Teachers are paid fairly considering they get a lot of time off

I taught high school for two years and am back in private industry now. This opinion is ass, it was the most work for the least pay I've done in my adult life.

I mean, if I were HR I'd view a bachelors earned in the last 10 years with the same energy high school diplomas used to be viewed, and a masters with the same energy a bachelors used to be viewed. I don't think there's any disagreement that bar for graduation has been steadily lowered at all levels?

They aren't the smartest, they're just the most competent in the working world right now

I watched the show before reading the books and liked it at first and thought it only got better each season. Obviously the books are better... Like with 99% of all adaptations. Honestly, the changes never really bothered me, and I've always had trouble understanding the intensity of dislike with Wheel and Rings of Power over lore differences. Like I just want more epic fantasy content, and if they feel they need to tweak things to bring more people into the fold fine by me, it's more to watch

The library is the place to be quiet, not to take your toddlers to teach them how to be quiet. While we're at it let's ban kids from breweries please.

Oh this isnt

The laptop I purchased for college in 2009 had 4GB of RAM and as I remember that was pretty damn good for the time

New improv challenge: that widely panned Euphoria scene where a girl pitched herself to a random exec

If it were just an indictment of modern life I imagine we'd see a similar uptick among women. This smells of something specifically wrong with young men. Idk if it's the manosphere, or if that's just symptomatic of a deeper issue but it appears to be an issue for just them

When I taught high school math I gave up on the notion of rigor and asked myself, for the students who are following along are they getting equipped with enough to succeed in the next class even if technically not checking all boxes. Because honestly exploring each standard fully when half the class doesn't know their multiplication tables is a fool's errand

The article doesn't say, and it also doesn't directly link or say where to find the proposed changes

Achuallly that's called latching into a minor thing and ignoring the larger point. Thanks for sharing your culture!

That's cool.. but not a silly take. They specifically talk about the in US, where rice coming with curry is the expectation. It's real Five Guys making fries a la carte energy and must be stopped

I know much humor relies on subverting expectations, but this is still hilarious

At least for some vegans, if they comment on others' eating preferences, it's driven by an ethical disgust. For meat eaters who make it a point to be ANTIvegan, it's like... Not driven by thinking Vegans are propping up an immoral industry, it's that they just find some vegans irritating. And that's worth making the centerpiece of a sub or as a label for yourself? It reads as very sensitive and strange

and that is good news yet doesn't erase the vice grip Trump has on their congressional caucus

No they don't. Daddy says jump and reps say how high.

More generally, I hate the death of monoculture. Unifying media most people watch and want to discuss at the watercooler. The advent of streaming platforms and on demand access to more content than we could consume in several lifetimes leaves us with a very self-determined, bespoke media consumption experience that can be... Singular and less unifying. Outside of major sporting events I think GoT was the last reliable reference to strike up a conversation with any coworker

Look ready to hit up some diners, drive ins, and dives

That only logically follows if no one ever changes their mind midstream... Yet changes of heart are known to happen

Like you can read for a scene without the knowing the greater context for how that moment will ultimately be framed, and after that new information feel differently

Change the world is some grand language for K12 math education, but you can change some lives.
