Seriously. My cats are so relaxed because they get their food at the exact same times every day. I still hand feed the first and last meals (canned wet food), but it gives them something to look forward to during the day, even when we are at work.

They can also apparently tell time now because they get ready within five minutes of most feedings, I like to think that makes them feel more connected to their world and existence.

Teachers aren't in charge of school policies and generally aren't even decision makers past the lowest levels of discipline.

One of the most common types of bullying in the US is the use of zero tolerance anti bullying rules as a mechanism for bullying.

Example: kid A punches kid B. Then immediately kid A reports kid B for bullying him because kid A knows how the bullying rules work (because they are a bully). Then kid B gets in trouble for getting bullied.

Typically kid A's parents will enthusiastically back then too because their kid "gets bullied all the time" while kid Bs parents aren't experienced with the policies and aren't positive that their kid didn't do something wrong (because they are normal parents), so they don't fight it too hard and just want it to go away.

Ask any teacher in the US and they will tell you that they see this all the time and most every kid that supposedly "gets bullied all the time" is doing exactly this.

Claiming a lot of expertise for a person who has posted nothing but verifiable horse shit in this whole thread.

The MDC is in Tukwila, not Renton. ;-)

It's an easy mistake to make when you are just making shit up to double down on getting caught making shit up already.

Here is where you post some more bullshit:

Super weird that you are claiming all this familiarity with the factory and the motivation of the complaints without realizing that they don't build the Max in South Carolina so that has nothing to do with this.

They also don't build it in Everett so it's super weird that you met so many people who worked on it there. I guess that in all your many social and professional associations with Boeing people in Everett that it just never came up at all that they build the plane fifty miles away in Renton. Even though non fictional people at Boeing are pretty goddamned specific about which airframe they work on because it literally determines where they live.

This is a fun study in how anecdotal evidence isn't all created equal. Made up nonsense is worth quite a bit less than stuff that actually happened.

The 737 Max is the only plane that Boeing has ever made that the guys at the Boeing factory refuse to fly on. These are guys with "if it ain't Boeing I ain't going" bumper stickers. Unless it's the one.

Line any merger in which a failed company ends up somehow running a successful employee, we see the systematic removal of the very reasons for it's success in the first place.

You kinda wonder why they even bother, but I guess the generation of business jerks that did it made plenty of money and it's just one more shitty thing we get to clean up after them.

It's really subtle, but there are little ads for all manner of Nintendo products hidden all over the ... Super Mario Brothers movie.

Trump hasn't said the truth about one thing his entire life.

I know a half dozen people that worked get out the vote efforts to get Trump out of office who are going to be staying home this year. How many votes do you think that adds up to?
