I agree there is sexism, but were you on Reddit for those first few years? This place is a Disney movie compared to how Reddit used to be.

I hope not. My mother would beat me with whatever she could grab and once cut up all my socks because I pull them up too far.

Yeah, was about to say my mom would beat me with kitchen utensils until they broke for eating her crackers. My daughters just kind of hug me and say “it’s ok, dad”.

For starting pay? The teachers on every district around me make 75k+ a year once they finish five years and get their required master’s. When they get their masters +40 looking at low six figures.

I don’t even live in a big city. People need to look at the entire pay scale and not just that first year.

Taxi drivers and Uber was a legitimate issue. Taxis had long been required to buy medallions that were hundreds of thousands of dollars to operate. Uber does the exact same thing and is not required to do the same? Total bullshit.

“Rideshare”. It’s just taxi service by another name. Same rules for everyone, but then suddenly Uber and Lyft would collapse because Taxi services have always been the better option.

Musk the Fuck doesn’t even have an engineering degree and was never accepted into any PhD program. Lying piece of shit copies some code out of an early 80’s magazine and thinks he is a programmer and got his degree after a donation from daddy.

I repeatedly see loser here, and other places online, defend his dipshit ass. People keep falling for rich tech bro bullshit and still do.

Depends on the district. Most public school teachers in blue states and suburbs make a decent living.

It’s the publishing company, not the game devs or writers. They are not the creative ones, just some MBA stooges.

That is what everyone is missing these are the publisher MBA people. They bring no value, it’s not like they are game devs and story writers.

Yep. My parents let me know why a burden my existence was at all possible times. They would leave me and my brother home alone (aged 8 and 5) after until bedtime. I have no idea what they were doing because work ended three hours ago. We lived off ritz crackers and easy to make food.

The teachers would tell us to shut up and be grateful we had a home when we talked about being hungry. Back in the 80’s you didn’t get free/reduced lunches. You were just a kid who forgot their lunch money for the 100th day in a row because you are a stupid piece of shit.

The 80’s were wild. No idea how Boomers got away with so much child abuse.

I have some kids and it’s incredibly bittersweet listening to them talk about the little art and music they create. They talk about painting pictures and making songs, being able to live in a nice house while doing that for a living.

Nope, have to be STEM, a nurse, a teacher, or learn a trade, kiddo. All those other degrees are fucking worthless and won’t get you a decent job.

Look for certified in home daycare. Lots of GenX grandmas taking care of kids, and if you find a licensed one it’s a pretty good setup. The one I use is $100/day.

And not even cool ones like Shredder or Mummra. They are all the stupid henchmen that get tricked into letting the heroes in the door with a “the boss said we could come in”

“Hmm, share on Facebook? Don’t mind if I do!”

Had an army buddy get locked up. He knew he was guilty, fell in with the wrong people after separating. (1%er bikers)

He finished 14 years and got out, then contacted me. I asked him why he never called or wrote, said how most of the time letters get shredded for “drugs” because they test them and in the process it destroys them - in or out. Letters to and from lawyers are never messed with.

Also told me that often times it is cheaper to call the 1-900 sex lines than it is to call in prison.

You have no understanding of any market outside your own little bubble, and looking at your past comments really enjoy speaking from that vast void of Dunning-Kruger. It’s really pathetic.

This stupid thing just keeps saying “I can Haz Cheeseburger”. What the hell does that even mean?

Not that many of them went to Vietnam. I was deployed twice myself and don’t take it out on my kids. I can see them having more generational trauma from being raised by a collection of parents that were in WW2. Although Boomers are somehow worse parents than the people who taught the Nazis.

The correction to gentle parenting is (my opinion) way too far. Treating kids like coherent individuals that can be reasoned with like an episode of Bluey is ridiculous. Lots of parents around my age tried and failed, then everyone goes off in their corners and latches onto an electronic device.

Fucker has almost reached the Titanic depth in his Oceangate mental submarine.

I am thinking someone took his adderall away to avoid a complete mental collapse.
