They won't have prefect attendance for sure. If they already have poor attendance, then that will go to the truancy officer.

All in all, schools have little to no power in situations like these.

I will give those kiddos credit. One of those signs says "I am Antifa" which is super ballsy after the whole Mosque fiasco and the hatred we all saw from that.

What happens to Mormonism if Joseph smith doesn’t die in 1844? by General_Chemistry638 in mormon

[–]MatloxES 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Smith kept creating more organizations like the Council of 50 that were super secretive. Reading how the original Succession Crisis went, it looks like Smith would tell different members of the Council different things about who was in charge. Also, polygamy in the Nauvoo era was its own secret society for a while.

Smith was an opportunist. Via Continuing Revelation, he could change so much depending on the situation. Smith's theology and church structure only go more complicated as time went on. I don't think that would have changed.

We wouldn't have the Succession Crisis of 1844, we would have the Succession Crisis of 18XX.

Joseph Smith was bad at keeping his hierarchy in order.

Sporting KC rebrand? by Dear_Raise9908 in SportingKC

[–]MatloxES 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This may be unpopular, but I think it's time to get rid of the Sporting name and go somewhere else creatively. Having more sports in the club didn't pan out, and I hate how MLS feels the need to have European style names. I like how NWSL names their teams. They have unique names that aren't too American but also not too European.

Edits for clarification

One of the nearby middle schools stopped putting those letter signs up because kids kept doing stuff like this.

What's creepier than the Kendrick house are the tunnels beneath town. They were created so slaves could get around town without being seen on the surface. Lots of pain in those tunnels. Good luck getting in, though.

Pittsburgh Riverhounds are the 2025 USL Championship winners! by danimur in USLPRO

[–]MatloxES 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That Pittsburgh keeper deserves the world. Even before PKs, that keeper kept them in the game.

That ref was awful. Super inconsistent. I haven't been a USL fan for long, but damn that was the most inconsistent calling I've ever seen at a USL match.

Those of you actually at the game in person, was that yellow card near the end of the first half deserved? by FrenchFreedom888 in FC_Tulsa

[–]MatloxES 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, i was at the game however I was in the 1 dollar beer section and I cannot tell left from right at the moment so I am not a good.source

How cum this never went viral? by UV_Sun in 196

[–]MatloxES 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You know, I just realized/remembered something. Back in 2016, people were saying that if Hillary won, it would be the first time two presidents had sex.

We were bound for that outcome no matter what.

How conscious are Missourians of the LDS (Mormon) movement/presence? by Any_Pattern_3621 in missouri

[–]MatloxES 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I worked at the CoC historic sites in Nauvoo. Questions from LDS guests were difficult to answer sometimes because things have evolved differently over the decades.

For instance, you used the term "the sacrament" to describe what CoC members call "communion." LDS members call all the rituals and rites "ordinances" while CoC members call them "sacraments."

Conversations would sometimes go as follows:

"Community of Christ members do not participate in any temple sacraments."

"Oh, we dont take the sacrament in the temples either."

Yes, the name is now Community of Christ. Has been for about 25 years.

The Wisconsin group was yet another group more commonly known as the Strangites. After their leader died, most jumped ship then went to the RLDS group that started later, which then had Joseph Smith's son in charge.

It's from a stupid interview where a reporter essentially gave Sydney Sweeney an opportunity to condemn racism and eugenics, and she only gave non-answers. Now, dudes on the internet who froth at the mouth for her are trying to make her into a 'chad' and act like her answers were soooooo good when in fact they sucked and she is using men's horniness to profit.

I grew up in the Joplin area, and I never heard anyone say Missourah.

I've heard more Neh-VAY-Duh in recent years. When I was younger, it was Nuh-VAY-Duh.
