I don’t get what you are saying? The kids didn’t do anything wrong? Or they shouldn’t also be in trouble? I don’t get why everyone is saying the kids should be allowed to steal?

Yes I have been to high school, no kids didn’t steal food from the teachers in my high school. But even if they did, they would have been wrong to do so…

Is it really a common thing nowadays for kids to steal from teachers? And not considered wrong when they do?

I really thought the reason it didn’t mention the trouble the kids got in was just cuz including underage children in news articles has to be so redacted as to essentially be pointless unless they are the main focus of the article. Not that they are considered to have not done anything wrong nowadays.

I’m not arguing that she wasn’t wrong, I state multiple times that she was wrong. He’s arguing the kids aren’t wrong at all. I maintain the kids also did something wrong.

So, it’s your opinion that the kids did nothing wrong by stealing and eating the teachers food? They aren’t even partly responsible?

So the parents get their kids home and they are ok with the kids stealing the teachers food, the teacher shouldn’t have had food in the classroom since kids are allowed to just steal whatever they want.

Eating a parents food is a little more understandable, though still not something a kid should do without permission. Eating a teachers food, is down right actual stealing. It is different even if the teacher is supposed to act like a parent, though I haven’t heard of that being the case, if anything teachers are restricted from acting like parents to the children.

They may have some legal burden, but it doesn’t mean it should be treated exactly as if they are the parents in every situation.

But I did say it was fair that the teacher got in trouble, just thought it odd initially that it doesn’t mention the kids repercussions, til I thought about the hurdles involved in writing that bit of the article and assumed they just didn’t bother.

While I definitely get that she shouldn’t have left them sitting out, is it not the fault of the kids randomly eating other peoples food without permission that the food ended up being much more “not for them” than it already would have been?

Well, I suppose just cuz the article doesn’t mention the kids getting in their fair share of trouble doesn’t mean they didn’t, including underage kids in a news article is a hassle and barely worth doing when they are the main or only part of a story.

I definitely wouldn’t say it’s a certainty, but it’s a pretty strong coincidence to have all three of those sudden outbursts back to back out of the blue if they are completely unrelated. And even if that didn’t happen the odds were already high enough before making that connection.

That behaviour is very much in-line with those types of clubs. Whether the illegal thing be drugs, or sex stuff, or just the actual real life secret political clubs that were only about corruption and collusion, which sound super tame now, but are already bad enough. And those clubs do very often end up coming out that they were still infiltrated with spies, or started by spies in some cases. Like, these aren’t uncommon or brand new, they have been around for thousands of years.

It’s actually very believable.

Well for me, the fact that an hour before it leaked, trump had 3 outbursts, one to the repulicans that are trying to get it released, one to the democrats about the same thing but more desperate and deranged sounding than normal, and one directly about how they are gonna look into bill clintons ties to epstein… all an hour before we found out what he was mad about… like we didn’t even have to guess it was bill, trump basically told us by having no self control.

So, I guess he got a heads up about what was gonna leak.

Would he do it if it was an initiation ritual/insurance policy to join a secret club that wants to stay secret?

Depends what they got for doing it. Sounds to me like an initiation ritual/insurance policy for joining a secret club… what secret club might they have both been a part of where they would think that was a worthwhile entrance fee?

Would he potentially do it if it was a requirement of joining the little girls sex club? Initiation rituals like that not only make it “safe” against people that would try to spill the secret, but photos of it act as insurance to further guarantee it stays secret. And since Epstein was a spy for various countries, it doubled as a way to control a bunch of powerful people.

There is no actual advantage, they are restricted from competing for 2 years after transitioning, and any advantage is already lost during the first year.

Basically, the problem was already solved decades ago. Since that 2 year period was implemented, there has -provably- never been a case of unfair advantage. Any of the ones hitting the news lately have all been disproven.

Anyone still trying to push for it now has not actually looked into it and believing disinformation spread by, at best ignorant people and at worst hateful people.

No one transitions with regards to how they will perform at sports. People transition for themselvrs, and some percentage of people also like competing at sports. They don’t want to never be able to compete again due to random unrelated or unaffected people not knowing they don’t have an advantage.

That is why people that say dumb stuff like you are doing, get downvoted. Please actually look it up, instead of just guessing and being another spreader.

He is a weird guy, but so far only weird in the normal way, it would be a surprise if there is any merit.

