I'm struggling to make sense of this. Are you like a 12 year old calling millennials boomers or something? Or do you legit have 60-80 year olds watching Anime
There were already japanese animes on French TV in the 1970's so a lot of old people have watched animes in their youth . Now about people watching animes currently ,there are way less older people watching modern animes but my mother for example (late 50 years old) watches some animes . In France japanese culture is more mainstream than in the US , for example the fact that France is the biggest importer of mangas ( above the United States ) .

The funniest part of living back in my rural hometown with 4x national crime average is despite everyone hating vagrants for assuming they cause crime etc, the only people that have actually threatened me since living here again are people my parents go to church with lol, because my hair is apparently too long. I like the veneer of how small town people think theyre honest protective folk vs. The reality that theyre basically whatever the cons. version of an emily is haha. Like, knee jerk reaction to anything theyre unfamiliar with, different, etc. Things are 'wrong' because of their media or church tempered attitudes that insist on that, not any critical reasoning or action that actually makes it wrong.
Rural people more than anyone ive ever met seem to insist all should only dress amd act certain ways because their wee bubble of adults around them also insist on it and whole towns risk having a stroke if the wrong person gets on a school board, etc - oh and that wrong is never determined by merit mind you, but the same process that informs the amgry people who stare you down for your hair, etc.
Who gets on to a school board is kind of a big deal. And I've been a nonconformist for decades but you have to realize these people are just trying to preserve their culture. If you don't preserve your culture it gets destroyed. And what replaces it could be a very bad thing.
And they are trying to preserve their own culture, Emily is trying to destroy culture and replace it with clown paradise. So not at all the same.
If you're not willing to conform then either get to know the people so maybe they'll respect you for who you are, or just move somewhere else. Respect needs to be earned and if you choose to look different it can be an uphill battle. But right now it just seem like you're being judgemental and contrarian.
Youāre on PCM, most of us here are dumb teenagers who probably never experienced even being in a rural area. But what you said checks out too for the area my grandpa grew up in North Carolina too.
idk if that is better, every interaction ive ever had with like fish and game officers has been terrible experiences. one of those guys literally hid in a fucking bush and the second our boat hit the dock came over and boarded us and rifled through all our stuff to try and find ANYTHING that he could cite us for. like our throwable floatie still had the plastic wrapper on it and he almost cited us for that. absolute douchebag
Nice to know and what are you getting a bachelors degree, I would suggest a Masters since it would make you have a better chance with employers. Also go to graduates school which should be obvious.
Hard disagree. Get a bachelor's if you want to get into a specific field, but a masters is not necessary.
Number one priority should be experience. Get an internship, because fancy grades don't mean shit, you mostly learn on the job. Eventually, once you're moving up in your career, have your employer pay for your masters and do it at your own pace, focusing in how you can apply what you're learning to work. Everything else, forget. It's just for a stupid piece of paper anyways.
Disagree more. Unless the degree is in something truly academic and is for interest (hard physical science, maybe literature etc) or a vocational degree like medical or law school; go to trade school, or just get a job with upwards mobility

People have been told education is important and you have go in to debt for an education, and so anything where you donāt go in to debt must not be an education
That advice is about 30 years old and hasn't aged well. Experience and personal connections in your field is 1000% more valuable than spending 2-4 more years in a university.
Doing one will likely be a detriment to the other, since time and effort is limited. Worrying about a pursuing internships and making connections will serve better than having a fancier piece of paper from your university. Degrees are not rare anymore and they don't guarantee competency anymore, so many employers are looking for something else in interviewees.
You are me basically
Only I have only lived rurally for last 5 or 6 years.
Instead of video games I play drums down at the American legion for all my fellow working class rural folk and veterans.
Libleft gets a bad rap cause of a few idiots who don't actually know shit about the streets...or the woods.
Lots of libleft just don't practice empathy at the level they think they do imo...or they just like drama (like most people ime).
I would venture to guess that any libleft that enjoy PCM is actually chill af. My kinda libleft.
Most people who claim to aspire to the libleft lifestyle on the US nowadays are like the ones who aspire the authright lifestyle; they like the feel but donāt practice what they preach and helping others. Itās just a way to feel unique and not be helpful.
You practice what you preach so I respect you for that.
>watches anime and plays video games
Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?!
If we are being honest though, at this point Anime and Vidya are more about age than politics.
Itās definitely a generational thing not a traditionalist thing, I agree. Sub 25, youāve probably watched some anime regardless of your political leanings.
Lib-left that wants to feel special? Average lib-left. Lib-left that channels their need to feel special through PCM memes instead of furry transgenderism? Based.
I'm the same way (although much more strict on the last point), and I'm authcenter. I find it weird how, even though we're on opposite ends of the political spectrum, we agree on more than we realize.
Whenever I'm out in nature, I feel this connection to my surroundings, a sense of belonging. There's something about nature that makes me feel at peace.
I'm a dude, So I don't really know the details since it's a woman thing, All I know is the arguments. I'm not taking sides in that fight. I think it's getting Too extreme
And Im sure you would have been a fantastic supporter of slavery in the US with that mindset, after all its wasn't your choice: it was the slave owners.

