It's hard to spend years getting a master's degree and then to go work on a teacher's salary. But then to be a professor, it's another 6-8 years above and beyond a master's to get a PhD (during which you're making jack shit and aren't allowed to work off campus). On top of that, higher ed is apparently ridiculously competitive and an insane amount of thankless long hours for a slightly higher shit salary than high school teachers. The whole culture around and within education needs changing. A lot of changing. It's so disappointing.

How does everyone forget to use the "people will just do it anyway" argument for every other law. When do we legalize all drugs because people just do them anyway
One reason academics are so important. I hope they authorize the strike.
When did this all or nothing way of thinking start in American culture? Has it always been like this and I'm just now noticing it, or is it much more prevalent now because it's a side effect of a lack of critical thinking skills
Obligatory fuck psypost. The most click bait, sensationalized headlines for small sample correlational studies that almost always have a divisive basis, like "democrats are better at x than republicans," or "men are better at x than women" or some shit. I got so sick of seeing it on the front page of reddit every single day because there were ten different subs reposting the same articles.
Everything conservatives write sounds like that sovereign citizen tryhard faux legalese. Like there comes a point where trying to be too eloquent just makes you sound fucking dense.
I hope your generation teaches their kids about politics and how it actually affects lives
Would have been great if the generations before us put any effort into that. Let's not put the blame on some kids who thought it would be funny to vote for the moron, when the majority of far right conservative voters are elderly and believe everything they read on Facebook and Fox news.
But schedules and calendars that go beyond "this has to be done on or by that date or you're fucked" stress me the fuck out.
Totally. They stress me out into overwhelmed, anxiety-riddled inaction, an d I know I'm not the only one
I hope so. You'd have to be crazy to think like that otherwise.
I've never stayed in an Airbnb and I never will, but I've seen these management companies AirBnB-ing out hotel rooms in Vegas at places like the Rio. It's the same price as going through the actual hotel. You still have to pay the resort fees. You still check in at the front desk.
I literally cannot understand wtf that's about.
Because Reagan said it.
