Let's Build this together!

Hi all UPN/Pre-Nursing people! I just wanted to write out some tips on how to look best on your NursingCAS applications for your goal starting semester. This is a pretty detailed guide with some good calculations to determine other scores beyond just the basic impaction score. This also provides some resources for your TEAs that I found most useful. This guide is directed towards those applying to SJSU especially those on the Pre-Nursing Track at SJSU.
Don't flop your first semester: It is true that the first semester of college has a learning curve, but it is still important that you stay focused and maintain a high GPA. For many this is the easiest semester, but don't be fooled English 1A or Chem30A/BIOL65 will bite you in the butt last second.
Aim for a high GPA not solely TEAs: As much as people brag about their TEAs scores a GPA at SJSU is much more important! If you have a 4.0 GPA and score lower on your TEAs you will have a way better shot at getting in. Take this for example: a person got 2 A- in 3 unit courses out of the big 8. This makes their cumulative GPA a 3.94 GPA. If this person applied to nursing against a person with a 4.0 this score is then doubled, for impaction. 8 compared to a 7.88. With 2 A-'s you now need to do better than 3.5% of whatever teas score the kid with a 4.0 got. Also keep in mind that SJSU already requires a 84% to even apply leaving a 16% playing field. If you get a 4.0 and a 84% a person with 3.94 needs to get a 87.5% on their teas!

• BE ADVISED EVERY SINGLE POINT COUNTS!
• Realistically you are okay and should not flip out with a 3.94 GPA to this is just being used as a clear example. Just remember that if you keep a high GPA that you are saving yourself a mental breakdown before taking a TEAs.
  • Be sure to get the extra points as well if you know you don't have perfect stats. This will greatly improve your odds at getting in, especially for Fall applicants.

Don't rely on comparing stats to AllNurses: This is a hot take, but hear me out; 60 kids get into SJSUs nursing program and maybe 10 people post their stats on AllNurses. I am throwing no shade saying this, but these are the people that are for the most part going to get in. Some claim to have 4.0 GPAs, 98 TEAs, 2000hrs of Healthcare experience, and co-reqs done too. Obviously they are going to get in but, that spot is now taken from a person bringing it down to 59 others. It is nice to have a comparison to, but unless more people post on it people are going to have skewed to the right opinions. There are tons of applicants and there are different groups of people apply. The overachievers, the average, and the prayers. Most people are average and do not have the crazy stats these people have. There are some people that do post stats that are more relevant to compare to such as a 4.0 with an 88% or something like that. Again this is highballing and it is important to really dig deep into who got accepted when using this platform. A 92% TEAs is what even the pre-nursing advisors and these guys want you to drop the major. Do realize that if you have a lower GPA you will need a higher TEAs. Doing this calculation [20(4-(current GPA))*3] will tell you what you need in comparison to a 4.0 GPA.

• Here is an example with a 3.8GPA [20(4-3.8)*3] = [20(.2)*3] = 4*3 = 12, this means (excluding extra points), you need to score at least a 96% if a kid with a 4.0 got a 84% on their TEAs.
  • For understanding the 20 comes from the calculation 10 (to make the solution a whole number) multiplied by 2 (because the GPA is multiplied by two in the impaction score calculation) and the 3 comes from the fact each .1 of a GPA equates to 3% of a persons TEAs score (1/30 = .033333*3 = .1). The 20 contains the multiplication factor of 2 already so we don't need to multiply 3 by 2 as well.

