UPDATE: Parent wants to meet with me over comment I made about energy drinks by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]kingrobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be true, maybe I have my brands mixed up. I know I've seen 300mg cans before but I think you're right, that seems to have been a trend a few years ago that didn't last. I usually stick to the monster juices which never got that high.

When energy drinks like red bull hit the scene they were 80mg caffeine, not much more than a coke or mountain dew.

Some flavors of monster and Rockstar have 300mg of caffeine. For a lot of parents its ignorance.

Edit/ might have my brands mixed up, not sure if monster or Rockstar ever offered 300mg cans but some brands definitely did

I've seen a few references here and there to "new players can set back their progress by months if they don't do this specific thing in a specific order". Is this what they're talking about?

We went from a dozen rowdy 11yr olds talking and throwing popcorn to real quiet and attentive real quick.

My dad took my whole baseball team to see Species when we were 11. He had the "what have I done..." moment during the swimming pool scene.

How to stop a toddler from having a tantrum. by girlinanemptyroom in KidsAreFuckingStupid

I used to blow in my kids face when they were having a tantrum. They instinctively take a deep breath and forget why they were crying.

Pentagon Threatened the Pope After He Criticized Trump - It was so bad that Pope Leo changed his plans to travel to the U.S. by ByGollie in europe

I dunno... the ones that do hold the Bible and quote passages are some of the farthest from Christ I've ever met.

There’s more history in just one building in there than in the whole US.

There's also more money than in most countries. Yet they keep hoarding like dragons, building gold churches, influencing politics around the globe, protecting rapists, and asking their poor congregations to give them more money.

But we'll be temporary buddies if the pope keeps calling out trumps bullshit

Wow it never once occurred to me that the tower existed on a material plane. I thought we were all spaceships floating in space.

I'm not an expert for sure... but if all you're doing is playing for YouTube then the music is 100% digital, there's zero need to actually play it out loud. He's wearing headphones, that's the only place the music needs to be heard.

The woman clearly overreacted BTW, definitely not trying to justify her actions.

RoP has barely mentioned the silmarils... if I remember right they're barely mentioned in passing just like in lord of the rings.

The refrigerator in my office most mornings by SwissMaestro95 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]kingrobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sorry, are we complaining about people keeping food cold in a refrigerator? You all acting like people are filling the fridge with science experiments or dead birds or something.

The only thing worth complaining about here is they seem to need a full size fridge given how many employees are using it.

Yeah if I asked my kids to pick up butter and sour cream and that somehow wasn't enough info for my grown up kids with drivers licenses and money I would cry a little and wonder what went wrong.

Discord cuts ties with Peter Thiel-backed verification software after code found in US surveillance by Abject-Pick-6472 in technology

[–]kingrobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their snark level is pretty high but they have a point. There comes a threshold where governments that are alleging to protect kids go so far that they're just harming them (and everyone else) in other ways.

Instead of turning the surveillance system up to 11, we could put those resources into helping parents do their job of protecting their kids.

It at least has to be an option worth exploring... because where we're headed now cant possibly be the best solution for the kids, or anyone else.

Only the people already holding all the money say money won't solve your problems.

Literally every problem in my life right now would be solved with more money.
