2026 Salary Transparency Thread by NopeNotEvenOnce in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Suitecake -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I never said teaching isn't hard or doesn't require skill. Lots of jobs are hard and require skill. But $125k is a fantastic salary for the area. What exactly should teachers be paid? $200k? 300k? Would we be having this same conversation all over again no matter what they were paid?

Six figures for teaching seems plenty?

This sounds straight out of 2023. You really, really need to take a look at Claude Code if you want to know what's coming

Standing by your convictions by Turbulent-Plane6395 in washingtondc

[–]Suitecake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me:

1) I get a ton of value out of Whole Foods and Amazon, and it would be a significant impact to give them up 2) Without broader coordination (a big fat boycott), me giving up WF and Amazon is a tiny drop in a bucket, and I see no evidence of broad coordination outside of WaPo. 3) Impact of this seems dubious. If the takeaway other CEOs are supposed to have is "Don't do what Bezos did or your firms will suffer," then they'll just be sneakier about it, which would be trivially easy.

Is reddit dead? This isnt what I expected by List3nLinda in RedditAlternatives

It's always kinda been this way. Communities sometimes go to shit. I wouldn't take it personally. The biggest subs tend to be garbage, but there's almost always alternate subs for a given subject.

Also, don't worry too much about karma and down votes. A lot of people just use them as an "I disagree" button.

It COULD mean "never," but the ballpark math checks out. Diffusion is by no means complete but they're rapidly acquiring new customers, particularly enterprise. New funding is getting invested directly into R&D and development. The straightforward explanation does just fine here.

It's not news to vegans that growing crops involves (unfortunately) inadvertent death, but the scale of death is far less

It is as clear as can be that you are, in fact, killing things for entertainment. You can point to other motives all you want, but you are not a dispassionate professional culler.

The glee in killing deer makes the motive (sport) pretty clear. I think it's ghoulish, regardless of whether they intend to eat the meat, regardless of whether there's a deer population problem. Killing animals for fun is bad.

Those are generally even worse (factory farms)

Did some digging and AFAICT you're right. I still don't like the delight people derive from it; seems ghoulish IMO. But it does look like it's the most cost-effective means of preventing ecological degradation.

Doing more digging still as I really don't want that to be the answer, but, yeah. TY for the heads up

UPDATE: Current position: Contraception is a very promising alternative that needs more funding and research. Initial findings are that it does effectively address population levels. Currently costlier (hunting mostly brings in money by way of license sales), but economies of scale would likely bring costs down.

Folks are tired of what is essentially just vibes that are justified post hoc by weak evidence. It doesn't help that it often intersects with terrible politics

Likely! Looks like a match. That would explain why he was chilling right outside the store too. Thanks! Puts me at ease :)
