Online education can be OK in some situations but a claim that you can do a whole degree worth or that it'll be high quality has been false every other time so why would it be true now?

As someone with an in-person degree and an on-line degree, you don't know what you're talking about.

How long must I wait

Map stans, did Russia's offensive on Pokrovsk finally stall or are they just prepping for the big push?

Wow she didn't deserve it

Yes, "world order" here is a euphemism for US hegemony, which is why this news is good.

"The international world order is “under threat in a way we haven’t seen since the Cold War”, the heads of the UK and US foreign intelligence services have warned." BBC News

Good.

Omg PLEASE link me that's fucking hilarious

What if we met in the cosy hut

Can we please NOT stigmatize people who smoke, many of whom want to quit but are unable and who tend to be among the least economically advantaged people in society? Frankly I think it's wrong to continually bully these people with greater and greater restrictions to their activities and to burden them with higher taxes. Second hand smoke indoors causes disease, but that it basically negligible outdoors. Socialists should not be judging people by their nicotine use. Or do we also judge Stalin and other pipe users, or Casto and his cigars?

Famously, Stalin reduced Hitler to an anxious shivering wreck whose final days (including birthday and wedding) were spent in an underground concrete sarcophagus in fear of the walls bursting in with water and drowning him alive, ears ringing from endless shelling. Hitler's terror of being marched through Moscow and skinned alive was so great that he killed himself. Same with a lot of other Nazis. Also Mussolini, who was hanged by Italian communists. Also all of the yankee soldiers who went off to invade communist Korea and Viet Nam, of whom nothing was left for their families to bury.

Kaaaaaalivka, Kalivka, Kalivka-moya!
