Home Depot, many many years ago (20+), used to hire people who were experts to work departments. Best Buy used to have concierge experts to help you with phone, camera, electronics purchases. I really wish that stores would do that again. The only differences between stores that sell the same items now are price and availability. Actually focusing on service would easily set a store apart.

That's just God telling you to go to the bad gateway.

I can only hope it was with a side of fava beans and a nice Chianti.

I'm sure that by "outsiders" you mean "people who go outside," and I agree.

Because you clearly do not know what that term means.

We are immigrants who didn’t grow up here, so we have no idea what’s normal and what’s not.

I'm not sure where you're from or where you are, but considering how this is escalating, I don't think it matters.

I would actually take this to the school administration - principal and counselor(s) - and not to the specific teacher. A second grade teacher may not have the experience necessary to handle it properly, but the administration would. And you don't have to bring it as "I want you to do something about this." Present it as "This is definitely something you should be aware of," at least in your first conversation with them.

Wrong guy.

Those revelations came to light last night when former Missouri Representative Shamed Dogan (R-Ballwin) tweeted out a screenshot showing the unofficial candidate filing list for governor posted to the Secretary of State's website. On it, Darrell Leon McClanahan III's name sits atop more well-known GOP contenders like Mike Kehoe and Jay Ashcroft.

This is apparently a thing he does, and this will be a "walk in the park," so to speak:

In 2019, he became the first and only person to make the 80-mile round-trip hike to Mount Everest Base Camp without shoes. Two years later, he set the 2021 Guinness World Record for the longest barefoot journey after hiking 1,875 miles on the Australian coast. Now he plans to break that record by walking 3,000 miles from Los Angeles to New York City, entirely barefoot.

Gaia is such a slut.

In order for groups to function, the people that make them up have to operate in a sufficiently shared reality. The best one of those to operate in is, of course, actual reality. The more you deviate from that, the less cohesive your organization is.

 

Yesterday, I made bad decisions. I may make bad decisions tomorrow. But today, I made a decision that was slightly better than it could have been, and I’m calling that a win.

 

And vice versa.

And also "shower."

 

That's what my brain wants to know.

Edit: I know you would die, but I need someone to put together a Mythbusters-esque test with a pig stomach or something.

More important edit: DO NOT DO THIS DUMBASSES

 

The character Archie Bunker in All In The Family was originally offered to Mickey Rooney, who declined. Carroll O'Connor lived in Europe, and accepted the role only because he thought the show would fail and he could go home, so much so that part of his contract with Norman Lear included a return plane ticket to Rome so that he could fly back when it failed

 

Good luck with dealing with this