The minimum GPA and TEAs: Yes it is true that if you do have a pretty poor GPA (3.3-3.4) and don't have the TEAs to make up for it then it is probably unlikely you will get into the program. But, at this campus the stats are never posted for who gets in and during which semester. Recently SJSU raised their TEAs from a 78% all the way up to a required 84% which to me is crazy high! I assume this is to cut down the amount of applicants and in turn this makes the TEAs pretty irrelevant to the total stats. With only a 16% max gap, now any person who is able to apply to nursing must have at least that score making the GPA that much more important. If you have a 3.9 GPA and a 94 on your teas, a person with a 3.8 will still get outcompeted regardless of TEAs score. This is most likely why the GPA was lowered for nursing and is now a 3.3 instead the previous 3.4 because some kids may have done well in the GPA aspect and messed up their TEAs. Aim for a higher GPA but do realize that a lot of kids do manage to get really good GPAs that correlate with good TEAs scores. Get a good GPA, 3.8 and above is pretty good, a 3.9+ is quality work for both Fall and Spring semesters, and make sure to aim for higher than the TEAs threshold.Nursing advisors deter people from applying but, it is accurate that as of Fall 2024 that you have to be at the top to get in. Keep in mind that there are 500+ applicants and only 60 get in that is only 12% of the applicant pool. You need to aim for the 80th percentile at the minimum to be on the waitlist first round (beating 400 other applicants)
TEAs Test: Now I know I have talked a lot about the importance of the GPA, but regardless you still do want to do well on the TEAs. Your TEAs score, like I talked about above, is directly related to your GPA. If you got a lower GPA you need a high TEAs and if you got a high GPA you can slack on the TEAs score. If you have a low GPA this will make or break the odds of getting in and every 3% on the test you get a .1 point increase. Going against what I think everyone I have ever talked to has said, for me personally I say take the TEAs online, if that is still an option. Not only can you take the test literally whatever day you want, you can also take it at whatever time of that day you selected as long as a proctor is available. Some argue that the they test better when in a school environment and this is valid, but I also test better in those environments and I bombed my first TEAs due to nerves. When I took it online the only stressors were if the test were to crash or the proctor flagged my exam for no reason, but neither of those happened not even close. The low stress of being at home and taking the test when I wanted to allowed for much better results and comfort. You get to finish the sections when you want. If you think you are done and don't want to triple check your answers to save the brainpower for later sections you get that option. Take the test where you think you will test best though and take these words with a grain of salt. I just wanted to say that the TEAs online is the same content as it is in person and at the leisure of your home. Not many people talk about how the TEAs online is positive for some people!
Get the extra points if you can: The extra points are pretty easy to get at SJSU especially as commuters. Of course nobody can make themselves a first generation student, but if you are that is easy free points and congrats. No one has a clue what SJSU gives as a "bump" to an applicants score and it is honestly only there because everyones stats are so similar so they need more tie breakers. Granted, you will most likely want to win the tie breaker and in order to do you have to at least have all the co-reqs done. I want to be straight up and say I think the vast majority of students have these all completed prior to applying for the Fall because you have an extra semester (maybe not Spring idk). So make sure to have these all completed so you are not left behind and waste an attempt in the SJSU applicant pool(unless you have great stats t or have healthcare hrs instead then just apply). You only have 2 attempts at applying to nursing at SJSU so make them count. If you can, there is also the healthcare hours bump. This is a bump isn't achieved by all applicants and could help if you have lower stats. Keep in mind that this usually involves volunteer work once a week for 4hr shifts so you will be wherever you choose to stay for about 6 months (decent time commitment with school). I've heard that the healthcare hrs are pretty lenient about what exactly you did as long as it is part of the healthcare field and you can get it signed. Of course if you already have had a health job within 3 years this is a free point bump too!
Spring semester isn't as easy to get into as it once was: SJSU changed this policy. In 2023 only transfer students can apply for SJSU fall semester cohorts, no longer accepting post-bacs. Whereas spring semester cohorts will accept post-bacs and no longer accept transfer students. This means that Fall semester likely is getting more difficult to get into as all transfer students have to apply for the same cohort. It is believed that the School accepts a bunch of SJSU students and after the initial acceptance everyone on the waitlist is combined meaning more transfers will get in from the waitlist process as they may not have made the original cut with the SJSU students bump. This would also mean there are less opportunities for SJSU students to get in during the spring cohort as they battle against stronger transfer candidates. As for transfers, in Fall there are more opportunities to get in as more are accepted initally and through the waitlist process. For post-bacs the same process is in place but, since the top UPN students (because they were following the exact track) were picked out for Fall stats could be a little lower. Regardless, Fall semester cohorts I would assume have slightly higher impaction scores from all areas that are applying as most students took their time throughout all the courses and UPN program students are all expected to apply for Fall semester. Take this all with a grain of salt since again there are no exact numbers of all that get accepted as transfers and post-bacs and if these numbers have increased because of this change.
Remember your overall GPA prior to applying does matter: Your overall GPA does matter when applying for nursing at SJSU! When it comes to tiebreakers if everything is the same - the gpa, the teas, and the extra points - the school will look at overall GPAs to decide who gets in. So make sure to get good grades in that moral issues class freshman year because it will come back to haunt you if you don't get in because of it.
Don't Break down!: It is easy to read all of this and think that you are screwed, but it is important to remember that many people are in the exact same situation. We are not all getting 4.0s and 92s on our teas like our advisors tell us we need. Expect A-'s and a B+. No stats are published and nobody knows for sure what you need but the advisors say people get "mostly a's". Aim for the highest impaction score that you can get and don't slack on it because literally that is what is determining if you get in or not.

• As a SJSU student you have 2 opportunities to get in, once in Fall (a little more difficult as most SJSU students are on track so there are more of you) and Spring (a little easier just because there are less Pre-Nursing majors applying). So if you don't get in for the Fall and your stats are good, you have a great chance in the Spring
  • PS if you do get declined for the Fall get all the extra bumps you can and if you still have one more TEAs opportunity, TAKE IT AGAIN! If you get waitlisted for Fall there is a really good chance you will get in for Spring as the people you were originally going against are gone.

Waitlist: If you get waitlisted it really is not the end of the world. Most schools send out acceptance letters in two waves one at the beginning/mid of April and at the end of April where people accept of decline their schools. SJSU keeps a long waitlist because a lot of people drop the school for more local schools/bigger name schools so never lose hope. I've heard stories of people being #70 on the waitlist and still getting in. (FYI you have to contact someone to check if you were waitlisted you will not get any notice of what is taking so long for your acceptance. only when you are on the waitlist can you contact staff about your placement. Staff will not tell you where you are if you are not emailed by Nursing that you are on the waitlist.)

• If you are immediately declined from the school, that means that currently they were unable to offer you a seat. However, this does not mean that you are out yet. The school has an original waitlist and if that gets ran though they create another backup waitlist in case more students drop in the summer. This contains around 12 more students and you could be apart of this group.

EXTRA Info:

• Nursing Apps open January 17th for Fall and August 17th for Spring and they both close on the 15th the following month
• If you are a current SJSU student you do not need to apply for SJSU again prior to applying
• However many units a course is will impact your GPA differently (more units means more of your GPA)
• You get about One Week to accept SJSU. SJSU is one of the latest schools to send out acceptance letters so be prepared to wait. 8 Weeks after the deadline is when acceptance letter should begin to roll out.
• Acceptances are sent out around April 10th for Fall and November 10th for Spring.

TEAs Studying TIPs:

• DM me if you want a google doc with TEAs information (it won't let me put it here) it provides, in my opinion, the best ways to study for the TEAs. For me personally I only received a 93.3 but, if I had realized how vital one of the sources before I took the test the next day, I would have performed even better! Please give this a look. If you dont want you I'll put the order of importance here without links
  • 1 Quizlets, #2 the ATI website, #3 Miscellaneous Prep Tests (I provide links in the doc), #4 PocketPrep

Application Assistance:

• Submit all documents separate from each other
• The application pool is Not Rolling meaning you can apply at any time before the deadline and still not be penalized
• Whatever work experience you have will not change the size of the score bump i.e a hospital volunteer will get the same size bump as a person with a CNA.
  • You also do not need any letters of recommendation and don't need to fill out any extra information on the NursingCAS website for SJSU specifically. They will not read any paragraphs that are not relevant to you getting accepted.
• AP credit does not affect the GPA it is solely for credit. If the AP course is not listed on your transcript then you must submit a form proving you passed the exam in the "other" section.
  • Make sure that all your documents that need to be there are there and they will be seen and accounted for. Regardless of where you put the documents the will show up on the application.
• Download you application prior to submitting your application (they will let you do this after you finished all the documents uploading and are preparing to finalize). Look over everything to ensure it's all correct.

