I distinctly remember a parody commercial (probably SNL) from years ago where they had something like 18 blades on a razor, and it showed animation of each blade cutting the hair shorter. Something about how it just kept exaggerating it further and further.

Al Jaffee of MAD magazine invented the multiblade razor in 1979.

I almost want it to be true because conservative kids almost invariably become leftist once they realize not everyone has their exact upbringing. That kid just needs to read, like, an American Girl book set during the depression and she'll be the next Emma Goldman.

Denver that 13 year old who spoke at the Republican Convention beck in 2008 or whatever? Full on socialist once he hit college.

Do not know of likelihood of that, I only know it's probably more likely that this wasn't written by an American kid (or adult for that matter) or even originally posted by an American. Also more likely it's some Canadian's take on current politics in the US for what reason anyone would go to these lengths remains a mystery

e: could be a Canadian transplant, I went to high school with one kid who was from Newfoundland who came with his family all the way down to Texas and he spelled things like that like one would expect

My headcanon is that the movie Favourite is going to change how Americans spell that word forever, because it's an exceptional movie, and Olivia Colman is fantastic in it, and everyone should watch it, thank you for listening.

quote:

A male colleague was making fun of the #metoo movement a few days ago, and many more (I’m one of 5 women in a department of 200 men) joined in. So I raised my voice and said I was glad women were speaking up about sexual harassment and assault and that I hoped that everyone who perpetuated this toxic behavior got taken down.

“Yeah but it’s a trend now, lots of them are just saying it for their 15 minutes of fame.” He then continued to say that he didn’t know anyone who had been harassed or any man who had done it.

I asked him if he had a daughter. He did. I asked him how old she was. She was was 17. I told him I’d bet my rent money that his daughter had experienced sexual harassment.

“That’s impossible.”

“Did you ask her?”

“No.”

“Well then, do it.”

The next day, he came in the office with five bouquets of flowers for all the women in our department, including me. He publicly apologized for making fun of sexual harassment and for making our lives harder by doing so. He said that he simply hadn’t known how widespread it was. Apparently, his daughter deals with it very regularly. She hadn’t told him because of the way he spoke about assault cases that were on the news. She thought he’d think less of her if she’d mention it. It was her idea that he should make a public announcement. He said he felt like a bad father.

I said: “You were. Same goes for everyone who laughed with you. Be better, now you know better. And educate other men that still think the same way you did yesterday. And next time someone tells you about an experience they have, don’t automatically assume that because you haven’t seen it, it’s not true. That kind of willful ignorance is why we still deal with this poo poo.”

He also offered to pay my rent as that was part of the bet, but I told him I’d rather have him put effort in being a person his daughter and wife could be proud of.

Lady, don't I wish, but you made this poo poo up.

We have year-round schools where I live and the kids are all on different tracks, so at any given time some group of kids is out of school for two or three weeks (rather than being out for 3 months in the summer). Seeing kids out and around during the school year ain't no big thang, seriously.

Welp, that's my contribution to this STDH story.

The girl's knowledge of maths ends with knowing how to say that fake law number. It's like in that movie with Jim Belushi, where his fake daughter is illiterate but can spell one big word to impress people.

We had the same thing when I was in junior high in the early nineties.

We'd still get hassled by the olds at the grocery store closest to the school all the time. Even though the schedule had been in place for years and we were replaced monthly by other kids.
