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.

maybe its a "back in my day thimg, maybe its me being in my thirties but really...its a lot of whiny entilted kids around me. maybe i just hate children in general? maybe texas is wearing on me but anytime i see a teenager they annoy the everloving shit out of me. although i did vote in the republican primary yesterday, but that was only to try to stop ted cruz.

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.

I don't know. Sounds like a lot of beta cuck pussies in here.

Did Betsy Devos really think "banning the press" was going to work, what with a bunch of teens that have absolutely destroyed everyone deserving on social media?

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

Yeah, right. They're probably eating avocado toast and drinking mimosas.

Great minds.

I know you guys are just having fun with this, but I'd point out it is a PUBLIC school. So, very few frills at this place.

Dadgum ESP up in this.

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.

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.

When's recess?

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?

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

I bet Jagged Little Pill is on a loop in that multiuse room

Where it was traded for adderall.

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.

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

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.

And, as a tall white dude, most of the world counts as a safe space.

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.
