nearly kills her

Based on the picture of the broken square section, I think that might be a bit of a stretch...

But "person avoids injury at final destination screening" doesn't have that same allure.

Or teacher didn't even see this, handed it to a high school student and said "grade this stack of papers"

I had that happen several times in science classes in 3rd-8th grade. Eventually I started arguing with the teachers in class, and boy did they not like being corrected.

Sorry Ms Avery, you not knowing that "Pb" is the abbreviation of the Latin word "plumbum", where we also get "plumbing" from due to its use in piping in rome, doesn't mean I got the answer wrong. To her credit, she looked it up and changed my grade before the end of class.

Ms hoschouli from 7th grade can get fucked though, a parallel circuit increases amperage load, not voltage load. I knew more about electronics in 7th grade than a college graduate who teaches science class, which in hindsight isn't that impressive considering it was general science and not electronics specific... But in 7th grade, as far as I was concerned I was hot shit for knowing more than the teacher, and getting detention for calling her out in the middle of class. Never got the grade changed and I only got out of detention because my parents called the school.

That seems more like "these kids don't know basic things and/ or their names" rather than "these kids don't know colloquialisms from previous decades"

Paper is still everywhere and staples are everywhere. How do they not know what a stapler is?

You mean we've seen these memes before? How many times?

I know for a fact I'm opinionated, and don't have problems sharing them.

Please, by all means, block me if you think seeing my comments is adversely affecting you. I'd rather be ignored by someone than make their day worse (unless they're actively trying to make others miserable, but that's a separate discussion)

The fediverse has definitely gotten a little less hostile after blocking a few things.

And remember you can jump ship to another instance at any time! I've hopped a few times but for now my instance is filling my needs without much drama that I am aware of.

My mother in law fully believes that liberals have taken over Texas and that they're over-reporting things like this in order to trick people into believing banning abortion is what caused it.

A moderator with no sense of humor probably just stubbed his toe before reading it.

Don’t care how they got it.

Unethically, probably illegally.

Some people should really meet my transporter pattern buffer...

You know, I've also heard people saying this. Many people are saying this.

Who specifically? Oh, I can't recall.

But lots of people are saying this.

To summarize the comment you are replying to:

"astronauts dying is a price Boeing is willing to pay"

"now pay the executives their bonus because, as executives, they are better than you. They also built this country by themselves with their bare hands, without help"

It's extremely facetious, and pointing out that Boeing doesn't give a shit about safety or the people in space, they just want money.

If you're upset that lemmy isn't trying to solve this problem..... Well then I can't help you there. This isn't a place to investigate solutions to global problems or company management issues.

If you want to have one, by all means go make one yourself! unless you turn the speed dial to Plaid, it literally can't be worse than the shitty job the companies are currently doing.
