Trump endorsed Paxton lmaoo .
Let's Gooo. Lol
Anyone kinda surprised that Trump doesn't attack thune at all despite them backing different candidates in republican primaries ?
I know Thune is the senate majority leader but I have never gotten the impression that Trump cares much about any of that. He used to frequently attack Mitch but nothing so far against Thune. Thune has endorsed Cornyn and backed Murkowski in 2022 despite trump attacking her back then .

I am tired about the racism and prejudice Indians face even from "progressive" folks
It's so common to make sweeping generalisations about India or indians and just slide with it . You can say whatever you want and noone really seems to care . I don't like to use the terms but saviour complex and holier than thou attitude is visible more than ever . You see a indian being rude to service staff ? " Must be a upper caste ". ( Even though treating service staff like dirt is a pan india problem )
Now naturally I can't be denying that indian women have it rough and it's obviously a challenge being a lady in india . Yet how many comments or even articles do you see with that generalise Iran ? Somehow suddenly ppl have nuance and it's the IRGC that's executing women ( yes it is not denying that ) but all this goes down the drain when it's about india.
Another example is how folks always somehow know that generalising all Israelis for their crimes in Palestine isn't ok. Even though a very large number of Israelis support one state solution and Israel would almost certainly still annex all of west bank under a non likud government.
The rant is specifically about progressives ofc , conservatives think we are subhuman or something.

Do you think being a man still has advantages in politics regardless of party ?
I do tbh .It's somewhat subtle but not that difficult to spot when you pay attention. For example progressive women tend to have an issue with men turning out for them . For example AOC always performs better among women compared to men . Warren also performs much better among women then men. Compare that to sanders who enjoys a relatively balanced support base in terms of gender .
Yes Vermont is slightly more progressive compared to Massachusetts but sanders is also more progressive compared to Warren .
An additional example is that of Platner , while polls this far out aren't that reliable but it seems that he is doing very well among men despite being a progressive.
While I obviously don't have data for it but I think there is a non negligible percent of even progressive men who have an easier time finding male candidates trustworthy etc .
To some extent I think it also has to do with the fact that women who rant too much are seen as whinny snd annoying while men who do are seen as passionate .

Decline in US fertility rate since 2000 .
Source is wiki . As y'all can see it has been declining quite a bit since 2020s. Since our generation is the loneliest by a lot of accounts, I feel it's probably going to decline more in the coming years .
Come to think of it , would Turkey actually be a better place if he never entered politics ?
Is someone of my skill set actually hireable in this economy ?
So to give you a bit of background, I will be completing my degree in about 6 months from now I live in an Asian country.
I feel I can do very well in operations, supply chain management or jobs that need optimising like fixing delays etc . Can do ok in jobs related to my degree as well since most jobs have a big training period )
Open to working anywhere in the world atm as well as remote across timezones. Pay isn't much of a bar working remote since I am happy with about 20k USD as well. ( Onsite obviously varries depending on where it is )
What sectors can I work in as a fresh mechanical engineering grad ?

So to give you a bit of background, I will be completing my degree in about 6 months from now ( worst case scenario here since I might need an extra sem ) My grades aren't the best since I had a mental health issue for the last few years but atleast I am happy I am completing my degree .

Can I buy 2 economy seats as a single person for some extra comfort ?
I am not overweight or anything but I feel it's more comfortable that way instead of a business seat ( mostly cuz I don't like spending that much ) can I do it ?
TIL that president Truman once refused to ride the Dumbo ride at Disneyland since the Elephant is the symbol of the GOP
en.wikipedia.orgA lot of Truman's quotes are pretty accurate and foresightful.
Do you think Murkowski switches parties or becomes independent after the midterms ?
She already narrowly managed to best a trumpist candidate in 2022 and hadn't frankly done much to avoid a repeat of the same . 2028 will be a very blue year as well so I don't think it makes much sense for her to go through all the crap that comes with being a anti trump republican . Dems also don't have a lot of bench strength in Alaska other than Peltola or some other Begich so they would almost certainly welcome her .

Does a blue wave in 2026 and 2028 mean that dems are able to gerrymander multiple states after the 2030 cencus ?
Title basically.
