    ?? ETA ok i had to search all your posts here bc this discussion is moving fast, i missed the line where you denied that. apologies. in my defense, i did ask several times for direct clarification.

    i mean...ok. yay? P2025 is gonna cause some deep, deep pain for a lot of families, but yeah, i don't think it calls for the complete elimination of public schools, right? RIGHT?? i was more commenting on you being a proponent of it. somehow i never knew that before, but maybe it just never came up.

    i spent a month in Europe earlier this year, my first time. before we even got there, when i was just booking things, making reservations, buying tickets, etc., i joked (but not really) for months that i quickly learned two things... one, Americans are incredibly spoiled, and two, we are totally accustomed to paying whatever the price for those privileges, because we can. i mean...tickets to the Louvre or the Vatican are less than tickets to the Christmas light display at the botanical gardens or state history museum here! 3 nights in a huge 3/2 gorgeously restored historical farmhouse literally directly on the beach in Normandy was less than a third of the equivalent stay in friggin Port Aransas 😆 im just saying...it was quite eye-opening.

    are you under the impression that a private school is not gonna be fully empowered to deny enrollment for certain students for 'reasons', regardless of any 'voucher'?

    holy shit 🤣 who had 'Obama really did break their brains!' on their cards?? oh wait...literally everybody.

    * * to be clear, the subject of that gif is watching a self-fucking device. this one could legitimately go in the leopard thread 🤣

    i honestly didn't think this was where this discussion was headed. advocating for elimination of the public school system. i once again offer my sincere sympathy for those of you with children still in the school/university system. ETA i have clarified that Ana did expressly state on the previous page that he is not an actual advocate of complete public school elimination. he thinks parents should instead take responsibility for that role, but he doesn't necessarily think it should be eliminated. my bad.

    he probably barely has internet or the equipment to access it. i mean wtf dude. the election broke you too apparently.

    so Cletus IS expected to teach his kids calculus?? and bc he can't... wow. it took less than a week for this particular mask to slip. just...wow.
  15. mchookem
    i still don't understand what's being advocated here. like surely Cletus in Elkhart isn't expected to teach his kid calculus??

    well i didn't take any xanax all day yesterday and last night, just benadryl and my beta blocker...i kept allllmost drifting off then some horrible thought would pop in my head and i'd be back to wide awake 😳 about 4am i finally got up and took just 1/4. read today the CO Crisis Lifeline and CO Mental Health lines had a 32% increase in calls last week. and that's in Colorado. fuck.

    @pacmanyou're trying to reason with a raving lunatic. just, you know, fyi. well. another charming encounter from Trump's America...stepdaughter getting her morning coffee from a WaWa otw to work last Thursday, guy comes in, maga merch, starts proclaiming loudly about 'Trump nation! woohoo!', everybody just 🙄 and avoiding him, zeroed in on stepdaughter and some other woman getting coffee, said he bet they were 'Harris-voting bitches'. one of the employees and some other guy got him out of the store, but stepdaughter and woman were both freaked out. she said she was 'scared to death'. she didn't tell us until i called to see how she was holding up today... then she kind of went to pieces telling me. me too hearing it. i told her dad when i hung up...that was a tough reaction 😕 we're buying her one of those tasers. i mean, fucking Pennsylvania, man. one of the states my niece is looking to escape to!
  19. mchookem
    wait... what's the argument? 🤔 if not the state...like who? this is a new one.
  20. mchookem
    my niece graduates next month. whew. sincerely sorry for you guys with kids who still have to make it thru. wow. if all the universities are gonna be equally shitty and modeled after aggy, might as well still root for the horns. or maybe i'll do like i did in 2021 and just stop caring lol i do have my tattoo... but...it will almost certainly take on a more wistful meaning, a reminder of what UT was and what it meant to me, which is what tattoos are really for anyway 🤘
