    As a white Hispanic, I've found being visibly white; middle-aged; driving a boring, late model car; and, having USAA auto insurance help with cops. It's like they're looking for a reason not to give me a ticket, like that old Dave Chappelle skit.

    And yet she was also crying in the courtroom and seemed hurt by Jimmy calling the crying judge an asshole.

    The pic looks like Megamind in a Mike Ehrmantraut mask.

    Flight of the Navigator is over 30 years old and Disney just had the distribution rights.

    At the time, I thought he was nervous because Mike might have them blow the charge early for his earlier transgression.

    Or that's when his birthday is.

    Charlie Brown has changed since the last time I read the funny papers.

    Well-acted and great use of sound and color, but nowhere near as gory as I anticipated and lacking in both sadism and ruthlessness. I suppose an ordinary guy stumbling through a vengeance quest is refreshing compared to the efficiency of a John Wick, but the movie lacked oomph. It had the dramatic tension of Bluto fighting Popeye over Olive Oyl.

    There’s no need to discuss John Connor being erased. The last Terminator movie introduced the idea that these are alternate timelines in a multiverse. This was just about the only good thing it did.

    If the district says there is no individual school policy, then it seems suspicious that an individual school has a policy. Maybe the district investigates and later sacks or reassigns the school admin?
  11. Apep
    Especially if the district (or state) has a no-pass, no-play rule.
  12. Apep
    That depends entirely on where you work and the facts and circumstances. For example, in a state with strong unions, the teacher could have told the principal to fuck off and not gotten fired. Other times, policies may violate the law and create a situation where the employee cannot be fired for refusing to violate the law.

    Looks like you missed the last paragraph in the article. There is no minimum grade policy according to the district.

    I still have the option to revert on my personal gmail as well as my business gmail.

    Unsurprising. At my wife’s school, the admin will change the grades after year end to make more students pass.

    John Jay is the college the US Catholic Church hired in 2002 to produce a report on its sex abuse scandal. Easy to see how they were qualified in retrospect.

    Speaking of addresses, one night I was taking 281 down to Austin. At some random place, my wife asked what city we were in. I told her that I didn’t think we were in a city at that point. She insisted that we must be in a city. I explained that we’ll always be in a county, but some areas aren’t in a city. You may remember this story, since I told it at the old site. I have an update: My wife and I are at a back to school teacher party recently. She brought up this story and I explained it to the women we were talking to. Guess what, one of them never knew about unincorporated areas either.

    I don't know if it is a part of hip hop culture. The most frequent users I see are lower class whites, mostly rednecks with little or no familiarity with hip hop.

    Sometimes, when you hear a dog whistle, it says more about you than about the other person. If you associate anything in my OP with one particular race, you either need to be exposed to a more diverse selection of the lower class and ignorant or stop associating being lower class and ignorant with one race.

    Has anyone else noticed that the apostrophe appears to be dying out, at least when it comes to the possessive? And it’s not just the apostrophe, but the “s”, too. It started with “baby momma”, it has spread to everything. “My mother boyfriend” or “my girlfriend son” and other aberrations now crop up in my Facebook feed with some regularity. While it was annoying, it is starting to grow on me. It is stripped down and functional, depending merely on the algebra of word order. Plus, while we lose some precision with the loss of that sibilance, we gain a wonderful opportunity for humor. “Mother girlfriend”? Lesbians or incest? Anyone given it much thought?

    The solution isn't burning it down to the ground. The solution is disestablishing the Holy See, the Vatican, and the Knights of Malta as sovereign states. If cardinals and popes can be served in Italy and extradited, most of the problem will go away. Financial and general corruption by organized crime will also greatly diminish as as the profits of corrupting Vatican officials decrease due to better oversight of money laundering and other issues. If all of this happens, you might also see an attack on "church taxes" in places like Germany where believers must pay an additional income tax to receive services. The idea is that if we limit the opportunity for graft, the corrupt will move on to different scams.

    My dad told me that play was called,”N* go long.” I think he said he heard that on a Cosby album way back when, but I’m guessing it was someone else. He did once tell me about a restaurant in Arlington back when he was at UTA.

    I went over 40 hours a couple of times while working at a Big 4.
