Lol!
So true though, the left is absolutely in love love love with mega-corporations now, the bigger and more evil the better, with Pfizer at the top.

The engineering students don't have any psychological need to be like that, because they know what they are doing, and why, and exactly how much money they are going to make when they graduate.
This is why leftists can pivot from "Watch out for the Media and Big Pharma" to "Praise the Media and Big Pharma" in a minute without neck injuries.

Yep! Because they control them. Before, when they didn't, corporations were controlled by the "Man".
It was wicked evil for Walmart to pull a Rap Album full of cuss words, and whore this and bitch that, talking about gunning down people and slapping women, off the shelf without ID. Total oppression of Artists and Free Speech.
But now that they control Corporations, it's simply MUH PRIVATE COMPANY and Woke Virtue to ban Trump, Alex Jones, etc. ENTIRELY, adult or not adult. Regardless of content.
Hate Speech is Obscenity for the Left, except unlike Obscenity which is only limited to adults, Hate Speech must be restricted for ALL. And Hate Speech is simply Speech leftists (and liberals) hate.

That's interesting. It does seem that mega-corporation management has become quite leftist socially, while of course continuing to exploit the masses the same as ever.
Or maybe they just advertise that they have become leftists with the sodomy flag and BLM logos, while laughing at the leftist plebes who believe it.

Why am I NOT surprised that this is in Montgomery County
Among the material associated with a Maryland public school's five-day social justice summer course is a slide that identifies the phrase "Make America Great Again" as a type of "Covert White Supremacy."
The slogan, often abbreviated "MAGA," has been a staple of Donald Trump's political career.
Judicial Watch obtained the slide and other materials related to Thomas Pyle Middle School's course titled "Reading and Taking Action for Social Justice."
"The enclosed materials were prepared to include in the class; however, many of the materials were not shared with students," according to the cover letter provided along with the course records. It also states that the class "took place July 13 through July 17, 2020 and met for 50 minutes each day. No grades were given and no actual work was due."
The middle school is connected with Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland, a school district that awarded more than $454,000 for an "Anti-racist System...

I try not to be an optimist. Optimists tend to be angry most of the time, mostly because their hopes keep getting dashed by reality and the stupidity of other people. Especially these days. It’s bad being an optimist. I’ve been angry for so long. I don’t want to be angry anymore. I want to be at peace and pessimism is good for that. The world is fucked and most people are selfish and stupid. That’s reality. Accepting that reality brings an ability to accurately predict the course of events.
I know that people aren’t going to do their research before making a decision on whether to take an experimental jab. They’re going to take the advice of someone they respect (even if he is a dumb ass or propaganda mill) and do whatever he says.
I know that 90% of the parents on my baseball team aren’t going to help even before I meet them. People are selfish. I’m putting myself out there as a volunteer, training their kids, investing time and money, and they still can’t be bothered to help with field maintenance. I know this. So I’m not surprised. I do it for the kids. This way if a parent does help I am pleasantly surprised and they go on my private list of people who are “alright.”

I suppose. Choosing parenthood is an extreme expression of optimism.
Scriptures are full of platitudes for being optimistic. Maybe this is why many people of faith have an optimistic outlook. (I know, the SF area is ground zero of the anti-faithful, and SF has the lowest kid population per capita of anywhere. Bring it on, hipsters.)

Agree with this, but I'd add you have to be pessimistic for it to work out in the end. I live by a rule to expect the worst. I have a knack for spotting situations going south and by being pessimistic, I'm able to prevent drama and am prepared for a negative outcome. Over optimism is toxic in my mind as Shaman is eluding to. The idea that things will just go right will fool you.
If you think you're going to win and continue to fail that has consequences mentally. You have to go in trying your best, but understand and accept there's a possibility you'll lose or something negative will happen. Being overly optimistic is not healthy.

Here is a different way of approaching a challenge through a lens that's not pessimistic. It's a challenge, how to confront/deal with the situation, solve the problem, make the best of a bad situation, figure out and navigate through the less bad of bad options. A test of one's intellect, problem solving, or values. Approach it with a positive outlook, you'll win even if you lose.
Being overly pessimistic is not healthy.
Like people of faith, optimistic in the knowledge that our fleeting time here is but a test, can face challenges with an overall optimistic outlook. Such are folks whom Hipsters and Snarksters like the Bay Area is chock-full of, would refer to as Simpletons.

Forgot to share an idiocracy moment from my kid's school: because of "covid" they are not allowed to have their lunch inside, but couple of weeks ago they also were not allowed to be outside because of poor air quality caused by Caldor fire. The solution our brilliant Vice Principal came up with? Kids should have their lunch inside (because covid!), but seat on the floor instead of at the tables (because air quality!). Or was that the other way around....

