Red Letter Media and Jeopardy sum up Strange New World's relevance.
Public schools are notorious for letting kids do just that using their disability as an excuse. It seems the only reason this kid is being held accountable is because it's a charter school that's exempt from a lot of the nonsense that public schools have to put up with.
Yes and no. In all states that I know of, public charter schools have to follow the same rules regarding disabilities and punishments that traditional public schools do.
I think the biggest difference is that many public school districts give up--they figure it's not worth fighting these cases, cause the kids are just going to come back year after year. So you just pass them, graduate them, and they're no longer a problem.
I know plenty of public school (and charter school) teachers and administrators who would love to be able to do more, but the legal system has completely fucked them over. Just about any punishment can and will be challenged on the basis of "disability" and--often at the same time--racism.
It's a nightmare, and the root of the cause is the legal system.
Have you considered starting a business? I recommend this to anyone who is willing to put in the work. Being a small business owner gives you a level of freedom (but also obligation and stress) that most people can't imagine.
Precisely.
When schools discipline a kid with document “disabilities” (and yes, I am skeptical as hell about this term), they have to do something called a manifestation determination. In essence, this process, often with a psychologist or other specialist, determines whether the misbehavior was due to the kid’s documented disability.
Like you say, ADHD does not mean fighting, stealing, insulting teachers, or whatever, is acceptable.
It sounds like the school went through a manifestation hearing. They followed the stupid bureaucratic paperwork. They determined the kid’s disability did not play into his behavior. THey punished him.
Welcome to living in a society, you little monster.
Don't forget the race quotas.
I was a music kid, not a theater kid, but hey, solidarity.
Even the picture is deceiving. All non-trans Whites? Have they not gone to a broadway show in 20 years?
Truth.

I'm an unashamed classic musical enjoyer. Hell, I've even see Cats (not the movie) and I didn't hate it.
I haven't seen a musical from probably the last ... 20ish years that I've thought was very much good. All the music sounds identical. I walk out of Phantom of the Opera or Les Miserables or The King and I or, hell, even Spamalot, and I'm humming some of the tunes. I've heard several musicals recently where minutes after I couldn't hum a single tune or tell you a single lyric.
I also think that race quotas have led to some inferior casting and, when not inferior, some casting that just doesn't fit for the part. I saw the traveling cast of Les Miserables recently, and it was a pretty enjoyable show, but some characters--most notably Enjolras--were just really weak voices and acting for the part.
Take a movie musical like The Music Man. The lead male, Robert Preston, is not a mincing, effeminate Broadway actor. He has masculine energy. His type is rare to find today.
The music sucks. The writing sucks. The casting sucks. It's not rocket science.
"Whiplash, but football"
I'd watch it.
Whiplash was great.
First Cobes, now Lord Miles?
Hopefully fake.
I think you're right. It's amazing to me, but normies gonna normie.
FWIW, I've never used this name before (not even on original KiA/KiA2), and I'll never use it anywhere else. Random passwords, etc. I do my best to avoid personally identifying information, but yeah, if KiA2 got hacked, I could probably get doxed.
Off now to go like and respond to some ethots "Mm, tasty!" / "Wish I had some of that!!"
I saw a meme the other day that was a right-winger using an alt account with a burner phone paid for in cash to post a mildly edgy or controversial opinion online. The left-winger uses fullname and the same username on every site and posts hateful shit, and is shocked when it blows back.
If you're going to be degenerate enough to not only browse reddit porn subs but to COMMENT in them, use a fucking alt account you moron. I just don't get it. Who does that?
Friendly reminder to be cautious with putting information out there that could be used for dox.
Beyond that, how typical--dude moans online about he goes to such great efforts to make and keep friends, and yet when someone else, ypu, actually tries to be a friend to him, he ghosts you. But, he does get to keep wallowing in self pity, so there's that.
Quest for Glory 1-4 may, to this day, be my favorite video games.
One of my best friends is Indian and grew up in Guyana. Mofo is racist as hell (against Indians). He's great.
You realize there are something like 200 million Indian Muslims? Not counting Bangladeshis and Pakistanis and Sri Lankans and Nepalese Muslims?
