The American voters chose Trump - both those who voted for him and those who failed to vote against him. The genocide will be thorough as a result.

Why the fuck were they even on X?

And since he never did, why the hell would they expect that?

His shit stains will remain for decades or longer. He will never be gone.

I don’t actually like it … just answering the question very literally.

As a white guy I’ll have even more privilege.

I no longer need to worry about how to pay for healthcare after I retire as I’ll have to work until I die, now.

I’ll get richer, but my kids won’t (without my help).

To make any word possessive that ends with s you put the apostrophe after the s. So Travis’ is the correct way to say something like, “Travis’ shoes were muddy.”

Barely… many of the same fucking morons and trolls of Reddit have setup shop here, too. It’s not the cesspool that Reddit was, yet, but it’s getting there.

Hmmm… maybe. It would still be easier to just forget the past five minutes without actually closing whatever I have open in the browser. I also still wish I could just tell it to not track closed tabs at all.

It’s mostly from clicking links on Lemmy… sometimes the content isn’t what I would expect or there isn’t enough information to even have an expectation before clicking. After clicking there are sometimes things that pop up that I don’t want in my history. Another common use case is that a new porn site will pop up in the Lemmy feed and I don’t want to see it. In order to block it I have to visit the page. So after I block the page I clear my history.

Are you deciding afterwards that you want to forget those pages?

Frequently, yes… There’s also some pages/content on sites where you have to be logged in. Yeah, you could go private and login, but that’s just more steps. I just want to hit a button and have it nuke the last 5 minutes of my browsing without closing my current tabs/browsers.

No, I’m using the ‘Forget about some browsing history’ button. You can selectively remove some entries just from history, but that still leaves them in your recent tabs list. If you just want the last 5 minutes of browsing gone then you have to do the rewind and that closes all tabs/instances.

• It’s not super simple to setup multiple, completely separate profiles like it is in Chrome
• I never, ever visit google.com while I do visit gmail.com at least daily. Yet, when I type ‘g’ the suggestion is always google.com
• I visit m.fark.com on my phone quite frequently. Firefox on my phone randomly decides I want to do a google search for ‘m.fark.com’ instead of visit the site
• I don’t want the recently closed tabs to be tracked and listed, yet there is no way to turn that off
• If the menu bar is displayed the the first browser tab is left aligned. If the menu bar is turned off then the first browser tab is indented for no obvious reason.
• I don’t think I can clear my history without it closing all of my Firefox instances and making me reopen everything.

There’s no one thing that is a show-stopper… just little annoyances.

It’s not firefox’s fault, but I still use music.youtube.com and google hangouts and there’s no option to treat them like standalone apps like there is with chrome.

I switched to Firefox about a month ago for personal use. It’s nearly impossible for me to quit using Chrome, though, due to work.

I don’t hate Firefox, but it does absolutely do some stupid shit that I don’t like.

i am speaking from experience working in a large, k-12 [public] environment

Can you be more specific? Do you have a degree in education? What kind of work were you performing? What grade(s)? How long ago? Are you still there?

i am speaking from experience working in a large, k-12 [public] environment and watching brand new teachers discuss their degrees, and their pay.

Brand new teachers start at the bottom of the salary ladder and typically have a Bachelor’s in Education. They then have to do continuing education and frequently end up with their Master’s.

Why are you referring to ‘teachers’ as if to speak about all of them if what you really meant was those who just graduated? Even then, why are you generalizing and dinging all teachers when there also some very brilliant first year teachers and many who are adequate/good, too?

you barely need a degree to be a teacher in the united states

In most cases of actual teachers in the government run, public school setting, who were trained as teachers, they end up having to get a Masters degree and additional continuing education for as long as they remain a teacher. However, they are desperately under-paid and under-supported.

Once you get into private schools, especially those that are run by churches, all bets are off. This is just one of the many reasons that not even a single dollar of taxpayer money should be going to charter/private schools.

You also have stupid places that let anyone with some random skill teach with the belief they have the capacity to be a teacher and that’s just not true. Teaching is actually a very specialized skill that most people simply don’t have. You can be a brilliant mathematician and a horrible teacher. You may be the world’s best welder (with all of the requisite knowledge of metallurgy, engineering, safety, etc.) and be a horrible teacher.

If you’re going to bad-mouth teachers, then please be more specific than just a lazy trope. Another urban legend that needs to go away is the idea that teachers only work 9 months out of the year.