Each life is different. For mine I HAVE to expect the worst and be prepared. Just dealt with family Sunday with a MIL who is an alcoholic and showed up plastered to my sons birthday get together. If I thought she'd be sober, I would have been blindsided with a drunk that knocked over glasses, drank our booze and ended up staying the night. Then she made the kids cry in the morning.
Stuff like that is volatile. It wears on you when it happens at every event. You have to be prepared for it so you don't overreact. So maybe pessimism wasn't the best word. 3 out of 10 times she's fine, but I'd rather be ready to deal with the 7 or 10 times she's fucked up. I got lucky with the good one (wife) out of 5 total girls in the family. But my wife's family is extremely fucked up as are most as I've noticed getting older.
My MIL couldn't even move out of her house the day of closing last fall. I had to rush in and save the day with the trailer. I knew it would be that way, so I thought negative and I was right and not overwhelmed. Preparing for negative is not negative in and of itself. It's just realizing what might happen.
For things I do personally for myself, I for sure go in thinking and believing the outcome will be good. For others around me I generally think what bad could happen. Honestly, I'm right most of the time. I have a knack for predicting bad outcomes, so I'm prepared for them so it doesn't devolve into a shit storm or physical altercation.
I think only once I missed the signs things were going south. This will get some laughs. An argument over Guns N' Roses being better than Poison. What resulted was the dumbest thing I've maybe witnessed in my life. It included my wife and I getting punched. Brass knuckles and broken beer bottles with people trying to stab others. Was quite the melee. That event changed my outlook moving forward on people. I've stopped more fights about to happen than I can count. We're talking randoms in say Nashville or some other place on vacation.

Jesus fuck. Sorry for the swearing. That is messed up. Let's say 80-100 teachers get to dictate what 3-4k people have to do that day because they don't want to work??? Must be nice. Not mad at you, but this legit gets me pretty angered.
Not sure if you've got the time or it's your jam, but get on the school board dude. That's totally 1,000% unacceptable. Given I believe you're in CA, that's literally millions of dollars in economic output completely fucked for the day by people that have 4 months of the year off. People that get paid above the median FAMILY income as an individual.
BA, you've pissed me off now. The fuck. I legit cannot compute teachers just taking a mental health day out of nowhere and fucking parents over like that. I won't do this, but would want to. I'd find all their addresses and punch them in the fucking face. I'm lol right now. Livid out loud.

Yeah, but notice for what? I'm pissed if we have a snow day which is a legit reason to cancel school. This is not legit in my world. Hence why I'm so shocked.
We literally had our hands on the trigger to move out to CA. It's lost/deleted now but I had a detailed spreadsheet of costs of living moving from IL to CA. It didn't make sense, but I've loved CA when I visit. I'm glad we didn't.
IL is flawed with Chicago in certain ways, but I can't imagine teachers just calling off school for mental health. Mental health is important, but what about all the kids and parents?? You're causing stress for so many more people. It boggles my mind and is hypocritical of the teachers to do that. Their mental health is more important than the 25 kids they teach and the 50 parents that now have to deal with it in one classroom? A profession that gets 4 months of the year off? Come on. Sickening.

Children almost never passed Covid infections in school, a study published Friday reveals.
In fall 2021, in four Massachusetts school districts with 18,000 children, researchers found 44 potential cases of in-school transmission.
You read that right.
18,000 students. 34 schools. Four months. And 44 Covid infections - including no infections of teachers or other staff members.
Throughout 2020 and 2021, as parents pressed with increasing urgency to reopen classrooms, teachers unions and Democratic politicians warned in-school Covid transmission would lead to waves of death. “Teachers are so worried about returning to school that they’re preparing wills,” CNN infamously wrote on July 16, 2020.
In reality, schools were among the safest possible places for students and teachers during Covid, this study suggests. ...
Too bad it comes far too late to matter to the kids in blue states who in some cases were denied over a year of in-person education.

The key years are grades 3 to 7. That is when the brain is developed and set to learn more abstract and complex subjects like algebra and physical science in 9th and 10th grades.
So 1st and 2nd grades can be neglected some, but the student needs to be on the right path of learning by 3rd grade.
And by 8th grade, essentially a well developed student is on autopilot as far as learning. They just need to be adequately challenged and instructed in school.

I thought it was some kind of sick joke but over the years "mental health" spread to so many private sectors to a level that now its is promoted to "mental health month". Its really creepy to see these signs around for a month long! This is clearly a scam to do a favor to unemployed grocery store workers (TM@WookieMan ;) acts as "therapists" ;)
At this rate, CA could potentially declare all residents are "mental patents" at some point!
Not sure if this scam spread to other states to loot them as well by labeling "mental health patents". Health scare industry is a full of scams.

Now the teachers unions have managed to also fuck over working parents. People with jobs are expected to quit them to stay home with the kids and homeschool them. Regardless of their budgets of course. The only thing that matters to the teachers is that they get to stay home and still get paid.
Now the LA Unified School District has authorized free daycare for teachers who are parents, so they have someplace other than home (which is where they will be) to send their rug rats so they won’t have to care for them while “teaching online” everyone else’s kids who don’t get free day care.
In my neighborhood there are several gyms which have opened as daycare/schools able to provide daycare for school aged kids with staff who can help the kids with their online lessons. This costs $155-200/week and goes until 3PM same as a regular school day. Working parents who can’t be home with their kids to help them are expected to shell out $650-800/month per kid to “educate” their kids while public schools we all pay for are shuttered because teachers are scared of Covid. But NOT too scared to send their own kids to day cares as long as the school district pays for that!
Fuck teachers unions. Seriously.

It’s in the article, buried:
“Teachers also will be provided with child care.”
