How did you get into being St Nick?

I’ve probably got about 15-20 years before I start going grey I think. Got a lot of time to plan this out.

Everyone should watch this video instead. Actual archeologist.

Yeah, this video is poorly researched clickbait.

Yes, it is all about money. I have negative 100,000 dollars, because my dumbass thought supporting my trust fund husband through his schooling would mean something, and instead got tortured and shackled with hell credit card debt. I don’t get an oil changed because I am terrified when I do they will say something is even more fucked withi and it will be 10 billion dollars please. I am getting a second job. I need to be able to make it to the first job.

I fucking hate the car. I want to drive it into the surface of the sun. The ac has never worked.

At one point I knew how to do an oil change. I could do it on my Corolla, because that was designed in a way that a human being can interact with. The 2018 Honda Civic is designed in such a way to obstruct the fact that it is fundamentally a broken vehicle.

I wasn’t dead broke in 2019.

It was summer, didn’t have reason to expect that a new car would not have working AC and wasn’t Uber compelled to test it. Assumed Honda Civic = trust idk.

About $150.

I am picking up a second job. A third one will probably put me at the point where I’m suicidal again, and that gets expensive fast ❤️

If you can help me get to a place where it doesn’t matter that the science teacher is a trannyremoved, that’ll be less of a problem ❤️

I despise my car and would mutilate it, hammer it into pieces and repurpose the corpse as some kind of art exhibit, were it not for its necessity in keeping some form of employment.

So delightful that we have more people propping of the pseudo archeology “it was used for knitting! Despite knitting being not around until the Middle Ages, and spool knitting not being around until later!”

It’s a terrible French/spool knitter. The fact that someone made something on it does not mean that it was made for knitting, because you can do that with basically any set of pegs you want.

Knitting is medieval, and not attested to until 11th century CE Egypt.

As spool knitters go, the dodecahedron are terrible for that purpose. The extra faces are useless. This idea has been explored and rejected, because it does not match Roman textile practices.

Why is this poorly researched article upvoted?

Many scars have been founded around the knobs consistent with the process of knitting.

This is flatly incorrect.

This is a Honda Civic, which is a fucking lemon which didn’t even have working AC when I bought it new.

I’m trans, and have also worked with trans kids. Sometimes outed myself when it was safe - showing young trans men that yes, you can be a man.

It really comes down to “what name and pronouns would you me to call you by?”

If you want to go above and beyond: “would you like me to correct/step in for you if someone calls you by the wrong names/pronouns?” I feel this is a place where adult advocates can have good impact.

“Does your family know/should I use your legal name when talking to your family?”

See the child as a person who deserves dignity and respect, who is in a vulnerable position and does need unconditional support. Which is true for all children. You don’t have to put up a progress flag or wear a rainbow pin - these can certainly be very good things to do - but at the end of the day, just honor the child.

There was a short story written along those lines, but folks assumed it was a joke/troll and bullied the person off the internet.

Like fucking Kissinger.

The evil thrive and linger.

In the US, you can report child exploitation to the FBI. Outside the US, you might look to see if your country has a similar internet task force.

The specifics are not something that should be discussed publicly, out of respect to the child.

The fact. He had been moved from school to school before.

He made his student athletes work out naked and showed them his dick to show them “what a real man is like.” It’s amazing how many news articles leave out those details.

Also the fact that the Governor and the State Superintendent are known to be golfing buddies with Ringalings superintendent…. It’s almost as if Oklahoma systemically covers up the abuse of children….

OKDHS fired an employee for trying to get kids removed from a foster home where they literally locked children out in freezing weather…

I worked high poverty district - like, basically all students got free breakfast and lunch, because so many were eligible it wouldn’t make sense to even check.

The district got white flight to shit. No white kids in the middle or high school. There was one elementary school that the rich fuckers would send its kids to. That school was well funded. Teachers from there would show up in coordinated outfits, the kids weren’t thrown in classrooms with permanent subs, they actually got taught. It was in the rich neighborhood, so it had money - both the property tax shit and an actual fucking PTA.

The other factor to also consider is that public schools in the US have fairly extensive athletic programs, meaning that they spend a lot of the funds to build and maintain things like American Football stadiums fields, swimming pools, etc., as opposed to only funding actual academic education.

I bought my lab supplies. Bare minimum $50-200 a month in supplies. Lab chemicals, pencils and notebooks for students that didn’t have any.

My classroom looked out over the fancy new football and soccer field. One of the middle schools had a field that local semi pro teams would rent out. The district couldn’t even fund busing - we’d have students show up 1-2 hours late every day because of the buses.

Small towns will fund bonds for football fields and cleats; they don’t give a damn about anything else. If you are good enough coach, you can literally show your penis to students and the administration will cover it up, then quietly help you get a position in a new town.

African Americans were supposed to be given the right to vote after abolition.

There was a brief period of time during Reconstruction where that happened. However, many states came up with complicated contrivances to make it impossible to vote - poll taxes, “literacy tests,” etc. Effectively, it was a right solely on paper until LBJ in the 60s. Conservatives throwing a massive fit about this is why we have the insane fascistic Right we do right now - they were pro public education until Black kids got to go to the same kids as white kids.

Women weren’t guaranteed the right to vote until 1920. Conservatives today are trying to revoke the 19th amendment and undo that.

Half life of the plutonium isotope they used is about 88 years.
