I'd say in a vacuum cock and dick are roughly equivalent,

In the US prick is pretty much exclusively an insult, I think in the UK it's exactly synonymous with dick but I can't say for sure.

Preach that no-phones-in-school gospel, friend.

There's NO ACTUAL REASON for a student to have a loving cellphone while in school. Students can not handle having it. They can't not look at it. They loving can't.

I've taught middle and high school since 2002 so I watched this whole disaster unfold. As I've said before, at the beginning I was by far the most ardent supporter of phones in the classroom. Hell, I WROTE the bring-your-own-device policy for the middle school and promoted their use in the classroom to other teachers. But the thing is... I was completely loving wrong. The last time the thread had this argument someone posted a study that showed that even having a loving phone in the classroom was a noticeable distraction to other students, even if it wasn't their phone, even if it was on the other side of the room.

We've decided that because it's convenient and kids want it, we should give the devil on their shoulder a loving megaphone during the school day. I wonder why teachers are feeling so burnt-out and sick of this poo poo?

Hey I'd say more except my phone just buzzed in my pocket and I gotta hide it under my desk to see what's happening. I don't know what's happening! Is someone talking about me? Did someone say something about me? Did someone like my picture? Is it my crush? Is it my rival? Did someone say something about me? Did someone else say something about something someone else said about me? Is it my crush? Did they like my picture? Oh I literally cannot loving just let this be because of my child brain, I honestly cannot stop myself from looking. Just let me check, this will only take a minute, and now that I've got it out and I'm already on Insta let me just check a few more things...

Maybe this Taylor Swift thing is indicative that we're transitioning from the crazies hollowing out the Republican party to a phase 2 where even that is consumed by people just absolutely addicted to rage, without even the slightest concern if it's politically useful.

They just want to be mad, and today OANN says be mad at Taylor. Doesn't matter in the least if it's a useful political strategy. They are just as addicted to that feeling as any drug addict.

They used to call me tricky-kid, I lived the life they wish they did.


There was an interview with school leaders from Tampa and one of the core issues was phones.

One Super was very adamant that if parents need to contact their kids, they can do it through the office. He even had the balls to say it would not save them from an active shooter, which is apparently one of the key arguments coming from parents who want their child to have a phone.

There was a stir on Twitter the other day about some parent freaking out that their child's doctor wanted to talk to the kid without the parent in the room, and the replies were split between people shrieking that the doctor was going to molest their kid and the people pointing out that if the parents can't trust what their kid will tell the doctor, then they're exactly the reason the doctor needs to talk to those kids alone.

My middle son wasn't a lot older than that when I heard him talking to his little brother about his cock. When I WTF??ed him he said that he thought cock was a nicer (milder, I guess) word than dick. I told him that no, penis (the word we use in this house) was correct and the other two were considered swear words and that I thought dick was a bit less shocking than cock. So that was fun.

Years later I've only ever heard him say dick when he's swearing with his friends on Fortnite and thinks I can't hear him. And I've thought about this conversation recently for some dumb reason and wonder now if I was right. In degrees of harsh swears, is cock > dick? And where would prick fall on that graph?

I called a drive through employee at mconalds a pecker because I didn’t know what it meant and my mom had to explain it to me.

Maybe when your kids turn five just give them a pdf of every slang for both sets of genitalia with a profanity index and the acceptable ones in bold so there’s never any confusion.

Personal devices maybe, but what’s wrong with managed devices for children? Are the kids going to suffer because they can’t draw boobs and penises on the tablet version of a textbook? And a calculator is basically mandatory to get through non-basic math without spending forever on the arithmetic. These are just tools, there are appropriate and inappropriate ways to use them.

This was really weirding me out reading these because all conservatism is now and what the Ben Shapiros and Charlie Kirks of the world work toward is baseless attacks on people for having the audacity to exist that are not 100% just like them. They're professional Whiny Assholes so seeing them demonstrating self awareness was kind of unexpected. Then the obvious hit me, that these people are huge loving cowards who know Swift has a big enough audience to hit back, so they're just going to stick to attacking trans youth or whatever because that's what they can get away with (for now).

But yeah, LOL the monsters they created are out of their control now and thrashing about.

I heard a 'dusty deevers' is when you're a cowboy and you take a poo poo outdoors and the turd gets coated in a fine layer of dirt. The old cowhands used to call it a dusty deever and throw them at each other, as a goof.
