Please re-read and fix

Thanks for posting. This highlights a bit better the size.

And only marginal news coverage… remember when a bunch of geriatrics were role playing as revolutionaries and talking about Obama. Billionaire class owns the media and the parties

Boston probably had somewhere around 50k people. Don’t hear the news media talking numbers or even showing the full crowd. Figures.

Unfortunately it seems like the Democratic Party is doing their best to co-opt the movement with messages like votes, fight with the judiciary, and use politics to obstruct. Look I get it’s the right thing for them to say…

But let’s make sure a populist movement pushes the party way to the left like the much much smaller tea party movement did to the right.

Having read Mark Twain’s autobiographical travel log, I love that he himself is a bit of bigot - stereotyping quite a few of those peoples he meets on the way.

Albeit in a fairly human way and with a bit of irony about it. Great writer interesting human.

Amazing!!

My friend, I said I was surprised at the tactics not at the goal.

I’m tuned in to the situation, but appreciate the links

lol 😂

Sounds comfy. Could depend on the spinal support and alignment though. A cot keeps you off uneven ground. FWIW

My man, you need a better bed. I get this whenever I sleep on a shit bed somewhere.

If you’re camping take a cot

Disgusting. There need to be assault charges on the officers and the department needs a overhaul and oversight. Watch the video if you don’t agree

You seem angry :-p

Thanks my dude. I was just asking you an honest question. Appreciate the information

If you’re going to be an apologist for a predator at least understand the situation. It looks like you are arguing just to be contrarian- not a good look in this case, highly insensitive given the type of crime we are discussing.

He did not serve his full eight year sentence. He was transferred back to Holland from England to serve the remainder of his eight year sentence - and was released the same year

So to answer you: No he absolutely did not serve his sentence

Thanks, great read. Appreciate it. That was one example but you mentioned two - are you thinking of some of the broader disinformation applications in addition to the data gathering mentioned?

Please elaborate for the uneducated

Da fuck(?)… Teflon Don is at it again!

If I had done simply one of the many horrible and illegal things Trump has done I’d be right in jail and ostracized by the community.

Meanwhile he’s worshipped by the dumb and evil minded and gets put in positions of power in the government.

At least it gives me more confidence in myself (for not being a scumbag) and zero in the power structure of this country, that serves only to protect the capitalist overlords

Correct.

In Latvia the reason they are even having this discussion is because when USSR were occupiers they suppressed the local language (Latvian) with a brutal police regime, concentration camps, and the forced migration of ethnic Russians.

So yes - exactly. Moscovite Russia/ USSR started a cultural genocide in Latvia. This is just the fallout

I know two teachers personally. This is not the case in my discussions with them and others. Maybe you can enlighten me on what does take 10 hours of time daily?

From speaking them they are absolutely not working from 8:0am - 6:00pm on every day.

Lesson plans are inherited from prior teachers and … yes continuously updated during the year but not at a major time cost every day. Grading takes a few hours for one day either on the weekend or in the evening.

And yes they complain about it constantly… it seems more a cultural thing. They also complain about other teachers complaining 🤣

I’m not touching the issue of summers off because yes that is a different thing, and yes it’s quite hard for them to get real employment.

Again salaries should be higher and support teachers not assuming they can work in the summer… but why conflate this with the daily hours ( which are frankly good as stated by those who I know in the profession as a reason they like and took the job)

Teachers are horrendously underpaid, but they need to stop complaining about the “hours”. It rings disingenuous to most who know the job.

Unless they are taking afterschool roles they work generally 8-3:00 with a potentially a few hours of work after for grading and lesson planning. This is along with numerous holidays / admin days during the school year.

I say this knowing personally a few teachers who complain about hours, and it seems to be a cultural thing not based in their reported real experiences.

The salary is shit, at least for non-senior roles in my state, but that is not a lot of hours relative to the average wage earner.

Why is everyone afraid of college students protesting? I mean this police state response goes back to before Kent State and Tianemen square no doubt.

Well if it’s frightening- keep it up! There must be some form of agency there
