I hate that it was needed, but it's beautiful to see a community come together to support something so important.

While I agree, the amount of productivity that's increased since the 5 day work week was established has made it reasonable to once again change the norm. That, or pay workers equivalent to the increase in productivity that has happened. It's all going somewhere.

It shouldn't be unreasonable but it is damn refreshing.

This was my first thought. Teachers definitely need time to assess outside of class time. I would think that assessment or grading would happen while they aren't teaching. There should be a system where teachers grade outside of teaching time or during "homework/study hall" time. You would teach math for 6 hours and grade math for 2 or some breakdown that makes sense. I don't want to make teachers work anymore than they already do. The current system doesn't seem to respect them either way.

It's famously subjective. My highschool taught it and showed how you could push any narrative as long as the evidence was gray. It's almost always gray in these situations.

Honest question, who outside of PA wanted Shapiro? I've heard even PA people say it wasn't a good choice. Not sure if I'm just out of the loop though.

I moved from the south to Minnesota in recent years and will never move back. The winters aren't too bad after the first. Finding a knowledgeable local is pretty easy plus the Internet can fill in the gaps.

I'm pretty familiar with the farming aspect of all of this, but clearly we are way beyond needing children for farming (except for some child labor law changes that I'd like to ignore in this case). To me, it sounds like a legacy issue that was never changed with the times. Just my observation

There was a feature I had on android several years ago where you could limit notification sounds by time. You could pick from 1 to like 10 minutes. The first one would ping you and the rest for that timeframe would be silent notifications until the timeframe ended and treated the next one like normal.

Edit: still a feature on the texting app I use, Textra. I like their features so much I paid for it and keep reverting back when trying stock or anything else. I'm sure there's some big flaw I don't know about since it's an old SMS app though.

No, it's harsh but fair. Despicable view of the world from the water company.

Even if his argument was in any way accurate, that flag clearly does not currently mean what he's defending. I grew up in the south, went to college in the south, etc... If you want southern pride all over the place (I don't see why you would be proud of that with how awful it's going) then just fly your state flag. Certain parts have beautiful nature and culture that is absolutely great. The stars and bars have nothing to do with it. It's not even accurate as a Confederate flag. A swastica on a flag is so outside of this "southern flag" idea that it should mean an immediate investigation of the people flying it.

I very much enjoy sports but I don't think education and preparation should be displaced by playing a game for entertainment. School is for learning. Maybe there should be a trade school for sports that happens later or is auxillary to normal education.

I'd argue that it sacrifices the safety of any other car that's smaller than it too, with sudans being the most vulnerable. No way a bumper difference of feet allows for the smaller car's safety features to work as intended if not bypassed entirely.

Yes exactly. What's the root cause? The good info is gone. Why is the good info gone? The people making it were pushed beyond their limits. Why were they pushed to far? Spez wants to make reddit publicly profitable (sure that's not crazy by itself). Now we split up the next level. Either he wants reddit to live on foreverish and be self sustained or he wants to go public and dip the hell out of there. Going public is clearly bad when it is entirely valuable based on voluntary work and user based content. Fuck over all of the value and it's not about keeping reddit alive foreverish, it's about going public and fucking off. Whoever gets stuck with the bag when corporate dips is screwed.

With how sketchy the history of reddits CEO is, I would absolutely believe that they were astroturfing their own site. It's all about going public and getting that money. I hope it's a huge flop.

I tried Jerboa first and now I'm on connect. I like them both but I think I'll stick with connect. It might be worth a look.

I'm not really a basketball fan, but her talent/record breaking career was enough for me to follow the game at the restaurant I just happened to be attending. If I'm not the target audience and I'm pulled in, I think there's a solid chance the same pull was much stronger for BBall fans who otherwise wouldn't have cared about this specific game.

The IPO falling off a metaphorical cliff with spez left holding the bag would be a nice gift after all this garbage

As a straight, I agree. I think my partner and I are okay. A good reality check periodically won't hurt us though.

Capitalism is bad because it creates incentives for greed to people who do are not contributing. Greed is never good, but it's especially bad when you use real work to justify why people do nothing to give them crazy amounts of money.