I know this whole process is stressful and pretty terrifying, but everyone has a chance. This is just what I have learned throughout the whole process and hopefully it will help others that have 0 clue what is going on. Although some of this may make it seem like you need to have crazy high stats I am just trying to say do your best. If SJSU ever posts the stats for accepted applicants this would a be a different story. This is a CSU so unfortunately this application does follow the "a single number means everything" this means your impaction score is who you are; not necessarily how well rounded you may be. Good luck to all future nursing applicants and congrats.

5 Steps to Create Customised Software

If you are willing to develop a customised software for your business, then check out these 5 steps to create a customised software for your business. All these steps are explained down below in detail. So, let’s get into it and understand every step in a simple way.

1) Identify the Challenges of Your Business

We are all aware that every business has its unique process of work and requirements of their business. One software can not fulfil the requirements for every business.
So, you need a customised software to solve all your issues related to your business, like:

• Managing a huge number of employees.
• Increasing the efficiency of work.
• Boosting the revenue of your business.

So, when you are starting to develop your customised software app, identify the challenges of your business first that you are worried about a lot. Discuss your issues and requirements properly with the management team, business leaders and workers.
After this phase of discovering your issues, it is time for you to analyse the requirements of your business that can help in reducing the difficulties.

2) Analyse the Requirements of Your Business

Once you have listed down all your challenges, focus on the functionalities and features that you want to integrate into your software. Ensure adding the advanced features that will be helpful in streamlining the process of your business for a long time.
So, analyse what your business needs and what can help you in streamlining your business. Let’s take an example to learn this step in a better way. If you own an in-demand business and are facing issues in managing the data of your customers or want to generate new leads.
Actually, according to some study, it has been found that without CRM, around 79% of marketing leads don’t convert into sales. We ensure that you wouldn’t allow this to happen to your business. And obviously, no other business owner would want to lose their marketing leads.
So, we have also shared some of the common features that you can consider for the customised software application you will have. Here are some main features:

• Task scheduler system.
• Integration with current systems.
• Accounting and finance.
• Work automation.
• Safety and security.
• Customer relationship management (CRM).
• Migration from off-the-shelf software to new software.

After you decide all the functionalities and features of your customised software, create the architecture design of it.

3) Hire the Customised Software Development Company

There are a lot of software development companies in the market of customised software development. So, it becomes really hard to choose a company that will understand your business requirements and offer you the same results that your business requires.
Actually, many businesses believe in outsourcing the development work to a customised software development company. Recently, the outsourcing market of development has globally reached around USD 92.5 Billion in 2019. Also, here are some advantages of outsourcing your development work to a software developing company.

• Aids in saving time.
• Lessens the risk of software development work.
• Makes scaling more convenient.
• The larger labour pool of talented workers.
• Have access to various services.

When it is about having a reliable technical partner, we can make sure that Hapy will be an ideal choice for all business. We believe in giving the best software solutions to your business needs. We understand your business requirements properly and deliver the best customised software services without any compromise on the quality.
Honestly, we are amongst the best software development companies. We offer customised software development services that will help in enhancing the efficiency of your business.
Let us now move ahead to the next step of the development process, where we will be discussing the development of a software and testing the parts of a software.

4) Development and Testing

Now that you have decided your software development company according to your preference, you can start the development procedure by signing an agreement. To keep your information and ideas safe, signing an NDA is important.
Also, know that this step is a really long one where you will have to invest your time and effort to build customised software. Being a business owner, you will have to make sure everything is in line and that the process of development is going perfectly.
For this, you can reach the project managers regularly or reach the fixed development team. Also, just know that when all the components like system requirements, architecture, and wireframe are finalised, executing the plan will be quicker and more convenient.
Once your customised software is ready, the development team will do a testing of the software. This phase will include different kinds of functional and non-functional testing. This is either obtained manually or automatically.

Functional Testing

• Unit testing
• Component testing
• Smoke testing
• Sanity testing
• Regression testing
• Integration testing
• API testing
• UI testing

Non Functional Testing

• Compatibility testing
• Availability testing
• Performance testing
• Usability testing
• Scalability testing
• Localization testing
• Reliability testing
• Volume testing

Except this list, it is important to test the customised software for:

• The core application functionality.
• Text input.
• Installation on local machines.
• Security of the software.

If any error is detected, it can be fixed and re-tested. The whole process of testing will continue until the quality of the required software matches the actual requirements of your business. The developing team will make sure that everything is working smoothly and the software application is providing the same results as expected.
After testing successfully, your software is now ready to get launched.

5) Deployment and Maintenance

Now, you and your customer will start finding your system familiar. You all will be using the software now. So, you need to make sure that the development company will support the software app after its release.
You can choose to install the software in your current system. Then, under the development company’s guidance, end-users will be trained to use the software. Slowly, your team will learn to use the software, and the integration of your software with current systems can be applied.
If your software needs to be maintained or upgraded, you can reach out to the development company. But, you need to talk about this to the software developing company already if they offer maintenance services or not. This will streamline the whole process of development and so, you can avoid paying extra maintenance cost.
After the discussion of these 5 steps of creating a customised software application, you must now be aware how you can start the whole app development process or software development process.

