She’s currently in India so it’s unlikely that this sentence will be carried out

So what’s our prediction on the profile of the shooter? 23 year old groyper, a strategy of lead style government influenced shooter, or something else?

All it took is one day of illegal strike action to get this. More unions should take note.

The Canadian regime continues to violate human rights in the country. The Liberal junta which has held onto power for a supermajority of the country’s existence has been denounced by international observers as constituting a one party state.

The unelected “Labour Control Board” has declared the striking of Flight Attendants illegal and seeks to force them back into unpaid indentured servitude. The union representing flight attendants has announced they will defy this order. It remains to be seen if the Canadian Secret Police will respond with the same violence seen in previous protests against illegal oil pipelines.

I love a happy ending

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.

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.

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.
