its a generation of people demanding safe spaces....maybe im cynical but asking for a safe space when i was a kid would have gotten you called a pussy. soft was the nicest adjective i had available

I think the safe space thing is a little overblown by outlets like Fox News, who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

McDonald's restaurants have been "safe places" for as long as I can remember. Fire stations, police stations, etc are often safe places as well. The program started when I was 6, in 1983.

Yep. The only time I thought I "won" something was the year we won the league when I was 12. I still liked getting a trophy the other times.

Some kids start classes at 7:30, and they take an early lunch. They call it brunch to distinguish it from the later lunch.

I think the issue is calling it "brunch." I've heard other places that take a break around this time of day (mid-morning) and they call it "snack."

Brunch is just an odd turn of phrase to use there.

P.D.X. · Post by **P.D.X.** » Wed Mar 07, 2018 5:28 pm

It sounds like staggered lunch times to me, not 2 meals for each kid. Which would make it weird to call it a snack.

SC you gotta sort this out.

OK, I just asked the wife, who of course was not at all shocked that i don't know how anything works at my daughter's high school. Apparently I was mistaken. Contrary to my previous statement, it is not an early lunch. It is a snack break. A recess. Whatever you want to call it. For some reason, they call it "brunch", despite the fact that the cafeteria is not available until later, at "lunch".

Eta: My wife (after mocking my lack of knowledge), just also clarified that the school doesn't actually have a "cafeteria". This being California, the kids eat their lunches (brought from home) outside 90% of the time, and in the "multi-use room", otherwise. The things you learn two months before your daughter graduates...

And are mimosas served or what?

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Mar 07, 2018 5:55 pm

Mimosa clearly a given. Are they hipsters (avocado toast) or octogenarians(eggs Benedict)?

I remember school lunch being an absolute atrocity. I changed schools a few times too when I was younger. Every one everywhere was disgusting.

So if these kids are eating decently these days, I'm glad things changed.

Thanks, (Michelle) Obama.

I think the safe space thing is a little overblown by outlets like Fox News, who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

Plus, given how much national shit women have faced for "demanding" safe spaces, I think asking for safe spaces is pretty damned brave.

TT2.0 · Post by **TT2.0** » Fri Mar 09, 2018 3:14 am

wouldnt the brave thing just be dealing with your own problems and shit without demandimg a place to go cry about it? There werent safe spaces on campus when I was growing up, and it was fine. I just dont get the need

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Fri Mar 09, 2018 8:15 am

You're trotting out the old macho thing that makes people who need help not get help because it makes them seem 'weak'.

Shit, TT, didn't you have a pretty bad substance abuse issue at one point? Maybe if you'd found a safe space that could have been averted? Obviously, that's making an assumption, but the point is that the mindset you are displaying is a big reason we are where we are.

TT bringing out the old "Let them eat cake" level of tone deaf. That kid in FL didn't need a safe space either and he took care of his problem.
