Oh no, you see they’re “not rich enough to make a difference”, so they’re allowed to do nothing. Since the definition is intrinsic to them they’ll never be “rich enough” to help and they’ll always “help when I’m rich enough to make a difference”. So they can always be good people while doing nothing and they can always chastise the rich for “not doing enough” no matter how much they’re helping because “if they were that rich they’d help more”
It’s really beautiful actually how perfect the system is.
Cops are always on the side of fascists, even in blue cities.
2·17 days agoYup. I hope they start something BIG!
1·17 days agoThey said this strike was about class size limits and you said the problem is too complicated for simple class size limits, disagreeing with the union position.
Do you really think the teachers asking for class size limits don’t understand the nuance you pointed out? Do you think you’re the only one who understands the complexity of the situation. And yet they’re all asking for class size limits anyways, because although it’s imperfect it’s better than the current approach.
I don’t see where you’re confused. When you respond against a statement you’re disagreeing with it, as I’m disagreeing with you. Stop pretending context doesn’t matter and each of your statements should be taken and debated independently. That’s nonsense!
Good luck to those two. Unless a significant portion of the military and national guard reject orders they’re just going to get court martialed.
Basically if you’re in the army you HAVE TO obey orders. “I was just following orders” is enshrined as a legal defense for everything except overtly criminal acts like genocide, killing babies, etc… even if the order was otherwise illegal. On the other hand, disobeying an order you think might be illegal means you will be arrested and held until a judge decides if the order was legal or not.
The only way this works is if their fellow military members and National guard all refuse to obey these illegal orders to hurt their fellow countrymen.
I like how you know that some classes are too big to manage. You list several considerations a teacher may use to determine what is and isn’t a manageable class size. Then you turn around and use that to argue AGAINST class size limits.
You apparently oppose any class size limit because “it doesn’t perfectly resolve every situation”, leaving the teachers with no class size limits and no tools to resolve the very real issue of managing large class sizes.
This is a perfect encapsulation of conservative logic.
1.You see a problem you agree is real 2. You see someone’s proposed imperfect solution to the problem which certainly would shrink the size of the problem but not perfectly solve it. 3. You oppose the solution because although it would shrink the size of the problem, it’s imperfect and doesn’t solve the whole thing all at once. 4. You don’t propose or support any replacement. 5. The problem continues to grow unresolved, and you’re satisfied having done a good job stopping any kind of progress whatsoever.
LMFAO the amount of union cope in this post is WILD.
“I used to work for an non union school and we got fucked by the government. Luckily they sent someone down to convince us this was okay. Then after I left the teachers there realised it’s NOT okay, unionized and immediately got the same better pay that I was told simply wasn’t possible. Now the government is trying to fuck the teachers again including by the tyrannical use of the NWC and the unions are standing up for it but I’m confused, could it be the unions were good all along and the government was bad?!?”
Bro, I’m sorry you were so easily separated from the fair wages you deserved and could have had if you were unionized. We need unions to protect teachers like you, who are willing to give up their fair wages for a sad story. The very same gentleness that likely makes you great with kids is used by the government to exploit you. You need protection from people who are going to fight for what you deserve from a government who has been fucking teachers over from day one.
Edit: in case it helps the reason the teachers union is refusing the agreement isn’t wages, it’s because they want a class size limit. As a teacher you should know what it’s like teaching classes of 35+ kids. The government won’t budge because they don’t care about teachers or kids. They see teachers as overpaid government funded babysitters so parents can go to work, and the more kids they can throw in a class the cheaper it is for them.
This is excellent news. The ends don’t justify the means, just because the person committed crimes doesn’t mean the police can ignore the law to find evidence and arrest them.
The police showed up at an overdose case, and found people with drugs, which is obviously true, people without drugs don’t overdose. The Good Samaritan act prohibits the police from arresting/investigating people on drug charges during an overdose call. As a result of the arrest the police found evidence of other crimes on his person and charged him with those crimes instead. The judges ruled that because the arrest was illegal, all evidence gathered during the arrest was also illegal. This is EXACTLY the role of judges, to reinforce the law and prevent abuses of power.
I literally can’t understand the opposing view because it sounds a lot like “illegally gathered evidence should be admissible in court” which if you know any history at all is a bonkers take.
These businesses are dumb as fuck. The data is in: around 10% of purchases at downtown businesses come from people who drove there. Making streets more welcoming to pedestrians, transit users and cyclists boosts local and small business revenues even when it’s at the cost of being less welcoming to cars.
These people just don’t understand the science and data behind who their customers are and how to cater to them.
This is a bullshit take that Monika Lewinsky denies even now
This was a mutual relationship, mutual on all levels, right from the way it started and all the way through.
If you can make a criticism it’s that Clinton blamed the whole thing on her being a seductive harlot including in his book after the presidency. But you certainly can’t just decide she’s a victim in a sexual relationship because you feel like it’s true, that’s the opposite of believe women and you’re undermining her agency
Lol the guy is literally “I got nothing better so here is an ad hominem”
Wow, commit war crimes or renounce citizenship? Such a hard choice!
3·1 month agoOh yeah I’ll drop it… With my NO ARMS … you insensitive piece of poop
I know I’m a terrible human, all I could think of was this skit
The minimum liability insurance isn’t a scam. If you hit someone and cripple them you’ll be glad for insurance to pay their medical etc…
Comprehensive is absolutely a scam. Just take the money and save it, maybe buy some bonds. Then when it’s time to buy a new car (or when you get your car totaled) you’re already half way to a new car.
But don’t stay TOO far away, otherwise you can still be a victim of arrows. There is in ideal distance to THAT GUY to minimize your arrow related risks.
If you watch the clip it’s evident he wants to sleep with Miller

There are always people defending these creeps who seek out the youngest most vulnerable sexual partners they can legally fuck. You don’t realise that in saying “he didn’t know she was 17” you’re claiming this behaviour is otherwise okay.
An old man, fucking an 18 year old is like a fast food boss paying his employees minimum wage: if you could legally get away with less you would. Finding these creeps “accidentally” fucking children is like the manager “accidentally” entering fewer hours on your timesheet every week. You have to be a real dope to believe it was an accident.
