Capitalism will kill Art and Education

I am a teacher and speak to many different students from all walks of life. Overwhelmingly when we talk about education, they say the following things: ​ – The sole purpose of education is to give you the tools to make money – We should get rid of subjects like art, and literature – schoolchildren should learn how to pay taxes, pay bills, and only practical subjects that only serve ​ ​ this means that they don't view education as a way of enriching and exploring knowledge, but purely as something that must serve capitalist exploitation ​ it probably explains why so many on the right have zero media literacy

I can’t leave, because I’m not paid enough.

That's really the whole post. ​ For the past year and a half, I had worked steadily and made 72-96k per year (different positions in my field). Got an email last week that the job is gone. Not much warning at all. ​ I had thought about living on my own. Trying to make it. Now I can't, because the position I had was a big pay bump, chance for health insurance, and more.

I'm physically safe, things are better than they were a year ago, and because of the money thing, I have to pick what I'm dealing with: stay with pets in familiar surroundings and deal with my wife,…

What is our future

A. we continue on the the downhill slope we’ve reached as a society. By continuing to make people more and more comfortable by developing entertainment and technology. which simultaneously makes us weaker and less intelligent. But you might not realize it because what you know is all you’ve ever known and how you think now is how you always thought you think like. In most day to day scenarios unless you speak from a deep place all the time. Then kudos. B. We reevaluate ourselves see how we’ve been way more physically inactive and way more mentally active than any humans in our history. And how the mind is in the dark place of our whole being and the body in the light. Start standing up with pride for making it this far. Yeah we’ve done some crappy things but hate breeds hate negativity is a virus. Just do your…

Photo of a positive Covid test?

Hi everyone.. I need your help. I have Covid symptoms and I'm not feeling great but my management insists on a Covid test result to not go into the office. I don't have money right now to get a test. I only get paid in 6 days. They still insist. Can someone please send me a picture of a positive Covid test result? If it has the wrong details I'm pretty good at Photoshop so…

how much do titles actually matter at work?

I recently received an offer they were advertising it as a software tech, but after the offer letter they said that the most common title they were looking for was simply a tech. They mentioned that the tasks will be the same no matter the title. Should I be concern?
