This is part of the defunding of education. 20 years ago my high school was wall-to-wall desks you had to squeeze to get to, and it’s only gotten worse since then.

Vista was a’ight, so long as you didn’t get that memory eating bug.

Yeah, I’m fine with a black lady basically going "if I’m dei, what does that make you?’

Nah, they’re the ones complaining jesus is too woke

C’mon, Revelation vs Revelations is child’s play. Everybody knows the real name is the Apocalypse of John.

Headline: In a startling discovery, 43 Oklahoma school districts used corporal punishment against students with disabilities during the 2021-2022 school year.

I’m remembering one discussion in particular where he used the Civilian Conservation Corps and other work-relief programs during the Great Depression as evidence that it’s perfectly possible for the government to just invent jobs to be done, and especially now that we’re in the digital age, there is zero reason to keep a ‘conscription to vote’ scheme as military only.

Dang, you gotta worry about butthole surfers too?

I think there’s also an education problem. During my driver’s ed class, I was told that pedestrians always had right of way and we needed to yield to them, which is simply untrue.

Some of the better arguments abstract it out to civil service requirements and not just military. I understand the urge to make people ‘prove’ their willingness to work for the betterment of the country before you let them vote, but I don’t think mandatory conscription would actually help.

Luigi may live or die, but the Adjuster remains

I’m in a rural town (less than 2k population), and we still have fucking DSL offerings available. It’s wild. 4G expanded out here right before covid, but it’s still really spotty and there’s too many users for the tower’s broadband, so it’s actually kinda slow.

It’s strange that suicidal ideation is considered enough to make you “crazy.

It’s also incredibly fucked up that some forms of suicidal ideation is considered normal religious behavior too. Longing for heaven because the world is a sinful place is considered normal and healthy in my area, but longing for death because the world is fucked up means you need to be locked away.

I’ve got persistent ideation because I was raised with the former, but as soon as I stopped believing in the afterlife, people started getting real weird about it.

When I was a kid, I ran my bike into a parked car. Of course, this was back before cars were mostly fiberglass, so it hurt me more than the car, lmao

It’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop at the end. Ergo, I am not responsible for the deaths of those kids.

It’s even hard to make that joke nowadays, because that’s literally an argument Musk is pushing.

Crap legal advice from lawyers is far too common and it sucks. I grew up in a gang area, so I know several people who’ve gotten public defenders. Every one I’ve heard of has been overworked to the point of just suggesting they try to plea deal out because mounting an actual defense would take too much time away from the other cases on their docket.

The general reaction I get to that is 'oh well, why should I care about a gang member’s civil rights" and it’s infuriating that we’re so happy to assume guilt before it’s proven in court.

The most painful moment went something like this:

Dad: Hey, the computer isn’t working, can you take a look at it? Computer: Full of porn popups because he was googling ‘brittany spears nude’

Fathom is more specifically a unit of measurement for depth of water. If you fathom something, you’ve gauged the depths of the topic.

Even if these are drivebys, thats a whole lot of people standing around in the street where it happens

They’re also counting people who can hear it, so that’s a few blocks worth of people indoors and out.

Yes, stop protesting if you aren’t willing to protest the right way. There are no steps to be taken in the right direction, you’re either perfect or worthless.
