A Florida teacher told students if he were a school shooter, he'd have a 1,000-person body count

Quote:

When interviewed by an officer, the teacher told police he was a former US Marine and that his statements were a joke.
America loves to train people to kill and then put children in their care. That’s normal here. #****theusa

Hopefully schools will stop hiring former military and national guard losers

Lol someone is just gonna step up and take your place. Cause, you know, they'll actually appreciate the power over others and all that.

I don't know. My JROTC teacher was an alcoholic marine who tooks swigs from a suspicious Listerine bottle all class and he was awesome.

Some of them, I assume, are good people, but we're not sending our best.

OccultHawk 08-24-2019 03:32 PM

Actually anyone willing to be a teacher shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near kids.

The Batlord 08-24-2019 03:34 PM

We should just drown the little ****ers to get rid of all that nubile temptation.

buy some slaves and force them to be teachers

Problem solved

The Batlord 08-24-2019 03:41 PM

But I don't want to teach any kids!

Oh, you're good.

No longer breathing shouldn’t really matter as long as they’re still wet.

That sweet sweet vaporwave....mmmn. This one's my fav of 2019 so far, but it's been a good year.

It does feel like it’s the most interesting genre this year.

I’m spread too thin (like you said) but I like it like that these days. Really focusing deep on far less music is also a great way to go.

not sure if they listen to 12 hours a day or something, but I've got to spend a lot of time with a release to feel like I've got what I want from it

Working at a record store helps but my last job required me to sit in a car six hours a day so I got a lot of listening done. The problem I usually have is keeping track of newer releases when I go on a kick of a certain genre. Right now it's going back and listening to essential jazz albums I missed while also going through some RYM lists that highlight avant-garde obscurities that strike my fancy. It's a full time job and I don't really get to many current year albums but I try to reserve commute time to newer stuff on Spotify that I've come across.

Another city may get a ‘straight pride’ parade. This time it’s pro-‘Western Civilization.’

Okay I don't really care about this story at all but that pic at the top omg!!! Alex Jones literally sent a fake marcher as an ad for his ****ty app. That's literally the most shameless thing I have ever seen including anything by Trump. I'm ****in' ded. :laughing:

Looks like the recession is probably coming, if Neither Trump nor China back down from the escalating trade war. Both economies will suffer. China seems entirely willing to take the hit in order to stand up to Trump. Our best hope at this point is that eventually Trump caves due to domestic political pressure, similar to how he did with the whole govt shut down fiasco.

The Batlord 08-26-2019 01:35 PM

Either Trump ends up looking like an idiot or Kristol does. Win/win.

The Batlord 08-26-2019 03:03 PM

Trump suggested nuking hurricanes to stop them from hitting U.S.

Nashville school bans "Harry Potter" series, citing risk of "conjuring evil spirits"

The Batlord 09-02-2019 04:41 PM

Worst it can do is create more Harry Potter fans.

jwb 09-02-2019 04:59 PM

AOC is only really hot by politician standards. By Puerto Rican standards she's average.

Lisnaholic 09-02-2019 05:07 PM


I didn't click the link, but it's a logical development to an ominous pattern:

climate change denial + antivaccine movement + anti science movement + post-truth politics + fear of even fictional magic = Nashville becomes the new Salem

Frownland 09-02-2019 05:13 PM

It's 1 Catholic school though, I wouldn't pin that on Nashville.

The Batlord 09-02-2019 05:15 PM

I Googled "the pope reading harry potter" but sadly came up empty.

Tennessee is unbelievably religious. I get it’s a private school but it’s probably a matter of cultural spillover. Like adding chocolate milk powder to store bought chocolate milk and drinking it while black in the Congo with AIDS
