that had, of course, not been my experience in my ten years of secondary and tertiary education. obviously context matters. but even so i would certainly go out of my way not to refer to any plan as a final solution, even if i werent talking about people. and have done so. perhaps i am alone in this. | ||

Maths people already have a way of using words in a slightly different (usually more exact) way than the general populace. To the point where first semester maths courses sound kind of funny to the students who are not used to language being used that way. Sadly i only have german examples of this, as all of my maths courses were in german. Maths being really far removed from social issues and really focusing all of your brainpower to do the maths also helps with removing focus onto auxillary meanings of language, if they are not completely burned into your mind as something to always think about. | ||

So it seems that the thing that everyone said would happen, has happened. This is a guy committing a crime as a direct result of Trump's overblown rhetoric of war on the press. Trump is responsible for this. A man has been arrested and charged with threatening to kill employees of the Boston Globe newspaper, in messages repeating Donald Trump’s claims that journalists are the “enemy of the people” and “fake news”. Robert Chain called the Globe’s newsroom and claimed he would shoot staff members in the head, according to the FBI, which said Chain later specified that he was retaliating against the newspaper’s criticism of Trump’s attacks on the news media. | ||

Im afraid it's only a matter of time before somebody goes through with this. I'd be wary if I was a journalist if/when impeachment talk gets really going post Mueller's report. | ||

I might have been confusing it with the higher end stuff. point taken update. Yeah I think I just got them confused. I got up really early today so not thinking great. I took that part out thanks for the correction. | ||

Yeah I think I just got them confused. I got up really early today so not thinking great. I took that part out thanks for the correction. yw, I checked and the search cache still has the links I used awhile ago, so I have the data handy here on fed compensation compared to private sector in case anyone's interested: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52637 spoiler contains the graphs which are a very easy to view representation of the data + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/cbofiles/images/pubs-images/52xxx/52637-home-cover.png) not sure what to say, as looking at the graph is really faster/more effective than any tldr I could do. highlights would be that fed gov't pay scales less with educational level, but starts off much higher at lower ed levels. Also fed gov't has better benefits while salaries are fairly similar. | ||
