This teacher is just an asshole but the relationship between teachers and students is complex and most of the issues are systemic. In the same way that a retail or food service worker may hate their customers because of how some customers act, it should not be surprising when teachers may come to hate 'students' in the abstract when the students are what cause them the most difficulty on a day to day basis. Now some teachers are able to introspect and understand that the students themselves are not the root cause of these problems.

People outside of education often think teachers have control over their schools and students. However that control is mostly a facade, teachers increasingly feel powerless in their own classrooms as society cuts more and more support positions forcing teachers to pick up the slack. Students with exceptional learning or behavioural needs are left in overcrowded classrooms and obviously this causes problems that are not the fault of these students.

Most teachers are only in the system because they care about the kids. I wouldn't look at the teachers subreddit and expect a real look at how these teachers think. Most (not this guy) are mainly venting and coping using dark humour as the system collapses around them, much like how outsiders are surprised at how medical workers use dark humour to cope.

What the hell is wrong with American elections?? The way I see Americans talk about the New York Mayoral election makes it seem like it's happening next week. But that shit isn't untill November?? Wait until October to start your campaign dawg

It is interesting to see how much more vulnerable top military leaders are in modern conflicts. In past conflicts it seems generals and top command were often kept far away from battlefields to protect them, but that does not work anymore. I wonder how militaries will respond to this, keeping generals confined in bunkers, or spreading out command between more people to prevent a single death being devastating.

Shoulda swallowed a spider to catch the bee smh

IR lasers can cause eye damage without triggering a blink reflex

American cops are so trigger happy if they see a red dot they'll assume it's from a sight and might just start shooting at anything nearby

Xiaomi phones are really cheap and work well as a basic smart phone, unless you're buying it for the camera. If you're in the US you may need to get it drop shipped and I'm not sure how the tariffs would affect it

Yeah, combating spreading desertification is good as it protects the existing ecosystems that surround the desert. But some people have a misguided belief that deserts are useless areas and greening entire deserts would be a net positive. Deserts are an incredibly complex environment, even if we know less about them than areas where we humans live in larger numbers.

We know the Sahara desert is responsible for soil replenishment of Carribbean islands and South America. The knock on effects of removing a desert could be disastrous.

Sekiro is my favorite game that Fromsoft has made. The gameplay is hard but I actually find it easier than the hardest parts of Dark Souls/ Elden Ring because so much is about learning patterns. Outside of one or two bosses they are easier to see and you can track their arm movements so you can tell which attacks are coming. Compared to Elden Ring where bosses are causing so much on screen visual noise that I can't tell what's going on.

The environments in Sekiro are also beautiful. Its less gloomy than Dark Souls so many of the areas are very vibrant. I love spending time in many of the more fantastical areas of the game.

The key evangelical for O9A ... is Joshua Caleb Sutter ... a paid FBI informant since 2004.

I can be ur angle or yuor devil

The theme song for this show has been stuck in my head for over 20 years

Yeah that 'big balls' guy is linked to the Com which 764 is part of

one of the big figures in the ONA group is also a paid FBI informant since 2004

Teen kills parents in attempt to gain funds to assassinate Trump. The teen was linked to the Order of Nine Angels, a neo-nazi/pedophile group originating in the UK. (Huge CW for looking up this group or any related groups for violence, pedophilia, animal cruelty, suicide)

Anyone have any thoughts on ONA or related groups like 764 and terrorgram? They feel very parapolitical to me in a strategy of tension kind of way. They've been linked to multiple terror attacks across Europe and the Americas, oftentimes carried out by people as young as 14. Right wing accelerationism seems to be on an upswing since COVID.

Are we going to get an East and West Syria? One an Israeli proxy, the other a Turkish proxy.

Lmao at tree spiking being considered an act of terrorism

I would post the emoji of the blob on fire, but it'll just end up saying "visit hexbear.net"

Additionally, provinces have announced retaliatory measures:

Nova Scotia will cancel procurement contracts with US based companies, double road tolls for American travellers, and ban sales of American alcohol in provincial stores

British Columbia has announced they will ban sales of alcohol produced in states that voted for Republicans

Canada announces retaliatory tariffs against the USA. Initial tariffs will be 25% of $30 billion as of Tuesday, followed by 25% of $125 billion in three weeks

Part of me thinks these tariffs from the US will remain until the next election and the Cons are elected. Trump will then drop the tariffs and the Cons can take it as a victory and claim they saved Canada

Ric Grenell is returning to the US with six US nationals who were in prison in Venezuela.

Are the mercs who pissed themselves during a coup attempt being freed?
