What's something that you feel genuinely sad about that you've been keeping in for a while?
I have an awesome job at a telescope. I love it. It's an industrial jobs and I get to work in a range of things from moving giant machinery with overheads cranes to repairing fiber on light collecting instruments. Last year a telescope operator quit and they created a temporary assignment because it would be too expensive for me to fill in at my hourly rate (though it's already in my job duties), effectively to move me to salary. Management and university HR determined a salary and implemented it effective immediately without any good faith offer. By the time I realized how bad the salary was and complained about it, I lost 214 hours of overtime and $7500 dollars. I continued working the telescope operator position as hourly for the next few months until they assigned someone else (who doesn't have the job duties). Their explanation? "We though you agreed" and "you worked an exempt job". Terrible explanations for how this was legal. I've been borderline tolerating it but this week I left the telescope balling with tears in my eyes and crying because I can't tolerate it anymore and likely won't return to work because they have destroyed all my trust in management and the university. Such a small amount of money for them but a huge amount for me.

'I Don't Hate the Americans': Latest Lego Video Promotes Empathy Between People of US and Iran
While this video is very touching and speaks many truths, does anyone feel the omission of terror that the Iranian regime has put on its people? The Iranians I have spoken to in the US have said they are happy about the killing of Iranian leaders, though this was in the beginning of the war and they may feel different now. Don't get me wrong tho, I can't wait to piss on Trump's and bibi's grave

There’s a lot of confusion about what democratic socialists want, and that’s fair. Even within our group, there are differences among us.

Most people can't afford a general strike either. We ourselves are having our liberties surpressed. The only ones able to lash out against the oligarchy are those who have already lost everything to the machine, and even then some of them end up too broken to be able to do something meaningful. Luigi is a rare case where action actually resulted in change and it spoke to the majority of the country who is tired of being abused like indentured servants.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell myself and others like us,
Evil wouldn't be trying so hard if they didn't feel they were in danger. We've made incredible strides in justice for the past two hundred years and they're not going to stop us. The road has always been rocky. I'm an atheist, but love your neighbor and do God's work, God does no work on their own but only through your hands. Make your hand loving hands. Be well my friend.

Where did the conspiracy theory that America was behind 9/11? Was there any evidence to back up these claims (real evidence)?