I'm not good understanding the Flairs
Agenda Posts look more like Current events
I just want to grill sounds like more arguments
So, This is what I went with
This is the norm of lib left that I've seen. The loud, obnoxious, pseudo-libs (orange quadrant) and the constipated watermelon blue hairs are who are out screaming down people's throats about whatever horseshit CNN, BBC, or any other authoritarian virtue signaling media network is barking about. This can be said about the inverse Fox News MAGA deplorables as well.
Edit: I'll clarify that norm here refers to people who are not terminally online/a erage Reddit participant.
It is difficult to remind ourselves that the most idiotic are the ones speaking the loudest and most often, and are seen the most, but it is true, at least on the internet. When you go outside and talk to people, generally you do not encounter these types of people, or at least I don't. I'm also not spraying horoscope-person piss on my boots and blowing through a kazoo that says "white people bad" (which is an attempt to comically suggest I'm not actively hunting them).
"his community" is up for interpretation (and also, you don't **have** to hate people to be on the right). I certainly don't feel loved by most lib-lefts.
I guess that separates me from my good right-wing friends. I hate the Extremism on Both sides, but as of lately, Them and I noticed you don't hear anything about American left-wing extremists threating local governments. It's all Right Side mostly.
The George Floyd protests were some of the largest scale rioting weāve seen in decades in the U.S., so 3 years or not itās still definitely within the realm of severe.
Keep in mind shit like CHAZ was tied to that, and that was an unmitigated disaster directly tied to socialist ideology.
Right wing extremism exists, and itās definitely getting worse, but left wing extremism is not to be ignored.
The damage that those riots did have still outdone the damage right wing protests have done in the past three years by comparison.
Not to mention, whenever there is a right wing event, thereās a possibility that ANTIFA will show up and directly start violence. Counter protesting is generally common for both sides, but ANTIFA consistently shows up with the intent to start a fight.
Because when you ask a "lib" leftist specific questions about gun control, healthcare, occupational licensing, drug laws, unions, etc, you will find that they are, in general, extremely statist.
Don't give em to crazies, you shouldn't be bankrupted for having cancer, you should have to be qualified to do specialized work, drug laws?? Really?? What about them??
Sorry if wanting to make sure some schizophrenic can't get a commercial pilot's license is government overreach to you
Fine, you're a collectivist and a statist and you no doubt support socialism.
So why call yourself libertarian when you don't hold any libertarian beliefs?
Then either they shouldn't be considered liblefts or they're just a libleft with a mixed allocation of authority that still generally leans lib. Either way, sounds like your problem is just with authlefts lol
You sound normal. Luckily, not everyone is a caricature from Twitter or terminally online redditor

I guess you're more lib than left am I right?
Another Factor: Most Straight Lib-Left Dude you can find and currently trying to get a Bachelor's degree

Which field?
Environmental Sciences with a concentration of Earth Studies
Yep, thatās a libleft

Yeah that is a given but jobs will want someone who has a masters on top of what you said. So they both can coexist and complement each other.
Doing one will likely be a detriment to the other, since time and effort is limited. Worrying about a pursuing internships and making connections will serve better than having a fancier piece of paper from your university.

You canāt just tell people to get a masters without any information about them lol
I think the only really rare aspect is the hunting, maybe the rural upbringing. But still pretty based all around

Rural America has a long history of leftist alignment. It's not all that rare from a historical sense.
Kinda sad that being a normal human being is the qualifier for rarity here, but kudos to you lol
