not too unusual, I'm on 13 now and I was a relative latecomer.

Not seeing that anywhere in the posted article. Nor do I see a similar sentiment in the comments posted in this thread.

Yeah but that doesn't really matter does it? Whether or not I can prove how long I've been here? Why do you care so much about that, that's pretty weird dude. Is there a minimum time I have to be here before I've earned enough street cred to make a comment? Maybe I'm just a busy guy who doesn't peruse this subreddit often. Maybe I'm not lieing to you when I'm telling you it's the first time I've seen it. I don't care if you've seen it a million times thats not my problem and you should get over yourself and keep scrolling like an adult. Honestly are you 14? This is how you spend your lonely Saturdays, challenging strangers on the internet?

Not sure this question is related to the issue at hand but I am sure you will post a verbose response that will do nothing to tie the two together.

>You can always convince folks of the righteousness of your argument
A certain portion of the population are just evil and will never face the truth of their actions.
That's why conservatives jump from one minority to another drumming up hate and violence.... because they have no sense of morality and just want to create hell on earth.
There is no way to phrase things to make them examine themselves. They are just purely evil creatures that need to be stopped.
How do you think the world stopped the Nazis? It wasn't with a round table discussion....
> by inserting "traitorous" and "fascists" and other emotionally charged opinion
It isn't an opinion. It is a fact. When a random American suddenly turns on their neighbor and begins pointing a finger and screaming "WE HAVE TO KILL THEM TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN!!!"..... that is a traitor turning on their own society.
That is a festering disease that threatens the very fabric of peaceful society if not stopped. They are fascists, again, BY DEFINITION. They use fear of the other to take control of governments and install authoritarian measures victimizing countless people (as republican fascists are doing now across the country, and have been doing my entire life).
These things aren't opinion. It is just a fact of what these people are. A cancer at the heart of our country.... that will cause untold damage (and HAVE caused untold damage) if not stopped.
Again, there is no discussion to be had with them. They are evil hateful rotten creatures that have no sense of decency. Traitors and threats to America itself.

If you're a regular of this subreddit who's been here for at least a couple months, I have a hard time believing that, bub.

You can always convince folks of the righteousness of your argument by inserting "traitorous" and "fascists" and other emotionally charged opinion (some of which is unrelated to the issue at hand). It also helps to post patronizing and gratuitous verbiage. Pat yourself on the back.

Honestly looking to collect/restore them. I had quite a few over years and regret getting rid of them. Some of the more abused ones that can’t be saved to get repurposed with a Raspberry Pi.

Is that $2100 just housing budget? Or total monthly expenses?

I thought they were going to double osmosis the water and release it elsewhere? Mining has to happen. Is it better if it happens in other countries with slave labor and minimal environmental restrictions? Out of sight out of mind? I think this company is being careful but the insurance grant isn't long enough. They should sign a forever contract to keep cleaning up should something go wrong...and the water filtration needs to continue indefinitely . Maine taxpayers should be foot that bill.

>There might be communities within schools but a school is not a community.
So pep rallys, sports teams, mascots and school colors, school dances, yearbooks... should we get rid of all of those? Those are community activities and signifiers.
We could just send the children to all sit in little pods by themselves and watch videos abut the things they need to learn. No need to worry about them interacting with other humans or being anything more than-- as you put it-- "a percentage of the population". Imagine the efficiency!
>If the teacher wants to hang out with the kids and show them TikToks she can do it on her own time outside of the classroom.

Comparing racists to the transgendered says all anyone needs to know about your fucked up opinion.

Schools are communities? That's laughable. There might be communities within schools but a school is not a community. A school is a percentage (or the whole depending on size) of a town's population of children. That's not a community. That's like saying the state of Arizona is a community.
You being personally related to teachers or hanging out with teachers outside of school has no bearing on what is appropriate in a classroom. There is a difference between even briefly talking about your personal life if it's relevant to something related to the class and making students watch (possibly politically themed) TikToks. I certainly don't want conservatives doing it (especially creationists. Imagine a creationist science teacher making students watch Christian TikTok?) and we don't need to be doing it either. Class is for learning the material. If the teacher wants to hang out with the kids and show them TikToks she can do it on her own time outside of the classroom.

I’m actually not looking resell them. So what if I did though? If people want to get rid of them I’ll pay what they are worth to me.
