  1. Nah, fuck that. People can attend a vocational school or aggy if they want to live in ignorance but still learn a trade.
  2. I strongly disagree. A good portion of our population thinks George Washington and Jesus turned the tide during the Battle of the Alamo or think Spain is located in Central America. The last thing our society needs is a dumbing down of the college educated.
  3. Eventually, he will end up like Badmofo all alone talking to a bot while watching a Longhorn football game.

    I assume that is part of the Japanese face culture. It's present in Tokyo Vice as well. Nobody is very blunt in either show. Except that one scene where Jake the gaigin lost his cool at work and freaked everyone out. Maybe Mack is Japanese.
  5. I remember when my oldest son was sick his sophomore year in high school during the winter football off-season. He stayed home from school and then asked for a ride to be dropped off for his football class then picked up afterwards. He started to explain but I told him "Yeah, I've done that myself. I'll take you."
  6. That's one of my most common reoccurring dreams and they are stressful. The other common one is about me needing to get ready for a h.s. football game that is about to start but I realize I am too old to play.
  7. I used to stop regularly showing up for some classes after the first week. I only did this with electives that were low effort courses. Basic strategy was to show up and get the syllabus, take notes on the professors expectations, mark down important dates and then drop in occasionally in case anything changed. There was a Comms class I took that was basically a media literacy course. As long as you read the Christian Science Monitor and the NYT you were prepped for the exam. I probably attended class 8 times. This was before online grades so not knowing my grade I dropped by the professors office. After I introduced myself to the professor he said "ah, Mr. F250 you are the student that never shows up to retrieve your graded exams." As he was looking up my grade he made a snarky comment that indicated it would be a failing grade then said "hmm, you have a 92." Me as I walked out of his office.
  8. An unexcused absence is an absence without a note from a parent or doctor. Missing several days for an out of town trip doesn't mean the student gets an unexcused absence. Still, there is no grade penalty for an unexcused absence.
  9. This has always been a thing. It was when I was a kid and I did it when my kids were in school. In elementary and middle school, by high school students have a lot more commitments that they can't miss out on. An unexcused absence doesn't lower your grade.
  10. Damn. That last episode was excellent. So much intensity throughout the episode.

    I'm hoping to see Blackthorne finally earn his keep.
  12. That's just what your wife says but he's actually sliding her a pepperoni.
  13. The microchip supply chain about to get fucked up again?
  14. The driver should have called a dog catcher.
  15. It was about 30 years ago when I was delivering pizza.
  16. It's not like there is a really long history of the IDF targeting civilians or had the ICC look into war crimes committed by Israel.
  17. In Austin, that would be the name of a very successful Asian fusion fruteria truck.
  18. No. That's the entire point of the Immaculate Conception. The Catholics needed to retcon the conception of Mary to clear up some plot holes created by their doctrine of Original Sin.
  19. To be fair, the first time I had to say the pledge of allegiance years after being out of school I combined the Lord's prayer with the pledge. This was my first time coaching in Little League and I had to lead the pledge of allegiance before the opening game. I accidentally followed up "One nation under God" with "uhhh, give us this day our daily bread and the pursuit of life, liberty and justice. Amen."
