So the cafeteria worker who took the bill is also being suspended? Maybe dismissed. I mean, he/she had it in their hand, thus both receiving and possessing it.

Well that still wouldn’t fly. They would have to have further evidence, say a stack of fake bills in his closet, a printing press, green ink on his fingers.

So what exactly is the child being punished for?

Yeah but this kid is a Christian and like it says in the bible of Mark 26:71; For you was hungry and I gave you something to eat, then thouth tried to pay with a fake $20 and now your ass must be suspended for 2 weeks. So sayeth the nu*Lord.

This is so weird and bad. Even if it was intentional, which seems unlikely, wouldn’t the parents be the ones responsible? How is a 12 y/o supposed to tell a counterfeit, especially if it was only noticed with the counterfeit pen? What’s the point in suspending him? To derail a high-achieving student’s career? Messed…

I was going to say it was dumb the other way. If you really think the kid is counterfeiting, call the Secret Service. How do you come up with a suspension for a 15 year federal felony? Especially if the note is convincing enough that the only way the worker could tell is with a marker. 

Brother Philon is gonna come back to the school in 30 years like

1) This is so dumb.

Yeah, what struck me was how few of the tactics MacFarland uses are actually new. Being seen with high profile rich/famous people to trick other rich people into giving you their money is a classic con game that was big in the early 20th century, and using a big personality and unbelievable amounts of hype to trick…

Also turn off your computer and stop using electricity or driving anywhere or eating food that doesn’t grow in your climate zone, you charming little iconoclast you.

I also liked the examination of social media, but I feel like it really sidestepped the fact that people have bullshat their way into money by promising people high status and a cool image long, long before social media existed.

TBH, I kind of liked what the writer here criticized about Fyre Fraud - the way that it tied overall millennial culture and the social media nightmare in which we’ve all entrapped ourselves into the Fyre Festival phenomenon. I know everyone’s tired of think pieces about how millennials are killing this or that, but I…

The siren/locker room question is weird and seems out of place, given the different tolerance for non-sexualized nudity in European and German culture. Most of the mineral water baths (“bad”) in Germany are co-ed, and are generally all nude. People frequently sunbathe nude in public parks ( a fact I learned on an eye…

Couches have genders? No wonder mine never pulls out. 

It’s a bit disappointing that both of these are proper documentaries, and not suspiciously-expensive 90-minute shots of some dilapidated tents.

I played for a female coach in high school. She simply didn't go in the locker room, we met her outside and everything was fine.

Now couches have to have a sexual identity? I thought you just sit on them (preferably with your pants on).  I think the COACHES just go about their business like an adult. 

“Of course not. I am a pro. I pick [my team] on dick length.”

I’m going with 6th division, but I can’t say I’ve done much research. 

She has some innovative strategies in mind to accomplish that goal, which include breaking down game film with the players, individualized exercise routines, and individual tactical training—none of which were aspects of her predecessor’s management.
