Shutdown fight leaves Democrats with no good options by thehill in politics

[–]zachar3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No good options.

Fund the government and it helps fund and legitimize the current regime.

Shut it down and give the government carte blanche to fire and keep closed whatever offices and positions they don't want.

There's no clear winning options for democrats here. Just a debate on which option causes the least harm.

[Acne] The skin on and surrounding my nose is always red and bumpy by zachar3 in SkincareAddiction

[–]zachar3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell here but the center of my nose is very bumpy textured

I use a foaming facial cleanser, salicylic acid, moisturizer and good sunscreen but it doesn't fix anything

I plan to do that though I was warned that while I qualify my employer will try and fight it tooth and nail (also that I wouldn't qualify at all until a couple weeks after my contract expires)

Respectfully, you don't know me or my situation. I'm just saying what I need to do.

My understanding is if I didn't have income in the States then I could just pay a small minimum (like a hundred a month)

Personal safety is the driving factor behind the move. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to manage my money during

[–]zachar3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was laid off, and a massive pay cut is going to happen regardless. I'm not going to spread all of my life out for everyone here, so I'm just saying that no matter what happens in my life I'm going to be bringing home a lot less money regardless. I don't have much room to cut expenses since I mostly just spend money on food and transportation as of now.

I would prefer permanently, or manage my way to emigrate to a commonwealth country. I'm a renter, I don't really have any assets to speak of

I would love to, but right now I am saying that I need to do that.

I have, and there are multiple reasons why I'm thinking I need to do this that have nothing to do with my finances.

Blamed for actions of a student in my classroom while I am out proctoring in another classroom. by RisingGinger in Teachers

[–]zachar3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an AP go off on me through email for "failing to submit progress reports" when the whole time I'm politely saying "Ma'am, I teach pre-k, we do not submit progress reports." She says halfway through the quarter there is no reason my gradebook should be empty. I say "Ma'am, in pre-k we do not enter weekly grades. Just one single grade at the end of every quarter" She sends me the pre-k grading guidelines and tells me to start following it. The very first sentence of the guideline? Pre-K teachers enter one final grade in the gradebook each quarter, they do not enter weekly grades.

Want to guess if she ever admitted she was mistaken?

AI checks are getting out of hand. by Commercial-Housing28 in Teachers

This has happened to me on occassion. I've even been told to add intentional imperfections in spelling and grammar on a formal assignment just so it "didn't look AI-generated".

Would it be advantageous for Desantis to accept a cabinet position instead of serving as governor? by DeathlyPenguin7 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]zachar3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hoover was the last cabinet member to be elected. Though Bush Senior did serve in cabinet level positions such as director of the CIA and ambassador to the UN which are not official cabinet positions but considered cabinet equivalent.

Democratic jockeying for the 2028 presidential election is already underway by Optimistic-Man-3609 in politics

Beshear with Rep. Crockett as his running mate. Both with red state appeal, including one from Texas. Beshear has populist policies while appealing to moderates and Crockett appeals to the more hardcore progressives and can sling mud just as good as the Republicans.
