Irremarkable

I’m sure this varies a lot from district to district, but the districts that I have teacher friends in, they’ve been using Chromebooks almost exclusively for the better part of a decade now

The most common explanation I’ve seen, and imo it makes sense, is that things mostly just work now. Even XP required a helluva lot more troubleshooting and messing with stuff to make it work than today. So you not only have a bunch of people that have no troubleshooting experience, a large portion don’t even know how to properly search for things.

On the flip side, you have a lot more people doing insanely impressive stuff at a lot younger ages because if you have the drive to do it, there’s more material to learn than ever out there.

Not a single US city was ever attacked by an enemy nation.

This is definitely an um ackushally, but the Brits did burn the capitol.

There’s a difference between recognizing that defending democracy is absolutely the #1 thing to be talking about and doing that and entirely going “blah blah” at basic human rights

Frankly, that shouldn’t be limited to women. That’s abhorrent behavior, and frankly it speaks volumes about each and every one of his voters.

I’m shocked that the guy that very clearly doesn’t see women as human thinks they won’t remember all the awful shit he’s done to make their lives worse.

Hey now, he’s not Felon Drink Bleach. He’s Felon Inject Bleach. Very different!

I’m assuming they’re specifically meaning a deal regarding not fixing the scheduler issues

Bingo. They know everything they stand for is unpopular. They have to rely on the electorate being stupid to win. And through long hard fought efforts to cripple the Missouri education system as much as possible, it’s a pretty reliable bet.

To be completely honest, I’d be more surprised if there wasn’t.

I’ll never (with exceptions, but this isn’t one) root for someones death. But I’m sure as fuck not going to shed a tear over him. The kid on the other hand? That’s just awful.

Like how you could choose to go buy distilled water or other fluoride free water if you really cared enough? So we agree it’s not actually a problem? Cool.

How do you feel about iodized salt?

Don’t worry, it’s on the ballot. I’m hopeful, Missouri has a real weird habit of electing the most batshit right wing people but voting for basically every left leaning ballot measure

This varies heavily state to state and even district to district, but generally after you’ve been teaching for a while, you’ll be making ok money. The issue is how low starting pay is and how long it takes to get to that point, often 10+ years. 10+ years where you’re scraping to get by and don’t really have the ability to set any money aside.

This is the main reason that I’ll never understand it. It takes so, so, so much energy to be that hateful. Do they have literally nothing in their lives that they could be devoting that energy to. Like get a fucking hobby, holy shit.

Cryptobros are mad people have realized they’re full of shit

Some people really don’t think before they speak do they

You mean to tell me the guy who’s only rich because daddy ran a emerald slave mine in apartheid South Africa isn’t a good person? Never.
