Next avoid news aggregators as they serve you information that you are going to like, or mostly agree with, in an attempt to keep you on the platform longer. Go directly to news source websites to stay informed.

So would you recommend avoiding political subs on Reddit?

Bernie is 76 right now, and will be 78 in 2020, which would make him the oldest candidate from a major party. What happens if 2020 comes and Bernie decides he's too old to run? Who is your backup choice?

Its honestly really dumb. Somehow, requiring someone to show that they're the person they say they are, which every civilized country does for elections, is racist.

People who lost their license because of repeated DUIs, people who never got a license to begin with, and people who let their licenses expire and haven't gotten it renewed yet.

Yep, for example, as part of the development deal for the new TD Garden in Boston, the development company was supposed to sponsor events at the TD Garden for Boston Public Schools.

I did what you said and I visited some foreign countries and smoked some weed. But apparently I shouldn't have admitted that on my security clearance application. I can't tell whether it was the trip to Egypt that screwed me, or that I told them I used to smoke weed but hadn't in 1.5 years, but one of them did.

So yeah, went from having a job offer with a government agency to getting that offer retracted.
