Tennessee House Republicans on Tuesday passed legislation to allow some trained teachers and school staff to carry handguns despite pleas from Democrats, students and gun-reform advocates to defeat the bill....
My ex is a school teacher. She would be in tears at times because of all the "active shooter" drills they would have to go through. Where if there is an incident they have already planned the furniture that would be moved to block the door, and where to take shelter in the rooms to avoid gun fire from the hallways. But more importantly, the absolute shit-tier kids who are a huuuge pain in the ass, who find ways to get under their skins and always have an excuse why the rules don't apply to them trying to get away with anything. But even worse...their small-town wealthy over-entitled insufferable moms who think their precious little child is only getting bad grades because the teacher isn't good enough, and even though the kid dicks around in class on their phones all day never turns in homework and fails tests...the administration makes them adjust grades so the parents will stfu.
Yeah, they should definitely make it well known...hey kids in underfunded schools located in not-so-great parts of town with known gang problems...your teachers might have a gun.
George Santos is throwing in the towel on his attempt to get re-elected back to Congress, after raising a devastating zero dollars and zero cents in the first quarter of 2024....
$0 net or gross? Because if it's anything like a few shady "charities" they had several thousand dollars in gross donations, but after things administration expenses, and a litany of other "overhead" they netted absolutely 0 dollars.
Why can't the millions of homeless people just take a break from being homeless and pop in and out of the doctor's office anytime they start feeling fatigued.
This reminds me of that personal trainer fitbro a few years back who thought fat people were just lazy...so he stopped being a fitbro for 30 days to put on weight and spent the next several weeks going back to being a fitbro to show fat people that it's not that hard to lose weight and get into shape.
The hospital I worked at caught a LOT of flak when they started making people clock in and out for smoke breaks in the early 2000s. The smokers complained they only took a couple breaks a day for only a few minutes. Within the first month they found out people spent over half their days on smoke breaks.
I once got called in to diagnose why it took 5 minutes to open up a single Excel file. The PC itself was a little dated and underpowered, but the file size was huuuge...like hundreds of MB.
It finally opened. There was ugly table-formatting...to the entire spreadsheet. Colored cell borders, alternating background fill, text and font formatting applied to every single cell; columns A-IV and rows 1-65,536. I pointed that out and said the only way to fix is start a new one and not apply the formatting, or to try and remove it from all the cells. She outright refused because she liked the way it was. So I left, and she went back to looking at pictures of her cats
For me it’s Nitrobenzene by OwataP. This one is… make car horn noises? idk man, the whole benzene series is weird but this was the strangest one i’ve heard so far
It was a song I heard from a friend who was in a Music Appreciation class. The song was just counting in kind of a meditative chant and only did it in groups of 2 3 or 4, i can't remember. and they only counted to 12 or something and then started back. so it'd be like "one two three four one two three four five six seven eight one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve one two three four"

Claims they're eating healthy by sticking to salads. Their salad...
Lettuce and Spinach
Bacon bits
Lot of croutons
Lots of cheese
Crunchy noodles
Candied nuts
Drenched in "low fat" (aka high af sugar) dressing
They eat everything except the lettuce. This is literally my mother...I've sat there and watched her for over 10 minutes straight where she will flip through every single piece of lettuce looking for anything else...and leaves an entire bowl of lettuce
