Holy shit

This album fucking rocks.

I love this copy pasta. Thanks for letting me read it again

wtf is a right wing anarchist?

When have they ever known to program? That is the point of being a junior.

The world stops without teachers working. Many people rely on them for childcare so that they can go to work. Air traffic controllers are very important. But many orders of magnitude less important for our economy than teachers.

We can discuss abolition of cops some other time, but we aren’t going to see eye to eye on this. They and firefighters are not on the critical path of daily capitalism like teachers though.

The postal service is unable to legally strike. They struck in the 70s (?) illegally and got tons of concessions and no one went to prison for it. Seems like teachers could do something similar. We wouldn’t miss cops and, unfortunately, firefighters also wouldn’t be missed (we still love them, unlike cops).

The best games almost require excel.

I was surprised when you called Tiberius milquetoast. Then I realized I was thinking of Trajan.

Yeah. The dude that came up with the term cognitive dissonance described this process in his book When Prophesy Fails. Basically when you are in a cult and your doomsday ends up being a normal day you have a freak out of cognitive dissonance. This isn’t great because people don’t like having their strongly held beliefs shown to be invalid. So they must come up with a post hoc rationalization as to why their doomsday didn’t come true and why they are still right.

Margaret killjoy has an excellent story featuring a private prison ceo. It is a great end for that guy. Everyone should listen to it.

That’ll get em. Good job showing the dictator your amazing resolve guys. Just the sort of strong backbone I would imagine coming from liberals who wanted to do just a little fascism, as a treat, to appeal to imaginary non fascist republicans.
