But didn't Joe Biden himself say that Zdravko Mamić is a highly successful manager and offered him a handshake? And Ed Koch is just a product of the Democratic Party—honestly, he almost took over the party entirely, and if you look at how Bernard keeps things running in Washington, D.C., he basically still leads them today. So, when it comes down to it, both sides are pretty much the same...
Enjoy the downtime while it lasts, because it's a long season.
I generally have little patience for those who whine about everything being broken yet refuse to actually vote—but between these two candidates, there truly isn't another option. Or, one could simply spoil the ballot.
In case anyone missed it—yet again—we just witnessed another election where the Republican Party and the Democratic Party walked away with the lion's share of the votes. Is anyone actually surprised? 🙏 ☕
I was watching some political talk show recently—can't recall the network, maybe CNN or something similar—hosted by a woman with short hair. Honestly, who exactly is entitled to a vote these days? 🤣 Maybe we should implement a psychological evaluation before anyone even thinks about stepping foot on the ballot? Just a thought—but wouldn't that be more sensible?
Oh, it was that Democracy on Blue TV show. 😍 (The color choice wasn't exactly accidental, if you catch my drift).
It’s almost fun to watch just to laugh at the absurdity, though I usually end up feeling pretty cynical about the whole thing. 🤣
Elizabeth Mendoza said:It’s just so typical of a believer like you. You’re constantly lecturing everyone else and calling people out in every single thread you start.
I mean, if that's how it works, then why don't believers just take June 22nd off too? (Assuming May 1st is already a Federal holiday, obviously). I guess they just prefer to tack it onto the weekend every single year instead... 😳
Seriously though, why is Santa Claus perfectly fine with everyone, but a Jack o' Lantern isn't?
Paul Martinez73 said:Just walk me through how you concluded she’s trying to form a coherent economic left wing. Based on which specific answer from tonight? The fact that she’s proud to be an Antifascist (even if she probably wasn't even born yet?), or when she brought up what Skoro said about Mercepa, which clearly shows she's totally bogged down in leftist political maneuvering.
Because around here, you can't claim to be an economic leftist while still loving this country without being labeled a Yugo-nostalgic. So, please, enlighten me—what part of her debate actually won you over? I mean, that "economic program" you keep mentioning. Since I didn't see it myself, and you've been grinding for days trying to prove how much of a leftist you are... fine, we get it, you've made your point. 😍 Try to keep it simple next time, because if you don't back up your post with actual arguments, you're just going to lose whatever credibility you had left after cheering for Real Madrid. ☕
I mean, anyone under 75 was actually born during the era of antifascism.😳
Honestly, this Babić guy is just such a bore and a total interloper... I mean, you can't even laugh at him, nor can you actually take a single thought he says seriously🤦
I don't know who this shosho person is, but honestly? Probably just another loudmouth looking for attention. Typical. kaže: The biggest scam of all is pretending that the new Star Wars stuff isn't actually worse than the originals. Let’s be real: Star Wars has always been total garbage. Now, we're just watching the same recycled trash being served up to us a hundred times over.
Look, this guy seriously needs to dig himself out of this hole and just sign the damn thing already. 👍
Look, it’s not exactly a walk in the park, alright? Writing a prep that actually hits the mark—something high-quality and genuinely engaging—is a massive grind. It's way harder than people give it credit for, which brings me to my next point.
Don’t even get me started on how many people in every single office building around here are basically just coasting through their shifts without doing a lick of actual work. It’s honestly pathetic. You’ve got this huge group of people who are just dead weight, and then you have a tiny handful who actually grind and deserve a massive raise for pulling the weight. But most of them? They're just mid. Just average. It’s the same story whether you're at a tech firm in Seattle or a warehouse in Chicago—most people are just checking boxes until the clock runs out.
The real issue here is that the Education Department basically gets everyone who scraped by with decent grades in high school. It’s totally predictable, honestly. I mean, let’s be real—the straight-A kids aren't exactly lining up to major in Teaching or Journalism. They’re all aiming for the big leagues like MIT, Johns Hopkins, or heading straight into med school.
Look, anyone could probably write a better breakdown than me on why it’s such a massive issue when 99% of the people in teacher training programs are women—and why you immediately hear that condescending "Who's your teacher?" crap the second a guy walks into a classroom. But honestly? I don't even want to get dragged into that mess. Not worth the headache. 😬
It’s mostly an 8 to 4 grind.
Vacations, a solid month off, seminars, workshops, holidays... you know, all that stuff.
People love to say teacher hours run from 8 to 4, but honestly? That’s a total joke. It's way more like 7 to 7 if you're being real about it. It all depends on what you’ve got lined up for the next day, too. You might end up losing the whole night to it.
Look, I won’t even get started on how much of a mental drain working with kids is. It’s exhausting. But honestly? Dealing with the parents is ten times worse. If you ask me, they should be getting extra holidays and more paid time off just for having to deal with these idiots. You’ve got thirty kids in a classroom, right? Well, you’ve also got sixty parents out there—and I swear to God, you might find five sane people in that entire group. That's it. Five. 🙏
Look, I’m probably not gonna be objective here. I’ve got a bit of an insider's perspective on this whole thing, so I'm always gonna take the teachers' side—especially when it comes to the elementary school crowd. 😬
Elizabeth Mendoza said:It’s honestly pathetic how many phones are shoved in the air these days. We really need to ban them at concerts. Seriously, almost everyone from start to finish today had their phone up, recording everything just so they could flex on social media.
It’s... well, it's a tragedy of its own kind, I suppose. I don't know at what point in my life it would ever occur to me to pull out a phone during a concert or a big game... maybe I just don't get it.🙏
Did you show up to the event to record it, or to actually experience it?🤷
The issue isn't really about the band, Brene, per se... it’s more about trying to cram twice the capacity into Madison Square Garden🙏
But whatever, I suppose. It’s mostly just kids born in the blink of an eye this century anyway. Besides, they wouldn't have even been there if it weren't for all those dive bars playing this stuff constantly (and elsewhere, too).👍
