Oh yeah, it should go without saying, attacking teachers is wrong, counterproductive and unjustified no matter how good or bad they are at their job. That being said, underpaid, overworked, unmotivated and underqualified teachers have a higher likelihood to have students just itching for a chance to unload all their frustrations. It’s just unsurprising is all I wanted to say.
Saying it’s right and saying it’s not surprising are two entirely different things.
At what point did I say that attacking teachers is justified? I said wanting well paid teachers and hating cheap teachers can coexist and aren’t “suspicious” as the OP comment implied.
Nestle doing nestle shit, more at 11
Low salaries for teachers mean that they don’t attract dedicated professionals and the quality of teaching is bad. You can want well paid, good teachers and simultaneously hate the bad teachers you have right now. And of course each time there’s widespread protests, you’ll get a small amount of people who are only there for the violence.
I had fentanyl administered by a professional once and I didn’t feel good, I just lost consciousness within some three seconds. Probably the matter of right dose.
On the other hand, death penalty supporters probably wouldn’t want to take chances with the three seconds window.
Shhh, he cannot know
Aside of all that, they were also poisoning babies in Eastern Europe as recently as 16 years ago. Their Gerber brand of baby food had two tiers of meat products for babies as young as 6 m.o… The ones sold in Western Europe were 100% meat. Identical looking jars manufactured for Eastern Europe had only 50% meat. The rest was indigestible for babies “mechanically separated meat”, which is industry term for whatever’s left after thinly minced bones, feathers and claws are forced through a sieve. Babies don’t produce enzymes necessary to digest any of that. They eat very little, so nutritionally empty “food” isn’t something that can be easily compensated for, and it impacts their development. Oh, and before anyone brings up the economical differences between Eastern and Western Europe: the better quality foods made for western markets were on average sold slightly cheaper than their Eastern counterparts.
Explaining it all with pure greed is actually generous. Because it also fits a pattern of neocolonialism and a concerted effort to make Eastern Europeans slightly weaker, dumber and easier to exploit. Even greedy people would usually stop short of actually poisoning babies, right? It wasn’t a mistake or a manufacturing error. Labels were printed with the ingredients listed (however misleading, because “mechanically separated meat” contains little to no meat at all). It was a deliberate choice, made by well informed people. But also merely a blip on a long list of their crimes.
If the closure of the straits leads to the end of Trump’s plans
Oh, absolutely, I’m just not sure it will. On one hand, his constituents could see him as ineffective and withdraw their support, but previous experience tells us this is unlikely. On the other hand, economical hardships historically tend to increase support for the far right. And while the military needs fuel, there is no realistic scenario in which the US cannot source enough to continue the war.
I’ve never even been to the US but go off 😂
Russia already brings Africans to fight for them in Ukraine. What makes you think anyone stays out of it if shit actually starts going down?
If we all suffer, it’s bad. Even if you want the US to suffer, which is understandable, it’s still bad if the rest of the world suffers too.
I lived semi-comfortably for over a year in a 29m² apartament with my spouse and our small child. I see no reason why 40m² couldn’t be a permanent solution for singles and child-free couples. Depending on structural durability (can they be stacked? Maybe if we add a steel frame?) we could build apartament complexes which would further extend the user pool. You don’t need a lot of space inside the house if you have a well stocked library and community workshop around the corner. Add some playgrounds and you can house young families. Heck, join two modules together and you got space enough for a 2+2 family for a lifetime.
The only real problems I see is we don’t know the energy efficiency of the unit and how the cost compares to traditional building methods. If it isn’t much cheaper the downsides (fixed size, lack of steady supply etc.) will kill it.
I loved everything about the movie except Kirsten Dunst. I have nothing against her personally, but in this movie she looked like she was just reciting lines, no acting involved. I know she was supposed to be this tired, jaded character but to me she overdid it and landed on plain boring.
Are you sure? It’s still visible to me.
A lot of well meaning people try to bring attention to the disproportionate violence against lgbtq people by highlighting every case where an lgbtq person is a victim of a crime. I think this is the wrong approach because
But then again when you see this kind of news and your first instinct is to discuss the importance of the victim being transgender, you don’t come across as well meaning, so that’s probably why you’re being downvoted to hell
This sort of thinking makes doing nothing the only winning move. Can we just be happy for a minute?
It has everything to do with it. I live in a country that made greenwashing a lifestyle: Finland. Every shop around here advertises how responsible they are with their business. Meanwhile, the quality is often worse than that of brands derided as “fast fashion”. Marimekko* made national headlines some time ago when they licensed a pattern to IKEA, and the IKEA product turned out to be much better quality for a fraction of the price.
It’s very important to target fast and ultrafast fashion, and I’m glad France starts with influencers. The next step should be quality norms. Otherwise, you’re just pricing poor people out, while consumer behaviours and environmental impact stay the same, and owners of established brands get exponentially richer.
Navalny and Prigozhin immediately come to mind.
