Yeah you’re right. Young children are renowned for their vast attention spans, or at least they used to be before cell phones were invented. Nobody ever passed notes, made paper airplanes, graffitied on their desks, or drew pictures in class prior to 2006.
Literally anything can distract kids and make them throw a tantrum when you take it away. Have you ever met a child?
School exists to teach you how to function in society. In our society, like it or not, everyone has a cell phone. Let’s focus on teaching them to integrate this tool into their lives in a productive way.
why do they need wheels?
Carts, busses. There’s wheels in lots of stuff.
Why are you leaving out guns?
Well, you see, unlike the wheel/paper/mini computers with built in calculators calendars document editors email and research tools, guns serve no legitimate purpose in a school.
Yeah who needs the wheel either? We survived 450,000 years without it. And don’t get me started on paper. Paper can be used to make paper airplanes or spitballs. What a distraction! Kids should chisel their assignments onto stone slates like our ancestors did.
I think it’s an even bigger mistake to think that starting a fire in a single state’s party HQ is going to move the needle at all. It’s not going to hurt them. It is going to give them ammo. Go big or go home.
Hitler was chancellor already when the reichstag fire started. What it did was allow him to seize absolute control. We’re not there yet. Courts are still ruling against trump. Elections haven’t been cancelled yet. It’s a mistake to assume things are already as extreme as they’re going to get.
Typo/intentional misspelling aside, it’s clear from context what you meant. Here’s a fun idea, let’s not call anyone retarded. It’s a slur against a marginalized group who have nothing to do with any of this. There are plenty of other adjectives to choose from.

Surely you can insult musk without being ableist though? There’s 500,000 words in the English language. Choose one that doesn’t drag innocent people into it.
Snow White was written in the early 19th century, it was already public domain when Disney made their original movie. I suppose extending the copyright will keep people from naming their dwarves sleepy and dopey but they can make as many snow whites as they want.
Shit, they’re gonna want my DNA. I’m 1/8th Cherokee and I’m descended from Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Christopher Columbus, Abraham Lincoln, every signatory of the magna carta, Jesus, and the Mayflower. The actual ship. Don’t ask.
Thank you 23andme for telling me just how goddamn special I am simply for being born, now I’m not under any pressure to ever accomplish anything.
Thanks. I hate when news pieces play the pronoun game.

Assault rifle != Assault weapon. An assault rifle is a fully automatic or burst fire weapon. They’ve been illegal since 1986 and remain so to this day. And assault weapon is a made up term, based on superficial accessories like bayonet mounts or a pistol grips. Clintons AWB was essentially a “scary looking gun ban”. Guns that were functionally identical to banned guns were still readily available and perfectly legal.
Clinton conflated “assault weapon” and “assault rifle” intentionally to cause this sort of confusion and get credit for passing a bad bill that didn’t really address the problem.
Assault rifles have been illegal nation wide for decades
Typically something like a political campaign will use a dedicated texting service intended to send out mass texts. They’re not copy/pasting them on a consumer level cell phone account.
Apparently in this economy “unlimited” means “2 that you have to pick up off the floor”
Perhaps you should get checked for adhd
