Many of you have become drama-addicted doomers, and you seem to think it's important for the rest of us to join you.
Yes, things are bad. But change is within our power. Grow up. Act like sober, responsible adults in a democracy instead of cynical, all-is-lost teenagers.
Now get off my lawn.

They threaten to make the prof teach an 8 am class if he doesn't revise his class. That's cold blooded and dastardly.
And I can't imagine getting assigned a new class a few days before the semester starts. That would be a nightmare [unless he taught it before, in which case it wouldn't be so bad].

I mute quite a bit. Mainly people that I like/respect, so I don't want to unfollow them, but just can't stomach what they post. There's no single thing that sets me off ... it's different reasons for different people.
