And THAT’S when it peaked. It’s been downhill ever since.

I feel like I’m shilling, but I also realize that it may not work for everyone - khanacademy.org is built to do just that. It’s best if a teacher is available for when a student gets stuck, but otherwise it is self-paced so anything a student already knows can go by fast. The concept is that instead of giving lectures…

At this point there isn’t any reason for someone to not get vaccinated. I know I know, transportation can be difficult, but for fucks sake some work has to be done to get it and simply not getting it isn’t a responsible option. Here in Houston, 99.75% of all new covid deaths are coming from unvaccinated people, and at…

No, the school is severing ties with the parents who are paying it. They are firing their customer.

I used to work at a company with a guy who regularly came in at 6 a.m. (for an ordinary office job) so he could leave for a sports club commitment - which meant he stayed until 5 p.m. most days. And of course management was snippy about it, because even though they knew this guy was in before everyone and put in…

If you live in 1939 Poland, you don’t name your store ‘Jew Hiding Spot’. Theddaeus Stevens didn’t nail a sign to his house that said, ‘Underground Railroad’. Recently, women in China have had to change their MeToo pages to the characters for Rice/Bunny which spell “mi” “tu” just to get around censorship.

This insistence on time = productivity has just led to a culture where everyone comes in early and stays late, but only accomplishes like, 5 hours of work. It’s dumb. I’d rather just come in, work my ass off without breaks until the work is done, then go home.

Literally nothing prevents a company from implementing a policy that employees can take Fridays off during slow periods without it being counted as ‘vacation days’.

Right? The dress codes for women and girls come from the Christian right, especially the Mormons, the Baptists, and the Evangelicals.

I think this puts the blame on the wrong problem. Unlimited vacation days, on their own, are a good and correct thing. I mean, if business is slow and you’re getting all your work done, why *shouldn’t* you be able to, say, take off every Friday June - August?

Most companies I know of won’t let you bank more than 5 days.

On Amber Ruffin’s show, there’s a segment called That’s What Yo Ass Gets. This qualifies. A perfect example of a big mouth writing a check his paper sack ass couldn’t cash.

Lifting the ban was never an option and nobody involved was pushing for it. Belive it or not, AOC has very little real power. But USATF had the option to add her to the 4x100 relay which begins after her suspension is over and chose not to. That's not getting any attention here, but it is far worse and absolutely…

Meanwhile, two Namibian sprinters, Beatrice Masilingi and Christine Mboma, have been deemed ineligible to compete in the Olympics because their natural testosterone levels are too high.

Regardless of the intention of the writer, Meghan McCain used her father’s CONSTANTLY, as if it was a tic. Instead of standing on her own two feet, she reverted to invoking his name and trying to say what she felt he would’ve said or felt time and time again, far beyond the point of ridiculousness. She truly disrespect…

Hi Meghan!

“also, for the being forced to take her meds? yeah, common amongst those mentally ill.”

Maybe Wendy would stop getting scalped like this twice a week if she could just mind her own goddamn business. 

““Based on current animal and human studies as well as on interviews with athletes and information from the field, cannabis can be performance enhancing for some athletes and sports disciplines.””

(draws deep breath)

What kills me about the whole, “We have to respect process even if the person is a monster” argument is, prosecutors do this kind of shit to low-level drug offenders ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Those people never get let out of prison on a technicality. The ONE TIME they say, “We tricked him into giving up his Fifth…
