Second Semester 2020/21 School Year in Coronavirus ·
FEMA inspectors hitting up schools in six states because kids are still stuck on Zoom

They checked out 30 different schools—19 elementary and 11 high schools—to see if they were actually following the pandemic rules. Most of these inspections were already on the books for 29 of the locations, but apparently, one school got hit with an unannounced visit after someone filed a complaint, according to FEMA Headquarters.

Only one school actually messed up.

It wouldn't take much brainpower to figure out which 🙂

So, did everyone get hit by another massive wave of bans on that other thread, and now you're all just migrating over here?

My kid didn't end up going, but honestly, it wasn't even because of the pandemic... he just had a bunch of idiots in his class, so none of the teachers actually wanted to deal with him.

Last year, back when he was a freshman, they were supposed to take a trip to Chicago, but that whole thing fell through.
This year, things finally settled down a bit and he actually managed to click with a few kids who aren't total losers, which I guess is enough for him. He keeps insisting he’s doing fine and doesn't really mind the whole online school thing, as long as they make him show up in person to take his exams.

There’s just one tiny little issue here—you haven't gotten a single thing right. Not one. You're just spreading lies and total fabrications about me, and somehow you even dragged my late grandmother into this mess.
Just like how you occasionally twist my handle into "Alex" whenever it suits you.

I mean, how would you feel if someone wrote that you were just some girl from Miami pretending to be Russ? And let me skip the obvious part right now—I had absolutely nothing to do with any of that.

First off, I don't see the point in using stuff like that as an actual argument in a discussion. It’s like when that one colleague keeps bringing up other users, which the thread moderator already flagged as a bad move a few months back when we were all just messing around.

It’d probably be best to just end this pointless tug-of-war. I’ll be the first to walk away.

I mean, let’s be real, only idiots and single-celled organisms bother trying to evolve.

Honestly, I can't stand social media. It's just noise. A forum is the only thing that actually works for me, so I figured I should probably try not to ruin the vibe here.

So, I took the feedback to heart. Decided it wasn't really my style, so I'm planning on moving on from that whole thing. If I ever decide to go back to clicking that little triangle icon again... well, I won't be stopping anyone.

Basically, just trying to make these discussions actually worth something, so I cleared out my ignore list—kept maybe two people on there, I guess—and I'm looking forward to some actual constructive back-and-forth for once.

Man, it actually stung a bit more than I expected when I made that caricature of Alexei Navalny. I guess some haters would probably call me a hypocrite for even doing it.

I’m pretty much on board with what the veteran user said, and honestly, I’m ready to take whatever heat comes my way for acting out like that.

😢I guess I just got sucked into this lazy atmosphere where everyone's basically competing to see who can insult the Russian president the most crudely. Some people even go as far as calling the Pfizer vaccine "Putin-juice" or something equally ridiculous.

It won't happen again. This kind of trash talk definitely doesn't belong on a forum like this.

My post got nuked, but the ghost of it is still hanging around in this reply 🙂
I don't see how I broke any rules here... being sarcastic isn't the same thing as trolling, I guess.
But then you look at the mods—they let all these other posts slide, people just throwing insults and targeting other users left and right, totally breaking the site guidelines. And you can't even report them until 24 hours have passed. By the time that window closes, what's the point? The posts just get wiped without anyone actually getting banned, and those same people just keep acting like jerks anyway.

Wait, did the clones and clowns finally get handed their warnings?

Man, part of me really wants to sit back and enjoy reading their nonsense... actually, nah, probably not. 🙂

I honestly don't get why this kind of behavior is even allowed on this forum. This guy just jumps on every single one of my posts—and anyone else who doesn't see things his way—even though I’ve been ignoring him for years now. Plus, he just loves throwing around insults and labels like they mean something.
I've tried reporting him a few times after he goes way too far by clicking that little flag icon, but it feels like a total waste of time. Nothing ever happens.

Look, I don't really care about the drama myself, but the moderator warned us that using titles or nicknames wouldn't be tolerated. So, if that rule isn't actually being enforced anymore, maybe I'll start having a little fun with it too. Not that I mind.

I mean, in this particular scenario, a whole bunch of them are actually walking away with some pretty solid benefits.

Yeah, word on the street is he's even losing his morning wood.

So, I guess geopolitics actually counts as a reliable source now?

It’s just Russian interference, honestly. They're basically peddling this whole "bad Putin" narrative to everyone.

I’m betting that France24 will end up being a pretty solid argument here

Nah, these old folks are so absolutely trashed they’ll probably feel like death warmed over the second they even try to stand up. 🙂

In this little rural clinic, we've got four different departments being held together by just one single nurse, while everyone else is stuck in isolation.

So, some high schoolers in my neighborhood went to this birthday party last week, and man, it turned into a total COVID disaster zone. I guess five people in that house are all sick now; the kids are walking around totally fine without a single symptom, while both parents are absolutely wrecked and stuck in bed.

It’s pretty wild how during the height of the lockdowns, they were out there having massive backyard rages, acting like they were already immune or something.

One guy actually did the legwork while everyone else is just out here copy-pasting 😢

melloworca6 said:Maybe I’m just being overly cautious. 🤣I don't live in a massive high-rise, so you can definitely hear when someone is in the hallway. I pay attention to that. Ever since the pandemic hit—even when I'm just out walking the dog—I hate bumping into people. Since the hallways are narrow, I usually just wait until it's clear before moving.

You can go take out the trash, but you should probably wear gloves and a mask. Honestly, I think there’s a much higher risk of someone catching something by handling your garbage than there is from a two-second run-in with you in a hallway.

Technically, a quick encounter isn't even considered contact if it's under 15 minutes and you stay six feet apart. 🙂

I seriously doubt the police or the government have enough manpower to actually check in on everyone in quarantine—maybe even the sick folks, but even that feels like a stretch. There are just too many people.

During those spring lockdowns, my dogs were absolutely dying to get out for walks.
