    I blame our public education system. Spend 13 years telling children that a good teacher should make them want to learn and any lack of interest or performance on their part is the teacher's fault and they'll become adults who think a good boss should make them want to work. I'm so glad my poor, brown, inner city kids have no illusions on that front.
    This is an issue I see on some levels of the community college I teach at, which is a struggle from me (I grew up raised by old school grandparents that dealt with the civil rights era): On one hand you do have some *highly* intrinsically motivated people by virtue of it being a community college (people working multiple jobs or people who have come back after a hiatus and value the education), but the whole 'edutainment' bit just really upsets me.

    Honestly might've been for the best. Tensions were getting pretty high.

    Either its the combination of his last three posts or someone used a ban credit.

    The funny thing about the america thing is Trump could literally pull the same move old shows would do where they would run a contest for a name submission and just wait for someone to guess it.

    Plus with this way how this is set up they could just wait for the right person to fill in pre-determined qualifiers for this shit. If anything its just like a normal job application however expect to not get paid because its Trump.

    Yeah might've been for the best.

    There's so many contradictions surrounding Trump right now.

    Saying he's going to keep parts of Obamacare, then Kellyanne Conway says he might try and repeal it on inauguration day. Trump says he's won with Twitter and he's going to try and stay off it, then goes off on a Twitter rant against the NYT.

    Banning certain members that actually bring discussion will just lead to an echo chamber so that's not entirely good either.

    To be fair, it wasn't mods that banned those 2 it was just users who've donated to the site using up their 30 day ban hammer.

    Yeah, well, those bans are donation bans. Donate a bunch of money to BG, and you, too, can ban people who annoy you.

    They're 30-day bans, and the mods have literally nothing to do with it. We don't even get a notification. Iirc, whoever has one just sends the admins a PM with the name of the person they want banned, and then the admins ban them. I find out about it at the same time you guys do.

    RNC Chairman Reince Priebus officially tapped as White House Chief of Staff

    Priebus is the former Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman with close personal ties to fellow Wisconsinite Speaker Ryan

    additionally, Breitbart executive Steve Bannon tapped as chief strategist

    You can't, but you can pay $1,000 to nuke the youtube comments.

    I thought you could ban mods, but not admins

    Bannon selected as "counselor and chief strategist." I'm done. Trump picked a guy who fomented white nationalism to one of the most influential positions in his administation.

    To the people on this board that supported and voted for Trump: don't be surprised when people protest and resist virulent racism, misogyny, and antisemitism. If he wanted to unify the country he's going in the wrong direction.

    God help our country for what we're about to go through.

    I hope the Tea party really goes after Trump on Preibus. Would love to see him storming up twitter against them.

    So far most of his picks are insiders and lobbyists, good game on those campaign promises.
