- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 5 days ago:
True. I called a junk hauling agency and they showed up and did the work. There was a tipping option at the end.

They’re just fixing more shit, right?
- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 6 days ago:
Also, there was no successful remediation of this behavior. I worked with him for 5 years and, while he did learn the academics, he never really adjusted well to our society.
- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 6 days ago:
Yep. He was we would be getting the precious metal. This was made very clear by him.

I had a learner on spectrum who physically attacked me for 2 hours because, after our classroom won the ‘Golden Trashcan’ Award for cleanest room, the Golden Trashcan was not real gold.
The only quote I remember from this was him screaming at me while gesturing at the trashcan, “That’s not a thing! That’s not even an animal!”
10/10, would teach again.
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 1 week ago:
I … look at them. There is no actual thinking that occurs. If it is 9:22 then it is 9:22. If it is 9:23 then it is 9:23. I understand your question, but if the trailing side of the minute hand is not yet even with or past the plane of the upcoming minute, then it remains the previous minute.

- Comment on How does one join a terror group? Like example ISIS , do people go to a secret website sign up and get provided flags, bomb parts, or whatever? Or is it just a person saying what they did was for ISIS 2 weeks ago:
My undergraduate degree was in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. Since it was an interdisciplinary degree, the actual content was dependent on my interests and what was available at the university at the time. I studied a lot of American Imperialism Post-9/11, Middle Eastern Politics, and the general foundations of terrorism as a political tool. Add in some Liberation Theology, Economics of the Military Industrial Complex, and a deep dive into the ethics of Just and Unjust Wars, and the end result is that I know a bit about this area. It’s all academic and I would be useless for anything other than soft-target terrorism on a very small scale.

Okay, that was a bad example on my part.

You can’t really volunteer to be a terrorist. You have to know somebody. At some point, that person will bring you in after talking with others in the group. While you may know that someone in your circles is a terrorist, they will not speak with you about it unless they have zero operational security. If they do speak about it, they are an asset, not a terrorist.
Once you are brought in, you are not brought in as a terrorist. You are brought in as a person sympathetic to their cause who is willing to help by completing small tasks. Over time, these tasks become larger, more illegal, and the information that you would know about the network becomes more in depth.
The hard truth is, that unless you are running a cell or the movement, you are never really a terrorist. You are a disposable asset that can be used by terrorists to further their own ends. Sort of in the way that cheering for the Chiefs doesn’t make you a football player. Sure, you have the gear and you know the talking points, you may even inspire others to similar action, but when push comes to shove, you will be cut off without a second thought. This is similar to how many intelligence agencies treat their assets.
If you were to go the lone wolf route and carry out an action in the name of a specific terrorist group, you would still not be a terrorist. You would be someone who was radicalized by the terrorist group.
Finally, no self-respecting terrorist group will refer to themselves as a terrorist group. Their cause is always righteous and those in power have eliminated all acceptable courses to express their grievances.

My grandfather killed a nazi and became a hero. Ms. Sherry does it and she becomes the enemy. That doesn’t seem fair.

Imagine the insurance companies bringing a lawsuit against the sex workers for practicing medicine without a license and then, in the settlement, sex workers become able to bill insurance.
