  • What they don't talk about is how fucked some teachers were when it came to teaching writing.

    Fucking drill sergeant ex nuns had 1st through 3d graders writing the letter S for hours. That's not how you're supposed to learn what a cramp is. I've got a lump on my middle finger cradles a pencil to this day.

  • Haha this just reminded me of a time when we were visiting a family member at one, and an old lady asked my sister to hold out her hand for a gift, and then plopped come canned peaches into her outstretched hand.

  • Western PA, literally everything is near an abandoned coal mine. The woods near my house growing up had sink holes all over the place and coal just sitting on the sides of the hill where it had been dumped and abandoned.

  • I ran a script to over write and delete my comments, but left the account open as a placeholder.

    Have still received comment replies to my posts twice. When I went to see the comment it was deleted.

  • Yeah, that's kinda why the company is getting fined. For the crimes.

    Companies like this operate like an umbrella and hide people from the protections our laws offer them, frequently holding leverage over workers in ways that cross international boundaries.

    People aren't getting work visas to do grunt work in manufacturing or meat slaughter houses. This is America. No one needs a temp service to hire teenagers if you're doing things legally in those industries.

    There's a reason this company used a hiring service, you see it in every industry that needs hard labor in this country. Its the elephant in the room. Wake up.

  • And you had all the protections afforded a citizen. You could speak up and not worry about deportation. If they didn't pay you, you had recourse. These people don't. So don't kid yourself when you think you've worked similar conditions.

  • I still reminisce about my Oink ratio. Seeded Rosetta Stone on a university connection. Access to the school's radio station's library.

    Probably the closest I'll come to generational wealth, my grandchildren could have leeched music on my account and I'd still be positive.
