got any sevens posted:jfc selling kids to pay debts lmfao there are no first world countries any more Fun fact; first world country doesn't mean rich or advanced. It means "Alligned with the US/NATO" Second world nation means "Alligned with USSR/Warsaw Pact" and third world are the battlegrounds for the first two worlds. but even used as describing and advanced rich nation; the US hasn't been that for ever?

lmaoquote:“In general, it’s illegal to seize pets for payment,” said Nicoline Schuleit, a lawyer who specializes in animals in the neighboring town of Bielefeld. But she noted that exceptions can be made for particularly valuable pets. It's illegal to seize pets for payment, unless they're actually worth anything of course

It's a pug, the value they bring is to the veterinarian who has to keep doing surgery on it because it's a broken mess from the day it was born.

Tashilicious posted:Fun fact; first world country doesn't mean rich or advanced. Fun fact: nobody has used it to actually mean that in a non-historical context since like 1993 and language changes to fit the needs of the era. I don't super like the "developing" vs. "developed" nation classification that's replacing it, it has a whole bunch of capitalism problems baked right in, like the idea that developing nations just need to Try Harder and they'll eventually become developed, even though developed nations have boots on their necks that weren't there when they were first becoming developed themselves e: e2: you said the first two worlds, not the first two world wars, i am an idiot Shame Boy has issued a correction as of 16:55 on Mar 1, 2019 |

It all ties back to the old European idea that civilization moves along a timeline and that they are the most advanced and everyone else needs to catch up. Thus white man's burden or stuff like ignoring native American systems of govt and ownership bc they weren't European or 'India can rule itself once they develop and the British teach them how' (and conveniently the British get the define what the criteria are for someone else's freedom and also conveniently 'proper rule' = profitable to Britain). Thus the most advanced capitalist countries are "developed" and get to dick on everyone else who isn't quite developed. For their own good.

Moridin920 posted:School be teaching my niece a bunch of capitalist propaganda we did that for an entire year in 5th grade. fun part: every other week had “market” where people traded/bartered/fake-money sold stuff like baked goods or arts and crafts. There was a strict rule that these things couldn’t be commercially made to avoid rich kids IRL from just selling factory-made toys. Popular items included one kid’s commissioned artwork and little baked clay monster figurines a girl made/painted, and various plastic/string jewelry type things the girls would make. Also one kid was good as hell at counterfeiting the money and/or thieving from the teachers and would basically play robin hood for the kids with low-paying jobs Bad part: things like hall passes outside of assigned bathroom breaks cost money and encouraged snitching, and one person had the job of checking to make sure people did their jobs or be docked pay. If the inspector let transgressions go and the teachers noticed, the inspector’s pay was docked, so either you pooled money to pay off the inspector or the inspector generally went hard on looking for failure to work. Jobs varied from “make sure chairs are pushed in” to more complex stuff like maintaining the classroom calendar of events, homework, etc to being the class pets’ caretaker (work-intensive but highly competed for). It eventually got out of hand and the program ended early.

elf help book posted:have you heard of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KidZania Yeah, no. When I was a small child, I would pretend I was "working," but work generally involved making blobs of green Play-Doh into slightly different blobs of green Play-Doh, or extruding tubes of blue Play-Doh. The real work was that I couldn't mix the colors because then I'd never get them apart and my mom wouldn't buy me more green or blue Play-Doh. Also dinosaurs and Hot Wheels were involved in my work day.

Shame Boy posted:Lmao what the gently caress. "Oh I'm sorry, you need to go to the bathroom again Timmy? Too bad your sales have been so dismal then I guess, the bathroom is for winners" One girl got caught taking bathroom breaks during class with a teacher who didn’t partake and there was a loving town hall hearing over whether to fine her or ban her from “market day” next go-around. At first the teacher was kind of annoyed that we were like “whatever” and were going to give a verbal warning or fine the equivalent of a fake quarter. So the teacher amped up the dishonesty of it and watched the class start going full fash until at the end it was the teacher vetoing the absurdly harsh punishments and Scarlett Letter poo poo the class started endorsing. It did not help that the class was probably 85% white and this girl was Indian American. Pretty sure her ending up in tears and her dad, a professor at Purdue University, flipping poo poo are part of what ended the whole thing early. we were all dumb 5th graders and it’s not like I was the wise sage in the room, but the whole thing was not fun after that loving “hearing.” I think her dad reached out to other parents, because I got a lecture from my mom about what little cretins we collectively were to her that week.

Congrats on teaching kids that capitalism inherently leads to corruption, unfair punishment for non-crimes and general hatred of people who should be your friends I guess, rear end in a top hat economist who came up with that lesson plan (Unfortunately I get the feeling that quite a lot of kids probably took away the opposite message, that those people are out to steal your hard-earned bathroom breaks by using the socialist welfare state of the other classroom's bathroom)
