    I have been wondering about career choice lately, as I am an introvert and want to start doing job soon. I have a concern that as in most part time jobs (I am currently a student in Canada and not allowed to work more than 20 hours a week on off-campus), those jobs are usually in a fast paced environments and requires a lot of interaction with people. The idea of it makes me nervous because i have never did any job before and i don't feel confident/comfortable about interacting with people.

    Do I need to change as an introvert to do these kind of jobs? In other words, does my introversion a roadblock to be successful in jobs that requires a lot of interaction with people?

    Sorry, I don't buy it. Gotta gut-check those polls.

    If Biden can win Georgia then this election is over already.

    I am automatically assuming that Trump is 2-3% underrepresented in the polls. If not, then Biden will get a landslide victory of epic proportions. It will be a Blue Tsunami.

    @Leo Gura if really 150 million people vote in this election as most political pundits are predicting, then yeah, it will be a blue Tsunami. 

    Republicans are master at voter suppression. If they can not pull that old trick out of the hat, they are gonna loose badly.

    This movie shows that one of the main reasons behind the division between political spectrum we see today in the world is facebook, google, youtube etc business model. Now a days the level of political polarization is very high and finding common ground is becoming harder and harder as they day goes by. People are subscribing more into conspiracy theories which I think should not be blamed upon digital platform alone but they significantly contributing to this problem.

    You see the idea that you like the most and it gets multiplied by these platforms by their algorithms. Thus you seldom see opposing idea/ other point of view ,succumb more into your personal biases and it is hard to fall out of this.

    This new Netflix documentary film will change your entire view on companies like google, facebook, youtube, instragram etc. I was basically shocked seeing this documentary film as it shows how this big companies are using those who use this platforms as a purple cow and suck the hell out of it. We have basically become digital slaves without being aware of it - and it didn't happen by accident, their entire business platform makes sure this so that they can earn money. It's the  21st century digital version of cocaine except the fact that most people are not conscious of taking this drug.

    Those who use these platform which I think most of the people here are, must see this documentary film to educate himself/herself about this dangerous phenomena happening right now. The only way you can unhook yourself from these "digital drug" is by taking the first step toward becoming aware about it. Also, besides education, this movie is good entertainment as well.

    @Apparition of Jack i kinda agree with you.

    When bernie got the momentum  and won early in some state primaries, kyle, krystal and cenk uyghur from tyt got very excited about bernie winning the nomination, which was in my opinion, very unrealistic even then.

    I remember before super tuesday, i was calculating how much vote centrist dems hold according to polls. I calculated that centrist candidates like pete+biden+amy klobuchar+kamala together had around 55-60 percent and bernie+warren had around 40-45. I was  wondering if centrists coalesce,  they will easily win.

    After that the did coalesce before super tuesday and biden got landslide. On the other hand, bernie and warren could not even get together.

    My point is, how could kyle, krystal and cenk miss that huge point? The first two think that they are denied their victory and they are rigged. I also find this narrative very naive and stupid. Coalescing is not illegal, in fact i think it is a smart move which progressive candidates couldn't do among themselves. 

    So yeah, it maybe possible that Kyle and krystal still licking from their wounds. I don't know about Cenk as I don't watch tyt regularly.

    The reality is that most Americans are simply not as progressive as Krystal and Kyle think they are

    @Leo Gura they are not as progressive as they think. Being progressive means you are more conscious. Their version of progressivism includes immaturity and stupidity instead of pragmatism. That is why they blindly try to hurt those who might help the progressive cause and help those like trump who WILL hurt progressive cause.

    They are actually hurting chances of  progress in a sense.

    @Leo Gura recently,  i have lost both my faith and patience from this show. Honestly, when i started watching it, i felt so good! I mean they were pointing out things that are missing in mainstream media, bringing populist left and right in one table and discussing what they want. But now, this show is descending into ideological cynicism and madness in my opinion.

    Firstly, people like krystal and kyle kulinski from the secular talk are either ideological blind or simply crazy and i am convinced about it. They spend way more time on criticizing corporate dems than trump and the Republicans. Even if they criticize trump, they kinda take "softer" approach and try to create equivalency between trump and corporate dems and biden which is just pathetic to hear. Yes, corporate dems and biden are no angel. But trump is definitely much much more harmful than them.  Both kyle and krystal are reluctant and lazy to strongly present that point. For that reason,  I think a lot of people who listens to be them are are not gonna vote in 2020 who would have most likely voted for biden otherwise. By doing this, both krystal and kyle are indirectly helping trump.

    Secondly, they like to say how corporate dems shame them for not supporting or voting for them. They say they are not dems and they are independents. My point is, if you are independent, why do you register as democrat and run in democratic primaries? If you claim not to be a democrat, then run as an independent or form another party. You run  as a democrat and when you loose , suddenly you become an independent - it is just hypocrisy. 

    Lastly, I think sam seders majority report and TYT is much more mature and evolved progressive channel than rising and secular talk. Rising and secular talk are hurting more than benefiting progressives.   

    Sometimes i feel like krystal and kyle secretly want trump to get reelected so that they can bash corporate dems and advance their ideological or whatever agenda.

    Not too much further, as it becomes self-defeating.

    I think most decent conservatives are starting to see that Trump is a disaster and he is incapable of really helping them.

    There will always be an extremist fringe, but I don't see them taking over the government. Trump was their best chance and he failed.

    @Leo Gura so are you convinced that trump is not gonna get reelected?

    @Marta Puig Borras i think holistic schools are costly because  a) they are hard to be found and b) they may give attention to each student individually and developing their curriculum. Also, the more it becomes common like other schools, the more it will get cheaper because then it will get adequate government funding.

    It's like organic foods. They are good for health, at the same time it will cost you extra.
