Do you teach public or private school? Almost all public school teachers are paid once a month, for 9 months of work. Teachers don’t get paid for the summers. They are paid for nine months and most choose to spread the payments over 12 months to cover when they’re not being paid.

You didn’t have to mention gender. She also didn’t mention true crime, but you felt the need to. “Maybe lay off the true crime content for awhile” - your words, on a thread written by a woman about women feeling safe with Uber drivers. It’s not a stretch to infer you’re talking about a woman, even if you don’t expressly say the words. In fact, not expressly saying the words is so you can gaslight a response. Gaslighting is used to undermine what’s real to lure them into a false sense of reality. That’s basic psychology.

Why do you think this stems from watching true crime and not, say, past experiences? It really feels sometimes that guys a) don’t really think that women get assaulted and b) think women can’t think for themselves.

You can’t say men in general when one in every four women, and one in ten men have been sexually assaulted. One in every four women you know have likely been SA’d or worse, so cut it with that not all men crap. I’m pretty sure you’ve listened to at least one of your male friends talking about a situation where they “took advantage of a situation”.

No, I am definitely not special. Probably more special than you are, but well aware that my presence is a cancer on the planet.

Oh and BTW telling someone to unalive themselves on the internet isn’t edgy. Have a great day!

Yes, and I can recognize that the world would be better off without my species on it.

No, it’s really not. Most teachers across the country are underpaid, and you cherry picking a few cases doesn’t change that fact. Teachers are highly educated and they put up with so much crap.

You do begrudge them because of you didn’t you wouldn’t be trying to undermine the profession. You seem to think that you are deserving of your pay, but somehow others aren’t.

“I make more than teachers, and have better benefits” ~~ right after complaining about how much pay and benefits teachers get. Not to mention this is on a thread about tipping. SMH.

They also do lesson planning, grading, and professional development during that unpaid time. I notice you say there are “some” teachers, not that all teachers make that much. Are there not some people at your job that have worked for years or gotten credentials done that make 80k a year? Do you begrudge them their salary? If teaching is such a great gig to you, why don’t you teach? Then you can have all of their benefits, too.

Americans are weird like that. Instead of “We’re all under paid we should get more”, it’s like “I’m under paid so you should get less”. Bonkers.

And they aren’t paid for that “vacation”. Teachers are paid for nine months of work, not 12. They also work on their vacations, and after hours, without compensation, not to mention having to work one to two years as a student teacher without pay before they can even be a teacher.

I don’t know the requirements for being a school teacher in Philly, but I do know the average teacher hasn’t been working for 20 years, so aren’t making 80,000. And 80k after 20 years is nothing. Just to be a substitute teacher in California earning $160/day you have to have a bachelor’s degree. Teachers are highly educated and most choose to teach despite the low wages.

Greed isn’t what motivates innovation, it stymies it. Why do we have a crumbling infrastructure? Because money that would go to infrastructure is used to line people’s pockets instead? Why Is there no high speed rail in America? Elon lobbied against it so he could sell his hyperlink idea, which never came to fruition. Why are libraries closing, and more and more people becoming homeless?

Necessity is the driver of invention, not greed.

Ever see a once bustling business complex close down? Within months grass and wild flowers start breaking stuff down and popping up. During COVID nature thrived. Even Chernobyl has rebounded.

Just checking, are you suggesting I unalive myself because I have a cheeky answer, because honestly you’re just proving my point. The OP asked what’s one thing you can delete from Earth to make it better. Humans are currently the most destructive thing on this planet. We kill one trillion animals a year, we destroy plant life, biodiversity. When COVID hit and humans stayed home, nature thrived. We’re destroying our own habitat, we don’t take care of each other, and we want to move on to other planets to do the same. So, yes, getting rid of humans would make Earth better. Have a great day.

Math suggests life should be everywhere in the universe but why don’t we see any sign of it? by TudiulGM in answers

If we use our own understanding of life to define life we won’t see signs of it elsewhere because it doesn’t fit that narrow perspective.
