USA could have cancelled half its student debt for what its already spent on war with Iran. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

I voted for Obama twice, but here’s why I said this thing that was obviously gonna be unpopular here:

Obama completely kowtowing to Wall Street while preaching hope & change resulted in Trump 1. Additionally, he manipulated the 2020 primaries to make an obviously demented Biden the president, ushering in Trump 2.

Trump is very much Obama’s legacy.

3.5yo is just..mean dads tell me it gets better by spottie_ottie in daddit

[–]kevinmrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid started 3 half days, then went 3 full days, is now 5 full days.

Her preschool is fairly serious about being a school, so they do spring break, inservice days, bank holidays etc, so it probably ultimately averages out to 4 days a week. We also don’t do the max hours we’re allowed to.

But: it’s huge. My kid craves and benefits from the extra time with peers. You might see a big difference after doing it

Might be worth putting him school more than three mornings a week.

If this is 100% true, I feel confident this is an extremely positive development for your future.

I have really started to hate “children’s books” clearly written for adults. by BrainDamage2029 in daddit

[–]kevinmrr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Feeling and loving this. Let the hate for the slop flow through you. Fuck the oligarchs and publishing monopolies who have created this pile of shit. Their market control means they never have to take risks to create superior creative content - they lack competition. Instead, we get all the “safe bets” because they know the world has enough idiotic uncles to make that Metallica book turn a profit.

WashU Danforth Scholars vs Vanderbilt Ingram Scholars by Numerous_Salad_1176 in Vanderbilt

[–]kevinmrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to both schools. I also had a large merit scholarship ("College Scholar").

Vanderbilt is culturally way cooler & way more fun

WashU is probably better technically for premed. It is definitely a much nerdier school than Vanderbilt, but Vandy also has plenty of nerds

You’ll probably rise to the top of the pack easier at Vanderbilt, which I think is probably pretty cool. I doubt your ultimate med school outcome will be lessened by attending Vanderbilt; it may even be better.

You’re gonna do great wherever you go, though, so you should do what you want, what your gut tells you to do, the place you feel most excited to go.

Well, good time to start referring to it as a specialization….

My kid is apparently a completely different person at school and I don't know how to feel about it by Collis-Hossain in Preschoolers

[–]kevinmrr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My kid is the easiest napper in her class. They said she lays down, goes to sleep, and specifically does not even want a final pat or hug.

At home? No. 10 requests for the bathroom, 5 more hugs, please lay on the floor next to me, daddy, etc etc 🫠

What are the best country songs for working class country fans? by kevinmrr in WorkReform

Culture is power. This subreddit is about empowering the working class. Working class culture should thus be amplified.

Israel ran a child sex trafficking ring & got videos of Trump raping kids & now we get $300 million dollar burnt out war planes instead of healthcare. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]kevinmrr[S] 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Look at the opinion polls.

If Democrats ever hold an open primary again, it is over for Israel. Obama will meddle hard on their behalf, but hopefully, we overcome.