The Events after the Fall of Phnom Penh and the Programme of Khieu Samphan, the Peasantry and the Enablers of Capital
With the end of the Indochina war in 1975, not much remained of Cambodia’s economy either. More than half of the rice fields lay fallow, and the few industrial enterprises, the port facilities in Kampong Som, the railway lines and the bridges had been destroyed by US bombs. Although the figures are not unambiguous, their magnitude alone shows what heavy blood sacrifice imperialism also demanded of this people: In the five years of war, around 800,000 people were killed, more than 40,000 were maimed, almost 200,000 were wounded.
The constant flow of refugees inflated the capital from its original population of around 600,000 to over 3 million, meaning that by the end of the war almost half of the Khmer people were crammed into their metropolis. As is well known, the imperialist world press howled in horror and disgust when it learned of the forced exodus of this human aggregation. The US bombardment drove people from the countryside into the cities – the revolutionary nationalists had to force them back. Both actions were cruel and devastating for those affected, because both times they happened under terrible conditions, the first time under the imperialist hail of bombs and the coercion of its local police, the second time under the pressure of hunger and the state coercion of the newly installed revolutionary patriotic power. But for the imperialist propaganda machine there were no connections here. Of course, it only saw the terror of the Khmer Rouge, so supposedly of Communism. Here again was a wonderful opportunity to play out the bourgeois farce of humanism and love of one’s neighbour to the full. No mention of the mass murders in the imperialist war against the Southeast Asian peoples, no mention of the unspeakable destruction of these only weakly industrialised agrarian societies. These sacrifices were noticed at most when the insane war spending of the USA threatened to drag the entire imperialist West into the vortex of economic problems as a result of the currency crises caused by it. After all, to this day, these gentlemen are consistently proud of their efforts to preserve “freedom”.
Cambodia became the main object of these friends of mankind over the next few years. Here, indeed, all cherished values and conceptions were thrown overboard. A state without money, without postal services, without cars and motorbikes, without public transport, without telephones, television, books and the cities extinct. Only “communists” could have committed this crime; as is well known, they can be trusted with anything inhumane and in Cambodia they truly acted as the incarnation of “darkness” and “evil”. What was perpetrated before in the name of the heroes of “light” and “reason” – not a word about that, of course. It was a central organ of the imperialist offensive on the human intellect – Reader’s Digest – that first announced in 1977 that at least 1.2 million people had been murdered in the two years since the fall of Phnom Penh. Ever new figures were quickly added, which journalists claimed to have learned from the numerous refugees. It is not necessary to assume that all these reports were forgeries, because in fact the Khmer Rouge set an extremely radical course from the beginning, which certainly brought much horror, misery and also deaths. But today’s sated imperialists should perhaps sometimes look at the history books: What misery, what terror, what torment against the population is archived there – and that over centuries. The French Revolution also produced at least 100,000 deaths in the most important four years – and it did so with a machine specially designed for the purpose. It was not by chance that it was the steam engine and the guillotine that inaugurated the industrial age in a revolutionary way. But do the distinguished British gentlemen, who even then scoffed at these butchers in Paris, have fewer lives on their consciences? Those who still don’t know have to have it written on their cheat sheets all the time: The establishment of bourgeois rule has always been brutal and extremely bloody. The destruction of the traditional smallholder form of economy, the annihilation of small-scale trade and crafts always passed over those affected like a merciless steamroller. And under unspeakable tortures, the majority of these people who were expropriated without compensation were pressed into the factories and, if necessary, forced by brutal violence to slave as many hours of their day as possible for the lowest possible wages. All that was not so long ago. But it is always amusing how hastily today’s representatives of capital pretend that these are youthful sins of foreign predecessors. And this process of constant dressing for factory labour, of the destruction of both man and nature, continues both in depth and in breadth. It will only come to an end when this capitalist basis has been revolutionarily annihilated because of the contradictions it constantly produces.
...
However, if one wants to understand the “mysterious” processes in Cambodia, one has to be clear above all about the material and social conditions. A devastated country that was still largely worked by small peasants; a chaotically bloated capital city to which the majority of these same peasants had fled. The terror of the bombs had charged this population, once peaceful and living in the eternal grind of farm labour, with fear, but above all with unbridled rage and blind hatred. Hatred against the city in which they had to take refuge, anger against the American bombers which destroyed their existence, but particularly anger against their own corrupt aristocracy, the military as well as the city dwellers in general who sought to prolong their raison d’être by making a pact with imperialism. Now the old mixture of foreignness, subservient spirit and unease found its general discharge in a primal hatred of the rural population for their oppressors in the cities. A frenzy of revenge arose, which certainly accounted for most of the brutalities in the first year of liberation.
In order to understand this social side of this revolution in Cambodia, which gave it the ferocious expression of blood, revenge and chaos that one encounters in practically every revolution carried out mainly by peasants, one must always bear in mind the social structure already described. The strong urban-rural divide was not between agriculture and industry – the latter was practically non-existent – but it was the extreme contrast between agriculture and all the ominous trades that bourgeois statistics usually classify under the heading of “services”. Here, actually “unproductive” administration and trade – moreover, predominantly created and nourished in the service of imperialism – and “productive” agriculture faced each other. Of the “peace population” in Phnom Penh of about 600,000, this included about 200,000 Vietnamese and over 100,000 Chinese, out of a total of about 800,000. So the Cambodians did not even make up the majority of the population in their capital. Aristocracy and officials on one side, poor peasants on the other, too poor to make a living in the countryside, coming to the city because they hoped for a job, or later bombed into it. Cambodians were almost completely excluded from the trade and merchant sectors. These sectors were mainly in the hands of the Chinese and Vietnamese.
In this approaching whirlwind of social unrest on the part of the peasants, which is growing in strength, another social force tries for its survival. Young intellectuals, most of them educated in Paris, the educational centre of the former colonial ruler, want to break the corrupt tangle of local aristocracy and foreign power by force. Without any reservoir in the own ranks of the urban bourgeoisie, for the latter is practically non-existent and if it is, then hardly to be enthused for nationalist accumulation programmes with a more rigorous cut; without a proper bourgeois class, these petty-bourgeois radicals lead a practically hopeless struggle for change. Forced very soon into the rural underground by Sihanouk’s authoritarian regime, they try to implement their programme of industrialisation based on agriculture with the help of the only social class that counts – namely the rural population, the small peasants and farm workers.
...
One simply has to quote these illuminating passages of the Khmer Rouge’s “chief ideologist” at length, because after all the imperialist wailing, one probably does not think it possible that these “monsters” can think at all. (A Trotskyist group, persistent in its obtuseness, even opined that these “monsters” were the embodiment of… a return to feudalism!) One thing is immediately quite clear: these petty-bourgeois intellectuals, widely referred to as Marxists, communists, etc., are never ever in the tradition of the “German” Karl Marx, but of the German Friedrich List, who, under the slogan “Freedom is the goal, limitation is the necessity”, set his protectionist credo against the imperialist ideology of the free traders in the last century. The Khmer Rouge leaders are thus spiritual sons of the ancestors of today’s imperialists, those imperialists who now see in them the personified devil of communism, although they only wanted to be flesh of their flesh.
These views of Samphan and thus the leaders of the Khmer Rouge were also quoted at length because they are so popular today. In the face of the growing exploitation of the countries of the so-called Third World by Western imperialism, theories are emerging everywhere that vehemently propose the same position of “cutting off” the “underdeveloped” countries from the dominance of the world market ruled by Western capital as a panacea. And it is certainly no coincidence that one of the main representatives of these academic “revolutionaries”, the Egyptian Samir Amin, raves about the radicalism of the Khmer Rouge even after their expulsion and predicts a chain of new “Kampucheas” for the African future. Against the massive reality of the increasing internationalisation of capital and the growing global control of Western and increasingly Eastern imperialism, such “progressive” petty-bourgeois theorists place their faith in autarky, national accumulation and so-called autocentric development. Against the capitalist propaganda of progress and prosperity through freedom of trade and capital investment, which in reality in fact produces nothing but growing pauperisation and exploitation, the Good News on the other side says: Only if one can free oneself from imperialism at least for as long as it takes to be able to develop one’s productive forces independently, only then will one achieve prosperity and security for humanity.
