  • I mean, I was in high school when the cell phones were largely flip phones and that one nokia brick that could probably survive being run over by a tank and at that point the rule was “nobody gives a shit if it’s in your pocket/in your bag and on silent, but if I see it or if it’s making loud disruptive noises from wherever you’ve got it it’s going in my desk until the bell rings”. That still seems a reasonable middle ground in my opinion. That way, it’s still accessible enough in the event of an actual emergency but not usable otherwise.












  • The reality is, most people don’t make educated decisions at the polls. It’s knee jerk reaction to the economy

    Yes, and that’s childish and fucking moronic. Do better. I’m admittedly one to over-prepare in general, but I genuinely cannot comprehend why anyone would CHOOSE to not know anything about what they’re voting for. “Oh, I don’t like following politics”. Well, tough shit dumbass; I don’t like feeling like I’m stuck in the geopolitical equivalent of a high school group project with the asshole jock who can’t be arsed to do his portion of the fucking presentation but here we fucking are.

    The situation is dire enough that no, I’m not saying we should turn these folks away. We need all the help we can get. But I’ll be lying to them when I tell them I forgive them. I don’t think I ever truly will.
