Really interested in the teaching situation.

Are the problems inherent in the structure of public education, or does it have more to do with individual parents? It's sad to think you can see a child's destiny from 7th grade on.

What would make it better? As someone who wants to be a parent, what could I do to foster a child who doesn't break his or her teacher's heart every day?

Also, teachers don't get paid nearly enough. Everyone talks about getting summers off as some huge perk, but honestly, that's time they don't pay you for, right? So, unpaid days off isn't really a great perk, in my opinion.

"costco sized bottle of ketchup"

That's the kind of detail you find in a REAL confession, take note, fiction writers!

Sad homeschooled goon, I had a friend growing up whose parents went crazy with religion--they removed his door from the hinges, so he basically had zero privacy.

“They gently caress you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were hosed up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.”

Uh, what about Birdo? That's Mario 2, so pretty early in video game history.

One of my friends said he knew where his dad kept his Penthouses and we all called him a liar for months. Then he stole one and like 6 adolescent boys sat around a tree fort with awkward erections looking at printed porn. Kids have no idea how good they have it these days. Also the magic of finding "woods porn."

Is it acceptable to have a circle jerk under those circumstances?

Don't men and women come in their sleep when having wet dreams? That's hands free, right? So I would think your brain is strong enough to make no-touch orgasm, right?

What are good protein snacks that will fill you up? Same with fiber snacks I guess, fruit has fiber but also sugar.

Basically, what are like a half dozen healthy things to eat when I get hungry late at night? I do pita chips and hummus and yogurt and granola, those might be the healthiest snacks I eat.

Those were short and we've got a bunch more in the queue and also I'm drinking beer that is way too strong for an empty stomach rn so let's have some more



I feel like both of these deserve that meme where an angel comes down from on high with a piece of paper that says "ok"

can someone post that meme? I was actually looking for it the other day and couldn't google it up.

If cheating softball goon is in Chicago and used real names then I think I know who they are. Courts and I are good friends and there's more to it than I think you know.

I doubt it's the same Courtney but I'd love to know what the gently caress you're talking about!

probably yes. I know a few older couples that actively decided to not have kids and they seem quite content and travel a lot :thumbsup:

Better how? Those are questions almost impossible to answer. Seeing a human life you created and shaped make decisions and develop a personality seems like a great gift that will sustain you hopefully for the rest of your life.

Are foot fetishes really the most common fetish? I feel like it'd be difficult to rank fetishes by their popularity, since past a certain point, most people don't find them acceptable.

Of course I've heard of a foot fetish before, but isn't BSDM or whatever pretty common too?

Do women ever have foot fetishes for guy feet?

The hundreds of hits of lsd he's apparently taken over his life are probably the main cause of his paranoia. Shattering your ego over and over can make you feel very small and worthless if you don't know how to handle it. Imho, he needs to switch to natural psychedelics / entheogens like shrooms or ayahuasca.

Maybe he should try heroin?

Our central bank recently got tired of putting politicians on paper money and is gradually switching to poets.
I actually like it, since all four poets that they decided to use are cool and good, and it might be a way for ignorant fools to at least hear about these people.

What country are you in? If Canada, I would love to see Leonard Cohen on a piece of currency.