In this respect, both sides represent only two sides of the same coin. Both claim to be able to achieve “the greatest happiness for the greatest number” within the framework of and through capitalism – as the forefather of these bourgeois tendencies, Adam Smith, already formulated this elementary lie of capital.
...
The utopians of capital have to acknowledge time and again that, contrary to their proclamations, the social antagonisms both within the “developed” and “underdeveloped” countries and between these countries are becoming increasingly acute. And while capitalism is pushing the development of the productive forces ever more sharply in order to satisfy its insatiable hunger for surplus value, it is precisely because of this highly productive technology that it is less and less able to transform the pauperised masses into active proletarians, i.e. to force them to the machines or into the office. While the imperialists, in their frenzied mania for surplus value, are at least throwing the whole world into growing unrest and undermining ancestral immobile relations ever more thoroughly, the heralds of an apparently radical autarky are causing nothing but confusion in the ranks of the pauperising masses. They talk of economic independence, stable economic cycles and adapted technology – all concepts that really bring out their illusionist anachronism.
And to see Cambodia of all places as a concrete approach or even an example for the feasibility of such utopias seems almost tragicomic in view of the results that are now available. But it is also a total misreading of the factual development under the Pol Pot government. Demonisation and idealisation of the Khmer Rouge have the same basis. They assume that the measures taken after the conquest of power in Cambodia were deliberate and planned. One side sees only the terror and coercive measures with which the leaders, supported by relatively small armed forces, tried to get a grip on a witch’s cauldron of panic and violence and to escape the total catastrophe of starvation – and the chaos that would ensue in turn. They see this terror and these coercive measures as completely detached from the economic and social emergency. The others confuse the factual state of extreme social backwardness in Cambodia and the emergency measures taken with an economic and social programme.
...
We have outlined the devastating situation in Cambodia shortly before the moment of liberation. However broad and deep the peasant unrest in the countryside may have been at the time, it must be remembered that a large proportion of these peasants stayed in the capital out of necessity during the main phase of the fighting. In any case, the Khmer Rouge, hardly more than 70,000 men anyway, fought for a long time mainly in the sparsely populated outskirts of Cambodia.
When the Khmer Rouge troops approached the capital in 1975 – likely with only about 20,000 men – it soon became clear that it was imperative to deal radically with this hopelessly bloated big head. Estimates vary, but it can be assumed that of the 7-8 million Cambodians, at least 2.5, but probably over 3 million were crammed into the capital (“peace population” as mentioned 600,000). With the severing of the umbilical cord to imperialism, Phnom Penh was up in the air as its former bridgehead. There was no possibility whatsoever to control or even feed this veritable hell of collaborators and starving refugee masses. The general shortage of rice had driven prices to dizzying heights: from 10 riel per kilo in December 1971 to 125 riel in December 1973 and on to 300 riel in early 1975, reaching a record 340 riel in mid-February. The retreat of the imperialists and the advance of the Khmer Rouge must have acted as a double signal: On the one hand, to storm against the hated parasites and the urbanites in general, on the other hand, to return to the countryside in chaos. The Khmer Rouge had to evacuate the city and channel the returning flow to avoid a total catastrophe. The fact that the displaced people left a wide trail of blood behind them on their way out of the city (for the time of the Khmer Rouge government, there is consistent talk of at least 1 million deaths) was unavoidable under the given conditions. It is significant that the majority of the massacres affected the urban population and certain national minorities: precisely intellectuals, military officers of the old Lon Nol regime, Sihanoukists, capitalists, merchants etc., and apart from the Cham (Muslims) almost exclusively the Vietnamese and Chinese minorities, whose social situation we have already pointed out.
Whether it was spontaneous peasant terror or executions organised by the Khmer Rouge, it was partly revolutionary violence against the supporters of the old regime, which as such does not speak against but for the Khmer Rouge, and partly pogroms, which the leaders at most accepted and tried to direct in the interests of the state monopoly on the use of force. But it is not so important whether the Khmer Rouge leaders had to accept or order these massacres. What is decisive is that they were forced by material development to eliminate or to have eliminated precisely those strata on which they wanted to rely. This, together with the evacuation of the cities, deprived them of any social support other than the peasantry. Thus they were at the mercy of this peasantry, which had to be disciplined for the actualisation of their “programme”. The conflict with it was therefore programmed for the time after the famine had been averted.
...
After the worst of the chaos had been overcome, it was attempted to use these structures, which had prevailed in a rather primitive way during the hunger phase, for one’s “industrialisation programme” by maintaining and further intensifying collectivisation. Necessity was to become a capitalist virtue. The complete lack of such “civilisational” achievements as the intercourse of money and commodities was supposed to make for an ideal, indeed classic, “truck system”, i.e. payment in kind alone. The peasants were forced into ever new production battles, because now surpluses were to be produced for export – i.e. for exchange with foreign means of production – which indeed happened and animated the leaders even further. The general command was under the iron slogan: “Work hard and try to achieve maximum results with a minimum of investment”, and the focus was on absolute labour effort.
...
Once a sufficient level of production had been restored, however, the whole construction was bound to collapse completely sooner rather than later. Anyone who has even a pale inkling of the travails of the infamous Stalinist collectivisation in Russia – and the Russian state was on an incomparably higher social level and had quite different means of power at its disposal – can easily imagine how the intellectual would-be enablers of capitalism in Cambodia, then practically hanging in the air, would have to perish in an orgy of violence – unless, with the help of a foreign power, they could get a grip on the chaos and create more stable conditions through a series of concessions to the peasantry. Most likely, however, they would be finished even then, like a man trying to hold on as long as possible to a wildly thrashing bull and then falling to the ground exhausted. In any case, the arena crowd was already eagerly awaiting the outcome of the tragedy.
...
Sovereignty, neutrality, non-alignment – this credo runs through all declarations as a complement to “autarky”. But already in the face of the first offensive by the Vietnamese, it must have slowly become clear to the Khmer Rouge leaders that these fine words could only have one meaning in our unpleasant world, namely to place themselves under the protection of the People’s Republic of China. In Pol Pot’s interview, which we have just quoted, a strange acronym appears: CPK. This means “Communist Party of Kampuchea”. And yet, to the boundless amazement of bourgeois commentators, the Khmer Rouge had never tried to dress up their declarations or their constitution with Marxist or pseudo-Marxist vocabulary – which is certainly very sympathetic to us. On the contrary, they have displayed an obvious and pedantic aversion to these concepts. Neither “vanguard of the proletariat” or “communist party” nor “proletarian internationalism”, neither “classless society” nor “dictatorship of the proletariat”, but also not “new democratic revolution”, “mass line”, “creation of a new man”, “peaceful coexistence” etc. etc. had ever been spoken of. If similar contents had to be expressed, they were paraphrased with other words. But this did not happen because the Pol Pot folks would have been particularly honest and wanted to do us Marxists a favour. This happened because in their dogged nationalism they wanted to distance themselves clearly from their neighbours Vietnam, but also China, who professed to be “socialist”. The national character of all these revolutions and states, the national character of their confrontations and of their whole politics is expressed even in the fact that the weakest link feels compelled by the instinct of self-preservation to dispense with the “Marxist” or “socialist” cloak for the capitalist programme! This is what “socialism in one country” has come to! And the adoption of the “Marxist” “vocabulary” here is a sign of the surrender of the so sacred national sovereignty. If, as already mentioned, no announcement had ever mentioned a party or revolutionary phases (there was always talk of a “revolutionary organisation” and even of “Angkor traditions”), Pol Pot told his astonished people and all those who wanted to know the following story on 27 September 1977: the CPK had already existed in Cambodia since 30 September 1960 and had achieved this miracle of a national-democratic revolution. He told it the day before he left for Beijing, on which, fighting a losing battle against the Vietnamese, he has been completely dependent ever since.
As a “plaything of foreign powers”, the nationalist intellectuals of Cambodia perished. The peasantry, largely decimated under the pressure of the imperialist frenzy and its consequences, as now under the pressure of Vietnam’s national expansion, is an example of the fate that capitalist society reserves for small and weak peoples in its emergence and development. To such peoples the proletariat alone would and will secure the right of self-determination, because unlike the bourgeoisie it does not seek national privileges but wants to abolish them, because unlike the bourgeoisie it can create voluntary union, because unlike the bourgeoisie it liberates itself not by exploiting others but by abolishing all exploitation.

