Lol. Turns out the Florida book banning session by Desantis was based not on the books or anything in them, but a supplemental worksheet posted online by “Joe” that had clearly been edited poorly to add things like Maya Angelou being sexually abused by her parents to math problems. Not even remotely CRT even by the fake definition the right uses….but enough for Republicans to start book burning.

Actually the math part of it is before the blatantly fake non sequitur word problem, “Y equals X plus two, three X plus six Y equals 12. Angelou was sexually abused by her mother's blank at age eight, which shaped her career choices and motivation for writing.”

That’s the example given by Desantis to excuse the book bannings. It’s a blatant fake, a fake about math books in Missouri, not Florida.

Your people. Anti education, anti math, anti reality, anti truth. You must be proud.

Edit: I wonder how long it will take you to solve that 4th grade math problem. I’m embarrassed to say it took me over 2 seconds….including reading time.

Er this is way out of date, but i just came across this.

The Big Issue is sold by homeless people, and the idea is that they are classed as employed for the various benefits that bestows against anti-begging rules or social norms.

And it kind has a respectability to it so it gives confidence to people who believe the usual stigmata; this is a Big Issue seller so you're not going to get spat on, swore at, it's not stolen and your money won't go on booze, etc.

The previous description made it sound a bit like a career choice, when it's more like a helping hand when you don't have a career.

So...there's scientists out there who measure little children's pee?

I wonder if they're questioning their career choice.

I found this programme to be a fascinating investigation into gender differences, which tries to find reasons to explain the career choices made by men and women.

Please don't be put off by the subtitles. Some of the interviews are conducted in English.

I'm going by numbers I've heard outside of the clip. The professorship example, while anecdotal, supports a number between 90% and 97%.

He dismisses women's career choices factoring into their lower pay at 3:30, 5:38, and 6:52. I get it, he's trying to make a point in an entertaining way, so he glosses over a few points. It's just I find him more inciteful than insightful.

If I wanted the close the gender gap, I'd encourage more girls to get into engineering, and pay teachers more (try to make the US education system more like Finland).

And I think you have little knowledge in this area.
Artist is a state of mind, not a career choice. They see things differently.

Yes, artists need to work jobs to live, and many do, but really not by choice. It's every artists dream to live in and thrive in a creative space. It's the worldly demands that destroy and water down the creative so they never reach their potential.
Some artists are lucky that they manage to find a niche, something that allows them to prostitute their talent in various ways. But don't kid yourself, Those artists are not free to create as they see fit to choose, they are often at the mercy of the client and as such are not free to truly reach their creative potential.

Artists are impractical people.
"secure areas" is a polite way of saying "within the system."

@Velocity5
it appears to me you do not fully comprehend what it is to be an artist.

the argument you put forth would make sense in the context that being an artist can be quantified as a "career choice".

i assure you....it is not.

artists live in the present.
they reveal new ways of seeing,thinking and feeling in a constant parade of melodies woven together by the very fabric of humanity.

sometimes beautiful..other times horrific.
the artist rips the veil back to reveal a deeper truth.

the artist is sometimes exhalted.
many times vilified.

but it is never simply by choice.
they cant help themselves.
it is who they are.

so they live their lives according to the truth they perceive around them.
the ones who DO make it a career choice are not artists.
they have sold a talent in exchange for comfort and security and we always are the lesser for it.

I was actually referring to the woman's parenting job as her son was being raised, not her responsibility as a parent currently when he is all grown up.
The argument I'm making is that she's done a shitty job raising her son, hence why he's being chased by DEA agents. This is different from what you guys have pointed out which is that her responsibility as a parent stops once the child becomes an adult and makes his own decisions.
She has no control over her son's individual will as an adult, hence she is free from the blame of her son's criminal activity. But the original argument of her being a shitty parent still stands. The role of parent has an enormous impact on the child's cognitive development and their career choice. And at the end of the day she must live with the fact that she has raised a criminal.


That's a very absolute view on the world which is rarely made up of absolutes when it comes to people. Her son might just be a shithead, or her son might not have been the guy they were looking for thus no conviction/arrest.

fuck youtube [and rush limbaugh] for making "ranting inaudible fat fuck" a career choice.

She needs to stop with this stupid damn bang crap. She's had a terrible haircut since Elf. That was the last time I would consider her attractive. Everything since then has been terrible. And I think that's a microcosm for her career choices as well, because I thought this looked terrible, too.

FUNKY CHICKEN.
One of those things that suck, cos they bust their GUTS getting to this point - and if they are just not physiologically inclined to take the G's then they have to leave.


Yeah, I thought the same thing. I hope we're not watching people fail out of their career choice?

The female instructor sounds pretty unsympathetic to these guys after she's just choked their brains of oxygen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-LOC).

A teacher's place is not to inspire anger in kids but to invoke creative and critical thought.
By debasing this student, both directly and publicly, he is only building more walls in the kids brain and causing him to close down even more. This is shown by the way the kid closes off and reverts to finding it all a joke.
I don't know what ever lead up to this debacle of events, as it is not shown, but the teacher should have found a more creative way to educate and inspire this student to evolve his thinking and maybe to give a dam!


What a bunch of hippy bullshit. This kind of thinking is what leads us to today's world people. All hail the new god - he travels under the guise of well-meaning. When a parent is pinned for shouting at or delivering moderate physical punishment to their child, he smiles, and another child grows up believing that they are right in all things and must regret nothing - because there are no real consequences.

When a man is jailed and sued for defending himself, his family and his home from intruders, he laughs, and another generation set out on their career choice of 'criminal' - because apparently crime does pay.

And when we tie our teachers hands so that they cannot shout at a child or give them a lengthy detention without a week's notice, when we prevent them from getting the respect (mixed with a degree of fear) from students, then we end up with apathetic under-achievers.

This man has passion and god love him for it. By rediculing this kid for idolising a bunch of fucking losers and law breakers, he might have just turned this kid into something worthy of society.

I've seen the effect that the kind of teachers you hope for has on a school. You've no idea what you're talking about. If you think that this teacher's vehemence and words were not inspiring, you're more scummy than the kid that got the ear-bashing.

A thousand upvotes for dystopian's comments. Preach it brother.

im not a mom yet but i disaprove. most adul problems are root back to experiances from childhood, even ones you dont remember. you brain is growing anf forming and anything can have a lasting impact. even if some disgree of the damaging effects its cruel nonetheless.


It depends on the kid. I've spent my entire life having nightmares. As in several a night, at least 4 times a week, since I was at least 3 years old(yes I remember back that far). I grew up, got used to them, and am going to use them in my career choice of becoming a director. I'm a bit weird, but I'm much more psychologically "ok" than anyone I know.

This was maybe 6 hours of weird creepy things around this baby. He'd have forgotten this in a few days and will be as normal as everyone else.
