We're well past identifying the source of the problem. If aliens invaded and everyone was debating how best to fight back, you'd be sitting there saying "Why is nobody blaming the aliens!?" Everyone who would understand that the country is falling into fascism already does. Anyone who doesn't simply hasn't yet admitted that they like fascism.

Yes, fascists exist, and are to blame for a large chunk of the failures of society. Now is the time to figure out who's going to help fight against them in a way that keeps them away for as long as possible, and who's going to claim that they had some good points, setting the stage for their expedited return.

You can't teach if you don't identify where the students are getting things wrong and correct them. It's one of the major reasons why teachers deserve so much more pay. My wife used to be a teacher, and she worked 2-3 hours past the end of school correcting students' work pretty much every weekday, and spent several hours every weekend planning out her lessons for the following week. She got paid significantly less than me working in a basic entry-level 9-5 office position.

My wife and I will sit in the same room for hours and never speak a word to each other. We only talk when we have something to say, and we're both happy with that relationship. My sister thinks we're crazy, but we like it quiet.

There's a reason for those "slower traffic move right" signs. People drive at different speeds - if the people behind want to go faster than the people in front, it's their responsibility to let them pass, so long as there's a safe space in another lane to do so.

Experiencing the constipation, stress, and fatigue commonly associated with a nicotine withdrawal? Try nicotine!

I've never had a problem starting on step 4 and repeating a few times.

I don't even have to pretend I'm not working when I'm in the office. I'm constantly being interrupted by people to the point where I only get maybe 2 hours of good working conditions total throughout the day. I may spend a good amount of my time at home blatantly not working, but even then I'm still getting more work done in a day than trying and failing to work for 8 hours in the office.

My only regret is only being born with 7 fingers to give...

It all makes sense when you realize who makes the cutoff for what they consider "people."

I didn't even think it could mean anything other than that until I started reading the comments. Coming from Trump this certainly reads more like a "finish them!" than a "leave them alone!"

As far as I can tell, the word "boomer" has shifted from "an out-of-touch adult from the baby boomer generation" to "an out-of touch adult."

Correct - forums are a place for people who talk rather than do, because those that do don't have the time to argue online. Though I shit on all evil, regardless of some arbitrary relation to America. I don't rely on American news outlets, I watch the global scene. It's why I understand that America is just as bad as any of the other cartoonishly evil places in the world that people will fall for propaganda to defend.
