We started calling them "essential workers" when we needed them and now they're back to "unskilled labor". The language a society uses says a lot about their values.

About your last paragraph, who said this was a partisan issue? Someone who agrees with your last paragraph could also agree with the sentiment that those who tell us the "economy is booming" are often ignoring issues that affect everyday Americans.

Don't forget Boomer movies. So many classics that we have all collectively forgotten about. Personally, I'm getting into Westerns.

Putting content (music, podcast, tv) in my ears and focusing my brain on the information/enjoyment. I spend an inordinate amount of time consuming content, and I'm starting to wonder if there isn't a deep-seated psychological reason

Seriously though, how does it work? Is there a way to not have the "you must sign in" warning?

That's a false dichotomy. It is not the difference between the teacher doing everything and the teacher doing literally nothing ("if nothing is laid out for me"). The expectation is that, in *your * education, the teacher should do their job to teach and you do your due diligence as a student to learn.

The latter point is what the post is about. Students who put in no effort at all. If that doesn't apply to you, then you shouldn't feel annoyed.

Difference between hallucination and illusion is in the first case there just is no object and in the second case you're ascribing the wrong properties to some actual object. So this aint a hallucination
