This thread shows that a whole bunch of people need to start taking online education courses. Getting back your algebra skills, some science perhaps, communication, history, etc.
I don’t know where you can get a proper education for that after grade school, but I see Brilliant.org advertised a lot.
You can trust when I say, if it wasn’t so well known that educators get the raw deal right now, there would be way more teachers. I for one, thought about being a teacher and still do. But the terrible pay, the lack of funding… really detured me and I’m sure a bunch of folks away. I know people who actively suggest people away from going into teaching, because they don’t want to see the person just struggle and watch their passion die.
It’s not a problem of finding the supply (teachers), it’s about creating the demand (way better pay and working conditions)
Maybe it was supposed to be 100 doll hairs… common mistake.
The problem, though, is a lack of prioritization in education, especially in the US. It’s a constant: more kids, fewer teachers. Teachers also get paid very little for what they deal with. Many teachers end up having to spend their own money to buy supplies the kids need. Meanwhile, my hometown has had 2 multi-million dollar embezzlement scandals that I know of. There was a news story a few years ago where the education board was making boatloads of cash, and teachers got jack (I can’t find the article, but I think it was during the pandemic).
Most schools when I was a teenager, would gladly buy up new football gear, a new coach bus (because the one from a couple years ago is just, not flashy anymore) but other departments can’t get new books (I remember using books from the late 80s… and it wasn’t the 80s), supplies, equipment, larger school buildings, more teachers, etc.
A teacher having even 20 kids is too many. We need more teachers, we need to prioritize education funding and standards. We don’t need AI.
I’ve lost count the number of times where I try to find something in SO, and it’s just someone posting the exact same example code as the answer. Or someone suggesting you just google it. Then I ask ChatGPT… and I get an answer.
While I’ve not taken them, though I’ve thought about it, I’ve met people who have. It’s shocking how well those drugs work. Both of them were super happy with the results and could probably be sales reps, to be honest. One was even proud to share her before photo, because she wanted to drive home just how well it worked. No one believed her until she showed the photos.
I still don’t think influencer is the correct word.
They do the same job as a billboard. They sell crappy products. If anything we could call them corporate whores.
My great-grandfather was there on D-Day.
A good portion of his descendants are hard Trump supporters and are pro-nationalism and pro-fascism.
Glad he’s not around to see his family literally turn and support the very things he fought against.
There’s also the time JCPenney’s actually had everything at the best price and so they weren’t doing discounts. But everyone was waiting for the ‘sales’. Your average American would rather have something be marked up $200 and then listed as 75% off than just pay $50 regular price.
It’s not sending the message they hope it is.
As a US citizen. YES. FFS, the point of sanctions is to compel a change or deter an action. Americans might pay way more attention when the rest of the world puts us in timeout because of the terrible leadership.
Well, yeah. That’s literally the point of sanctions.
For a second, I thought that was @DemolitionRanch from YT (just an older photo or something)
Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.
Holy fucking shit. The fuck does he consider inhumane!
Can I use this to get out of work with pay? Pretty sure symptoms will clear up in 4 years?
I don’t think he has to care, but I think he might. SpaceX and Tesla are the only 2 brands he regularly promotes as he hopes people forget about all the other stolen, idiotic ideas that have failed.
He has mentioned many times in the past how “owning a Tesla is fiscally responsible”. Considering DOGE and falling Tesla sales… it’s only a matter of time until he sees if he can push Tesla as “The American Car” subsidised by tax payers and potentially cheaper then other brands (due to tariffs)… I don’t put it past him to try to take over all the transportation in the country. He’s stopped pretending he isn’t just a super villain a while ago, so going out of our way to ensure that the most “affordable” car is his and cripple the nation further by literally controlling the means of transportation.
Ok, then a vibrator is a robotic dick.
I also want him of Earth for what it’s worth. Let him pack up a Space X rocket and head to Mars. Start that colony he said we’d absolutely would have by now, because it’s so easy (according to him). He’s be the first person in Mars!
A lot of people in this thread really down playing or overlooking she willingly stabbed someone 19 times.
Oh good, we’re not up to having to provide bone marrow (yet).
