Do teachers who do this really think it discourages the disruptive kid

The key thing here is that this isn’t designed to directly discourage the kid, the purpose of doing this is to get the other kids to let’s say do some creative persuasion techniques to not do that again. You might recognize this as one of the stereotypical methods that a military would do when dealing with problem soldier, punish the whole unit/squad instead of the single soldier.

Yes, because it’s bourgeoisie decadence.

No I will not explain.

Look sometimes you just want to order a 40 piece nuggets and be in and out in 5 minutes. It also helps that I work 3rd shift, and it’s like the quickest place (and one of the few places still open) for me to get something to eat on break if I end up sleeping all day before my shift.

I know a lot of people in rural communities absolutely think cops are practically useless, hell we had a case here that a police dept in a small town 10mi north of me got busted for corruption this past year. And everyone pretty much cheered that they got busted because they had really bad rep.

But these people also seem to think big cities are crime ridden hell holes and cops are necessary there.

I probably wrote that very sloppily, but I was more pointing out the federation had always been on some incredibly shaky ground morally speaking.

Edit: the charitable interpretation is that Wolf-359 was the reality check to get Starfleet to stop using the Miranda class.

I also forgot something else, during this time in trek there were some let’s say very interesting interpretations of the prime directive. So if the federation and Starfleet knew about the cardassian’s brutal occupation of Bajor before Wolf-359 even happened, I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if they publicly took issue with it and privately didn’t do much because it would be “messing with an internal matter of another nation”. Which is one of the things the PD prohibits doing.

Edit: Good god do I want to go on a rant at how useless the prime directive is on a morality level.

If I recall, the whole thing why the federation and cardassian cold war didn’t really go hot (like sure they were skirmishes here and there) was because Starfleet was still firmly in recovery mode from Wolf-359 at the time. Which eventually led to the demilitarization zone between the federation and cardassia, and which caused the federation and cardassian colonists in said dmz to start their own war themselves.

The whole thing with Bajor ended up falling into that because again, Wolf-359 really fucked Starfleet up.

Not what I’m talking about, like there’s a whole bunch of localized versions of this and the box is pretty much the same with the name changed

There’s a lot more of these out there, with the exact same box and graphic design. From what i’ve been able to find just from 5 minutes of searching is that they’re made by Late For The Sky Production Co. When I saw the picture in the OP I instantly recognized the design of it from the one that was made for the small local city where I live.

I know you’re all laughing at the name of this board game, but these knock off monopoly board games are pretty god damn depressing, and just not funny at all if you actually look into it. Especially since I know there’s a lot more of these local themed monopoly games out there, and in practically the nearly the exact same box and graphic design. The one in the OP is for Cumming, GA.

f35 is supposed to be stealthy but China can already track it.

You do know that’s pretty normal for stealth fighters, right?

Like to explain this as far as I know the F-117 is to date still the fighter that is the most stealthy, and it still technically shows up on radars, just that it’s radar signature is a lot smaller than a normal jet. Which how stealth fighters work is that they minimize the radar signature that is received back by radar systems, either by shape (which is why the F-117 looks the way it does), and or special coating on the panels itself which absorb the radar signals being sent out by the radar installation on the ground or from other aircraft. The point of it to essentially trick the other guy into thinking that what they’re reading on radar isn’t a fighter jet. And this doesn’t get into the several ways you can essentially trick the opposing radar into not seeing you regardless of the plane doing it is a stealth fighter or not.

There’s plenty to dunk on with the F-35 (like all the cost overruns, the fact that it seems to only be able to fly in good weather), but saying that anyone can track is incredibly misleading.

Okay, at the risk of being that person, the F-35 loses in a stand up fight because it’s not designed in a doctrine sense to get in stand up fights. On paper it’s designed to leverage its status as a stealth fighter to avoid those stand up fights by either avoiding them entirely or get one of the most important things in a A2A engagement, getting the first missile salvo off.

So regardless on how actually good the F-35 is, having it’s blueprints to have the knowledge on how to counteract it is still incredibly useful in case it happens to be very good for what it’s designed to do.

“Catch a guuuuuun! Ugh, I’m never doing that again.”

US government skulking in the corner furiously scribbling notes

What are you talking about? This is already overwhelmingly the reality in manufacturing (I really should go into detail how turbo fucked working manufacturing in the US is one of these days), service, and there’s probably a couple other industries where this is the case.

The only times I’ve ever seen someone work 5 days or less out here in the rural area I live in, is either they’re still living with their parents or have roommates, or they’re like one of the most reliable workers at their workplace and thus their boss wants to keep them around and let’s them have that.

Of course not, especially if you know the main reason why the japanese internment happened in the first place.

This is pretty much reaffirming my position that the only mercy and compassion that evangelicals should ever get is the wall.

In actuality it was always about maintaining a legal and socially acceptable avenue for continuing this country’s legacy of racism and slavery.

Sorta, in actuality it was created with the intent to get around the 1st amendment protections and silence the civil rights and anti war dissenters of the time, the relevant quote about this is below. After the Vietnam War ended and the Civil Rights Act got passed it turned into what you describe it is today.

"You want to know what this was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

Sounds more like everyone used [realname][number] as their password because IT decided that changing your password every couple months is the most “secure”. Even though it’s not and causes [realname][number] passwords in the first place.

So, how were each of your Corvettes best Corvette?

Meanwhile in manufacturing: “First time working 6 (or 7) days a week?”

edit: I sympathize with anyone having to work a 6th day in a week under normal circumstances, but tbh my ability to sympathize goes out the window when I’m staring down a 6 day week this week, and had a 7 day week last week.
