And federal buildings in democratic areas… unfortunately status quo democrats aren’t going to be the champions of this - they will just use it to fund raise more

Can you clarify, who are you talking about?

So that’s why my GPS was working like shit for a few weeks last month…

My friend, I said I was surprised at the tactics not at the goal.

I’m tuned in to the situation, but appreciate the links

Sounds comfy. Could depend on the spinal support and alignment though. A cot keeps you off uneven ground. FWIW

My man, you need a better bed. I get this whenever I sleep on a shit bed somewhere.

If you’re camping take a cot

The part where you said you voted in multiple elections. I added it to my original post because you missed the thread

I’m quoting you here:

“As a European that lived in America briefly (ten years) I was very shocked when I encountered the gun culture there.”

“I voted for Bernie in the 'primary, I voted for Biden and I’m voting for Kamala. Trump is a piece of shit insurrectionist that should not be on the ballot.“

How are these two things possible without you being a liar?

Correct.

In Latvia the reason they are even having this discussion is because when USSR were occupiers they suppressed the local language (Latvian) with a brutal police regime, concentration camps, and the forced migration of ethnic Russians.

So yes - exactly. Moscovite Russia/ USSR started a cultural genocide in Latvia. This is just the fallout

I know two teachers personally. This is not the case in my discussions with them and others. Maybe you can enlighten me on what does take 10 hours of time daily?

From speaking them they are absolutely not working from 8:0am - 6:00pm on every day.

Lesson plans are inherited from prior teachers and … yes continuously updated during the year but not at a major time cost every day. Grading takes a few hours for one day either on the weekend or in the evening.

And yes they complain about it constantly… it seems more a cultural thing. They also complain about other teachers complaining 🤣

I’m not touching the issue of summers off because yes that is a different thing, and yes it’s quite hard for them to get real employment.

Again salaries should be higher and support teachers not assuming they can work in the summer… but why conflate this with the daily hours ( which are frankly good as stated by those who I know in the profession as a reason they like and took the job)

Teachers are horrendously underpaid, but they need to stop complaining about the “hours”. It rings disingenuous to most who know the job.

Unless they are taking afterschool roles they work generally 8-3:00 with a potentially a few hours of work after for grading and lesson planning. This is along with numerous holidays / admin days during the school year.

I say this knowing personally a few teachers who complain about hours, and it seems to be a cultural thing not based in their reported real experiences.

The salary is shit, at least for non-senior roles in my state, but that is not a lot of hours relative to the average wage earner.

I mean… it was pretty bad but also clearly a slip of tongue as it didn’t confuse the sentence or message - not great though , fuck the DNC

While we’re engaging with your fantasies… I might suggest the US supports Ukraine all the way up to Moscow’s front door.

Prigozhin proved all you have to do is drive up the highway.

Russia is a paper tiger, and it benefits the west to arm Ukraine as long as they will fight the occupier and expose them. From a political realist perspective this is true even if Ukraine looses.

Your arguments are false and I suspect you are a troll. Slava Ukraine.

It’s publicly stated by Israeli military staff there were warnings of preparations for an attack that were not believed by top brass and the administration despite clear evidence.

There is a bunch of reporting on this in mainstream news sources if you look.

It is positioned that they never believed Hamas would have the capabilities to carry out what they were clearly planning

When the consequence is world ending, that’s an okay reaction.

People just don’t understand basic probability payouts

Hey fellow traveler. Do make a post on Lemmy or share via a message. I would love to read what you wrote.

It’s all about the Bojangles
