There are people who are still using toilet paper purchased during the pandemic.

  • Thank you Internet stranger for the gift of your amusing poop-a-saurous story. It was just what I needed. 👍

    • Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout

    Jump

  • Normally that's exactly what they would do if enough students destroyed their computers to blow through the loaners. The frustrating thing is this is happening right when schools are set to do state testing and state testing is mostly online now. This requires every student in the building to have a device at the same time. Normally all the loaners would be for kids who forgot theirs that day.

    • Do you think law enforcement should use encryption on their radios (for security purposes)? Or should they not be allowed to encrypt their communications (for transparency purposes)? Why?

    Jump

  • Overall I am always for more transparency with those in positions of authority. I will offer a piece of anecdotal evidence why encrypted radios might be used, besides the personal details that everyone mentions.

    I work in a small high school (14 - 18 YO) in the USA. In lieu actually tackling the problem of school violence, out state has mandated a police officer in every school. (Without funding it, of course, but that's another post.)

    Our SRO (School Resource Officer) is completely awesome and happens to be female. Before she worked for the school, she worked a regular patrol. On patrol she says she would regularly be at a scene and look up to find a random guy (always a guy) sitting in his car watching. She questioned several, "Why are you here?" And the answer was always super creepy. Basically "You are a small girl out here all alone. I'm just trying to keep you safe."

    So for that encrypted radios would help disperse the stalkers with scanners.

    • What's the dumbest blockbuster movie you have seen that somehow received high praise?

    Jump

  • Oh, I'm so glad you were not a fan. I thought I was the only one. The hype from friends was overwhelming, and I was excited to see it. BUT my wife and I couldn't finish the movie. The idea that she was THE worst version of herself was interesting, but everything else was just absurd.

    • What would you name your Communist inspired Fantasy Football League?

    Jump

  • I'm a fan of alliteration so....The People's Pigskin, or Iron Curtain Carriers.

    • Andrew Tate loses appeal against ruling that stops him leaving Romania

    Jump

  • Not contradicting, but sharing my perspective. I teach 14 - 18 year olds in the USA, 80% of which are male. Andrew Tate peaked in their discussions about the time of his 1st arrest. (Was that last year?) I rarely hear about him anymore and really none this past school year.

    If the current conversations I'm constantly battling are any indication, then the content algorithms are mainly serving up Jewish hate. Though surprisingly those comments are not tied to current events in Israel and Gaza.
