Both my parents were teachers (as well as a few uncles, great aunts and grandparents) and I always swore I wouldn’t go into the profession cause it looked too tough. The job follows you long after you’ve left the classroom. You’re not just teaching kids but disciplining them, dealing with whatever emotional/personal…

“You precious little snowflake.”
Yes omg you’re right the suits look like they have shoulder pads, very Dynasty!
You really need to do some research on this. Seriously, not trying to give you a hard time, but what the other posters are saying is pretty accurate.

“if you can’t even get faintly analytical about the theme of Just Like a Woman, you probably shouldn’t just be commenting on poetry.”
You’re a bloke right? Amirite? I am.
“People are angrier than I imagined”
I read your comment first as “a trolling stone may gather no moss”.
“You fell for Dylan’s shtick and want your musical taste validated.”
Well, I suppose the distinction I’m making does insist on the presence of carbon atoms for self awareness but that doesn’t make them the source. Most organic material is not conscious. A person in a vegetative state is not conscious, has no experiential aspect to their existence. If consciousness transpired to be an…
