One thing I miss about reddit is that I could just filter out r/teenagers

iforgotmyinstance ,

We’ve been so busy fighting extremists and gross fetish porn that we forgot to quarantine the annoying children.

Where can I fight this gross fetish porn? I need to, uh, join the fight, too…

Not sure bro, I think he talking about hentai pedos

Oh nvm then.

The annoying children were quarantined on reddit?

Anyway, I’m not leaving this place without a fight

I don’t know about you but /r/teenagers was one of the handful of subs I ever blocked.

Wasn’t r/teenagers filled with pedoes?

user224 ,

Plenty, yes. If someone revealed they’re a girl aged 13-16, they’d get flooded with DMs asking for nudes. And dick pics. Always many of such screenshots around.

Lurking_Eye ,

Lmao it pains me every time I think of my prior behavior as a kid on the net. Becoming an adult, I was not prepared to face the shame of my behavior simply due to my lack of understanding. I genuinely thought I knew. ugh.

BigNote ,

I never thought about that before, but I guess that’s one good thing about having already been an adult by the time the Internet existed.

Trihilis ,

Im also saddened that this is at the top of my feed. I want to laugh not be annoyed by some shitpost badly hidden as a meme.

“oh no i cannot play on my phone, how could school be so cruel”

EvokerKing ,

I actually doubt that phones are the major reason for a post like this. There are many reasons that you could fill in that only happen to some schools but phones happen to be the only one that applies to nearly every school. For example, at my school, our lunches have been cut down to shit 15 minutes at most, and if you buy lunch, it’s much less. We usually have them call 5 minutes left. Sometimes they will say the kitchen is closed, sometimes they can’t because people are still ordering.

The theory of a donut shaped galaxy is genius. I stole it from Homer Simpson.

I have a friend who lives in one of these neighborhoods but right in the middle of a city. Blows my mind that it was there the whole time and I just never noticed until I went to his house.

What do they do as a job?

Many pilots do this as a means of reducing the costs associated with operating out of areas with high hangar and service costs. This is Northwest of Chicago near Rockford. The about page explains a lot of the obvious questions.

SovietyWoomy , to memes in Why must we be done this way?

How do you address low motivation levels though? The response to covid, the endless school shootings, their parent’s jobs, and even a small amount of reading about climate apocalypse should make it obvious to children that society despises them and that they have no future. How do you motivate someone to do well in school under those conditions if they’re not already motivated?

usernamesaredifficul ,

education is a benefit in and of itself. Maths helps develop your brain to solve problems, english makes you more able to appreciate culture which in turn will make you more interesting and better able to socialise, history helps you understand how the world is and that it used to and can be different.

These things are worth learning even if you don’t do them for work

Thank you for posting this. This tactic isn’t new. It’s been a common practice for decades. Bury the customer under paperwork and rejections hoping they give up.

I used to work insurance claims support for a major national pharmacy chain.

I’ve gotten this call, several times.

I don’t think it’s particularly unreasonable to conclude that any decent approach to the first will also include the second. That shit is literally designed to be addictive, even the best teachers are gonna struggle to compete.

Time to find employment that doesn’t involve being a soul-sucking leech on society.

pc_admin ,

What? You don’t like the free market?

db2 ,

If what we’ve seen is actually the free market, then no.

BobKerman3999 ,

Yes that’s the free market: all the big players make a cartel and fuck everyone else.

cooopsspace ,

The free market is one idea, but how about legislation to force insurance companies to pay out for illnesses that natural born human beings get and stop screwing Americans.

pc_admin ,

But then it wouldn’t be a free market, what are you some kind of commie?!

cooopsspace ,

The free market is supposed to be about competition, that’s why basically every industry in the US is made up of 3-5 mega corps that collude together to fuck Americans.

Insurance industry is like a 500m sprint where every runner has agreed to only walk. Hence nobody has better service, no innovation, costs are high and customers lose out.

jackoneill ,

Right? If you work for insurance you are the problem

blindbunny ,

Yeah because a comrade starving is really gonna show those capitalist.

jackoneill ,

If you can’t get a job that actually helps society then you can get the fuck out of it

blindbunny ,

This is not meant to be dismissive but this maybe the best paying job for ops area/experience. They may not have the means to get a better job. While I understand the need to actually contribute to society. Starving to achieve that isn’t going to help anyone.

db2 ,

You’re describing an industry that exists to employ people desperate enough to abuse other people like it’s a good thing.

blindbunny ,

I never described the industry in anyway. But if that’s what you read, ok.

ThatWeirdGuy1001 ,
@ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world avatar

Damn bro you mean people need money to survive???

You mean because money reigns above all people who have none will take jobs they normally wouldn’t because they’re fucking starving???

Almost like we should take care of the poor so they won’t have to take these parasitic jobs (which are created by parasitic people at the top not the bottom) and can survive???

Take your “altruistic” bullshit somewhere where people can survive comfortably on the bare minimum.

And since those places barely exist outside of small areas I would say please hold your breath. That way at least a piece of shit dies instead of someone who performed the crime of being born poor

db2 ,

I’d starve before harming others like that, and on more than one occasion in life I’ve opted the course that was more damaging to myself because of that reason. Pity you’re too selfish to say the same. I’m going to go ahead and block you though because you’ve shown me clearly that I don’t want to read anything you have to say, so thanks for that at least. Good luck with figuring out how not to be human garbage.

10EXP ,
@10EXP@sh.itjust.works avatar

It’s one thing to ask someone to make a sacrifice for a cause, it’s another to tell someone to starve themselves, and potentially their family, to death if they are completely unable to get a job which doesn’t require them to work for someone who is a leech on society. At least attempt to understand the context.

@AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Most jobs do nothing to actually help society. Our society is not designed towards the benefit of the many but towards the generation of capital. Those sometimes overlap, but usually they don’t.

And since America hates to break with tradition, we go on to relive the experience in poor countries that can’t fight back, and then we cry about how the troops were the real victims.

Gork , to mildlyinteresting in An "airport neighbourhood" where people can store their planes in their yard and taxi directly to the runway

Why doesn’t that runway have, like, lights and stuff. Or an ILS.

ivanafterall ,
@ivanafterall@kbin.social avatar

Those go against HOA rules.

HiddenLayer5 OP ,

Imagine showing up to an HOA meeting with a presentation on why we need to spend ten million dollars on a localizer and glideslope array so Larry wouldn’t have to divert to O’Hare when it’s foggy again.

Gork ,

The HOA fees have now gone up 10,000%.

HiddenLayer5 OP ,

I can’t imagine this being used for anything other than daylight VFR flying, which doesn’t need radio guidance or even guidance in general beyond the airstrip itself. It’s also possible that there are lights, and they’re just too small to see when not lit.

Gork ,

Aren’t there usually strips of lights on the approach before the runway itself? At least for normal commercial airports they are present.

Captain_Ender ,

Naw most VFR unguided airstrips like this don't have anything in the way of landing assistance. The idea being that they'd never fly at night time and divert to a nearby IFR airport if there's sudden weather. Like literal fair weather pilots.

mectx02 ,

It’s not necessarily required. All landings are visual maneuvers anyway; lights just help you see in non-ideal weather conditions

FlexibleToast ,

Because this is a small general aviation field. This is for doctors flying their Cirrus SR22 in and out of. You might be surprised how many airfields are probably around you and how many of those are just a strip of grass with some hangers off to the side.

cristo ,

Dont need an ILS to land every time. Hell you dont even need a landing light legally for non commercial flights

Yep, it’s a sandwich. I’d like to see a video of you eating it now.
