Not really the incident school wise but personally was for me. This is back in the days before things like dyspraxia and ADHD were regularly identified and so I was therefore a disruptive nightmare in several classes where I wasn’t stimulated correctly. Professionals were brought into the school (at great expense I’m sure) to try and analyse the bad behaviour.

It was in a meeting between several teachers, supervisors and my mum (who was herself a head teacher of a different school) and she asked why it was that I didn’t act up in maths or English or science and it was only in music, RE and geography I couldn’t be controlled in and maybe I wasn’t the problem but it was certain teachers weren’t actually very good at controlling classes or providing a stimulating enough environment then politely told the school to get bent and we went to get ice cream.

The actual incident at the school was the music teacher Mr Mann getting caught masturbating in the classroom between lessons by a TA and several students.

How did you turn my comment into something that supports your warped point of view (some time after I actually posted it which means you specifically went looking for something to get upset about.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think Downfall is probably the best film of this type as it shows the ultimate story of the defeated person, a lot of the criticism comes from people who don’t want to see Hitler as a human person rather as some sort of evil boogeyman

I’ve had several nights like this. Oh no! I lost again! 🥹

So you’d actually be OK with a christofascist dictatorship as long as people you don’t like get oppressed as well? Cool.

More (anti) war films from the “wrong” side’s perspective. Flags of our Fathers and All Quiet on the Western Front are compelling as they tell stories that we all know but from a fresh point of view making you compare and contrast the experiences from both sides.

Something that fleshed out the lives and motivations of VC or NVA troops during the Vietnam War would be interesting as they’re only ever portrayed as screaming fanatics who’s only existence is to shoot at Americans in most films.

Or the story of a conscripted German teenager sent to Normandy on the eve of the allied invasion and the all-encompassing dread that must overwhelmed them as ships and planes fill the sea and sky.

Or what life must have been like on board a Japanese aircraft carrier before Midway, that unshakeable belief in your own destiny as a people filled with propaganda about your own superiority and stories of your endless victories to be so utterly shattered in a cataclysmic defeat. The ultimate story of hubris.

I only use the camera for casual pictures and it’s fine. It’s still the same lenses and sensors after all. The camera app obviously isn’t as all singing all dancing as stock but perfectly functional, has all the features you’d expect.

Graphene rules

A certain section of society watched The Handmaid’s Tale (they wouldn’t read it because books are bad) and thought: “yes please, let’s have some of that thank you very much” this is the thin end of the wedge.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with paper ballots if the system itself is trustworthy. Since America’s electronic voting systems are largely compromised their untrustworthy too and a lot easier to manipulate at the scales needed to throw an election.

From my basic understanding of gut science, the bacteria that do the actual digestion for you grow and multiply based on what you eat. So if you’re a professional athlete and you eat a diet tailored for performance you’ll have more bacteria for digesting protein and carbohydrates. If you’re a normal schlub like UK you’ll have a mix of stuff depending on what you tend to eat.

You cam shift your gut flora but it takes years and years of work to do but fecal transplants basically put a whole package of the bacteria you want directly into your gut kick starting that shift if you’re feeding them the stuff that they want.

I’ve read about this sort of thing for trying to cure various gastro-intestinal conditions like crohns but not specifically for performance gains. Sounds possibly legit but as with all “miracle treatments” potentially complete bullshit magic beans.

1 - get off your high horse

2 - they asked a double question about how did Stalin and Hitler rise to power and how does fascism take hold in a society, they didn’t equate Stalinism with fascism.

Tarps off boys, let’s have a donnybrook

I once had someone (during my thankfully short stint in retail) try and return a block of cheese that had gone mouldy before the use by date.

The packet was open and half eaten and he admitted they hadn’t kept it in the fridge.

And my manager over rode me and gave the refund!

I wondered how long it would take for a .ml to turn up and contribute absolutely nothing.

It was me. Sowwy

Everyone could learn a thing or two from the Steamdeck. The twin sticks, the touch pads, the double shoulder buttons, the four on the back, the overall ergonomics, it’s really great to use.

Jack booted tool of oppression

No, that’s the wrong Caesar. Caesar became a dog behaviourist on TV
