Anonymous alcholics don’t tend to have books in my experience.
- Comment on Amazon stopped supporting your Kindle, now what? 5 days ago:
I did when my Kindle broke, and although its awesome to just grab a book off of AA on my mobile browser and immediately be able to open it, the eye strain sucks compared to those old e-ink screens.
- Comment on Teachers deserve more money. 5 days ago:
No, OP doesn’t understand it fully or isn’t describing the process well.
Every year a budget is set that determines the total teacher FTE (full time equivalent). If the number is higher than last year, new teachers will be hired. If it’s lower, it means teachers will be fired.
Teachers are not hired (fired) at the end of school year/beginning of next year. The way it usually works are the principals have a giant bid process kind of like a draft. Teachers that have tenure (usually 5+ years, but depends on district) are guaranteed a seat and get first pick of their preferred school, grade and subject. All of the other teachers then put in the 3 favorite schools and they get assigned based on principals trading them around.
So if the budget changes during COVID, let’s say dramatic spending on technology, it reduces the amount of teacher FTE. That means in some districts, classroom sizes are increased and non tenured teachers are not rehired. But this isn’t true everywhere, it was just a small trend during COVID due to changing budget priorities for that year.

I never did any of that stuff, nor does anyone I know. A minority of, often younger riders, give a bad impression.
You can be as safe as you want but when another car merges into you on the highway, there is nothing you can do other than evasive manuevers and hope that you don’t get killed.
Want to make the roads safe? Actually enforce distracted driving, it’s almost as if not just as dangerous as drunk driving, and we take away licences for that. Retest drivers and riders every 5 years, and every 3 years for anyone over 65.

As a former rider who had a very quite bike and almost got killed by a driver, I totally understand the desire to have a noisy bike. Noisy bikes save lives.

Yeah, the information is broad and entertaining and a place to find concepts to research further, but beyond that you kind of need to take everything with a truckload of salt. Although that’s everything nowadays, everything has an agenda, probably always has.

The takes on this guy on 4chins is funny because it’s clear from the comments none of them have attended a lecture before or advanced beyond the remedial classes they needed to get their HS diploma.
Like yeah, that’s how education works. You take concepts that everybody understands and build upon them to teach new concepts.

I feel like British culture viloates everything but the alcohol. There are memes about how weak their food and criminals are.
- Comment on North America contains some of the longest continuous decididous forest records on the planet. 4 weeks ago:
Weird legal theories. They propose that Congress authorizes spending, but does not impose it. Therefore because Article II Section 3 requires “the President to ensure laws are faithfully executed”, he then controls how the department functions (if it all, apparently) and if there is leftover money it reverts to the Treasury.

- Comment on What’s the difference between anarchy and libertarianism? 5 weeks ago:
I mean game theory kind of dictates that to achieve a system of anarchy you would need to assassinate a lot of powerful actors. Although that seems to be polling high right now.

Sometimes I have this weird theory that RFK Jr is really like a Dr. Zoidberg type alien in a skin suit. He just kind of guesses at how human anatomy works because he isn’t human himself and isn’t professional enough to get a real education on the subject.
- Comment on "Science isn't political!" 1 month ago:
That’s why your sick. You need to constantly be in the sun without sunscreen, look at RFK jr’s healthy glow as a good example of prime health.
If your not feeding your tummy plants with the sunlight it needs your not living healthy.

They didnt vote on it as far as I know. MJ just won’t allow it to be brought for a vote because it would probably pass.
- Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope 1 month ago:
Almost every real world case of weed being laced was from an end user doing it on purpose or it was a simple contamination error.

What kind of dumb argument is that? If you worked from home you could still take a morning and afternoon bike ride. And you could actually go some place new or run an errand.
