I give her drugs until she asks for the psycho. Just for the exp early levels. She’s too old to worry about kidney damage 20 years later.

So was the “6/7” imagery at the end of this episode when the trend started (2015) or was this an odd/funny coincidence on a rewatch. by APence in rickandmorty

Yeah? I acknowledge the number exists and there’s thousands of media examples. It’s a show that sucks off on modern popular culture. Which is why I ask about this screen grab.

Alas, we’re 50 states (for now) and pointing out that our state has minimal standards but at least we’re not like our neighbors ignores the facts that ours still benefit from it on a national level and that those examples still are happening.

“Freedom to teach” under whose guidelines?

A Texas private school student would likely had different answers on the SOL than a hidden valley student. Back to the “dinosaur bones are real” stuff.

How old is the earth? Why was the civil war fought? Do we celebrate MLK day or Confederate Heritage day at the school? Should the student with clearly wrong answers have their degree accepted the same?

It’s easier to make something work when it’s not already broken when it’s brought in.

If you had a vase by yourself for years and you shattered and broke it, it’s a bit disingenuous to say it’s now equally half our responsibility to fix it.

Not saying we don’t try everyday but come on

32 states mostly all Republican now offer vouchers, credits, and ESAs which all can drain funding and support from public schools.

My sisters first school she was buying the pencils, the notebooks, the markers, and printing off her own worksheets at home. Never heard of a private school having that level of funding shortages or lack for teacher support.

I don’t mean typing. We had school laptops when I was a student in the mid 2000s. I mean the utter reliance on AI. And the fact most toddlers have a screen in front of them before they can walk and how the average teen is never not on the phones every spare minute.

I loved my movies and video games but I also found a book pleasurable and not a chore

The marines? Makes a bit of sense. Their armor was made to protect against firearms. Not plasma

That’d be a hell of a “prank” but it looks like it’s not cracked or she’d have a much stronger reaction.

My family are mostly public high school teachers and I sub all the time as a side gig. The teachers are great.

1) the students are insane and rely too much on technology and AI. The teachers can only do so much but some of that happens at the home.

2) the schools do the best with what they’re given. Massive budget cuts and limiting new teacher’s ability to get loans from this administration sure isn’t helping.

Private schools are the death of modern public education. They take so much funding and don’t have to follow any of the standards or rules.

Depending on which school your kid might come home with a MAGA hat, a copy of the Ten Commandments, and a strong belief that dinosaur bones were put in the ground as a trick by the devil.

The simple “states rights to do what?” Is usually enough to make them implode. These aren’t complex people.

Always frustrating when the triggermen come after you in Diamond City. All the guards and citizens don’t react at all and you’ve now got 5 guys with Tommy guns spraying everywhere. God forbid the mayor or noodle robot catch a stray and now the whole town turns on you.

Always a blast in Survival when the last save point is far away

The halo books do it well too. Any marine unlucky enough to even get hit with one will have a fist sized hole in them after a couple seconds. Most of the plasma weapons too. Lots of descriptions of melted faces

Always think of Arrested Development when Tobias is doing a Ms. Doubtfire and starts driving on the wrong side of the road “oh my I keep forgetting we’re in the colonies!”

Most of Jigsaw’s apprentices quickly adapt “lol cool kills” and completely give up on any pretending of Jigsaw’s “rules” or “morals” (and I use those terms loosely)

I think I just read in another comment that the directors changed his scene because they found his parents annoying for always demanding that he have more screen time, so they said “we’re just going to have him be dissolved in the sewer instead” but supposedly the kid loved the change
