested from the surveys.
Looking at it I find some of the justifications they use for describing typologies a little fishy. The questions asked are whether or not you trust the CPC on a four point scale with 1 being not at all and 4 being high amounts of trust, with the second question being about support for the one party system using the same scale. In any case they use K Clustering to break these groups into the four possible typologies and cluster the two of the middle groups together under the justification that people can be "ambivalent". However, this feels like unnecessary simplification of the clusters in order to present the "ambivalence" as being more varied than it is. Just because people might have incoherent views on the issue doesn't mean they do and presenting the issue as that feels like it could be "gerrymandering" data. I'm completely open to my speculations and reservations being completely off base, this is very estranged from my major, but I thought I would ask her for some help in understanding it.
You guys are pretty smart sometimes !meow-tankie
The part I'm discussing occurs on page 56 where they begin to explain their statistics and methods.
