  • You can't teach if you don't identify where the students are getting things wrong and correct them. It's one of the major reasons why teachers deserve so much more pay. My wife used to be a teacher, and she worked 2-3 hours past the end of school correcting students' work pretty much every weekday, and spent several hours every weekend planning out her lessons for the following week. She got paid significantly less than me working in a basic entry-level 9-5 office position.

  • My wife and I will sit in the same room for hours and never speak a word to each other. We only talk when we have something to say, and we're both happy with that relationship. My sister thinks we're crazy, but we like it quiet.

  • There's a reason for those "slower traffic move right" signs. People drive at different speeds - if the people behind want to go faster than the people in front, it's their responsibility to let them pass, so long as there's a safe space in another lane to do so.

  • I never understood the fight against nihilism, as if it's inherently bleak. I came to the conclusion that nothing truly matters a long time ago, but that doesn't keep me from feeling like stuff matters, and doing what matters to me. Subjective meaning can still drive you to pursue and live a good life even while you're aware that objective meaning doesn't exit. Happiness feels good, which is enough for me.

  • I've never had a problem starting on step 4 and repeating a few times.

  • I don't even have to pretend I'm not working when I'm in the office. I'm constantly being interrupted by people to the point where I only get maybe 2 hours of good working conditions total throughout the day. I may spend a good amount of my time at home blatantly not working, but even then I'm still getting more work done in a day than trying and failing to work for 8 hours in the office.

  • My only regret is only being born with 7 fingers to give...

  • It all makes sense when you realize who makes the cutoff for what they consider "people."

  • I didn't even think it could mean anything other than that until I started reading the comments. Coming from Trump this certainly reads more like a "finish them!" than a "leave them alone!"

  • As far as I can tell, the word "boomer" has shifted from "an out-of-touch adult from the baby boomer generation" to "an out-of touch adult."

  • Correct - forums are a place for people who talk rather than do, because those that do don't have the time to argue online. Though I shit on all evil, regardless of some arbitrary relation to America. I don't rely on American news outlets, I watch the global scene. It's why I understand that America is just as bad as any of the other cartoonishly evil places in the world that people will fall for propaganda to defend.

  • I think we all know that anyone sitting on the computer talking about activism is here because they're not out performing activism. This is the place of cowards who talk bigger than they are.

  • I live in the US, so I know first hand how having faith in anyone in a position of power will come back to bite you.

  • Only fight the greater evils! Lesser evils should be ignored! The cry of people who don't understand how greater evils are created.

  • It makes me want to dedicate my life to fighting the US, NK, SK, and any other government that exploits its people instead of serving them.

  • Haha, you think I'm afraid of admitting the US is just as bad as NK? Ridiculous. Where do you think they learned it from?

  • Because he knew nobody would actually enforce it.

  • I managed to find love through online dating, but it's true that you need to put a lot of time and effort into making an interesting and informative profile, sorting through all the low-effort users to find the people who are actually invested, and crafting engaging and personalized opening messages for the people among them who you happen to find attractive. There's a big incentive to just spam everyone with "hey," but all that does is put more money in the company's pockets from months of no hits.

  • This is some Made in Abyss type shit, and I'm all for it .
