i wish to keep Penuss in the greys but they shared this...

Just leaving this old gem here..

Universities have been steadily increasing the number of classes taught by “part-time” adjunct instructors instead of hiring more tenure-track professors for decades. Yet in that time, tuition has gone up dramatically.

First things first: public and private universities should be up front about where all that tuition money is going. Hint: it’s not to the faculty.

Do you think that the current high cost of a Duke education was because they were paying the teachers too much?

But remember, it’s anti-American to use the power of numbers to force rich people to abide by market forces!

Or something. I struggle to see how unionizing (i.e. a labor force trying to set an equitable level of compensation for their services in the same way that other participants in the market set prices) is…

United we stand, divided we fall.

Thats a dumb take (albeit this is a very stupid situation). Thats like saying anyone born in Puerto Rico or an overseas US base shouldn’t be eligible to play for the US in the olympics.

Yeah, how dare a guy skilled enough to start for France not spend his career on a team ineligible for the World Cup! Jeez, what a traitor.

This is all he can do with French Guiana. And he did it. He helped them earn their best ever finish in the Caribbean Cup, and their first ever berth in the Gold Cup. So yes, I imagine it is quite emotional for him. He deserves this

Not that much crazier than Israel and Kazakhstan being in UEFA or Australia is in AFC, right?

Guyana (formerly British Guyana), French Guiana and Suriname (formerly Dutch Guiana) have much closer political, cultural, historical and demographic ties to the former colonies in the Caribbean Sea than to the formerly Spanish/Portuguese territories to the south and west. Guyana and Suriname are also members of…

So, this guy is ineligible due to FIFA regulations, but French Guiana itself and Martinique, both of which are ineligible to compete in FIFA competitions, are cool?

Except France = FIFA and French Guiana = non pas du tout. Someone of Malouda’s talent doesn’t want to spend their int’l careers playing in the Caribbean Cuppity Cup Cup Cup instead of the World Cup or Euros.

it falls in the Caribbean Football Union, which also includes Suriname and Guyana, both of which are in SA. As to ‘why’, some mix of money and ‘we can’t complete in SA’....but probably money.

I take it the FIFA rules required a large bag with a dollar sign on it, which was not provided by French Guiana.

even if we grant you that the shelter might not know the dog’s true past, how did Lena get the details of 3 owners, 3 names?

Lena Dunham’s goal is to destroy white privilege by using it all up.

I trust no person who says “it’s just a dog” to justify “getting tired of it and moving on.” A person with that attitude rarely lacks empathy and compassion in only that one area.

You also should not have a dog.
