Dude it seriously fucks me up that the Voat thing was almost 10 years ago. It feels like it was just a couple of years ago.

Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks for the advice!

Juris Doctor, it’s what you have to get to become an Attorney in the US and Canada.

Honestly, I’m starting to think the Nazis may have won, and they just shifted their strategies to playing the longcon.

Honestly, we are potentially on the cusp of the next great societal shift not only in how countries are ran, but probably also where the sphere of global influence resides. I don’t know how it will all end it, whether it will end with China superseding the US as a global influencer and power, or if we will go the way the Nazis have been trying to direct us since the 30s and the entire world takes a dramatic shift to the far right.

Quite frankly, it’s terrifying. Being in the United States and watching our political climate dissolve into a party who is afraid of embracing the young and go further left, and a party whose only interest is owning the libs and helping the 1% become even wealthier while the rest of us have to suffer through greedflation is really frustrating. My wife and I have talked about leaving, but we have JDs, and American JDs are basically useless outside of the U.S. unless you went to Harvard/Stanford/Yale and can land a job in Big Law, which we did not.

I’ve thought about going back to school and getting a degree in programming, or trying to find another way to learn and get the experience/certifications I would need, but I have absolutely no idea where to start with that or how to look for those kinds of jobs.
