My physics teacher stapled McDonalds applications to kids tests when they failed.
This is the equivalent of “you don’t want to be like that Janitor over there” energy. Needlessly mean to a specific class or profession because they don’t see it as valued.
Nobody respected the janitorial staff at my high school until they went on strike. Shit went downhill FAST.
Wow you guys had to use the hill? That’s rough.
Some of y’all didn’t grow up in the southeastern US and it shows.
Not all of the teachers in my school were unreasonable narcissistic sadists, but about half of them were.
Generally speaking those who haven’t encountered evil think reports of evil are exaggeration and myth.
Conversely, those who have encountered evil have a tendency to overestimate how much evil there actually is.

Yes. As Bruce Lee says, don’t be tense; be ready.
The optimal is to recognize that all situations warrant readiness for evil, which doesn’t have to mean actually seeing evil everywhere one goes.
I carry a knife at all times, because I was jumped by a drunk guy while homeless. He threw me down and kicked my head repeatedly until others pulled him off me. He did it because I asked him if he could spare a dollar.
But the other night, I was sitting at a traffic light. Three people walked by, two men and a woman. They were all giving me hostile stares.
I rolled down my window and said “Do you guys have a problem with me?” and they just said “No you’re just so cute”. The guys were gay I guess.
Realized I broke the rule of being ready, but not tense.
I appreciate your reminder, too.
What?
“Rappers are lying when they say that teachers told them they wouldn’t amount to anything. They just told you to read aloud, and you got mad.”
A meme or common trope about rappers is they say that their teachers told them they would amount to nothing.
This person says some of them are lying to act like a victim, and what actually happened is the teacher made them read aloud to the class which they may not have been good at, and it made them angry so they made up the story I mentioned previously.
