Too lazy to explain this, just trust me, its cool.
@FazeRug Hi there, nice to meet you! Welcome.
@realcaseyrollins collar may not be the right word here. But basically normally a V-neck will have a bend above the top button that forms the neck. This just looks like a straight line with no transition
That is true, A society exclusively filled with quinns would not have these problems :)
It is great you learned those things for yourself, and it does perhaps speak to the ineffectual nature of how we teach (thus why I call for reform on how we teach).
That said, not everyone is you and many people learned a lot of base knowledge from school they wouldnt have learned otherwise for any number of reasons.
To be fair even if the supply chain completely collapsed right now and super markets were empty most people with survival skills would still just die. There would never be enough land to support hunter and gatherers or even personal gardens and still expect everyone to get fed.
That said I think survival skills are good more from a sense that it enables people to go on adventures and those are very important for adults to do IMO
School is the only thing keeping adults from being dumber than they already are... and they are pretty damn dumb most of the time.
That said I'd be all about including survival skills in school along side traditional subjects. I also think we need a major reform on how we teach kids in the first place.
@noelle LOL you know someone is commited to a shit post when they give it its own subdomain... I approve :)
> Some have a choice o heat home, feed kids, or feed kids and parents go Hungary (esp now fuel bills are going up)
I agree, and this is where the failure is. Either the government isnt giving these people the resources they need to get out of poverty (and survive it until they do), or, these people arent putting in the effort and utilizing these resources. Most likely the former more so than the latter.
Therein is the problem. If they cant provide for their kids this isnt the place for a school to step in, its function is to teach. It represents a failure on the part of the government and really has no relationship to school meals at all.
I'd take it one step further and say this may not be an issue to handle at the school level at all. The poor should have access to some degree of food to the point that I have to wonder why these parents arent able to feed their kids in the first place and send them to school with healthy food.
@realcaseyrollins It kinda does, no transition to a collar.
@Chrisleon27 Next time we want to get upset about someone stealing an election lets just make sure they actually steal an election :) lol
@Chrisleon27 Doesnt help that it never actually happened.
@kat perhaps. I am always happy to give someone the benefit of the doubt and presume miscommunication if thats the case.
@kat Do you practice being a horrible obnoxious person in the mirror or does it just come naturally to you? I'm impressed.
@PinkWug You think capitalism underpaid them for building that, wait till you see communism!
