We had one teacher who got accused of molesting a boy he was fostering. The kid later recanted but the guys career was done after that. Who knows if the accusations were actually true though.
There was one male teacher who was rooting a friend of mine when she wss in yr 11 or 12; can't quite remember. Nothing ever came of it (except him i guess lol).
Then there was the photography teacher who spent all his time in class helping out the girls and ignoring the boys. He was always very encouraging of art shots that involved them getting their gear off. A creepy gently caress for sure but again nothing came of it.

The lack of TISM was a small part of the reason I just canceled my spotify premium account. I have everything of theirs uploaded to google play music anyway though so I'm not going back.

That said my FIL gave me an electric leaf blower the other day and I was all "uh.. Thanks... i guess..."
Then I tried out the vacuum/mulch setting and it actually works pretty well. I'll stick with the rake for getting them in one place though.

Hence the term 'dog-whistling'. Although in this case I'm not sure it was intentional. I doubt I would have picked up on it.

Why does the word weeb upset people? (using the term people loosely)

It's a pejorative term for certain interests. For most people with those interests it's just a thing they're into and nothing more. On the other hand, there are those who are so lacking in personality that these interests define their whole being. Disparaging their interests means you are disparaging them personally.

Yeah Colac was slammed by people from Geelong yesterday. Ballan from both Ballarat and Melton.

I was prepared to scoff at the idea of people from Ballarat marauding across the country side since we got almost our entire home delivery order late last week and the supermarkets seemed decently stocked over the weekend.

I just went out to the shops today though... My faith in humanity was shaken somewhat. For a brief moment I was the native american man, shedding a single tear.

The government hasn't said they won't close schools. They've said they won't close them yet and warned that when it does happen it will be for a prolonged period and will disrupt the education of many students.

The knock on effect of closing schools will be huge. Many families will have no option but to give up a second income in order to stay home with their kids and a lot of those families are only just getting by as it is.

There will need to be mechanisms in place to ensure that people forced to quit work due to school closures don't find themselves without housing or essential services due to their reduced income. Enough industries have had to dramatically cut staff that we already have many people at risk of that. Before we add to those numbers we need to have a viable, sustainable plan.

There's nothing stopping parents from pulling their kids out of school now if they want to, and many have already chosen to do so.

Exacerbating this is that a lot of families rely on the grandparents to look after the kids when they're out of school, which in the current situation is "a bad idea".

This is wrong though, you need a valid reason to keep your kids at home otherwise they will be marked down for an unexplained absence. Cool, punish the kids.

My kids school is actively setting up online resources so that kids who are being kept home can continue learning.

I can definitely see Centerlink et al. being cunts about it but I doubt the schools themselves will be actively punishing kids for this.

I already work from home two days a week to help get the kids to school/kinder so it hasn't been much adjustment to make it full time. The office hasn't closed yet but the option was given for everyone who can to work at home and the majority have taken it.

I've worked from home full time before so it isn't a huge mental adjustment. That said when I took this job many years ago I was happy to be back in an office environment. So far people are making an effort to get on video calls etc rather than just email/chat which helps with feeling connected.

That looks like Armstrong st in Ballarat

The gently caress cyclists sticker is disappointing, I know 2 people who are permanently disabled from being hit by pissed bogans while cycling around Ballarat

Well spotted. That is indeed Armstrong Street.

Dunno about the lockout laws, pretty sure they don't have any now.

Ballarat is good because instead of just having good and bad areas (although there are a couple of bad ones) pretty much every street has a mixture of people on it. So just about every rich bastard has to spend some of their time looking at a falling down shithole with a couch on the front lawn.

We also have a fair few blow ins from the big lovely (including me) since the houses are relatively affordable and the commute to Spencer street is not much more than an hour.
