    just having a bouncer at the door reduces the number of minors significantly. Same way a sticker saying “this area is monitored” will reduce crime in the area, even if no camera is in sight.

    should a bouncer actually check people’s IDs? yeah, that’d be nice. but a bouncer that just stands there and does fuck all is much better than no bouncer at all



  • so this obviously isn’t a real worksheet but,

    it annoys me how people seem to think that children are stupid, or incapable of picking up or understanding vocabulary that is all around them. simplyfing a concept doesn’t always result in a simpler concept, quite often it just becomes incoherent and meaningless. if a child can read (or is learning to read) then they understand the concept of “decoration”, hell, throw “baubles” at them, if they ask “what’s this?” just explain, it’s the perfect exercise for that kind of thing, tell them what it is, and then watch them engage with the idea for the next 10-15min as they doodle









  • do you think workers got rights by asking nicely?

    if factories didn’t get set on fire with the owner inside people would still be breaking their backs working 16h a day in conditions that shorten their lives by a year every month spent working, every day going deeper in dept to the company store. Oh and they asked for better conditions, they protested, they demanded, they went on strikes, but there was no way out.

    violance isn’t the answer - violance is what happens when you take away someon’s hope. And this is not a new relevation:

    Sun Tzu said ‘When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard’

    because a desperate, hopeless foe will fight to the death