She already has many contradicting statements on record about it. Hard to say what actually happened so far, and we’ll only know if it’s pursued, publicly. But there is a decent chance it will go away quietly since she has already torpedoed her chances of it going in her favour. And Renner probably doesn’t want to publicly shame her, so it’ll only go to court if she really wants it to at this point.

Edit: more info exists now. Haven’t updated my assessment, this was based primarily on what was in the article at the time.

Zhou tells PEOPLE in a statement she included Renner in her projects “because I thought and promised to me we were in an evolving love relationship.”

That right there really discredits her claims… if she thought they were in a relationship, why would the messages be considered unsolicited by her?

Kind of seems like she got the wrong impression and then got embarrassed/defensive about it and escalated stuff.

They probably did get in text arguments, and if any of what she is saying turns out to be true, it would be nice to at least see context. The ICE comment is a weird thing to be fabricated, but I could see it being something that was either a knee-jerk reaction, or potentially blown out of proportion. Either way, would really help to see context.

They are holding the most vulnerable Americans hostage in the hopes that it will convince the democrats to allow them to be hurt in a different way, by agreeing to the proposed budget.

But most importantly, they are also trying to extend the duration of the shutdown, while making it seem like they aren’t the ones doing it. So the deal they are offering has to stay something that the democrats would never agree to…

So they also benefit from anything other than that being what is in the news, but they have lots of practice making sure the news is talking about stupid stuff instead of important stuff.

As long as the government is shut down, the vote to release the Epstein documents can’t happen. Currently if it happened, it would pass. That will be devastating not to just trump, but a large percentage of rich republicans, in and out of government. (As well as a small percentage of rich democrats) so they are just waiting until the situation changes enough that they think a vote would go their way.

And while that does seem both comically evil and too simple to possibly be what it is all about… or wait… does it still seem too evil and simple to be the real plan?

1. Clearly a typo
2. A totally valid use of the word.

     /ˈdif(ə)riNG/
     adjective
     adjective: differing

     not the same as each other; dissimilar.
     "widely differing circumstances"

     dif·fer
     /ˈdifər/
     verb
     gerund or present participle: differing

     be unlike or dissimilar.
     "the second set of data differed from the first" ```

So... "thafuq" kind of attitude is that to have about correcting someone?

Hehe, honestly, I kind of enjoy the forced introspective time. Forced is a harsh word, but introspectiveness is kind of nice. I don’t really fight it all that hard, hehe. I do conserve water if we are in tough water times locally, but otherwise, I just make sure I have an hour free before I go in.

Hypersensory Autism, in my case. But both are relatively common, so could be what it is in many peoples cases here. For me a shower is so much sensory input, I am basically forced introspective. Takes alot of willpower to keep awareness and move to the next thing on the checklist.

Unless the water at the bottom of your shower is several feet deep, the water pressure in a shower is gonna be nearly 0. You can leave the phone off most of the time, just have it there to jot something down. Ideally, you want it as unobtrusive as possible anyway since the whole point of thinking well in the shower is not having distractions.

Mine just sits there on the checklist 99% of the time, and I just made the checklist in the same notes app, so I don’t even have to leave the app to write stuff down.

Lying is his only course of action, he is literally backed into a corner, trying to make it seem like he isn’t. If he makes it out of this, it benefits him the more people who didn’t know how dire it was. If he doesn’t make it out, then it doesn’t matter what he said or did while he was backed into a corner, the result will be the same since this isn’t even close to the same scale as what he is up against if the government resumes with the ability to successfully release the Epstein files.

From his perspective, literally any cost is justified if it has any chance of the Epstein files not getting out.

So many suggestions for putting your phone near the shower but outside of it… phones are waterproof now. I just bring my phone with me in the shower now, and use my notes app to write down anything I don’t want to forget. I was already using it for a shower checklist, since I find it pretty hard to function in the shower. Also doubles as a way to consistently clean my phone, which is a nice plus, I likely wouldn’t remember to specifically clean it very often otherwise.

If your phone has a charge port plug, make sure to keep that in during the shower, if it doesn’t have a plug, keep the port oriented down, or you may have to wait a couple hours to be able to charge after. I’ve had my last couple phones in the shower hundreds of times now over the past 10 years, only had it happen twice where the charge port got too wet and had to dry before I could charge it, and neither time was when the battery was low enough for it to matter.
