Keeps Using Stalin For Stalling
Secondary School | UK | Bizarre/Silly, History, Politics, Students

(My class is writing essays on Stalin’s rise to power. Our history teacher, whilst a very good teacher, is very open about how great he thinks Stalin was.)

Student #1: “[Teacher], if I write ‘I love Stalin’ at the top of my work, will I get a [highest mark]?

Teacher: “No—”

Student #1: “Everyone, just write ‘I love Stalin’! Then we’ll all get [highest mark]!”

(This goes on a little until another student overhears Student #2 discussing with a friend.)

Student #2: *loudly* “[Student #1], did you just say ‘Stalin was a sneaky little jerk’?”

Student #1: “What? I—”

Student #3: “Ooh, you will so get [fail grade]!”

Totally happened to me, but with Hitler instead of Stalin. And with hate instead of love.

So did you receive a [highest mark]?

HOOLY BOOLY posted:

Of all the stupid poo poo that gets censored in these why does [highest grade] get censored? At least other times it's kind of inane but it makes some sense that you don't want people finding out you work at a McDonalds in Texas or whatever. But what harm is it that people know that you get an A? Or is it in like a foreign country where the grading system is different so they don't want people knowing which one?

How could any rational human being believe Stalin was great, let alone be "very open" about it. These losers aren't even trying to make their stories believable any more.

I had an history teacher in "community college" who was a pretty big Stalin fan. These people exist, no doubt about it.

People (mostly women) who think “male tears” is okay to say are horrible. For a surprising majority of male tears responses, the male that is being mocked has a legitimate problem. I am a woman and used to be a feminist. I actually thought that male tears was harmful at one point. It changed when I saw it in action.

I used to work at a women’s shelter in my town. I volunteered and helped mentally and physically abused women get their lives back together. About month in, a white male who happened to be my neighbor knocked on the door. His head had dried blood on it, he was heavily bruised, and he was crying. Apparently, his new wife had beat him and kicked him out of his own house. I’ve met her before. I very rarely use this word, but she was the pure definition of a bitch. She was rude, she was violent, she took money out of donation boxes in fast food restaurants. I don’t see what that guy saw in her, but he was a good person. In response to him asking us for help after explaining his situation, my (now former) friends told him to leave. They kept chanting “wah wah, male tears.” and stated that a privileged man like him didn’t deserve to have access to the shelters. They made stupid comments about how he might rape the other women and that we wouldn’t waste medical supplies on him. They kicked him out and told him to go to a men’s shelter. What they didn’t know was that there were no men’s shelters in the city. We have over a dozen women’s shelters, but none for men. He walked about half a mile away. Apparently he didn’t have his car either, before i couldn’t see him anymore. It turns out he made it to a black shelter and was accepted. The black shelter, unlike the shelter I worked, allowed anyone of any color or gender in. Even though they were a black shelter, they didn’t see people as “oppressors”, but as people who needed help. I left that shelter to volunteer at the better one. Obviously I was appalled at the treatment of the man in need with only assumptions to persuade people to turn him away. That man needed help, but was denied because of his gender and the color of his skin. Because the girls just saw “privilege” and turned him away with the justification of “wah wah, male tears.” It was disgusting.

The worst time that I heard it was while I was at a bar with other friends. A guy in his early 30’s came in crying. He ordered one of the cheap drinks and asked us if we had any work for him. He said that his 3 kids were in the hospital across the street. All three had the same genetic disease that kept them in there in pain. He was a single parent apparently ran out of money and insurance to pay the hospital. Instead of the understandable ‘he might be scamming us’ thought, my friends and a few people in the bar did the bawling eye motion that represents “wah male tears” Then a few tried talking to him about the statistics of single mothers in America, telling him that he had it better than them because he was a man. This guy had all three kids in the hospital and all these people could think about was making him feel bad. AS a woman, one of my greatest fears is having a child, loved one, or worse, multiple loved ones in the hospital. No one cared because he was a guy. Some older people there said that that guy spent almost every night there drinking cheap alcohol and crying over his kids. All he did was ask us if we had work for him to pay hospital bills and he was met with rear end in a top hat drunks who made fun of him.

