Rigel posted:The story is slightly less stupid, but still stupid, in context. You read the article, found out a school uses a counterfeiting pen to check a $2 bill and you think that makes the article less stupid? That they check bills smaller than $20 (or at all, it's a loving middle school) is insanity. It's not less stupid in context because the context itself is idiotic as hell.

Why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School-to-prison_pipeline also in a lot of places school budgets are so paper thin they have to shake down students for the legally cheapest possible lunches. in america the same food is often served in prisons and schools, from the same institutional foodservice providers

School to prison pipeline. boner confessor posted:i'd be impressed as hell if a tween girl could produce a convincing facsimile of a half century old note Or if a kid was counterfeiting, I have a feeling they would do it more than once and probably not with $2 bills. But kids are dumb so maybe kids do counterfeit old bills. Guess what, if they get lunch one day they're going to do it again. If $2 bills are so loving rare no one knows they exist then you'll probably catch them again the next time. Zero concern for the impact on the kid. Like I understand how you'll get the cops called if you buy a whole sheet of $2 bills from the bank and tear them out one by one to pay. Good old Woz

The fact that this is happening right after G20 might not be a coincidence. Even though they weren't alone, Putin may have been trying to give Trump carefully-worded and coded messages during their conversation that should have meant something to Trump. Since Trump is an imbecile, he may have missed it and Putin realized Trump is either choosing to ignore him or he's too stupid to be useful.

This really isn't a complicated point, the article and headline was written in a way to make someone chuckle and go "lol, dumb shits didn't even know $2 bills are real, wow" It is unambiguously, and objectively less stupid in context. More malicious, perhaps more racist, but less stupid.

It is even worse in context. Its not a counterfeit detecting tool, its just a loving pen. Mark on it and if its yellow its real, black then its fake. I did not know they didn't work on old bills before now, and I don't think the vast majority of this thread knew either, because why the hell should we know? Bills don't usually survive 7 years, much less 50+

I just did a quick Google and learned that there is approximately $1.5 billion in $2 bills still currently in circulation. That's magical.

There's an extra stupid part at the end. quote:As a side note, reported that between the 2013-2014 school year there were forty Houston students investigated for using allegedly counterfeit money at lunch and that those investigated are disproportionately black and Hispanic. Seriously who the hell takes the time to track down the origin of a 2$ bill before you even do the lab work to see if it's real.

It is an anti counterfeiting pen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterfeit_banknote_detection_pen If someone is using that to decide if a police investigation is needed is a failure of the anti counterfeiting program if they don't know the limitations of the tool.

Google Butt posted:No, but ban the people who quote them in their entirety. This is a good policy. The twitter dumps themselves are great, but quoting them should be bannable. And yeah, Fort Bend county has a city called Sugarland in it, where a bunch of sugar plantations are/used to be. In fact, here's a neat article about the area and its history. - http://www.chron.com/neighborhood/sugarland/news/article/Ghosts-of-Sugar-Land-9646297.php Let's see if we can figure out why they're using a counterfeit pen on a $2 bill. Here's an excerpt from the article! quote:After emancipation, a loophole in the 13th Amendment retained legal slavery for those who’d been duly convicted of a crime. In 1867, Texas began leasing out its convicts to labor for private companies, and former plantations across the state were transformed into prison farms. The vast majority of the men and women who toiled on them were African-Americans, either the children of slaves or former slaves themselves, who came from states like Arkansas and Louisiana as well as from across Texas. With the Postbellum Texas economy in shambles and the basis of its political economy now illegal, Archaeologist/Historical Anthropologist Dr. Fred McGhee says this was no coincidence.

I like how all authority figures are basically the same from police to the school administrators. "We made a mistake that completely inconvenienced you, potentially could have caused you life altering damage, but it's good now, no apology, go back to class before we find something else to get you on."

This took place in Texas as well so I'm just saying its not unheard of for kids to counterfeit money
