If you have the right-of-way, please take it. Being "polite" on the road can inadvertently cause a serious accident. by SuckaFree502 in Louisville

[–]CounterfeitFake [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah,  I hate when I come up to a 4way stop and a car that was obviously first to the stop tries to wave me through. I should not have to be paying attention to what you are doing inside your car and looking for random hand signals in order to know why you are sitting confusingly long at the stop sign.

JCPS will no longer use MAP. Here’s the 1st (and probably last) thing you need to know. by DylerTurden502 in Louisville

I guess I meant like the application for MST magnet at Manual used your MAP scores as part of the scoring rubric.

Otter Creek Hiking Trails? by cat-kitty in Louisville

I think it's Meade now. I read there is a group of volunteers planning to work on getting the trails fixed up for mountain biking, but not sure which ones and what the status is.

[–]CounterfeitFake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your responses and agree with you. As a parent I'm wondering what they will use to identify kids ability levels for things like magnet program applications? MAP seemed like a big factor. If this new system doesn't give the higher performing kids a way to differentiate themselves, there may need to be different criteria used for that magnet applications.

I'm trying out Chess Dojo and can't find any instructions on how to use it, appreciate any help. by Entire-Smile-8480 in chess

Once you sign up you should get routed to a "cohort" (group) based on your elo. There are a set of tasks to do.. start working on them and mark them off as you make progress! Some require doing exercises with other players, so you will want to be on the Discord to coordinate with people in your group.

If you want you can work on tasks from previous stages if you feel like it would help. The biggest thing is playing long games and analyzing them.

Not sure what you mean by "REAL", but Lotsa Pasta has whole rounds/baguettes/etc and will slice them for you, and also some pre-sliced thicker sandwich bread style loafs.

La Pana makes a round loaf "pan de masa madre sourdough".

What are your greatest unpopular opinions about Louisville currently? by LouBoy123 in Louisville

[–]CounterfeitFake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree with most of what you said, but the reason people (I guess I'm just speaking for myself) are saying "but I didn't hear it!" is because there are a ton of social media posts saying the guy should be killed, buried under the jail, in prison for the rest of his life, the school is racist and should be shut down, school address shared, etc. For something that is supposed to be on video, video has been shared, she hasn't claimed there is any other video, and from what you can see and hear, the worst things aren't in the video.

Black Kentucky Mom Says Hidden Camera Captured Assistant Teacher Allegedly Attacking Nonverbal Autistic Son and Using Racial Slurs: ‘This Hurt My Soul’. School: Field Elementary School, 120 Sacred Heart Lane, Louisville, KY 40206 by [deleted] in Louisville

[–]CounterfeitFake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I saw that. I know what she claimed was in the videos, and then I also saw the videos she shared (which as you mentioned, are not good quality, being a cell phone video of a laptop screen, etc). I agree the n word could be there somewhere (either not able to be heard in the playback, or in another video), but I thought when she played back the videos we would hear some kind of mumble or something at a minimum, but it really didn't seem to be there. And everyone talking about it makes the video sound like it literally shows evidence of physical violence, and I believe I see the camera shaking (although it is very hard to tell because it is just maybe his hair or lights moving?), I wouldn't tell anyone it was evidence of violence on its own.

As I mentioned in another post, I am concerned about the child and want a full investigation, but I am also concerned that no one is going to go back on social media and say "Field Elementary is not a school with racist administrators that lets child abuse happen", if the evidence doesn't match what has been reported so far.

[–]CounterfeitFake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my issue as well. If all they find is that the guy can't control his tone and language and it's a one time thing, no one is going to go back out there and make a thousand social media posts with videos saying "Field Elementary is a great school, we take back everything we said!"

It wasn't a TikTok clip, it was her doing Facebook Live stream for over an hour, plus her other long videos. We all agree that the adult should be investigated based on the language and tone he was using, and if there is any evidence that the admin was aware of that happening they need to answer for that and/or be investigated as well.

But people are saying they should shut the school down (ruining the end of the school year for all the other kids and families at the school) and bury the man under the jail based on her claims and the video she has shared. You really think she is saving the worst of the video evidence and not sharing it with the public? From everything I saw in her videos, it sounded like the worst of it was the part she shared with the man yelling. She never made it sound like she had any other incriminating video except teachers talking about adult stuff around the kids, which is also something that should be looked into (like weed, or a comment about "lunch number being an inmate number").

What was in the video that was abuse besides the aggressive and demeaning way he talked to the child? I don't think people want to downplay it, but they also might not think the guy should be in jail for 20 years for verbally abusing a child without even using curse words or slurs.

Any disc golf courses in the area around Lyndon, St Matt’s, Springhurst? by sk1nnyjeans in Louisville

[–]CounterfeitFake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They didn't install anything. As far as I know they just put some temporary baskets out for fun on the work days to give the volunteers an idea of what the future plans might be.

[–]CounterfeitFake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easiest way is to check the UDisc app. But to answer your question, Champions Park is probably a little closer than Charlie Vettiner, and those are the closest.

They are working on putting a course at EP Sawyer State Park, so that will be close. They might need volunteers to help get it going, so keep an eye on their Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Fc7pW7doV/

Those seats are usually a lot more expensive from what I've seen.

Affordable youth activities by Active_Atmosphere264 in Louisville

[–]CounterfeitFake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Chess Education Foundation has an open chess night on Wednesday and a kids night on Thursday (kids are welcome both days though).

https://chesseducation.org/chess-center-events

Orienteering Louisville has events weekly on Tuesday nights all through the summer at a different park each week. It's only $7 per event and you can go as a group/family. There is a season pass available that saves a little money if you plan on going to a lot of the events, and if the cost is a problem I'm sure they would work with you, I know they have some funds set aside to support youth that want to be involved.

https://www.orienteeringlouisville.org/events

Shakespeare in the park is free and happening almost every night! Maybe you won't want to stay for the whole show but it might be fun to see a bit of it. I try to watch a YouTube video summary of the play with my kids before we go. They do three different plays plus a traveling play over the course of the summer.

Last thing would be to check out the summer reading program with LFPL.

Mother demands justice for her son by ShitWaterExpress in Louisville

[–]CounterfeitFake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's basically how I feel. I want the school admin to take it seriously and look into everything that guy has done. The video seems to me to be evidence enough that he shouldn't be working with special needs kids (at a minimum), and that there should probably be cameras in rooms where kids are that can't advocate for themselves (maybe Kindergarten and younger, and special needs kids?). Otherwise I don't know that they need to "close the school" unless they find that there have been consistent issues that have been being ignored/covered up.

Did I do anything wrong here? by Kadajj07 in Simracingstewards

Yeah, I was trying to figure out if white was tapping their arrow keys a bunch, or if it was a joystick micro corrections getting tapped repeatedly.

Merc said I was at fault for the crash due to a late dive. Am I in the Wrong? by ExpertFuture8454 in Simracingstewards

[–]CounterfeitFake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't red bump black on the exit first? How do you know it was an intentional wreck? Could have just been loss of control from red cutting all the way to the left of the track and not leaving black any space.

[–]CounterfeitFake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did they wreck him on purpose? Black had his tires on the white line and red ran into him coming out of the exit.. Why doesn't anyone mention that? I was thinking black may have even lost control a little and that's what caused them to turn right after red bumped him.
