Why don't schools simulate a typical 9 to 5 work week for students and remove homework entirely?
  • Not even just income, health insurance and future job prospects as well 🙃

    I have the money to quit and wander the world for a year or two, but I would be abandoning my health insurance and it would be a huge black mark on my resume assuming I didn't concoct some lie to cover it.

    If you work a 9-5 in America like I do, you are tied to your labor in much the same way serfs were, you are just better compensated and can switch masters if you find someone to take you on

    stop asking for a karma system
  • All comment karma tells you is who was first to a thread basically in my experience, and I had over 500k of it lol it's nothing though I could go troll for days before making a dent in the 10k you get from an obvious joke on the new tab and then the thread takes off

    Best way to tell if someone is a troll is just to look at what they say imo 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • It's nice to reflect on how as a little kid I went and saw episodes 2 and 3 in theaters and thought the Jedi were so freaking cool man - then coming back to the series 20 years later having developed politics and realize the Jedi are pretty blatantly a corrupt, listless, doomed-by-its-own-inadequacy organization starting at the top.

    Palpatine/fascism are the bad guys but the Jedi are certainly not the good guys, in a way that went ten miles over my head at the time lol. These movies deserve more credit imo

  • Is that the one who has seven wives or whatever even though that's supposed to be not allowed?

    You can see him struggling with the "they touch you, but not the other way around" rule 😅

    Hollywood Shuts Down After 160,000 Actors Walk Off the Set
  • What's it going to take to do something about these ultra rich assholes

    Let's be honest the only answer is [redacted], they effectively own the government in the US and it's not much better in Europe

    I couldn't resist
  • The amount of people who believe themselves and their interests safe from the totalizing influence of these companies really breaks my mind.

    Threads when isolated from this community: STILL NOT GOOD

    How can we keep the fediverse federated?
  • Defederating is something at least. But in reality like all societal problems stemming from late stage capitalism, the only true answers are extremely illegal
