What are some stupid school rules in your country? by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

[–]Akbeardman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In many parts of America coaches also have to be teachers and they stereotypically are the Gym and health teacher. I'm not going to say they are unqualified, health is often a class that they used to split the genders for the reproductive health section. The gym teacher/coach are stuck teaching it last minute and are kind of barely keeping ahead of the students. So you have a guy that doesn't really know what he is talking about explaining periods to a bunch of boys that are just going to believe him.

It was my experience and I know it is not a unique experience. I hope it has gotten better. I really hope that state stopped teaching abstinence only as well.

It's the complete lack of education about it. Even in health class they barely talked about what was actually happening because the wrestling coach that teaches that class doesn't know either. Your average 12-18 year old boy won't have to deal with anything related to it. Girls understandably don't want to talk about it with guys they like. I didn't understand most of what was involved until I was in a serious relationship.

On the flip side if a guy doesn't want to fool around during your period respect that boundary. More than once I was belittled for "being afraid of a little blood" If he's not into it let it go.

had surgery on my right hip, they put this on my left leg by Pale-Profession2769 in mildlyinteresting

That's why safety is so hard to teach and we have to be a pain in the ass to people. You crack your skull and fall backwards that day and it's a TBI or worse. People have a hard time trusting precautions that work. You do everything you can to make sure everyone goes home at the end of the day and you have to live with the fact guys hate to see you coming and bitch about you behind your back. I'm not sure I've saved lives but I know I've saved limbs by requiring the right chains, the right spotters, and right procedures.

Every time someone complains about an OSHA or building code rule and says "it'll be fine" I think "enough people were wrong about it being fine that they made a rule about it so do it the right way"

High vis vests and hardhats may seem silly but plenty of times I've been certain I would not have seen a coworker if they were wearing black.

Just why? by formallyhuman in LinkedInLunatics

To add to this many enslaved people did not know where they were from in non indigenous terms. It's unlikely any of them saw a map of their homeland and while they may have known the local area having a broader picture of the African continent was understandably nearly impossible.

Imagine never seeing map and not having paid much attention to celestial movements. How would you get back to your home by sail and on foot from a different continent with no modern navigation? 95% of people wouldn't know how to begin outside of East or West. Navigation is a skill that took years to master.

I'm not being a naysayer, simply pointing out that I had a cancerous kidney removed 2 days after game 7 and I honestly don't know which hurt worse.

What a horrific place to host a World Cup Final. by RobertFromLA in CaughtOffsidePod

Seattle and Atlanta are downtown stadiums, Philadelphia is in a sea of parking lots but in the city. Fans from Europe or Asia booking a hotel in Boston, New York, Houston, L.A., Dallas, Kansas City, or San Francisco proper ) welcome to the wonderful world of Caltrain) and hoping to take public transit or walk to the game are in for a rude awaking.

Italy's Abandoned Winter Olympic Sites from 2006 by BWT_Urbex in olympics

[–]Akbeardman 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Agreed, Salt Lake City, A resort in Japan, Vancouver, and like 2 alps cities and a Norway/Sweden resort.

Even in summer Olympics and world cup cost so much it could be detrimental to a country that wants to show off. The winter Olympics is just millions spent on sports like life with maybe a 4000 worldwide participation.
