“They were all Hamas”

The fact that the George Floyd protests happened during this time of WFH and actually took hold for a while completely support this claim.

“Pro-Lie”

Because conservatives in the US are using it as a playbook for the next 10 years.

I’ve been using Apple Music for a couple years now and I’m pretty satisfied with it. I moved because Spotify pays artists atrociously and Apple is at least a little better. There hasn’t been much I haven’t been able to find, since there are a lot of services out there that will handle the release of music to multiple platforms easily.

I worked for as a software engineer for a company that I did interviews for. We were told that “pet projects” were a red flag unless they were a current college student. They showed a lack of commitment to their current employer. Basically, there’s no reason for them to have a side project, they should be working more for their current boss.

I left that company shortly after.

“Not a good culture fit”

Oh good, the weekly “Apple is the worst company in the world” post.

Un-ac-CEPTABLE!

Agreed, but the data they’re citing doesn’t show that. It does show what I commented.

Better headline: the richest 1% of Americans have more combined wealth than the bottom 90% of Americans.

Very red.

There’s no motivation to do the work. Students that work hard get a diploma. Students that don’t do anything…still get a diploma.

We have students who can barely read and can’t do basic math, but they still get a diploma. Why do work for the same result?

This isn’t helped by the fact that in many school districts it isn’t possible to hold a child back. We literally have students entering high school that haven’t done anything since 3rd grade but have been advanced to the next grade anyways. Then we get surprised Pikachu face when they can’t do the things they need to graduate.

That actually ignores the whole “make up credit” classes where answers to every question are literally a google search away.

I literally had a student in one of my math classes who pasted a “couldn’t find results for…” as an answer to a homework question because they had mistyped the question.

I’m a teacher. This is very false. The issue is that being taught in schools and being learned in schools are completely different things. Between No Child Left Behind and IDEA, schools are being incentivized to graduate students regardless of the learning done in the school.

I know for a fact that these skills are taught in 6-8th grade social studies classes, as well as digital literacy classes. Hell, I teach 2 classes that are entirely based around critical thinking.

The minute I see anything pop up while watching my Bar Rescue I will be cancelling my subscription

I remember having the light-measured-in-watts discussion years ago when LED lights were still considered a novelty. Of course, this was with a videographer who actually understood the issue. He complained that it wasn’t a good idea to limit car headlights based on their wattage, which is how all the laws at the time were written. 5 years later, suddenly there were LED headlights blinding everyone.

“Business insider”…yea. With quotes from the CEO about how unfair things are.

I worked for a TV station that got bought by Sinclair. I will say this repeatedly and with my whole chest:

Fuck Sinclair. Easily the worst employer I’ve ever had. They are the scummiest of the scummiest media companies. I can accept putting profit over everything, that’s capitalism. They seemed to go out of their way to do things in the least moral way, even if it cost them money. Fuck them. They are the modern face of evil in America.
