At least they’re not Detroit

Your internet badassery is really impressive.

I think you are nitpicking and looking for something that isn’t there, and you’re absolutely making assumptions. Nonetheless, here goes:

I hope you learn to read better. I never said I took sides, nor did I say I let anything happen. I never said I condoned anything. I simply pointed out that, from an adolescent perspective, I understand that if you run your mouth, you need to be able to back it up. Does that make it okay? Of course not, but you're…

Not sure what you're getting at here

Gargle with salt water. You’ll feel better.

It’s been a shit week, so I’m sitting here on the couch surrounded by 3/4 of the animals in my house, and that’ll have to do for the night.

Yes. They should be given a card stating the following: "It's really just a cold. It's like the flu. Most people don't even get that sick. You'll be fine in a few days." Then, they should be given a ride back to wherever they came from.

Yep. Love that show.

For my money, the word "pud" is critically underutilized as an insult

Thanks. Here’s the thing, and I’m not saying anything that you probably don’t already know: kids do some dumb shit, but they’re not irredeemable. They can even be assholes, but they need steadying adult influences to help equip them for life. If I have a gift, it’s my ability to embrace kids who have had a hard time…

I didn't need to be collateral damage, though. My adult brain says the whole thing was wrong, but the kid part of my brain says that the girl in my class definitely wrote some checks with her mouth that her ass couldn't cash.

I’m a teacher, and here’s a story for you: five minutes left in class one day. Kids are finishing up an assignment. I’m at the front table on my laptop. A bubble message pops up from a girl. She tells me she doesn’t feel safe and wants me to walk her to her next class. I’ve got her back, I tell her, so the bell rings,…

Thats entirely possible

It still just kills me to read so much, "Keep fighting the fight," bullshit. What fight? There is no fight. I know plenty of educated folks who won't shut the fuck up about this nonsense. Unreal.

Yeah, it must just boil that little shithead's blood to have to live in a world where Black people highlight Black people's quest for justice.

FWIW, Hurts only engineered one TD drive. The other TD was a punt return.

The only thing that could possibly save us is a plane crash that takes out the entire bloodline. Otherwise, you know they're going to keep running their mouths until they take their last breaths on this Earth. 74 million people have somehow elevated these dumbasses to demigod level and now hang on their every word.…

Well stated, and that serves as a good reminder that we should take great measures to make sure nobody forgets their cowardice. AOC got dragged for saying this on Twitter a little while ago, but she's right. These repubs should never get the luxury of denying their culpability.

I tend to obsess over things more than the average bear, and I've religiously paid attention to the death toll since the spring. If you asked me in September about our death toll by the end of the year, I'd have said 280000. However, we've blown past that projection in the past month. We'll probably be at that mark…
