  • Teachers are horrendously underpaid, but they need to stop complaining about the “hours”. It rings disingenuous to most who know the job.

    Unless they are taking afterschool roles they work generally 8-3:00 with a potentially a few hours of work after for grading and lesson planning. This is along with numerous holidays / admin days during the school year.

    I say this knowing personally a few teachers who complain about hours, and it seems to be a cultural thing not based in their reported real experiences.

    The salary is shit, at least for non-senior roles in my state, but that is not a lot of hours relative to the average wage earner.






  • You have to fill the gap with something else enjoyable/stimulating.

    Also, often people find they enjoy some of the activities they would be doing all along without the drugs,

    ie. Hanging out with friends, lying have passed out on a couch watching TV / playing video games / staring at the ceiling listening to music, sex, bumming cigarettes, hustling for money, going to dangerous places / doing dangerous things, committing small time crimes, alienating family, ect…

    You can enjoy all these things while sober… no need to be boring ;-)








  • It’s actually a big question: what is fair and do we want to make things more fair… so unfortunately what is nice in spirit is a philosophical tautology

    The issue being who’s definition of fair

    Probably yours is the right one I’m guessing

    But no, life is not fair. Yes we should make it better according to some over arching definition
