I'm not saying those are excuses for anything or they're good or bad reasons, just trying to answer the question.

People are trying; the media covers very little. But also:
- Police are heavily militarized, and it's scary.
- The USA is huge and we can't just aggregate somewhere, so pushback is distributed.
- We have no employment protections or healthcare, and could easily be fired and injured for protesting.

my pebble round from ten years ago still works; it's a great sorta-smart watch that isn't gigantic and clunky. the new version looks great.

I think it's like most things - if your school is good and has an enduring program, you're likely to hear of it. No one came to watch or anything, but you'd hear about it when teams won tournaments. At the time I was at a massive school (I transferred out) and that was the best thing about it.

I am a former policy debate kid (reformed) and I think policy debaters are *exactly* the ones Mara is talking about. It did me a world of good in learning to speak up and organize thinking, but MAN I had to un-learn some exhausting behavior.

Are those "people" in the room with us right now?
Empowering people to find the setting to turn it off probably counts as engagement on some PM's cursed dashboard, I'd believe that.

2000 was my first time voting in a presidential election, and I was a Florida voter who voted by mail. It absolutely set the tone for how I've felt about the government for my whole adult life.

I fully support not giving a shit about hockey, BUT it is also really fun to go see minor league teams play and get emotionally invested for no reason. it's usually pretty cheap and there are always tickets available; you don't even have to sit near other people.

Most universities are walkable; I don't think that counts. The area around UT has gotten less pedestrian friendly in the last 10 or so years, but even back in the day I wouldn't say Austin was esp walkable unless you wanted to wait 2-3 business days for a bus to take you to another part of town.
