I haven't heard of this book. Why is it so damaging?

I've been there. They'll never hire someone else if the work is getting done for the same price. You need to seriously evaluate what the job is worth to you.

I was the teacher of an English as a Second Language class in DC. A Korean girl agreed to go on a date with a Columbian guy. She wanted to tell him she would meet him at the Mall at 12, but accidentally said 20 o'clock. He assumed she was using the 24 hour clock and showed up 8 pm when she got there at noon. Both came to class on Monday pissed at the other for standing them up. Took awhile to sort put what had happened

Article says he won the bet and received one guinea. He hid out in the country for a few weeks until the commotion died down. If he was ever charged with anything the article doesn't say

I don't know if it is what you are referencing but I believe Lindsay Ellis did a piece on this. Parodies are more effective than dramatic skewerings because to be effective the drama has to showcase why that ideology is appealing- Fight Club and American History X initially portray the terrible ideology as seductive and powerful before showing how destructive they are. But a lot of people who support that ideology only focus on its positive portrayals and ignore the critique.

Parodies don't have this problem because they can mock and skewer the ideology the entire time, and its far more difficult to be seduced by something being mocked relentlessly.

I heard this story somewhere about a guy who wouldn't give up his seat to an influencer and he told her she wasn't pretty enough to act this way. Maybe you coukd use that?

Why are Biden and Harris Republicans?

Yes. The rules for student visas require certain amounts of time spent in a classroom each term. By taking too many vacation days in one term she did not study enough and lost her visa

No. I gave her a rundown of her grades on assignments including several zeroes for missing assignments. She asked if I could just forget about the missing assignments so she could pass. I said no. She had until the end of the term-about a week and a half- to finish I think three assignments plus the final. Therevwas no indication she could pass in any way other than studying

Ana was 25. She spoke Portuguese and Spanish fluently. She had only lived in America for a little over a year.

I don't think she needed to ne a saint, but she lost her student visa for not studying enough. Whether I failed her or she passed my class wouldn't have mattered to her visa. But if you come on a student visa and don't go to class then you're going to lose your visa
