Let me help you non Americans

Jam is a sweet sugary spread, usually strawberry or raspberry flavour. Also goes well with porridge or on a sandwich with peanut butter.

Jelly is a gelatinous solid, comes in multiple colours and flavours, you usually melt it in hot water then let it solidify into a wobbly bouncy mass.

Idk where you're from but Texas, New York, Ontario, and Québec definitely do not agree with this definition and I'm worried about jelly wherever you're from.

Jelly, jam, and preserves are used practically interchangeably and none of them are jello.

i miss schools being somewhat edgy places

i teach in a place where all the kids are basically nice, there might be some bullying here and there but it's usually of the sneaky, under the table lame kind. there are no subcultures. kids participate in the crappy school theatre production without someone opening the door and shouting mean words at the performers, like in my school when i was a kid

i have fond memories of my high school and i think in particular it was because it felt somewhat dangerous at times, like every day was kind of exciting because the school bully was an actual neo nazi with a leather jacket and greased-back hair dyed pure white, most of the teachers, looking back, hilariously sucked at their jobs, many of them were authoritarians who would do things like call their students names or invented weird punishments, so as a student it was fun to challenge them and get sent to the principal's office. i don't exactly want this for children and i don't think it "builds character" or whatever nonsense but this is what school is like in my mind and it's weird seeing a school where everything is harmonious and kind of dull

I'm not sure if I feel that Schools should be those places, and I was pretty miserable there, but I also have stories that still make me cry with laughter to this day, so I kind of get what you mean.

yeah my school was basically an anecdote factory disguised as a school, the one i teach at doesn't really seem like that, or maybe it's because i have an adult's perspective and don't see anything cool happening

All the cool bullying is happening on whatever smartphone app the kids are into these days.

Also it only hurts if the bottle doesn't break.

Nah, I've been in plenty. I know it's a stupid wrong opinion, doesn't change that I believe it though. That's what this thread is for. Also it only hurts if the bottle doesn't break.

It definitely hurts worse when the bottle breaks and glass goes everywhere and gets down your shirt and up your nose. But why would you ever want anyone to know that? Being in a fight sucks and all you learn is that crying in front of people is more embarrassing when you're bleeding.

Captain Monkey posted:

there was a relevant part of the quote from solice that you didn't manage to read that proves, to me, that they've never been in an actual fight, especially one where a bottle got broken. can you find it?


hint: it's the part i cut and quoted!!!



Yep. I'm not gonna throw up a bunch of gore images in the thread but you can google 'glass bottle face scars' and find out how much of an internet tough guy solice is being right now.

I'm agreeing with you bro, I also believe he's never been in a fight

Cuts don't really hurt when they happen, especially if you are drunk. You might notice them only when someone else freaks out or you notice your hands are red.
