When I graduated college, I was interviewing with the charter school that my mom works at. They were looking for ANYBODY with a degree in physics. It didn't matter that I wasn't a licensed educator, it didn't matter that all I had was a Bachelor's degree. They were offering an annual salary of $42,000 per year.

Two years later, I'm making over 4x that amount, annually, as a software engineer.

I really would love to teach, because I love science and I love teaching. But I love financial stability and a good work/life balance wayyy more.

Pilot: Mayday mayday mayday, we've had an engine out

Tower: Is it a full or partial engine out?

Pilot: Partially out of the cowling

Get a little portable bidet. They're not ideal, but it sure beats the awful toilet paper in public bathrooms.

While others grow a beard because we've lost everything on top and it's at least a consolation prize.

To be fair, allowing felons to run for office means that a leader's political enemies can't be charged with phony crimes in order to prevent them from running for office. It's a safeguard against authoritarianism.

I used to think there was no such thing as a stupid question. You have now changed my mind.

I have absolutely no idea what they mean by conservative/progressive movie. I too would like to know, because I'm utterly baffled.

"Liquidation" sounds like it's just another way to say "sunken"
