    The Mobile Passport app kicks ass. I entered the customs area at 3:46 and I was totally out and though customs at 3:47. And it's free (not like stupid Global Entry and awesome but stupidly costly TSA Pre).

    Sometimes government works.

    can you feel the struggle within?

    Is agitator a pejorative?

    It isn't in my bubble/subculture/family. It evokes someone getting out there trying to advocate for positive change.

    it has agitate right therein the word

    it literally means "one who annoys"

    Some people/systems need to be annoyed.

    We're talking about real people here

    not Hanzo mains

    I stick up for off-meta picks in team chat. "If they're good, we'll be fine. Just play your best!" I'll say. Just gonna make things even harder if the team starts getting salty in the spawn room.

    but fuck Hanzo mains

    "Hanzo main apologist" in the streets, "fucking damnit we don't need the entire fucking Shimada clan in every single match" in the sheets

    I guess I also see it as authorities using the term agitator to describe any sort of progressive advocate or protester, in order to defame them, so I just kinda skip past that and figure that someone being called out as an agitator has a high chance of being a good person.

    Cred let's smash the state

    it's so cold in this office

    why tho

  • navgoosenavgoose Registered User regular
    No?

    An agitator riles up the crowd then throws stuff at police and runs away leaving the peaceful protestors to bear police retaliation.

    Agitator goal is to provide cover for looting.

    I am mixed on SJW

    Because it represents 2 things to me:

    Someone who stands up for equality and fairness and progressive values

    but it also conjures up images of "It's not my responsibility to educate you, shitlord"


    so I eye it suspiciously

    Idk that there's a good word for the latter but I usually think of it as being a tumblr

    Which is unfortunate since I like a lot of tumblr stuff to which I'm linked

    But it's the closest word I know. Speaking as someone who identifies as an sjw

    Yeah I don't get why offices do this. Like for me I'd rather be a little over warm at the office than cold, being cold at an office is the worst there are no good ways of warming up.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Called ISP, did some troubleshooting

    Dude was like "we have to send a technician. Soonest we can send someone is Tuesday"

    I was like my dude that is not okay, you make me wait until Tuesday to get my internet and TV back, then I'll call [The Competition] and have them here today, this afternoon

    And he was like "well we can do Sunday"

    Alright, fine.

  • QuidQuid Definitely not a banana Registered User regular
    Huh.

    That's twice I've flagged one of the mods and they were talking in the thread. Both times were about Astro City.

    Kurt Busiek is a wizard theory might be valid.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agitprop
    Oral-agitation networks: The Bolshevik leadership understood that to build a lasting regime, they would need to win the support of the mass population of Russian peasants. To do this, Lenin organized a Communist party that attracted demobilized soldiers and others to become indoctrinated in Bolshevik ideology, dressed up in uniforms and sent to travel the countryside as agitators to the peasants.[9] The oral-agitation networks established a presence in the isolated rural areas of Russia, expanding Communist power.

    Agitational trains and ships: To expand the reach of the oral-agitation networks, the Bolsheviks pioneered using modern transportation to reach deeper into Russia. The trains and ships carried agitators armed with leaflets, posters and other various forms of agitprop. The agitational trains expanded the reach of agitators into Eastern Europe, and allowed for the establishment of agitprop stations, consisting of libraries of propaganda material. The trains were also equipped with radios, and their own printing press, so they could report to Moscow the political climate of the given region, and receive instruction on how to custom print propaganda on the spot to better take advantage of the situation.[10]

    Breitbart drank well from the lessons of the Leninists

    The propaganda train with the printing press is such a period-specific, geography-specific and striking image; I dig it (because of Isaac Babel, of course).

    Hrm, apparently in order to get a teaching certificate through Western, I'd probably need to spend about $20k on top of being without a real job for about two years.

    Chanus what original series episodes have stood out for you so far

    hmm let's see. i find a lot of the episodes kind of blur together because the plots are so samey

    The Enemy Within was fun. Some people may disagree but I thoroughly enjoy Shatner's acting.
    City on the Edge of Forever, of course. That was just great.
    The Corbomite Maneuver wasn't amazing but was clever and also clint howard!

    I dunno all the episode names, but um

    the one where there's a monster in the mines killing people was kind of campy x-filesy and fun
    the one with the kids that was sort of beyond thunderdome sideplotish

    there are others i'm sure i've watched so many in like a week and a half omg
