  • I'm on the other end of the fence on this one. Knowledge shouldn't be withheld due to arbitrary lines. If the parents aren't tuned into what their children are reading or if the kid feels they must hide away what they're reading, it's indicative of more serious issues than books.

    I say this with a kid who's just starting to learn their letters and not at a point of reading on their own yet. If they want to pick up Ulysses or the silmarillion, I'm not stopping them. I will warn them they've chosen books that are very advanced and they will have more questions than answers while reading.

  • I always read it more acting as a final severing of their childhood to protect against It as it preferred to eat children. Not to mention as a more substantial blood pact as part of the ritual of chud to become metaphorically one being in the cosmic fight

  • The real turning point in the non cocaine years is Dreamcatcher. And that was morphine.

    Which really explains Dreamcatcher.

  • I turned out mostly ok and was reading King well before 12. There were quite a few things I didn't understand yet but it didn't make me want to go out and assault people or something

  • Did you forget about the shit weasels in Dreamcatcher, the various instances of SA in Hearts in Atlantis, the forced abortion in the Gunslinger, insomnia, and so forth

  • I can't imagine why or how they would be used very often. /s

  • Aaahhhhh!

    I said be not afraid! Geez!

  • I'm flipping between "why is there cuneiform Unicode" and "of course there's cuneiform Unicode" much more rapidly than I really expected

  • I use raid 0 for backup.

    ^/s

  • I like to call that the "putting a pillow over its face" method of rebooting. Reserved for when even a shutdown /r /t 0 doesn't work

  • Apparently not if Republican officials do it. See: Abbott and the migrants he sent to Martha's vineyard.

  • Universal basic income, return to FDR era tax rates but factoring in current inflation and closing the loopholes, strong antitrust laws with teeth, tying c suite pay structure to a percentage over the lowest paid worker, and any bonus to top levels based on profit must be equally shared with everyone in the company.

    Let's throw in any fines are calculated based on a person's income for good measure

  • You mean the three last remaining pieces of Ma Bell after the children mostly combined back together?

  • Read the last part of my comment again. I didn't miss it. If two speakers agree on a new word and its meaning to the point it becomes adopted by a wider population of speakers, guess what, it becomes a standard word. By how you're describing it, dictionaries are the progenitors of language. You have that backwards. Dictionaries are records of the language and what words are being used.

    The only languages that do not behave this way are dead languages.

  • 15*6=90 so I was fairly conservative on my estimate... Which further proves my point that the difference between 30 students total is vastly different than 180 total if we wanted to hit the other end of that average

  • The way you wrote it makes it seem like you meant in total, not per period was my point. The total number is likely closer to 100 a school year which is vastly different to 15 total.

  • 15-25 kids.....

    Like, per period? Cause that numbers low for public schooling

  • You're thinking of codpieces.

  • My fav response to that reasoning: all words are made up words. That's how languages work