Hello,
I'm starting my first business (sole-proprietor), but like many I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the process.
My goal is to be a vendor at craft shows and farmers markets, selling both cottage-law approved baked goods (cakes, cookies, brownies, etc) and handmade crafts (decals, stickers, shirts, etc).
I've been making a checklist of what I need to do to be legal, but it seems like every time I look into something it has prerequisites or accompanying requirements.
I'm trying to keep my personal and business things as separate as possible, but I don't think I'm ready for the extra steps of an LLC and how that might differ.
Here's what I've done/will do (In what feels like the appropriate order), but I'd like to know if there's something about starting a business that I've missed.
[COMPLETE]

• Create a bushiness email account, purchase the domain, and reserve the social media handles.
• File with the state as an ABN (DBA) (so my business doesn't have to include my surname)
• Purchase a "Certificate of Existence" from the Secretary of State (Which I'll need when opening a business bank account).
• Obtain a Food Handlers Card to comply with Oregon Cottage Law

[To-Do]

• Apply for an EIN from the IRS (To file business taxes separately and protect myself against identity theft).
• File the BOIR (A fairly new requirement of business owners that started this year?)
• Open a business bank account under the DBA name (To keep my personal and business transaction/finances separate).
• Obtain a business phone number (So I'm not giving out my personal number).
• Contact local insurance broker about what policy I'll need to comply with Cottage Law and to satisfy vending/farmers market requirements.
• Contact the Bureau of Licenses ​to find out what specific business licenses (if any) I will need to purchase to satisfy Cottage Law and being a vendor.

That's where I'm at right now, but like I said this is my first business venture, so I'm quite nervous that I'll unintentionally miss something and get fined into oblivion. Is there a step to this that I might be overlooking?
I have questions about the specifics of Cottage Law in Oregon, but I'm making a list and then calling the Department of Agriculture to try and get them all answered.

Hi everyone! This is the Accountability Thread where people can list what they need or want to accomplish today and have everyone else help keep you accountable to do them. So, in general, a post will look like this:
Things I have to get done today:
1: Post Accountability Thread
If I had more to do that I had not completed I would list them and update this when these things were complete.
Also, if I saw someone doing something that I happen to be well-educated or have some sort of expertise in I can offer support or help on the topic/task.
The thread is a versatile one, use it in a way that helps you and others stay on task!
Happy studying!