Freaking stop male tears. I don’t care what reason you have for it. It’s hurtful. There are real people with worse problems than you. Even small problems or injustices shouldn’t be met with your little joke. Silencing someone or ignoring their troubles strictly because of your assumptions about their gender is sexism an maybe you should reevaluate yourself before you spread your hateful words.

At the very least, refrain from saying “Male Tears”. It needs to stop.

So Saturday night, myself and a few good buds are out at a trendy bar going through our usual routine: 1) drink, 2) goof off, 3) "spit game" at cute girls, and 4) dance like idiots. 9 times out of 10, this routine ends with three or four of us dudes eating torso-sized pizza slices and passing out in someone's living room with a Netflix movie on. I'm fine with that result, and had no intention of ending the night in any other way. On this Saturday night, however, there happened to be an absolutely gorgeous girl at the bar who, miraculously, was quite receptive to my version of steps 3 and 4. We took shots, talked about work, and even got sweaty together on the dance floor. At around 1 AM we exchanged numbers and agreed to get drinks later in the week. I then excused myself momentarily to go to the bathroom...

Queue the bathroom. I've stayed at 4- and 5-star hotels that didn't have bathrooms this nice. Each bathroom has its own locking door, large toilet, sink, and--you guessed it--Dyson AirBlade. Like most guys my age (26), I've wanted to stick my nuts into one of these puppies ever since I first laid eyes on one. So after finishing my business and washing up, I went for it. Pants around my ankles, I lowered my package into the crevice. Glory. I cannot describe to you how good if felt. It was like a thousand angels blowing cool air onto my sweaty sack from all sides at once. I lose myself in the moment. In fact, I am so wholly encompassed in the discovery I've just made that I don't immediately notice the door opening next to me. The music gets louder, the lights raise, and suddenly I'm exposed to the aforementioned gorgeous girls and two of her friends, who have just opened the door (which I forgot to lock). Screams of "WHAT THE gently caress" and "DON'T EVER loving CALL ME, YOU SICKO" followed, and I quickly exited the bar.

I totally believe this because I had a prof who gave us a very stern warning to never put her as a reference unless she already granted it, and that she would gladly trash talk you if she got an unexpected reference call.

I've got a story similar to that, since the last fight I was in was back in 8th grade of High School. I'm generally one of the nicest and least temperamental people you're likely to meet, but on this particular day I was having an incredibly poo poo day and I was only 2 periods in. I'm in Gym class, generally trying to mind my own business and this kid walks up to me and tries to start more poo poo.

He ends up knocking the ball I was half-assed playing with out of my hands, and it just broke something inside of me. I'm a pretty poo poo fighter in all honesty, but I threw an elbow, got punched, then returned it. I guess he saw something in my eyes because he got a scared look on his face, turned tail and ran.

The WTC moment was when I stomped on the ground, gave a berserker yell of "DEATH" (...I was in a rage and uncreative, but it got the point across I guess), and chased him down which I normally couldn't do. He falls down, I raise my foot to stomp on him....and regain my composure, put my foot back on the ground and offer my hand to help him back up.

High school being what it is, I still got a lot of "You lost the fight" kind of poo poo, but heard from a friend of mine that the outburst ended up scaring one of the seniors because he didn't expect something like that out of me.

Not a single fight in almost 10 years though. vv

Alright. It all started about 2 years ago at a lake. My best friend and her brothers were swimming to the middle of the lake because there was a pier they could sit on. So one brother already made it there. And my best friend was almost there, but her OTHER brother suddenly gave out and had trouble swimming. So she swam back to him and tried to pull him with her, but he kept struggling and accidentally kept pulling her underwater with him. So he said, "Lexie, LET GO OF MY HAND! You can't go with me!" And she kept refusing to go and said, "No, Nathan! You're my older brother, and I can't leave you to die alone! Please let me die instead!" and Nathan kept telling Lexie to let go of his hand. She kept refusing to let go, so he said, "Goodbye, Lexie! Swim to the pier where Levi is!" and he let go of her. He drowned within seconds. Lexie STILL beats HERSELF UP over this. She always writes "N.P.H. Love Like Crazy" on her wrist. That's his initials and a song that describes him well. I keep telling her that it was nobody's fault and maybe it was just his time to go. And it just still makes me upset because this guy was like a brother to me, and I still can't believe he's gone from our lives...
