I am disappointed to learn the backup QB from Friday Night Lights has not, in fact, slightly misspelled his own name and started a cover band.

e: drat it. Some other people talk more about how white collar office workers don’t have to do much. I want more information so I can somehow get in on that.

Does someone assembling a Corvette make more than someone building a Toyota? Does a corvette factory employ as many people as a Toyota one? Can you get utility from a Corvette by hauling tons of consumer goods or produce?

The real humor is that these shitheads' argument is self-defeating. You want to provide the greatest good to the most people? Cut out the middle men who jacked up the price of various components, as well as the profit margin that goes into the bloated coffers of the company owners.

Hm, if only there was some sort of...system, maybe, that provided the means of production to the state.

https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16963489.class-ceiling-why-dont-more-people-want-to-be-teachers/

Ken Muir, chief executive of the General Teaching Council for Scotland posted:

"One of the good things about Scottish society is that we have opened up more opportunities for women to embark on a much wider range of careers than was every the case before and teaching, because of its dominance of females, suffers as a result of that," said Mr Muir.

Mr Muir also believes new post-Millennial "iPad generation" have a different attitude towards their careers than was the case in the past.

"We are seeing youngsters who have been exposed to a different type of background who are much more inclined to try something out and, if it doesn't work, then they press the reset button and try something else," he said.

"That kind of mentality is something we are seeing much more of in teaching and it is one of the reasons why we cannot retain some of the younger teachers.

"The first couple of years are the most difficult and if you are one of these Millennials who is used to hitting the reset button when they are playing computer games then they take that kind of thinking into how they see their career and look for something else."



Woman having more opportunities is the reason teaching is failing, also those drat Millenials! :arghfist:

Teaching in Scotland is fuccckkkeed, and the government keeps blaming the teachers.

The Fifth Element is a movie directed by a pedophile starring a Right Wing chud whose nemesis is a racist, nationalist dickhead and whose love interest is practically a child with no agency of her own.

So why the gently caress is it one of my favorite movies? :smithicide:

even some rich people are self aware enough to know a naive approach means they're hosed and will probably just get bullets in the back of their heads from the security and facilities staff if they get into the bunker. of course, they're still not self aware enough and start theorizing about obedience shock collars and secret access codes only they know to get to the food and poo poo lmao. they literally want to be technocratic feudal lords in their fantasies

He basically said that Mel Gibson was just saying what we were all thinking.
After, in a Playboy interview, Oldman: “We’re all loving hypocrites. That’s what I think about it. The policeman who arrested him has never used the word ‘n****r’ or ‘that loving Jew’? I’m being brutally honest here. It’s the hypocrisy of it that drives me crazy.”

He did apologize later and say that it's always wrong to do those things and he wasn't claiming otherwise, just that we've all done it and should acknowledge that.





I suppose I did too, but like, in middle school before I knew any better. Mel and Gary are old enough to know better I think.

Rat poo poo, cyanide, uranium, and cockroaches are all natural. The label is meaningless and companies who use it should be fined and/or sent to the firing squad.

I'd think a missile silo would be the place that gets the most nukes to make sure it's destroyed, unless you're living in one of the really old ones that's nowhere near the modern ones I guess
