  • I once had a teacher take us all down the pub

    Another who decided the lesson would be best spent in the woods and we didn’t get any work done

    Another you could distract by getting him talking about the Simpsons and barely do any work

    My history teacher used to make us role play as Romans and wear togas

    Like these things happen all the time









  • the best answer I can find is that the Olympic committee protested that it would affect whether the Olympics would accept attendance in that city if they allowed it, maybe someone can do a deeper dive.

    Of why it’s coming back - a) Trump repopularized execution, b) Pfizer caved to public pressure to stop producing lethal injection drugs and c) electric chairs aren’t humane and suffer the same issue as firing squad that executioners suffer PTSD, it’s not very humane - being painful, long and often taking multiple attempts until the victim has a heart attack, which they of course experience and then die.

    It seems like the answer I can get is that nobody really likes killing people, those that do suffer PTSD, and the messier the method the more unpopular it is.

    Probably, with a bit of reflection, many people don’t actually like the death penalty when it comes to being present at it.









  • In fairness I haven’t seen the show, I’m seeing a lot of parents say it’s for 13+ teens, and some say 8+.

    It has swearing and jokes about sex. I was raised in a household where I couldn’t say “Damn,” “Fart,” or “Ass.” Two close friends of mine don’t care if their 6 year olds say “fuck.” And honestly, it seems like they have a closer relationship to their kids than I do to my parents (I love them and care for them, but our mode of communication is pretty formal).

    Also, I was watching Urotsukidoji, Battle Angel Alita, The Guyver around 11-13 years which is probably way worse.
