If they wanted to do anything about pedophiles, they could.

Motherless is in the Netherlands, an EU country, right? A website that has hosted child pornography for more than a decade (Amanda Todd killed herself in 2012)? They took it down for a little while after that whole “global network of guys raping their sleeping partners and uploading it” thing earlier this year, but it’s up again. I doubt it would take more than 10 minutes to find illegal content on there right now.

It’s all a farce. It’s entirely possible to target individuals making and distributing CSAM, but it’s much easier to do nothing and use it as an excuse to spy on citizens.

The interpretation I’ve heard is that the Devil does genuinely lose, because he doesn’t understand the cultural aspects of what it means to “fiddle.”

Like, what’s the difference between a fiddle and a violin? They’re the same instrument, but played differently. The Devil is able to master the technical aspects, but the point of a fiddle is to play songs to get people to dance - standards that they know and love. It’s not about hitting all the notes right, it’s about being the right kind of performer.

Which character are they going to totally rewrite from “nuanced deity with good and bad elements” into “literally Satan that wants to destroy the world?”

What region will they turn into a generic Tolkienesque fantasy next?

I watched the documentary The Woman Who Wasn’t There about her. One of the weird things is that she didn’t try to financially benefit from it - no funny business with donations for the organization and she put her own money in.

The GameBoy Color I got in 1998 still works just fine (okay the speaker has been blown out since the Bush administration but…)

That’s a very broad and sweeping claim. Do you have any evidence to back that up? Are you making that claim for all cultures?

edit?

Here’s something I learned from practical experience - even if they reroute your guts so you shit into a bag (colostomy), as long as you have still have a rectum, you’ll still occasionally have to poop out mucus.

Yep. States like Oklahoma are already petty fiefdoms ran by whatever christofascist can yell the loudest. We have zero government transparency or accountability because the federal government refuses to enforce the law.

Id say it’s more likely to be a trans dude than a trans women. Estrogen gives ya tits, but testosterone doesn’t undo tits.

My first year teaching, they hired a physical education teacher to teach physical science. About one month in, they also “emergency certified” a secretary so they could get our class sizes below the thirties.

States like Oklahoma and Louisiana are working on taking away the requirements that teachers even have a bachelors degree.

I knew a biology teacher who was a creationist and actively told students that the COVID vaccine was dangerous. And he of course got the Department Head job, because I was a queer.

“Fam” here should be replaced with “chat,” that’s the biggest one that makes it feel wrong to me.

“That’s cap” is very 2019 coded. “No cap” was more common anyway.

“Vibe check” feels millennial.

“Drip” is there but it also feels like it’s always ironic. Maybe it’s just the context of me being a teacher, but I feel like I’ve only heard it from students talking about my outfits/accessories - like, walking into a classroom “nice new drip Mr [X].”

It’s a mix of things that are at least 5 years out of date and things that only are said by millennials mocking gen A/Z.

They sell this at Walmart. Pick it up and see if it’s close.

So, you do expect it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t feel like shit. My high schoolers said all kinds of horrific nasty shit about me because I was clearly gay, including graphic and specific discussions about my supposed inability to pleasure a woman, which was stupid - but in any other context that would be considered a hostile workplace environment and wouldn’t be tolerated.

Now I mostly work with younger kids, and they do not have a filter. They say things that hurt. When they say those things, I can certainly acknowledge that they don’t have the level of empathy and compassion that an adult has, but that doesn’t mean it feels good.

Teaching and working with kids leads to emotional burnout. You can only handle those sorts of comments so much before it starts to fuck with you, especially if you lack a support system elsewhere.

We shouldn’t expect teachers to be Jesus. At least not when the pay is so shit that most have to have a second job (which also does not help on the burnout end).

I used to not anything all day, then take an edible and eat all of my calories at once. Depending on stress, sometimes I regress to only being able to eat a few safe foods (when it’s really bad - only the pizza and nacho lunchables), and weed usually helps there.

Since I had stomach surgery recently and have to eat small things frequently, I bought a shit ton of bulk snacks and I always keep some with me. I also gave myself permission to buy bottled water. It’s helped a lot to have little things on hand, so I don’t have to interrupt whatever I’m doing to eat. I just grab some goldfish crackers and a water bottle out of my backpack and then I’m good to go.

You could get 67 hours of content pretty easily on Grindr with about a week of effort. Now, getting them to film it in 4k might be tricky, it’s usually blurry shots of them jerking it in the bathroom.

(Edit) Actually, scratch that, this is a few months worth. Maybe I keep getting guys with shitty cameras.

Bro, the parents at the school I taught at had the schools number blocked (if they had cell service at all) because they didn’t want to hear about their children beating the shit out of other children, or destroying school property, or smoking pot….

I had a pizza party once. I got paid $2200 a month and already spent at least $50 a month on supplies (kinda hard to teach chemistry if you don’t have chemicals…) I gave one of my class a pizza party, spent more than a hundred dollars.

Did any of them thank me? LOL. No, they complained because they could only have one slice.

It’s like the “social contagion” and “rapid onset gender dysphoria” bullshit. Somehow being repeatedly told that you just need to be happy being a girl/boy is cancelled out instantly by seeing a trans person exist. Then they pretend that you just walk into a gender clinic and leave with a HRT script and a surgery appointment.

And now, even if you do get the error code, Google and DuckDuckGo are so shit that they’ll find only AI generated slop pages instead of the forum posts with the solution.
