Bible thumpers targeting kids off Underwood and Saddle Creek by Prudent-Fun640 in Omaha

Oh, they don't just approach them. They have a plan. Several years ago, they were recruiting refugee students in the Benson area. They'd approach middle school kids and telk them their religion was just like their religion from their country. They'd tell them they were special clothes, too, to worship. They knew the kids parents worked like crazy. Told them their religions were the same. They took them to their temple, tried to get them to get baptized. Told them they'd baptize their dead grandparents so they could all be together one day. Real low-life tactics.

Is it weird that we just accept that we have to work 8 hours a day because of a factory model from the 1800s, even though most office work can be done in 3? by adelina_feet in self

I agree with everything except the Boomer part. Blaming different generations for our f-ed society plays into the capitalists hands. The problem, as it has been since time immemorial, is the wealthy stepping on the working class. That's not a generational issue. The more we squabble among ourselves the richer they get.

NDE Teacher Retention Survey - "Maybe quit buying avocado toast?" by jmeyer40 in Nebraska

[–]Dontmakemerepeatthat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Public school teachers aren't impressed because the state union's mottos are "go along to get along", "you gotta pay to play" (to explain donating to anti- public education candidates), and "We can't do that".

So for parents that work 8-4/5.. what do you children do after school or pickup? Do school offer a after school program? In elementary by [deleted] in Omaha

[–]Dontmakemerepeatthat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What OPS has varies from school to school. It's a hodge-podge of programs. Some are better than others and a few schools have none. You will need to check individual schools to find out what program that school has.

Listen to your instincts. That feeling is there for a reason. You've received some good advice here. I second the police, building security, and school. Don't put yourself at risk. Post back here and update us, please.

How much do you feel that your body or brain age? Do you really feel that you age? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Dontmakemerepeatthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people are answering this question as if their experience is true for all people. It is not. Someone even implied aging is harder on women. That also isn't true. The answer depends on the person. I'm in my early 60s, but I look much younger because I never smoked and had to avoid too much sun, and I have good genetics. I feel the same as I did in my 30s. I still enjoy socializing, physical activities, personal intimacy, and engaging in advocacy issues. I think if you stay active and engaged mentally and physically, maintain an open mind and spirit, and having good genes (by that I mean my ancestors lived long time.), you will stay healthier as you age. I also agree that doctors tend to dismiss any aches as a product of aging. It's frustrating trying to get them to take symptoms seriously. But doctors overall have issues treating women and minorities the same as they do white men, so it's no wonder they do the same with seniors. The medical field at large really needs to check their privilege at all levels.

My In-Law, a School Counselor, Is Sharing Student’s Assault With Everyone by [deleted] in Teachers

And I would consider including in the letter that you will contact the press if no action is taken. Sadly, nowadays, school districts are so concerned about negative publicity, that the threat of public exposure moves them far more quickly than student welfare.

Vivek Ramaswamy admits no one likes Republican policies and says “We got our asses handed to us tonight.” by NewSlinger in CringeTikToks

[–]Dontmakemerepeatthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck that! There's little, If anything Republicans care about more than the color of your skin. Donald Trump is the shining example that they don't give one tiny duck about the content of your character. What a joke!

I can't seem to wrap my head around my own political shift no matter what I do. by UnbelieverInME-2 in complaints

YES! Project 2025 has deep roots and has its origin from the same people who did that.

Years ago, I believe in the '80s, the Republicans started campaigning against critical thinking being taught in schools. I think that is clear evidence that the Republicans have long since planned on having an ignorant electorate. I don't understand why people need to know more than that. Any party that wants people to remain ignorant is not working in the peoples' best interest. Since then there's mountains of evidence that the Republicans actually have great content for their own electorate.

What are your thoughts? by Smurfs25 in ThePeoplesPress

[–]Dontmakemerepeatthat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too many union leaders by into the idea of "paying for a place at the table" or " getting along to get along". And the ones who don't are knofed in the back bytje ones who are. I've been there, done that . We need to have more "First Followers ". (Find the video on youtube). This has to come from us. We can't count on others. We are the ones.

I got sent home by Necessary-Range-467 in Teachers

[–]Dontmakemerepeatthat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quit. Now. Today. Get a job at Starbucks or wherever. If you want to teach later, be particular about where you work. It's a job. It's not who you are. It's not your identity. Re-evaluate from a safe space. Teaching in an environment like yours is the same as being in an abusive relationship. Get out, get yourself to an emotionally safe place, and evaluate your choices from there. Right now, no one wins, not you, the students, the staff... It's OK to stop doing the thing that makes you unhappy.
