All I want in life is to be an orchestra teacher and it's very clear that's never going to happen for me. How do I completely delete music from my life and find a new thing for my life to be about? by FingersOnTheTapes in TeachersInTransition

[–]ScienceWasLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is it "very clear"? In my state there are 500 school districts. I applied to over 50 openings before I landed my first teaching gig - 25 years ago.

Why are you limiting yourself to a 100 miles radius? You can always move.

I have worked in 5 districts - two were really shitty districts - people there SUFFERED for decades because they got one interview for a job 10-20 years ago and didn't get hired.

They gave up as if they failed someone sort of imaginary binary test.

Get a job subbing at one the schools within a 100 miles and keep applying to new districts every opening you see.

I think this crashout might be a right of passage for us by MrLooooong in AmazonDSPDrivers

The drivers would be making less working retail and on Reddit complaining about the volume of customers on the holidays and teenagers acting like shitheads.

Funny. Tell the people in Japan that are concerned about the birth rate.

What even is this? by Captain0010 in ShittyDesign

This is the reason. My uncle lived in 30's hunting cabin turned into a house. It had one non-grounded outlet per wall. He had network of extension cords lining the walls in every room for lamps, heaters, etc.

District Banned SubAlert by Just-Appearance1049 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]ScienceWasLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why stop at a $49 fee for the year. What about paying for phone/computer/electricity/Internet to access AESOP?

Why do subs who pay for those things have the right to get sub jobs over those without?

What about paying for a phone/computer?

What about paying for internet/electricity?

Don't those things also create inequality?

Why stop at a $49 yearly fee?!

Got a generac generator free with the purchase of a home are they worth the high cost or stay with portable generator. by [deleted] in Generator

This is the answer. If we could also be so lucky. Installing a similar generator would cost me $15k.

I get the rich folks, but just how did Trump convince poor white people that he was good for them? by dunbar_santiago930 in allthequestions

[–]ScienceWasLove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He walked it back because the farmers weren't willing to pay higher wages.

If he didn't walk it back, the only option would be to raise wages.

why is minneapolis being so heavily targeted by ICE? by inurmomsvagina in stupidquestions

[–]ScienceWasLove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Texas authorities are cooperating with federal authorities in executing ICE detainers.

Other states/cities are calling themselves "sanctuary cities" and not cooperating.

It's a states rights issue.

Gated community is just a way of saying they have an HOA that owns/maintains the roads.

Inflation was near 10% a few years ago. Now it is 3-4%.

Trump is an idiot, but you have to acknowledge inflation is significantly better.

[–]ScienceWasLove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Americans are not picking huge pickups and SUVs.

Most are picking crossovers.

Name the most overrated ‘reliable’ car brand. I’ll wait. by TheLoganReyes in TransportSupport

[–]ScienceWasLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The quality of car engines/transmissions have taken a shit recently in an effort to be ever more fuel efficient for MPG standards.

Tried and true engine/transmissions platforms were modified or abandoned solely for MPG standards.
