We also have the right to fire you for any reason

And they really do mean any. They just won’t always say the real reason out loud.

Unfortunately, failing classes in public education is not at all common anymore. It requires a lot of documentation, meetings, calls, individualized curriculum adjustments, and a multitude of second chances. On top of that, administration is not a fan because it makes the school look bad in their eyes.

A lot of the teachers I worked with would vent their frustration that it was way too much work to fail a student or get them dropped from the program. Unfortunately, I was too busy figuring out how to update the curriculum from Windows 7, on machines built to run Windows 7, as well as just learning how to teach (my “training” was about half a day of sitting in on other classes), to fight that kind of battle. At some point, it’s a disservice to the rest of the class to spend that time and energy on the ones who are there to coast.

I tried my best. Hopefully everybody learned a few things. If nothing else, I certainly did.

The lack of etiquette is really frustrating. Had a tech student that was always putting in both earbuds as I was speaking. Had to walk over and wave my hand in front of the screen to get their attention.

When they graduated they said they were excited to get a job in the industry. Internally can’t help but think “with what knowledge or experience? You spent the entire class blocking it out.”

I wonder about the effects of having a low grade constant stressor like that.

Heart disease like irregular heartbeat and stroke. Gastrointestinal problems such as ulcers and IBS. Increased susceptibility to illness. Ability to learn/memorize/perceive are reduced. Not to mention the effects of maladaptive coping mechanisms such as drinking, smoking, drugs etc.

Many disorders originate from stress, especially if the stress is severe and prolonged. The medical community needs to have a greater appreciation for the significant role that stress may play in various diseases and then treat the patient accordingly using both pharmacological (medications and/or nutraceuticals) and non-pharmacological (change in lifestyle, daily exercise, healthy nutrition, and stress reduction programs) therapeutic interventions.

Golf courses, despite occupying large green spaces, are not necessarily good for the environment.

Bit of an understatement.

Trump appointed Milley to his position in 2018. Milley said in an interview published last week in The Atlantic that Trump asked him when he offered him the position as chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff if he was “soft on transgenders.”

“I’m not soft on transgender or hard on transgender,” he says he replied. “I’m about standards in the U.S. military, about who is qualified to serve in the U.S. military. I don’t care who you sleep with or what you are.”

Trump announced his ban on transgender people serving openly in the military in 2017, which his administration defended in courts for years until the Biden administration got rid of it in 2021.

“Trump’s attitude toward the uniformed services seemed superficial, callous, and, at the deepest human level, repugnant,” Milley said in the interview.

I can see why Republicans hate him.

Perhaps you’re suited to answer this: What protections are there for end users against this being some sort of rug pull?

Title of this post: Upward of 20,000 Ukrainian amputees face trauma on a scale unseen since WWI

The title of your article: The Murder of People with Disabilities - The Nazis saw people with disabilities as an obstacle in their attempts to create an idealized “German race.” In 1939, the Nazi regime began a systematic program to murder them.

What is the statement?

Is your problem with the fact that they say “since WWI”? Your “wink wink, nudge nudge, get what I mean” explanation makes no sense lol. Just say what you mean, nobody knows what the heck you’re talking about.

Justin McElroy is going to be heartbroken.

…what was the question again? chuckles

Can we please let this meme hate die? How have you people not adjusted to the concept of putting on a costume and roleplaying, we do it every October.

This would go great in a Sbubby community. Love me a delicious Peepi.

…sheesh. 😬

Unfortunately, meme communities are where ironically terrible people and actual terrible people mingle and pretend that everyone else is in the same group they are.

Just letting you know that your comment looks a lot like you don’t care about human rights abuses so you might want to fix that.

Good bot

I couldn’t tell you - I used the Wikipedia article to reference the specifics and I’m not sure where I first heard about the story. I just remember that the mathematics community dogpiled on her hard for some time and has since completely turned around to accept her answer as correct.

Also relevant - she did not invent the problem, but her article is considered by some to have been what popularized it.

This is fantastic, thank you.
