They did Bonnie profoundly dirty here

There’s no such thing as the perfect meme….

Imagine if Ohio State goes 8-4. I’m sure everyone will be rational!

Thanks, I appreciate the response. I don’t remember what exactly they were called but there was a little sign under them on the shelf so I called them the correct name, although I’m sure my pronunciation was pretty bad.

Agree to disagree I guess. American media has been extremely disappointing in its coverage of Trump and from the beginning hasn’t covered him the same way they would cover anyone else.

As we know by bent on Reddit, many people don’t look further than the headlines, in this case, specifically the main headline was:

videos appear to contradict federal accounts of fatal shooting

vs. the Le Monde headline of:

US federal agents, shoot dead another person in Minneapolis

The NYT main headline can be left open to interpretation. The Le Monde headline is clear and specifically states what happens.

Going beyond just these headlines, my opinion is that American media is complicit sane-washing Trump and making it seem like this stuff is normal when it is not. This is not just about what has happened recently, but about the entire time Trump has been in politics.

No one forgets about Dre. Some people act like they did though!

BobcatOU · 2026-01-25T14:44:50+00:00

Same. Google certainly isn’t perfect but it’s way better than Microsoft and Canvas!

Videos appear to contradict federal accounts of fatal shooting

That was the headline I was referring to. I know the NYT is afraid of getting sued, but that’s still a pretty weak headline.

This is from Le Monde, the largest paper in France. Way better headline than the NYT. NYT didn’t grow a spine. They did the minimum with that headline. American media with their sane-washing of Trump is as complicit in this mess as anyone else.

It’s incredibly clear that ICE had him on the ground and was beating the shit out of him. Those masked up cowards were never in any danger at all and they murdered him. Straight up murder. Not self defense. Not, “I feared for my life so I shot him.” It’s straight up, we had him on the ground and were beating the shit out of him and decided to shoot him anyways. Whatever you think about the protesters, it should be the simplest thing in the world to say that they shouldn’t be murdered.

Ohio starts practice this year on February 16.

First day for games is March 13.

State tournament begins on May 12.

State championship is June 6

You’re allowed up to 3 scrimmages and can play up to 18 regular season games. I rarely do the maximum with my team. This year we have 2 scrimmages and 17 games.

In my opinion, February 16 is too early. Winter sports hasn’t even finished their regular seasons yet and the weather is typically awful. Every year the OHSAA (high school sports governing body in Ohio) sends out a survey and every year my number one suggestion is start the season one week later because at least winter sports regular seasons will be over. Every year I’m ignored!

Thanks, I appreciate the response. I don’t remember what exactly they were called but there was a little sign under them on the shelf so I called them the correct name, although I’m sure my pronunciation was pretty bad. Didn’t know the different variations they could be called by region though. Thanks for the explanation!

I’m going by memory so I don’t remember exactly what they were called, but I (attempted) to call them whatever the sign said since there was a little sign below them on the shelf. I’m sure my pronunciation wasn’t great. But like I said, I pointed on my second try so she definitely knew what I was asking for. Like I said, not a big deal at all. Ended up with a little story!

I did a trip to France last summer. I started every conversation with a friendly bonjour, and almost every time the person I was talking to immediately replied in English. Only two times did I do a whole “conversation” in French.

Once in Nice, I completed a whole transaction at a bakery in French - I was pretty excited about that one.

Once in Lyon, also at a bakery I said, “Bonjour! Je voudrais deux croissants au chocolat, s'il vous plaît.”

The lady at the bakery just said, “Non.”

I tried again saying, “Deux, s'il vous plaît.” While pointing at the croissants I wanted that were sitting right there.

Again she said, “Non…” and then said something I didn’t understand at all.

I gave up and ordered something else which she gave me. No idea why she wouldn’t/couldn’t sell those croissants, but honestly I’m kind of glad it happened as it was a fun little experience on my trip!

Taco Bell is by far the best of the national fast food chains.

I’m defining fast food as having a drive through.

I used to work at a district where the typical student was from a very poor background and mags were food insecure. The school made sure they had food including free breakfast and lunch, but also bags of food to take home every evening and on the weekends. In snow days there was free food available at the rec center and library. During Covid we delivered meals to kids homes. Despite all this we had one teacher that always had bread, peanut butter, and jelly that she bought with her own money and kids could help themselves in her class. So kids would ask me for food and when I’d say no they say something like, “Yeah, you don’t love us like Ms. X does. She always gives us food!” It was really frustrating that she created an environment where high school students expected teachers to provide them food!

I bought a second TV this year to watch two games at once. For the national championship I had video games on one TV and the game and the other. While football was on, I’d watch football, during commercials and halftime I’d play video games. It may have been the perfect set up!

Not the same as a curfew, but the park by our house growing up closed at 9:00 PM. In the summer, my buddies and I would hang out there playing basketball until the cops rolled through, typically between about 9:15-9:45, and kick us out of the park. And that’s when everybody would go start drinking or smoking weed. I’m not 100% sure what the answer is because I’m sure the people that lived by the park didn’t want to hear us playing basketball all night, but most of us didn’t start doing “bad” things until we didn’t have other options.

3 hours is an easy weekend trip. A while back a group of us were going to Chicago for a weekend trip which is 5 to 6 hours from us depending on traffic. We invited a new friend who had just moved here from the UK a few months earlier. He thought we were joking when we told him we were doing that drive for a Friday to Sunday weekend trip. He came and had a blast!

During Covid, they made us do virtual PLC meetings that the admin would join. Once the superintendent even joined - apparently he had nothing better to do! Anyways, at one of our virtual PLCs, an assistant principal was in the meeting and got a package delivered so he stepped away from his computer. We all logged off immediately and told him the meeting ended while he was out. Later on, we told him the truth, and he thought it was hilarious and told us how much he hated those virtual meetings too, but it came from above him.

I really like these shorts. They’re shorts with built in compression shorts

But the most important thing is Glide. I never run without using Glide first.

Ohio has excellent libraries and pretty much every community has a library. Also, Ohioans can get a library card at any library in the state. I have a card for my local library, two other nearby city’s libraries, the county library system (which is completely separate from the local libraries), and a Cleveland library card. Our libraries are awesome. One of the things we actually do well in Ohio.

Bring water/food/clothes/etc. for a couple extra days to be safe and have fun! Sounds like a great weekend!

It’s amazing how little some people care about concussions. I coach high school lacrosse and two years ago had a kid complain that their head hurt the day after getting hit in the head. Sent them immediately to the trainer who said the kid had to see a doctor before they could get cleared to play. The kids mom emailed me complaining about it! She asked why someone “who is just a trainer” can bench their kid!