Hi all, this is not a troll post/account. It's a throwaway account because I'm writing this with pure embarrassment, please respect that and don't write hurtful things below. Thank you in advance:(
TW: INFECTION ~ BAD SMELLS ~ PUSS.
I 22(F) have had this problem since I was a child in primary school, it's always been here so I thought it was normal until someone (a few close family members, my mom being one) pointed out they could smell something disgusting, and that's where I got paranoid and instantly knew it was me. Bare in mind I stayed at their house for a night, so of course I didn't have my tools (cotton buds, flannels, tissue, salt water) to clean myself, and I didn't want to do it there leaving a lingering smell in their bathroom. It was summer, we were all hot, and of course... IT was hot, and I was wearing leggings and a crop/ish top, I have a feeling every time my clothing uncovered it, the smell just wafted around.
So anyway, after they pointed out they could smell something I had to pretend "Oh yeah wtf is that smell", a few moments passed and I went to the loo, I opened the window, ran the tap and got scrubbing, with my finger (index to be specific), I used hand soap to clean, I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned until it was red all around. I let it air dry and helped the process by fanning it with my hand. I stayed in the toilet a while longer constantly sniffing to make sure the smell was gone. I went back to the living room and acted like I'd just taken the world's longest 💩
Eventually, they found out, weeks after. We all met up again, and they could smell it, and I just admitted "Look guys, it's my belly button I try and stay on top of it". They turned it into this joke, and sometimes I laugh, cause things they say are funny, but a lot of the time deep down it hurts. Real bad.
Now at this point, you're probably wondering, what's the smell? What's up with her?
I think I have a belly button infection. Or something worse, I don't know, but it can get really bad. Since a kid, I've always washed and cleaned it every night, or every time I go to the toilet I'll quickly rub it with some tissue, which always leaves yellow liquid on it... I know, disgusting, I too feel sick at it.
This could be dangerous, but there have been times I've gone to the doctors and said I have a severe ear ache, or bad chest, pretty much anything that'll prescribe me antibiotics. The antibiotics usually work, for a few days and then boom, it's back and worse than ever!
I haven't gone to the doctors specifically about it, because I'm so humiliated by it. My mom tells me all the time -You need to go and get it checked and have it checked- but I have a fear of that as it is, so going to get it checked, and seeing someone about something that has affected me for so long, is so nerve-wracking. It could have gotten really bad by now, and then what? I have a million and 1 reasons I'm hesitant to go.
This is sort of a list of what it can be like TW AGAIN:
• Red & Itchy • Sore • Swollen • Lingering smell • Green/Yellow/Brown gunk, either leaking or shows when I'm cleaning it • Sometimes get shooting pains from my bellybutton to my privates, which hurts • Cramp-like feeling if I move in a certain position or too fast (not often) • Can get dry • Sometimes leaks through clothes, and I have to throw them out. • Weird pain when cleaning (I'll write about it)
I don't know what I can do, I'm terrified to get it checked by a professional. I'm embarrassed about it. It stinks and it's exhausting keeping on top of it, I mean this is the cleaning process

• Boil water, let cool a little & mix salt into it.
• Get a handful of Cotton buds
• Get tissue
• Wet a flannel with warm water
• Put cotton buds inside and rub around (cotton buds cause some weird stabbing pain?)
• Once cotton buds become clear, wet tissue with salt water, put inside and rub around, until the smell isn't so bad.
• Ease the redness & Itchiness with a warm flannel
• Air dry.

^ This is almost like a ritual, every single night.
Please if anyone has anything similar, or knows what this could be, tell me. I don't want to go to... you know where 🥲😢
Thanks for reading 🤍

I am currently 10 months into my first job out of college. I work in an entry level position for an ad agency and our one and only client is a huge billion dollar corporation with multiple lines of business that you have all 100% heard of. I don’t bring that up to brag, but to point out how crazy it is that our client is so profitable, meanwhile I am paid $40k/ year. A large part of my job is dealing with budgets for our ad campaigns, our budgets average around $1M per campaign and we have 10+ campaigns per year, and that’s just the account I work on, other accounts have much larger campaigns.
About 2 months ago i had my performance review with my manager who opened it up by saying “to be frank, you’re a f***ing rockstar. I want to keep you happy so you stay on the team because i don’t want you to leave” and he had no notes for me on what to improve on (yet i got a lot of “meets expectations” on my review…) i used that as an opportunity to express to him that i want to move up in the company and if there is anything he thinks i should work on or begin training on in order to be promoted, i am willing to do it. He basically said “I have to figure out what i can have you do to help you prepare for your next role before you even get there” which sounds like a scam to me because you should promote someone because you feel they are ready to take on that next role, not because they’ve already been doing it…
i brought up to him that i know I haven’t hit a year yet (which according to my contract you need to have been there for a year to be considered for a promotion) but i would like to move up soon, as i feel i have shown how capable and valuable i am to the team (while listing all the reasons) and i asked if he could estimate a timeline for when i might be promoted. He told me we could “discuss again” in Jan 2025 (which would make it 1.5 years of me being in the same entry level position) I pointed out that i have noticed many other people on the team who have the same role as me have been in this position for 2+ years, and i am not willing to wait that long. He gave me the spiel about “don’t compare yourself to other people, everyone is different and it’s important to be patient blah blah blah” I told him, verbatim “i feel underpaid” and he said, verbatim “i agree, you are underpaid”. And that’s basically how the whole review went in a nutshell.
Another thing to note: - the account i work on is just my manager, me, and another person in the same role as me who has been there for 2+ years. Other accounts have a manager, a supervisor, a planner, and 1 assistant (my role). My manager recently went on vacation to another country (with no cell connection or ability to assist us if needed) for 2.5 weeks and my co-worker and i held the fort down on our own, planning 4 different campaigns, communicating with the client, and handling every little detail the whole time. We took it as an opportunity to prove ourselves and i 100% believe that we nailed it. My manager also expressed that he was impressed when he got back and HIS boss (the VP) apparently noticed how good of a worker i am (i was told this during my review). Everyone was also sent a list of responsibilities for each of the job roles of the team a few months ago and i am pretty much already doing the job that i’m trying to get promoted into.
Despite all the stuff i just ranted about, i enjoy my job (as much as one can). I like the people i work with (even my manager, he is annoying sometimes but is overall a nice and easy going person). The dynamic of our larger team is great and i get along with everyone. I am also comfortable with my work load and feel i am more than capable of handling it. I just feel underpaid!! (I also don’t like going into the office 2x a week cause i have a 1.5 hour commute but details details..)
So what do i do? I was thinking of talking to my manager again about the possibility of being promoted once i hit my 1 year? Or do i just start to look for another job? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry this was so long, thank you for reading this far <3

I am gathering data and putting together a list. It appears quite a few people were banned or hit with a ban at around the same time.
Most for •software detected• generic warning
These are permanent bans and these are / were issued to accounts in good standing for over 7-Years and players whom have had zero bans ever and no issues and who’s accounts have thousands of hours logged most of which were supporters of the game when it was Beta/ Alpha.
Some people , most cases the people were banned in chunks and in groups only a few solos. Most of them they were in teams and or clans .

