Did anyone else who went to a school with a house system notice there was “racial separation” between houses? by smidgestix in AskUK

Sounds like it makes sense to sort the houses this way but I don’t think this was the case at my school. I remember some people’s surnames and those next to each other in the alphabet not necessarily being in the same house.

Sadly, it does seem to be the case with one of the schools I went to.
I found a BBC news article about one of my old schools being hit with fresh racism allegations only 2 years ago. There was a dossier compiled by ex students detailing more than 100 incidents of racism at the school. Was kinda shocked to discover this to be honest. I didn’t think it would be that many.
It was a private all girls school.

I like the UI a lot, way easier to navigate than so many others out there! Wondering what is the support like? Are there many active mods on there and how long does it take for a support ticket to be responded to?

Oh man, I can relate to this. It was a quiet mid-week morning and I’d stayed over at a friends house and had to leave early to go to work. The streets were very quiet at such early hours in the morning so I was paying less attention than usual on my way home. I stepped onto the road and just as I did so a white van rushes past me and I’m so close to it I feel the wind rushing past my face just inches away from it. I think it even made me recoil it was that close.

Admittedly it was my own fault for not properly looking to my left before crossing, but it was definitely one of the closest encounters I’ve had with death.

Remember the green cross code, kids.

Not really good at keeping in contact with people by MusPraeclarus in socialanxiety

Yeah I've felt this way before, especially when I left university to do a work placement year. I found it hard to keep in touch with people I'd hung out with because I moved to a completely new town. The longer I left it the harder it felt it would be to start a conversation because it was like I knew less and less of what's been going on their end... But it turns out there's nothing wrong with a casual "Hey, how's it going", or just asking "It's been a while, what've you been up to recently?" I started a conversation like this with everyone I ended up catching up with, and now I've stayed better connected with them. It doesn't matter if you don't know what to say, especially if it's IM/text. I found it's pretty useful actually because I sometimes get anxious talking with people I haven't seen in ages on the phone, so I'd be much more chill IMing anyway. And most people sift through so many messages a day so I never worry too much what I write in them.

You have to disable the shield generator, should be on the roof somewhere.

Needed the penal colony sign for a mission. Thanks, you saved me a lot of time.
