    When I was an analyst, I couldn't get out of a meeting on time because every ass kisser felt obligated to add his input so as not to be overlooked.

    As a teacher, I can't get out of a meeting because every comment has to be followed by 15 mins of dumbass, irrelevant conversation.

    Just shut the f up and we'll be able to leave.

    I talk with college students about "markers of adulthood". 

    Knowing the difference between having something to say and 'having to say something' is near the top of the list. 

    (also? Differentiating between 'can' and 'should')

    Oklahoma's Department of Education announces a partnership with PragerU Kids earlier this week as State Superintendent Ryan Walters said it offers educators more options. Several days later, Oklahoma's biggest school districts tell DoE/Walters to fuck off and they're not going to use them.

    I know you're not talking about this girl.  She seems smart as a whip (and apparently was an All-SEC scholar at least once)

    Didn't know where to park this so I chose this thread: https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/06/us/washington-football-coach-pray-resigns/index.html

    I use this story to teach first amendment stuff in the school of education... And the local coverage from the Seattle Times has been lights out.

    This ruling sounds reasonable, as who is against short, private, personal prayer? The problem is that the only part of the phrase “short, private, personal prayer” that is accurate to what was going on in Bremerton in the fall of 2015 is “prayer.”

    We know this because it all played out here. One piece of evidence in the court record was a Seattle Times article from Oct. 15, 2015.

    It was an account of a news conference Kennedy gave before the team’s big homecoming game against Centralia. “Football coach vows to pray” was the print headline. It describes — in Kennedy’s own words — how he was inspired to start holding midfield prayers with students after he saw an evangelical Christian movie called “Facing the Giants,” in which a losing team finds God and goes on to win the state championship.

     

    And from this week... 

    Quote

     

    In its 2022 ruling in Kennedy’s favor, the ultraconservative Supreme Court majority based its decision on a fictional version of the facts. The court claimed that all Kennedy sought to do was engage in “short, personal, private prayer” at midfield after games. However, as Justice Sonia Sotomayor put it in her dissent, “the record before us … tells a different story.” 

    In truth, for years Kennedy sermonized the team in the locker room before games, and stood at the 50-yard line afterward, holding up the helmet of each team, beckoning students to kneel around him for prayer. During the 2015 football season, administrators learned of this practice and were rightly concerned about the pressure that coach-led prayers placed on players as well as the potential liability threatening the Bremerton School District.

    The district required him to stop praying with his players, but repeatedly sought to accommodate Kennedy’s desire to pray, even on duty, in a way that did not exert pressure on players and did not interfere with his official school duties — in other words, short, private, personal prayer. Kennedy insisted through lawyers at First Liberty that he would continue to pray publicly at midfield

    I've heard many times when a man is making a woman laugh in public he's probably fucking her.

    Many women I know have confirmed this theory.

    She's drinking a beer, she's laughing because of him....yeah ol' Sheldon was probably laying the pipe after the game.

    Huh. I typically make a woman laugh in private when I'm fucking her.

    Wait...

    Is it just me or does the dialog seem stilted? It's like there's always a beat between one characters line then the next. 

    Agreed... And Rosario/Ahsoka seems to have zero emotional engagement with her "friends"... even in the animated series, you could get that she cared for people- expressing passion, concern, joy, sadness. To this point, Ms. Dawson hasn't shown that she can out-act a literal two dimensional cartoon characterization.

    It pisses me off that the fucking tour guides had their vehicles so close to the agitated elephants and didn't try to leave. I've been on several safaris and one thing I've always appreciated are guides that have said "Don't fuck with elephants -- read their signals and immediately leave if they show signs of stress." These elephants gave plenty of warning, and I'm sure there's even more before this clip starts.
