Schools have too many days off, can cause learning loss and stress.
  • This isn't really true in rural communities. However, this imo is a bigger economy issue than it is an education issue. Truth is that kids as young as 11 and 12 are routinely hired for work in communities like these for the extra income they bring home to their families. Even farm kids on successful farms generally test or drop out of high-school even today. It's just not worth it to spend all day in class when you can be making real money running the farm. And industrialized farms still need as many hands as they can get. What we need to do is take the profit out of basic food stuffs and subsidize it entirely as the basic necessity it is. Same with water and housing. There is no reason to squeeze every drop profit you can out of a venture except greed.

  • Was considering recording my AMA vid today...couldn't do it.
  • Tech companies don't hire people who know their stuff. Tech companies pay contractors who know their stuff to do the things their trained employees can't. They arent looking for a full cup. They need new meat to exploit while it's still too dumb to realize how hard it's getting shafted and then to dump it before it makes itself irreplaceable.

    It also doesn't sound as much like you're looking for engagement as you are employment ("people with money don't pay attention to me"). If money is the end goal, you want to do advertising, not just engagement. If engagement and community are what you truly want, then I'm afraid to tell you those things generally cost money instead of generating it.

    Contracting work would be the best case of having your cake and eating it too. Contractors form their own communities wherever they go depending on the trades in question. I think you'll find the network of likeminded individuals you're looking for there. However, be advised that contracting is regulation heavy and would greatly benefit from a few focused law courses before really trying to get yourself into bidding jobs.

  • I had an employer try this on me too. I beat the claim in court by pointing out that people who quit don't tend to bother showing up on time and ready to work at their next shift. Judge agreed with me. Shortly after I was offered about 80% of my claim as a settlement with the understanding that the taxes on the settlement would be paid by the company. Pretty good deal when I didn't even have a lawyer ngl

  • I don't need to wonder. I hear "I'm a conservative" and I already know you're a waste of oxygen and carbon. Literally rocks from the ground are more useful and productive to society at large.

  • Judge dismisses all charges against police officer Mark Dial in shooting of Eddie Irizarry
  • Absolute immunity needs to go. Judicial reform will never stick unless these clowns get some skin in the game. Every unjustifiable decision in a court room throws back half the time the judge was ruling on. Fuck up a murder trial? That's 10 years without parole mfr

  • House GOP leaders sending members home for the week amid deep divisions and looming shutdown
  • Government employee here. It'll actually be the 3rd. We work our shifts for the first 72 hrs after the shutdown and then we go home. We do get back pay for all the hours we would have worked after the budget is approved, so that's nice. The service guys just have to keep working with no pay.

  • Looking for comeuppance heavy series

    Loved the Embers of Illeniel series and I'm really digging where Phil Tucker's Immortal Great Souls series is going, and I'm looking for more. I like the progression elements of a weak/underpowered MC growing into a powerhouse over the course of the story, and I REALLY like said powerhouse using that strength to pay back everyone who deserves it. Looking for longer form stuff, and trolling through royal road and scribblehub just isn't scratching that itch.

    New guy to flashlights looking for recommendations

    I'm a welder by trade, and I often use flashlights to inspect my work. I've used a bunch of Maglite solitaires for a while, but I'm getting a little tired of how fast they gunk up or burn out. Turns out, welding work is ROUGH on flashlights, especially if you keep using them through grinding and polishing. What I'm looking for is a small, very durable flashlight. Preferably under 1" in diameter, between 3 and 5 inches long, and very durable with regards to heat and abrasive, conductive dust. Ideally, I'd like something usb-c rechargeable, but without some kind of dust flap for the port I don't see how that's possible. The other problem I tend to have with the maglites is that I end up melting the plastic cover over the bulb. That let's in dust, burning out the element. The front cover would probably need to be something other than plastic. Replacing the solitaires isn't the worst thing in the world, but it's a pain in my ass to forget to buy more and end up burning out the last one when I need it. I don't need anything particularly bright, just indestructible.
