people dont need to be sober and drug-free to deserve food and shelter and kindness imho

[mermaidofspace]

i would like to say something- if this is aimed at homeless shelters, there are reasons why people who are not sober are not allowed. first because they can be destructive and violent (i worked at a homeless shelter ive seen this first hand). and many (sober) people at homeless shelter are recovering or have mental illness, and it can be dangerous for them to be around a non sober person.  many homeless shelters also do not have the resources to help  those who are not sober recover- which is incredibly important. but no, they are not less deserving of love or kindness or shelter, they have made bad choices that can make it harder for them to find places able to help them.

PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!

If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this. 

Snopes confirms.

I’ve dealt with these before. If you find one:

Do not touch it

Do not touch it

Clear the area around it. It will explode on its own in time.

Once it explodes, do not make contact with the liquid inside. If needed, flush it away with large amounts of water.

Do not try to detonate it. You’ll probably be disfigured.

I’ve seen what these can do. The acidic liquid inside can strip the paint off a car.

[xakariahthepariah-deactivated20]

i found one in my back yard, when i let my dogs out, i pulled them back inside, took my cousins bb shotgun and shot it from a safe distance (i was in my house and shot from the screen door. When it went off, my family and neighbors came running to see if everything was ok. I told them what happened and to watch out for them. 

These things are not a joke! When we went to check the damage there was a fucking hole in the ground. The dirt in my yard is like CLAY.

This !@#$%^&* is bad news

Colorado judge orders baker to bake cakes for gay weddings, staff must undergo pro LGBT reeducation

Here’s a simple question for you: should a gay sign painter be forced to make signs for the Westboro cult that say “God Hates Fags”?  

If you’re answer is “no,” congratulations! You just passed individual liberty 101. 

Unfortunately, individual liberty is dead in Colorado.

from KRQE:

A suburban Denver baker who would not make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple cannot cite his Christian beliefs in refusing them service because it would lead to discrimination, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.

The three-judge panel said in a 66-page ruling that Colorado’s anti-discrimination law does not prevent baker Jack Phillips from believing what he wants but that if he wants his business open to the public, he is prohibited “from picking and choosing customers based on their sexual orientation.”

The decision is the latest victory for gay couples, who have won similar cases in other states. Gay rights supporters and religious freedom advocates have passionately debated whether individuals can cite their beliefs as a basis for declining to participate in a same-sex wedding ceremony.

And it is bound to get more heated after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. That decision makes the Colorado case “all the more urgent and all the more critical,” said Nicolle Martin, one of Phillips’ attorneys.

His attorneys previously said they would consider appealing up to the nation’s high court, noting that more cases are likely to arise in which businesses’ religious convictions clash with gay rights. But any appeal first would go to the Colorado Supreme Court.

“Jack simply exercised the long-cherished American freedom to decline to use his artistic talents to promote a message with which he disagrees,” said another of Phillips’ attorneys, Jeremy Tedesco, with the Arizona-based Alliance Defending Freedom. “The court is wrong to deny Jack his fundamental freedoms.”

Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, declined to make a cake for Charlie Craig and David Mullins in 2012. They were married in Massachusetts but planned to celebrate in Colorado.

Phillips has been facing fines if he kept refusing to make wedding cakes for gay couples, so his attorneys have said he stopped making them altogether.

The baker has maintained that he has no problem serving gay people at his store but says that making a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding would violate his religious views.

read the rest

The story doesn’t end there.  In addition to baking cakes for gay weddings, Phillips must also give account any time he refuses to take an order for any reason.  He must also re-educate his staff, including his 88-year-old grandmother with pro-LGBT non-discrimination materials. 

If this is the road we’re going down as a nation, then liberty is officially dead.  Phillips is 100% right when he asserts that government now values the rights of certain groups of people over the rights of others. 

Regardless where you stand on the morality of gay marriage, it is undeniably immoral to force another person to violate their personal beliefs.

ppl: john green is a 40 yo creep that inserts himself into safe spaces for teens and writes the same boring formulaic “cishet white dude falls in love with cishet white manic pixie dream girl” over and over again

john green: oh so apparently im a pedophile for writing teen fiction??? this website is so toxic. i cant believe yall wont kiss my ass. i didnt create feminism for this

[mermaidofspace]

Or maybe he’s a best selling author who interacts with his fanbase in an encouraging and kind way? Who has never (to my knowledge) done anything to earn the title of a “creep” except exist as a white male on this website? Yes, I do agree that his books could be more diverse, but this practice of finding fault in everything needs to stop.

As a teacher, I get to see and hear a lot of horror stories, maybe not the kind that you are used to. Kids being abused by teachers or parents, students who get hooked on hard drugs and lose scholarships, even teenagers getting raped in the classroom. Bad things happen to good kids. It breaks my heart. All in all, it’s all pretty horrific, some of the things they warn you about in school when you’re getting your teaching credential.

ok WOW

[mienhar3l]

I got fucking chills.

[drunken--archive]

This is really good and worth the read. Definitely different than the stories usually posted here. No surprise twists, no eerie paranormal elements, and no slasher flick horror. I highly recommend this one.

[resoluteinch-deactivated2015121]

I don’t do the “read mores” from sixpenceee because I have a vivid imagination and love sleeping with out nightmares. For some reason I read this one and holy shit this is fanfuckingtastic. Have tissues at hand. Or just wipe your nose on your shirt like I did.

[the-unpopular-opinions]

I am biased against this because I used to be the smart kid but I do not find this to be funny at all. When I “finally” failed a test, all of my classmates except for my one best friend were making a huge deal out of it. They acted as though it was something unthinkable. They were looking at me as if I had grown another head. It made me feel like I wasn’t allowed to get a bad grade. I had to be perfect, or else I was weird. In the end, I was so stressed because of the pressure I even considered commiting suicide. It wasn’t pressure from my parents, they were okay with it. It was from my classmates who couldn’t grasp the fact I was only human.

So please, I’m begging you, if you have this smart classmate and they fail a test, do NOT laugh at them, do NOT insult them, do NOT make a big deal out of it. We’re all humans, we all make mistakes—don’t take this entitlement away from us.

[askr-deactivated20230503]

OH MY GOD

Believe me, you do not need to remind the smart student(s) how badly they’ve done in class. We and our parents do enough of that. 

You do not need to gloat about how we failed or did less than expected on a test. We’re already beating the crap out of ourselves because EVERYONE has come to expect that we’re fucking geniuses

I got an 80% on a test while five other students got higher marks than me and they were so surprised like “I can’t believe I got a higher mark than you” and “Wait, that's your mark?”

THE ‘SMART’ STUDENTS ARE NOT PURPOSELY TRYING TO MAKE YOU LOOK STUPID SO DON’T DO THE SAME TO THEM

[astra-foxes-deactivated20140819]

Bless this post.

Everyone needs to read this because my teacher literally told the whole class that I got a 70 on a test to make some people feel better about themselves and people laughed.
