? Does the weekend not exist? Worked the majority of my paid hours over the weekend, so that I only needed to take one or two shifts during the week to hit federal full-time, so that my social services case would remain active.

Idk why you are trying so hard to invalidate my experience. When confronted with a situation that you hadn't thought of that unpaid work might help with, the correct response is "oh, I hadn't thought of that", not "u lyin'".
So you managed to work 2, 12 hours shifts on the weekend. Went to school full time attending classes to be some sort of scientist where you had to write countless papers and study incredible amounts while also working 50 (40 unpaid) hours during the week. You should understand the skepticism.

Let's grant your bootstrap fever dream is true. This situation is too niche to consider and the moral of this working every waking hour story wouldn't be a reflexive defense of unpaid internships as some great value in the richest country in the world.

? I was in the lab 30-40 hours a week. Do interns usually work more than a normal fulltime load?
I did 60 hours unpaid a week.

There are not enough hours in the day that realistically wouldn't overlap into conflicts to work full-time, go to school full-time, and have a 40 hour unpaid internship. So your story wouldn't add up.

I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't had the opportunity to train under the labs I did at university.

I worked full time (paid), had a full time class schedule, and was on welfare, while working for free, but it gave me an opportunity that nobody would have wasted their money on otherwise.
And not many are as privileged as you. Most unpaid internships would not allow you to have that extreme amount of free time to tend to your needs while also being lucky enough to be subsidized by govt.

If an industry is that incapable of training its employees and needs taxpayers to put roofs over their heads, it may as well be govt owned.

To become a teacher, it was required by Uni as 12 credit hours every semester that I taught a class of my own. I paid money to work for free from 6am-6pm 5 days a week. Then I had to take night classes.

Twitter doesn't have to do anything. He's bound by the contract and must buy Twitter at the stated price unless he finds a legal loophole - which he's trying (and failing) to do. He's claiming Twitter was not acting in good faith, but is providing no evidence. The burden of proof is on him.

There's a reason you are supposed to ask these kinds of questions before you sign a contract. After you sign it, you're bound to it unless you can prove you were deceived, or have clear and convincing evidence that the information you were given was incomplete and you couldn't have foreseen it.
Ok ty but I thought they could fine him billions for backing out. I suppose he hasn't actually backed out yet and is trying to get a cheaper deal just cause he can try.

It is toxic masculinity to tell men hair loss isn't a big deal for them and they need to suck it up.

It's socially acceptable for women to wear all kinds of wigs and there is a whole shop dedicated to it on every corner. Would be nice if it were the same for men, but we can't have nice things with all yall being toxic.

No, but the "lol I kno statistics bro" crowd fails to realize there is nothing else that will give you that much potential upside so you're not factoring in the premium some would gladly pay for that.

It not lining up 1:1 value on the technicals is meaningless when you get to this scale of upside.

Did you miss all the times he whined that the voters picked someone else? There's also the constant defending of Tulsi Gabbard who isn't even trying to hide that she's a mouthpiece for the Russians anymore.
https://i.imgur.com/zv6Gn1z.jpg

Did you miss that he was the only candidate that thought the voters should pick the nominee?

Him arguing against the use of oil and its inflated prices + aggressively pursuing green energy would be a major blow to Russia. Thus you were duped by Putin into hating Sanders.

He shared a stage with Gabbard when she announced her support for his healthcare plan. Forgot her name when she abandoned it.
