Physics and Astronomy teacher in a primarily rural school district. Aspiring writer of the sci-fi variety, with a spiffy story burning a hole in my head but lacking formal novel-writing skills and tricks.

Play D&D in my spare time, am an unrepentant power gamer. Can take any class and turn it into the scariest thing in the world.

Teaching is an important, noble, and good profession. Do you intend to teach mathematics (your degree is economics). I spent many years in applied sciences research, worked other jobs in technical writing, NGO, management. Five years ago I had begun to volunteer on weekends in education. The work is so interesting, inspiring, important, that I quit the cushy job in order to sit for a licentiate to teach physics, history of science, mathematics. Best decision.

I obviously disagree, but I've had this conversation too many times to think of it as being one that I need to have again. Let's leave it at that.

That's what is so good about it. If it's accurate, they'll come back to be manipulated again!

Unless one becomes one of the bourgeoisie or works for the government... you'll always be either working for them or poor as dirt.


Being poor as dirt isn't all that bad as long as you're not literally wondering where you're next meal is going to come from or in immediate danger of losing the roof over your head. Not if you are working for yourself.

Let's not cast aspersions on a certain criminal culture because they're black.

What a racist thing to say. You just naturally assume bling-bling is black, eh?
Maybe it's italian, russian, or Columbian mob?

We've been fucking over this. I even sourced my claim. Stop. I'm not fucking racist, and trying to turn a statement bringing the implied into the open doesn't make me so.

I love it when people like you get super defensive when you bring race into something, and when called a racist, you get ass mad as fuck.

Never stop, your hypocrisy is delicious. Whenever I feel down, I always remind myself of your mentality, and become glad that I'll ever be as low as you.
