There’s literally a children’s board game whose whole premise is showing how free market capitalism ends with one person owning everything while everyone else goes bankrupt.

Call me a hater but I think living in a world where both trillionaires and global poverty coexist is a sign humanity has failed as a species
Elon Musk has become the first trillionaire in history.

Anyone else remember when Special K created their own diet and it was basically just eating two bowls of Special K every day and everyone accepted that as medically sound?

Don’t forget the English teachers grading 100 essays with personal feedback and corrections.
When will we acknowledge that not every teacher position is equal in scope and workload, and we should absolutely be paying the science and math teachers more than the PE and Art teachers?

Have you ever stopped to think about how everything used to be created to generate peace of mind and accept those waiting periods?

Dawson’s Creek was an outlier even back then; critics argued it was unrealistic to portray teens with such extensive vocabulary who are so deeply self referential. But if you know ball you get that the show never spoke down to its viewers, which was a huge part of its success.
while we’re on the topic of teen dramas not being how they used to be: i’ve noticed how different the dialogue in older teen dramas are compared to recent teen dramas

You cannot: ​Work full time, raise children, keep a spotless home, show up fully in your marriage, maintain friendships, stay fit, build wealth, read books, pursue hobbies, serve only home cooked meals, answer every email, and still make the 3:30 school pickup. ​That standard was created to keep you exhausted and blaming yourself. Let it go.

I’d argue that once you hit your late 20’s you realize you were practicing adulthood for the last 10 years and it’s not what you really wanted because you probably decided your entire life trajectory before your frontal lobe fully formed and it makes a lot of sense to have the desire to start all over with the knowledge you gained once real adulthood and life experience hit

This is going to be long. Last semester I suspected I had a major issue with use of AI in my survey courses, so I inserted what is known as a trojan horse (not the virus kind) into the directions of a paper assignment. As it turned out, I did in fact have a major problem, and a post on Threads about it accidentally went quasi-viral and ultimately became a Huffington Post article and an NPR interview.

One of my pet peeves is hearing people say, “Schools need to teach finances.” They probably did. You just didn’t pay attention. The same way health class taught you what healthy habits look like, yet people still vape, live off fast food, and drink energy drinks daily.
