The train driver will just be replaced with an Uber driver for a fraction of the cost. Even better the Uber driver is an independent contractor and not an employee so when the train derails the train owner is not liable but are actually entitled to have their damages paid first.

I would too if I had to teach people's snot nosed kids all day then get harassed all evening by their parents calling me a groomer. The students hate you, the parents hate you, the school board hands down ridiculous requirements without any of the resources required to fulfill that, and everyone blames you for things you have absolutely no control over. Your benefits have been slashed, your pay is laughable, but you're going to feel fulfilment in your work. Right? If I was a public teacher I'd drink too.

While that is generally the rule, I found this one to be the exception. There are a few things New York city is known for, let alone every other major city in the world.

Those same farmers I was talking about before have absolutely put down their own animals. They've shot their dogs when they're old and it's time. One family in particular let their cats "rejoin with nature" aka, just leaving it outside until a predator gets it. I think that's crewl but I can accept those cats are farm cats, not house cats and had lived 'in nature' their whole lives. I've even heard about culling day when they plan to shoot the less useful animals. They get the right ammo, carts, make plans for what they will do with the carcass.

What they don't do is shoot a young dog because it's not what they hate it, then follow up with shooting a goat too and are pleased with themselves. That's a bright red flag for anti-social or psychopathic behavior, I can never remember which is which. The farmers I know see culling their livestock as a task or a burden, but I've never heard a farmer tell me they take pleasure from it like Governor Noem did in her book. Unprompted I must add.

Someone with one brain cell and a shred of morality would re-home the dog first. At least try too. Growing up near farmers it wasn't uncommon for them to give someone else a dog when that dog was a bad farm dog but could be a family dog. I've known farmers and they don't act like Governor Noem.

Ok pal slow your roll. I'm on your side and you're right. I said what I took from his quote not what it actually means and definitely not how it's used in pop culture. I know what it means. You can call me lazy, cause I don't bother to really explain myself well online, but please don't call me ignorant. You come across as looking for a fight and that doesn't make me want to actually engage you in a serious discussion.

'Capitalism is the worst from of economy, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.' - modified Winston Churchill quote. While I know how I use the quote in my head isn't how Churchill intended, to me it means don't settle for something just because it's the best option that's currently available.

They, right now, are comparing Marxists to Evangelical Christians and are circlejerking about it, lol.

In what way are they comparing the two? Doing a comparison of Marxists against Evangelical Christians could be valid depending on the context of the comparison. Marx had a bit to say on religion's role in the class struggle.

From my very basic understanding, yeah that's basically what it does. However it accounts for a whole lot more into adding or subtracting from UTC. Timezones aren't absolute, they're political. Timezones have weird rules, and history that needs to be somehow expressed in the code to get the right time. That's what's sets tz_database apart from just looking at a map and saying it's +7 UTC.

Yeah, well that's just, like, your opinion, man. (You mentioned the word opinion in a post referencing The Big Lebowski. I had to. Thank you for coming to my shit post.)

That's when district management gets involved.

Problem: There are 19 sources of truth for this information

Solution: There are now 20 sources of truth for this information

The only reason why cats aren't hunting us down right now is because we're too big to be prey. I read somewhere a long time ago that domestic cats have one of the highest predation success rate in the mammalian class. Meaning once they choose to actually try to hunt something they usually get it.

What's Marvel brain? I tried looking it up but just got a bunch of marvel characters with large heads.

Unless dear reader, you are in a simulation. The writer of this comment, and everyone you've ever met might just be NPCs in your situation.

The Good Place. In my opinion one of the top shows made in the past 10 years.

It's alarming how frequently my vet prescribes benzos for my dog. He's a reactive dog sure but he's not overly anxious. Part of me thinks that it's the vet trying to make one more sale sometimes.

Doing nothing every now and again is great. You should give your grandmother a call though. She's probably thinking about you and it would cheer up her day*. Mine have passed away long ago and I wish I could talk to my grandmothers just one more time.

*Assuming you have a healthy relationship with your grandmother, if you don't I'm sorry and you shouldn't listen to my advice.
