this is honestly truly incredible clickbait and I respect the hustle
who doesn't instantly want to know more about such an inscrutable quote?! why was she talking about either subject (Kurt Cobain or GPS) at all, let alone together??
whoever decided to post that quote really knocked it out of the park with this one
from what I understand, this
parents who are so annoying that they are given this role to shut them up
is not a thing here, which might be because we're in a pretty rural, pretty poor area, and there aren't enough bored parents with enough disposable income
parents who are in industries big enough to have a plan to recruit from primary school
there are no big industries here anymore.
from primary school
this is actually secondary school – my son will graduate high school next spring
I actively read the newsletter every week and have never seen them ask for volunteers 🤷
where's the lie
It’s much easier to lean to republicans and middle of the road voters because you wouldn’t have to offer much
our politics run on money in the US, and this is where the money is: "Nothing Will Fundamentally Change."
hilarious bit, we should all do this
the title image is the beginning of the list
I asked my kid for what the options actually were when he told me how bummed out he was by them
once I saw them, I was similarly bummed. how terribly uninspiring.
we live near-ish to several nationally-respected universities, they could have had speakers about so much more interesting shit
guaranteed that the people who facilitate this thing every year are barely paid enough to give a fuck, I don't hate them for not hunting down people from outside our county to inspire our kids. I hate capitalism for making the educational system be set up in such a way that the person in charge of this shit just takes whatever is easiest instead of trying to offer a range of options.
don't worry, none of the nurses here wear masks
I found out all about it when my mom was in the ICU a couple years ago
the healthcare professionals here do not understand airborne pathogens, as far as I can tell

like, there's so much that is missing from this list, but we have Military plus Drone Pilot, like those are actually separate things
it's just so bleak, the difference between what they're telling kids now about their future versus what I was told in the late 90s is just wild. "learn to oppress, or else" seems to be the sum of it
that punchline to the bleakness of the career options was the entire reason for making the post
reasonable people would say it was silly to the point of caricature to make your fictional teacher cheerleading the fascist police state to be named after the definitional characteristic that made them safe from the repercussions of said fascist police state, but here we are
it's truly ridiculous
the fact that this shit flies year-to-year is evidence of how few parents are actually paying attention, which is absolutely a symptom of capitalism – nobody has time to give a fuck about how their kids are being indoctrinated
this was why my kid brought it up to me – so disappointing
sorry, maybe you can't see the initial image I posted
these plus the others are all the options
so true
the parantheticals are referencing teacher names to tell which room to go to for that presentation – left in a couple so you could appreciate the very appropriate location for the Law Enforcement presentation
these options leave a lot to be desired and make me wonder how the fuck they recruit for them, because it doesn't seem like there's much effort to get a wide breadth of interests and options.
I'm edamame. Jealous?
desperately
dude, same.

those fuckers were around past thanksgiving last year and they probably will be again this year
ticks are fucking thick right now too
Usually around this time of year we would have had our first snow, but we haven't even had our first frost yet. It's been like this for over a decade now.
same here in southern Ohio
we used to reliably have frost in late September and early October and snow in October. there was a year when I was a kid when we got a few inches the first weekend of October! I remember it clearly because of a festival it ruined.
be homo or go home, yo
must be queer to be in here
only aces in these spaces
make an example of you to inspire fear in others, like the Cop City bail fund organizers
(probably not)
