So you mean on an individual level as opposed to generally? Prisons using slave labour and such putting GED programs in the system as a bandaid are unethical because they're not addressing the flaws in their system, but I don't think it's unethical to be that bandaid. It only hurts those victimized if nobody is willing to do it, the prisons will carry on either way.

Yeah - I’m probably cursing it but I might have a job

Right now I’m on a crash course with homelessness and I might have ****ing cancer and either way cutting fish is unsustainable both physically and financially

In two days I got two of the biggest maybes I’ve had in a minute

Naturally I don’t want to be in a prison setting but the restaurant kitchen is a comparable covid risk imo

Maybe riskier

There’s really no reason to speculate but if I had to guess I had covid, they called it bronchitis and that’s why there’s a spot on my lung

Also I’m thinking maybe evidence is pointing to survivors having a resistance.

If anything it should be required

It is required for many prisoners who are looking for privileges or parole.

From what I’m reading it’s traumatic for some who had very bad experiences in school the first time.

It’s not only GED though. It’s also general ed at various levels -“study halls” with prisoners who are more educated than me - and English as a second language.

I have experience with all that except for the very educated but I certainly had plenty if students who were a lot smarter than me.

No. It's a joke about how people here have tried to roast you about having a fat wife or whatever. And you said she's not fat because she runs marathons. I thought it was funny.

Is there any data on the heaviest person to ever complete a marathon?

Not that I know of.

I googled "fattest marathon runner" and got this

In 2011, Kelly Gneiting, a 430-pound sumo wrestler and longhaul truck driver, entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the heaviest person to ever finish a marathon, finishing the Los Angeles Marathon in 11 hours, 52 minutes, and 11 seconds.

Hmmm
