It was in a separate lesson, which was similarly filled with bullshit.

At this point, I wouldn’t put it past Trump to tell them all to kill themselves if he gets found guilty at his trials.

I don’t know where you get your pizza from but it sure as hell isn’t like that here.

Taking enough what, weed or opioids?
- Comment on The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane. 1 day ago:
I’m luckier than others in that I hate the effects of opioids, so unless it is actually doing some pain killing (fentanyl did wonders when I was in the ER with kidney stones), I just wouldn’t want it in my system.
But I also know that there are plenty of people it does work for who use it because they are legitimately in pain and either were hooked on them by a doctor and can’t get off or just can’t afford an alternative other than to score something illegally to solve their pain issues due to our capitalist healthcare system.
I realize you have to simplify things for kids sometimes, but this is not the way to do it.

Weird how cigarettes and alcohol are not ‘gateway drugs.’
- Comment on The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane. 1 day ago:
Thankfully, she knows from her father, who uses cannabis medicinally, that it is not a “gateway drug.” Especially since the pain I am using it to treat now was one which a doctor originally tried and failed to treat by throwing multiple opioids at it and I’m not doing fentanyl today despite that. Two days of withdrawal was a bitch though.

I had D.A.R.E. and we also had “Officer Friendly” come to our elementary school and tell us all the ways drugs would kill us horrifically.

They did. It was a separate lesson. It was also full of nonsense.
- Comment on The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane. 1 day ago:
No worries there.
- Comment on The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane. 1 day ago:
Well said. I made sure I told her all about the opioid epidemic and she already understands how shitty our healthcare system is.
- Comment on The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane. 1 day ago:
I’m glad I can be around to tell her what is and is not bullshit or propaganda. Even when it’s about alcohol and cigarettes. They don’t even discuss medication options for alcohol and nicotine addictions despite those being real options that work well for some people.

Frozen French bread pizza can be acceptable in terms of crust.
- Comment on Day one and done 1 day ago:
There are people in this world who have seriously tried to sell me on the idea that frozen pizza is just as good as delivery.
And those people worry me.

My favorite part is when he buys the fish sausage.
I think it would make a good movie and I’m surprised no one’s done it yet.

It’s mostly assholes in pickup trucks doing it.

I have a Prius. Not for any stupid “I’m saving the planet despite still driving an ICE car” reasons, because I save a lot on gas.
Doesn’t stop every “rollin’ coal” asshole from doing it when they drive by me because “haw haw dumb librul hippie.” You sure showed me by spending a lot more on gas than I do.

The communist waiter part is definitely one of my favorites.
His essay Shooting an Elephant should be, in my opinion, required reading in schools. It’s probably the best anti-colonialist essay I’ve ever read.

So would I, but that’s not always possible. Maybe the meaningful jobs aren’t available. Maybe you took a job you thought was going to be meaningful but actually turned out to be bullshit, but you need the work and now you’re stuck.
I’ve certainly been in both situations myself.

Excellent book! I love Orwell and I think it’s too bad that most people only go as far as reading Animal Farm and 1984.
He could be funny as well (even while being insightful). Coming Up for Air has some great critiques of the direction Britain was going in before the war, and was fairly prescient about what was to come, while also being extremely funny. It’s too bad most people aren’t aware of that side of his writing.