Also, this, and the recent story about Muslims in Texas, do an excellent job of showing that integration is a lie, if you important people in anything but tiny numbers. If you have a "Muslim community" or an "Indian community," well...yeah, damn straight they're going to view themselves as Other, instead of integrating. They'll police/bully their own, and they'll try to dominate the natives, too, if they think they can get away with it.
A good friend of mine is Indian. Her parents moved to the US right before she was born, so she grew up entirely in the US.
K-12 she attended a school in which she was one of the only Indian kids. She hung out mostly with white kids. When she went to college, all of a sudden, there was a large Indian population, and that became her entire social circle. This was a group of Indians who grew up mostly in the US. Zero white friends in undergrad! She also got more religious and started wearing a headscarf which she never did before college.
Ultimately, her parents took on her several trips back to India, she got an arranged marriage, and is now married with two kids. I haven't spoken to her in about 10 or 12 years.
This is natural and it makes sense. People aggreggate to like people. People hang out with people with shared culture, shared experiences, and shared perspectives.
The only mystery is why some people can't understand this?
It's Google or Apple. Is Apple any better?
Yes.
So far in this thread I've seen people saying Civ 3, 4, and 5 are best.
Personally, I played Civ 1, 2, 3, and 4. I played the least of 4 and I don't remember it very much. Never played anything after 4. I think I would say 3 is the best. I remember making "mods" by just modifying an INI file--I can't remember if that was 2 or 3. I think 3.
By "political motivation" do you mean "sexual fantasy"?
It's interesting. I assumed my kids' grandmothers would be the most active of the grandparents. It ended up, far and away, being my father who does the most with my kids. I don't even ask him, he offers to take them to sports practices, watch them if we're tied up, works with them on homework, etc. This is a guy who I never would have described as being kid-centric.
My mother, on the other hand, makes a big deal out of being busy, "I'll have to see if I can get my errands done that day," etc.
Other grandparents live some distance away, but FIL is the one who always says "No problem" and MIL is the one who says "Well, we'll have to see if we can work it out, I've got quite a bit to get down around the house, and the cat blah blah blah." This from a woman who has been retired for 10 years and never worked more than part time her entire life.
It has struck me as unexpected and bizarre, but maybe it's part of a greater trend.
That's 100% what goes on.
New Zealand actually got excluded from a lot of the "5 eyes" sharing after they refused to let US nuclear ships dock at NZ ports. So ACGU has even more sharing going on (Australia, Canada, Great Britain, US).
US has major listening stations in Australia. We can listen in on Aussies, but the main targets are China and other pacific powers. But, while we're there, if we happen to catch any Aussie comms that the Australian government wanted to know about...well, what good luck for all involved.
Likewise, when the US needs spying down within the US and are not legally supposed to, we can ask the Brits or Canada or Aussies if they've picked up anything. And they all reciprocate.
Got a link to that? Sounds hilarious.
Israel has done this, and this kind of thing, for a long time. It’s really despicable.
It frustrates me that so many anti-Israel protests focus on leftwing SJW causes, when there is so much indisputably and universally evil fuckery coming from the Israeli govt.
I think you're right on this. WoW is kept alive by all the old farts, self included, who have kept playing for many years. Blizzard does not care about the old farts. What we like--what Warcraft was for many, many years--is dead and gone. Brutal orcs, cruel blood elves, savage and wild night elves, etc., have been replaced with gay furry dragons.
I would put it more around 4-5 good expansions:
BC was good WotLK was good Pandaria was good. Legion was definitely good. I enjoyed BfA. Sue me!
Didn't like:
Cataclysm Warlords of Draenor had its moments and some nice zones, but so unfinished. Shadowlands. FML. Dragonflight. Didn't do it for me at all. War Within. I played one zone, got bored out of my mind, and I quit.
I think I've finally reached the point where I will not even buy Midnight.
Looks like she has Sephardic Jewish ancestry.
/u/AntonioOfVenice So this is supposed to be jeet baiting, jew baiting, or just all around bait baiting?