I’ll try to keep it short as I can. So I started drop shipping last month from Ali express to eBay, I always was curious, hesitant & had doubts for a long time but I surprisingly made profit out of just giving it a try with a few listings I made on my eBay account & I managed to make 3 sales that month ranging from $25,$19,$10. $55 profit total without fees. 1 week after listing on eBay I had my first buyer he paid $25 plus tax, I ordered the item for him right away from an Ali express seller I chose ahead of time for drop shipping. After I’d Even message the buyer saying thank you for your purchase & I hope they have a blessed day I look forward to updating you again on shipping. After I’ve returned I’d say I look forward to updating you again with tracking info & lastly I’d return once more to update them that it’s soon near with a few kind words. I did the same for all three of my buyers and kept track for them aswell making sure it was getting there. I wanted my buyers updated throughout the whole journey I even managed to add the tracking number on eBay for them once the packages got in USA territory & made sure it only showed up as usps. To summarize, all packages got to my buyers address in like 2 weeks time give or take, eBay released my funds to cashapp soon as tracking showed delivered. I’m assuming everything went well for everyone after. I haven’t heard anything back from my buyers since then so I guess everything went good with their items and that the packages didn’t show they were from Ali express or the store info. So it was pretty much a win for everyone. Now I’m ready this month for round two after that experiment & seeing what I could do different and better or how I should adjust my prices for the eBay fees, I decided to make orders this time to my house for drop shipping for a few reasons. I want to play it safe, be more in control of shipping times, I wanna be able to verify items work & are in good conditions before shipping. I care more about the customer satisfaction then I do about the sale. Anyway wish me look I ordered 4 more of the same items this month and 2 other items to add to my eBay store. They been arrived and have been listed already, only one of my listings at the moment in my store is directly from an Ali express seller the rest I ship them myself. Currently my listings are getting views and saves, at the moment I’m just waiting for a buyer. Hoping I reach $300+ profit goal this month with the profit I made from last months experiment. My Ebay store is centered around Anime figure & gaming controllers/ tech,i will update again on how round 2 is going for anyone that wants to know or has any questions.

I want to take a moment to talk about the far left, like AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) and Bernie, who I just saw in the interview:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE5BWFRETdk
In the interview, about two thirds of the way in, AOC talked about how she got hardly any pay from her employer working as a bartender and Bernie talks about his memories of childhood poverty and stress from poverty. Elizabeth Warren, another such Democrat, also talked on her campaign about the effect of financial stress on her and her family as a child.
These people are not poor, and they haven't been poor for a long, long time. Before being a politician, AOC was working as a bartender in New York City. Manhattan bartenders make like $100,000 a year in cash, almost no taxes. Also AOC was good looking with good people skills so she probably made more than that. That is not poverty. She also talked about how she had "no healthcare" because she didn't have health insurance. There are people in rural areas who have to drive like an hour to get to a grocery store and even further than that to get to a doctor or hospital. Now that is "no healthcare". You know these people have it bad because such rural men don't go to a doctor unless something is really, really bad.
I feel like the far left (like me in the past) lives with this victim mentality. There's this mentality of "Oh, I'm the victim of racism" or "I'm the victim of patriarchal sexism" or "I'm the victim of homophobia" or whatever. I'm sorry, but could you please shut up? There are counties where people literally get stoned to death. You live in THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Is financial inequality large? Yes. But this is not a problem specific to this country. India has computer programmers working for big tech software companies basically living in gated palaces a few miles away from slums. This is even worse than in most of the USA. There are other counties with higher Gini coefficients (income inequality measurements, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_equality ) than the USA. This is not Africa. Be thankful.
Also, atheism. Atheists will have Christian family members, grow up in a Christian place, and be like "I'm not a Christian, I prayed to Satan and didn't get hit by a lightning bolt so your God isn't real, ha ha ha, I reject your beliefs as superstition, I am very smart, I believe in science".
Uhh... What do you say when you stub your toe? "Oh science, science damn it?" What do you say when you feel relief? "Thank science?" Why is it when you develop schizophrenia you have the delusional belief that you are the second coming of Jesus and not the second coming reincarnation of the prophet Mohammed? Shut up, you're a Christian, you're just an asshole. I swear, I once went to an atheists club and they were all like "We are so smart, everyone else is wrong and stupid, blah blah blah". I am sorry, but this is not a fun social group to be with, you people basically get high off of naval gazing and smelling your own farts. And then they approach death and become agnostic (atheists become agnostic with age). I think I read somewhere that super believing Catholics become less certain when they're old too.
This is a side note, but I once knew two male identical twins who looked identical, but one was a devout priest and the other was a devout atheist (note I didn't know the priest one personally). They had identical DNA and they were both very certain of their beliefs and neither of them were fun. The atheist one started a club for people who left religion and wanted to talk about their religious trauma and how the lies of their religion traumatized them. When I came to this "atheists club" listed on the Meetup website, I thought we were just going to socialize, maybe eat some pizza and go bowling, not cry about how the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith made up the gold plates with a third book of the Bible written on them that he found under the dirt in his backyard that he couldn't show anyone else. Like yeah, no shit he made shit up and/or pretended (see https://www.instagram.com/p/C6oSeVdrkU2/ , I got the second image of Jesus on the cross with a donkey head from Googling "earliest depictions of Jesus" ). Oh, and I am literally the second coming of Jesus because my name and my father's name is the same and my mom has an investment account called "Virgin" and I channel The Holy Spirit, bipolar disorder. Right...
If some people with penises can identify as women, I can identify as GOD.

The Helldivers community is such a fun gaming community to be a part of. What they were able to do to repeal Sony's decision to require a PSN account to play the game is nothing short of impressive. Over 250,000 people came together to leave negative reviews, make youtube videos and tweets telling Sony that what they were doing isn't ok is so impressive.
Imagine what this community could do If enough of us left bad reviews on the app/ google play store and make tweets or videos telling scopley to fix their game and get better or any QA.i know our community is much smaller but it could still be done if enough of us actually banded together to leave bad reviews etc. Every patch has broken character kits or broken events. Temporal dimension is just another event to add to the list of broken events, and it won't be the last.
