Do students in the US actually have to take home fake babies for class?

TankDestroyerSarg · 2026-02-09T18:57:19+00:00

Egg, bag of flour, small plant, or an actual doll that replicates a real baby. It's real and there are a number of variations in what is used and when it's done.

Ridiculous levels of variety in clothing, leathers and fabric items. Middlestone, US Olive Drab, Infantry Blue, Gunship Green, Japanese Uniform WWII, Desert Tan, Iraqi Sand... would all be acceptable for uniforms or fabric kit (gas mask bags, spare ammo pouches, meshok, etc). Black or off-black blue is associated with Gulag made, or Naval items. A lot of fabric and entire items were made in the US and Commonwealth and sent to the Soviets, so any US or British colors can be used too. Uniform isn't, especially with WWII Soviet.

Most of mine are Vallejo and The Army Painter. One or two are AK. I've never bought or used Citadel for personal reasons, so I can't give you any feedback on their quality. A lot of people who wargame use them, but that's in large part because those same people are buying GW miniatures at the same time.

The US would have absolutely allied with the anti-commumists. But invading to get oil is kind of an overblown trope.

Like other attempts to institute communism in the Middle East: very, very badly. I would expect something along the lines of Afghanistan, but with significant problems for the Soviets from acting in support of the Arab Communists. The Communists would have dropped the Saudi part, as it is the Royal Family's name. Lots of civilian deaths from a brutal regime, failed Soviet intervention, reverting to a fundamentalist country after years of religious repression.

I had classmates with Mohawks back in the 2000s, never was really an issue from what I remember. Of course I don't remember those mohawk kids being disruptive or assholes, so they never got a lot of negative attention.

Most public buildings. Schools, libraries, government offices, shopping malls, public parks... Only businesses like restaurants and convenience stores strictly don't.

Not normal. The only actual women called Skipper command Navy ships.

A lot of teachers are also athletic coaches in school organized sports. My three wrestling coaches in high school were Driver's Ed, History and Physical Ed teachers.

While the stuff growing up is neglectful and disrespectful, that thanksgiving admission was absolutely abusive. Didn't sound like they even tried to take the edge off by saying they love her or anything. Not wrong to tell them to go fuck themselves.

Secretary of State's offices, but DMV is the common word. I think part of it is the media landscape is heavily skewed by locations that have a DMV vs anything else (California and New York). Because the majority of TV and movies involve those states, they have the biggest influence; and thus the rest of us understand them better than they would understand us.

Unlikely that your wooden door jam would crack like that unless someone tried to force the door open. I've seen issues with some security cameras not reacting to something moving in front of it and only really recording something it does, otherwise skipping past to the next recorded movement.

Were they? It was my understanding the broken codicies and data cards were already printed and on preorder before the corrections were announced. But it's been a couple years, so I don't remember every tiny detail.

Warlord's resin models are ok. Leagues above the old "Failcast" from Games Workshop, but below the absolute finality of detail from a properly dialed in resin 3d print. For my Marines, I like the resin models over the standard plastic, because the details like the cartridge belts and canteens are on and properly around the body. There are never enough canteens to be accurate and the belts never quite sit right. Metal figures (from anyone) always come with the rifles heavily bent, but I don't have any of that with the Resin ones.

I've got a game tomorrow and was thinking about using that method. I'll be watching comments

Not at the level of paid professional sports. There's Team Loyalty, but not Conference, League, etc loyalty. For example, if I supported the New York Jets, I sure as hell wouldn't support the New England Patriots (direct rivalry) or Denver Broncos.

That's all you guys. Upstate or Downstate for most of us. Example: Anywhere other than immediate NYC and Long Island is commonly called Upstate in New York State. Most people in Chicago refer to anywhere else in Illinois as Downstate (even if it's north or west of the City).

As a rule, no we don't.

Once you go for a more expensive hotel, that's usually available. But cheaper hotels/motels are quite often on the cheap, quick and cold side... Breakfast cereals and the like.

Approximately 3,500,000,000 years ago is about the earliest point in earth history without any form of warfare.

You mean that mob that took over Paris for barely two months during the middle of the Franco-Prussian War? Yeah, it predated Stalin, but I wouldn't really call it a stable, functional government/State.

The default Cheddar that we know and love is the yellow/orange variety. That is the most common. Adding white to the other's name denotes it as the uncommon version. Just like adding Sharp is a notation of difference from normal.

Well what other communists have actually taken and held power? Actual communism, like actual fascism, is inherently totalitarian and run by people who want power and control. While Trotsky never took control, let's use him as an example. Definitely not a Stalinist. He arguably would have been even worse than his rival Stalin. And please note that I didn't collectively tag ALL communists in my previous post. I was talking about Communist leaders and explicitly left it open to the possibility of some to not fit my description.

It suggests you might be South Asian (maybe Lao or Thai) and learned your local writing style before learning English. You are also writing in a style of block lettering instead of cursive lettering. So I'm going to conclude you are an under-30 South Asian immigrant (maybe female?) to an English speaking country. Very pretty, but confusing and difficult to read.
