Execs know teachers are doing it because of internal drive to teach and not for the pay and they take advantage of it in absolutely every way they can.

If teachers want useful posters on the wall, gotta pay for it. If teachers want students to not have to share a worksheet 3:1, teachers will pay for it. It's incredible not only how much they do for free, but how much they pay out of pocket for the "privilege"

Agreed, they're not supposed to be laws, they're supposed (as far as I understand it anyways) to essentially be "as the head of the Executive branch, here is how I want my underlings to handle/interpret this particular thing that the Executive branch already has authority over" ... it really doesn't make sense that they'd last any longer than that particular Presidents term(s).

Sometimes, the best tool for the job is the one you already have. Is she supposed to go out and buy a new missile launcher and all the consumables that go with it when she's got a perfectly functional stinger in the garage already?

Consumer culture has gotten out of hand!

/s ... kind of???

COVID was easy mode and we (Americans at the very least) failed. If we can't handle something that's highly infectious with a pretty low death rate we're definitely not going to handle highly infectious + high mortality rate without a lot of people dying first and even then, it'll still be "left wing propaganda", I'm sure

A child dying is going to make them double down, honestly. At this point they will REALLY refuse to acknowledge that the kids death was 100% their fault since taking accountability is not something these people are willing to do

I wasn't a TikTok user, but, from what people tell me, by their third swipe the algorithm already knew enough about them that almost everything they get recommended was stuff they were interested in.

How is it that Google with raw access to SO MUCH MORE information than just a few swipes can't manage to zero in on what I'm actually interested in and instead I see so much garbage that I don't bother looking at.

Thank You! I found it absolutely hilarious that their 'complaints' were that you dared to enforce site-wide rules on their magazine/community. Thank you for all that you do.

One of the mods said (in the article) that to their knowledge it's mostly the paid admins removing it not the unpaid moderators.

I'm a lot less trusting of people. I thought I distrusted people before, but JFC, I had no idea how much lower that bar could go!

Super Mario Bros (1993) is this movie for me ... it's weird as hell and it's adherence to the source material is ... iffy at best ... but god damn if it wasn't a fun ride!

Then you read about how everyone hated the directors so much they literally got drunk on set and openly wore custom made shirts with slogans about how bad the directors were AND Bob Haskins was in a cast for most of it for an injury on set and it gets even more fascinating! The Directors poured hot coffee on people and just openly belittled everyone. It's insane!

I quit going after their CFO was bitching about quiet quitting keeping him up at night.

QDoba is better anyways, they're just not in nearly as many locations (around me anyways).

I mean, if they want a ready to go excuse for why the movie made no money, sure, this makes sense.
