i quite like their poutine!! also their sweet potato fries, vegan mac n cheese, and many sandwiches are good! i like the smoked tofu & the cajun burger

yeah even accessing what few generous resources exist (snap, section 8, ssdi) is a kafkaesque nightmare

oh yes i just mean it is stunningly easy to discharge debts here! so the risk of accruing them is much lower! the risk of having no money however remains quite high relative to any other country in our income bracket

it seems fairly clear that the american system produces more innovation and growth, in no small part because the consequences of failing professionally are pretty egregious. there’s no net to catch you

at the same time our generous bankruptcy system does let you start from scratch, so

i’ve been to london ~15 times for a cumulative total of 3 or 4 days, so anything that a first pass tourist would miss that’s still worthwhile. it’ll be winter but i love art & food & museums & wine & history

i’ve been discoursing. conclusion is tipping them over is praxis

i’m gonna tweet this

yeah that’s why you’d probably be a better teacher. my impulse in academics is to be brutal bc i think standards are wayyyy too low. even if she engaged with the text and did the assignment id give a C for the writing quality lol

if you drop in like a single quote from the OG text to prove she’s read it—C instead of F probably

yeah i fall on the side of her argument was germane to the course but deserved a failing grade for:

1) failing to engage in good faith

2) failing to refer directly to the text, which is requested in the prompt

3) failing to cite outside sources in the alternative

4) being written so very badly

i read the whole thing. it gestured at what she believed the argument to be but doesn’t actually engage & it doesn’t cite anything. it was also like 4th grade quality writing, but may be the norm for college freshmen nowadays

the drama is the right kicking up a storm for her failing the assignment, not realizing the assignment was to engage with the text (in agreement or disagreement) and she just completely failed to mention it or any of its arguments so the prof gave her a 0

oh gimme recs i’m there in two weeks

there is a funding bill & a reform bill on the floor right now and i’m hearing it’s not so likely either passes…
