The only remedy is to vote for people you believe are qualified for the job.
The problem is seniority brings power and therefore money to your state. So people vote for old farts for decades, just to get that sweet cash flowing into their state/district.
@BringOnNovember What I don't get about wearing glasses: Most days I'll get up and part of my routine is getting the little spray bottle and a microfiber cloth until the lenses are pristine. 12 hours later, they're smudged and have enough dirt and gunk you could plant potatoes on them.
@JasonAblin You really just have to. You need to get the kids into the mindframe of "What cool stuff is this grandpa-looking dude going to teach me today."
You just shut everything else out.
@TheUnvirgin "God, help me. My kid has cancer."
"Tough shit," answers a booming voice from the clouds.
"God my new wife is on her period, and that's no fun."
"No problem, I'll dry her up for a few days."
@lukeshand2 There are districts out here attempting to snipe teachers from other districts, usually during the summer.
My district combated this by requiring teachers to sign a contract for the next school year in April. And if you broke the contract, they'd try to get your cert pulled.
@sohelpmejesseca The thing that blows my mind is these guys invest time and energy trying to come up with cogent arguments for why they should be allowed to fuck a child.
Weight and many environmental factors kick-start menstruation. Is a 9-year-old who "started early" fair game?
@ask_aubry This guy weighs over 360 pounds. He's trying to find a woman who would love Jabba the Hut to watch her clean his apartment, drink some wine, fuck, and cuddle.
@McClureShawn Yep. It's hard to get that across to students. It's all about building on what came before. Newton nailed planetary motion and we could do stuff like predict eclipses, tides, etc. But Einstein came along and showed there was more going on. Did that make Newton an idiot? Nope.
@DonaldJTrumpJr Election interference isn't setting a trial date, Skippy.
It's directing GOP states to submit a slate of fake electors. It's ordering your VP to accept these and throw out the real ones. And it's encouraging a bunch of mouth-breathers to attack Capitol Police and shit on walls.
@iamAtheistGirl Yep. You're an adult. Do what you want.
People who disapprove can just mute/block you.
Don't let the assholes who so desperately want to validate themselves drag you into their mudpit of misery.
@TeaRoseRock I have a couple, plus my secret weapon I've owned since I first joined the Air Force. It's called a P-38. It opens cans like a champ and is about the size of my thumb.
@ask_aubry I firmly believe that the secret to finding a life partner is
A) Not be an asshole.
Being nice, occasionally funny, humble, and respectful are 95% of what anyone really wants.
You can look like a movie star, but if you're a dick you'll probably get laid, but you'll die alone
