Horror stories from the working class (hexbear.net)
 

Let's share the worst things we've had to endure as employees. I'll go first:

Teenage, food service, pizza. The AC breaks in the middle of a California summer, easily 110°f outside, 115°f inside the store (verified), with 500°f open-ended ovens running nonstop. Then the makeline which holds ingredients breaks. The cheese melts into clumps. We stay open, business as usual. Also, no breaks, ever. Pay: $8.50/hr.

Adult, teaching, high school. No in-class heat for four years. School provides one basic 11" fan heater used to warm small bedrooms. My class ceilings are at least 12ft with tons of windows. I developed a routine of showing up an hour early, turning on the collection of heaters I'd acquired (including several from home), and get the room up to a sweltering 62°f by first period. I also figured out which electrical items can be plugged into which outlets and how to reset the fuse panel on a moments notice. I have photos of my students huddled around an oil-radiator with their hands out, eager for even a semblance of heat.

Your turn:

Every time I visit my parents and the news is on TV in the background, I'm astonished by just how thick it lays on the propaganda. in c/[email protected]

"When was the last time they had a conservative/republican give a viewpoint"

"Today."

"When was the last liberal/democrat?"

"Today."

"When was the last anarchist/communist?"

"I don't really know what viewpoints the speakers have."

Remember when Columbine happened and the media blamed Marilyn Manson? (hexbear.net)
 

With no evidence except him being a weirdo?

That was weird.

Cancel culture is out of control.
