If you’re going to have kids, do not send them to public schools even after this ruling. No doubt schools won’t make policies and will still treat students like shit. Couldn’t imagine if I was forced to read Maus knowing what I know now lmao

Sadly it's not a matter of if, but when a school district will try to circumvent the ruling.

So strange how the international representatives of the Mice announced an informal war against Germany before the start of the story.

Today's still a win, even if some of it may have mixed results. The big dubs are on muzzies scoring a win over fags and district courts no longer in charge. The porn ID laws sound good on paper, but I'd have to see how it works in practice. Australia's trying something similar with a social media ban and I get the feeling it's just gonna be a precursor to a Social Credit system. It depends on how it's enforced. Still, I see this as a good day despite those lingering questions.

Yeah no this^ not going to power level but I'm probably older than many of you, and the new waves of hires hitting the workforce currently know jack and fucking shit about basic computer operation, they're clearly not teaching anything about computer basics in school. You have to basically start at EILI5 with them and go from there, regardless of how many fucking degrees or certificates they have.

I'm an old fuck and back in the day when I was bright eyed and bushy tailed and climbing the ladder, it was the same but from a different angle: you had a bunch of greatest gen/boomers/gen xer's who struggled with tech to varying degrees depending on their education that you had to wrangle until they were good enough to leave alone, and the millennials were starting to grow up and entering and taking over year by year so the main corpo opinion from the top was "well as these dinosaurs age and retire out teaching new hires the ropes tech wise will get easier and easier so no big deal we don't need to refurbish or beef up our internal training, the modern era will have done it all for us no big deal calm down" and lol, lmao even.

It was really just the savvy boomers and gen x people and the early millennials who understood anything computer wise and only needed varying levels of having their rough edges smoothed off (and even with silent gen or boomers you could teach them, they weren't retards).

Once the zoomers and now alphas started showing up, they were even more clueless as the old dinosaurs back in the day, I'd say by huge factor. They're fucking nearly worthless, and even when they are vaguely salvageable, they waste so much time bitching and whining about their feelings and what is or isn't fair that two thirds of your time coaching/training them is just jerking them off so they calm down and get back to fucking work.

I'd much rather have a pool of boomer grandmas to teach basic OS shit to, than half a pool of whiny kids bitching about their mentals and feelings constantly distracting me from teaching them how to fill out a time card or log into their remote desktop then email then chat.

Unironically asking if they play PC games is a good interview question for at least knows how to use a computer.

Refusing to buy cheese from the cats isn't a war, especially when the fish who called it a war were editorializing for shock value

knock yourself out looking for those programs but 1) the most populous states do not have them, these are programs primarily in rural states 2) they are nothing compared to SNAP, medical care, daycare subsidies, sec 8

Yeah, it's much less than those programs, but that's because those programs give WAY more than they should to WAY more people than they should. I even said in my post that it's not available in all states, but IF you live in a state where it's available you should be taking advantage of it. I didn't know about it until maybe a year ago and it was available in a state that my relatives live in for several years - that's why I'm telling people now so they know about it. In fact I wouldn't have heard about it if a friend hadn't given me the heads up, that's why I'm even bothering to mention it in the first place.

Your argument boils down to "well all these other shitty programs give way more money so why even bother." That's fucking retarded. There are absolutely people who leech off the welfare system and everyone knows it, but this is one program that's limited in scope and directly benefits people who give enough of a shit to send their kid to a good school OR homeschool the kids themselves. Which means it typically doesn't benefit worthless pieces of shit who steal tax money to buy menthols and soda which is exactly what you're describing. This is perhaps one of the only cases where government subsidies could go to a worthwhile cause and you're bitching about it.

Republican candidate for NYC mayor, Curtis Sliwa, said he would join forces with Eric Adams if it was the only way to stop Zohran Mamdani from winning the mayoral election.

Siwa attributes Mamdani's mayoral win in the democratic primary to strong support from wealthy, educated white Gen Z and millennial voters in affluent NYC neighborhoods.

thumbnail your shit

regime change in israel is a joke. who are you going to replace bibi with? Lapid is a retard, Bennet is a bigger hawk than Bibi, Gallant is a hawk, Gantz can't even hold his own party together, Smotrich/Ben Gvir are extremist hawks

this is something that sounds radical and smart to people who don't know anything about Israel, Netanyahu is the most moderate and patient player in Israel which is why he endured people calling him a pussy for 13 years for not striking Iran only to hit iran at the exact right moment

The israeli people will welcome us as liberators, and they will embrace liberal secular democracy. They cant be allowed to have nuclear wessels or an enrichment program. We will turn Eilat into trump plaza and casino. Or is that too on the nose?

I like the cut of this man's gib. I hope he pulls a miracle and wins.

I dunno man I'm very skeptical that there is effective conversion therapy. If there were, there are a lot of religious groups who would use it.

They do. Do you actually believe in today's climate they'd be boasting openly about it? They'd rather save their own children and families than risk outrage mobs constantly fucking with their genuine efforts to fix the problem.

Sadly it's not a matter of if, but when a school district will try to circumvent the ruling.

I took an AP lit course as a senior and I jokingly threw down my copy of Candide that had the nude illustrations in it and said it was filth and I wouldn't read it, and my old lesbian teacher was like alright I guess you don't read it then and confiscated my copy. I thought it was an interesting political interaction even though this was before most of the lgbt movement really kicked off. We both knew I wasn't serious so she still expected me to complete the assignment.

 

[Historical Strelkov]

The thing about zoomers is they fit perfectly into the modern technocratic mold. They are vibes based so they will just do whatever they are told. Their autonomy or lack of independence is only maddening from our perspective. Its very useful that they are end users and not louis rossman.

 

[oh no its pipkun]

This is your mind on porn. First they came for the porn. And I didn't speak up. Now they came for the Kiwi Fruit Fourm. It's ridiculous. And we would fight in court retard.

this isn't greee its the various governments of the us. and scotus already dropped the fair use case null brought. how does KF win this lawsuit?

calm down

the discussion is about the elimination of the middle class

if you have more than one kid, either you earn higher than a middle class income, or you are massively subsidized.

those subsidies allow for giant corporate employers to continue to depress wages.

the anger this board consistenly has at some kind of giant population of welfare cheats is due to people who piss you off when you buy your tendies at the piggly wiggly and it needs to be redirected. it is not based in the reality of who actually gets gibs. most welfare benefits, including subsidized health care, go to either retired people or to working parents. if you eliminate health care, it's mostly going to working parents.

you cannot get gibs without having a job unless you are disabled. that is a small proportion of the total population receiving gibs, no matter how large their ass is when it's in your way at the store.

everyone who is working at every place where you're annoyed by welfare cheats? if they have kids, they get gibs.
