And this on top of the trump administration convincing everyone that you want to do gender reassignment surgery on their children during lunch.

Your fucking kid should get his teeth knocked out the back of his head. How's that banana?

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

Good first step, now make him write “I will eat my calming banana instead of getting angry” 1000 times on the chalkboard like Bart.

This stupidity makes me need a calming banana.

Totally tangential, but:

Am I the only person who... basically always gets an upset stomach from eating a banana?

They seem like they always turn into... very angry acid in my stomach, I'll often get acid reflux from them.

... Uh yeah, am I an anomalous mutant, or... do other people experience this, with bananas?

Attempting to wind this back around to the actual topic:

For me, even when used properly, bananas have never been a source of comfort. =[

B a n a n a s are considered histamine liberators so you might look at a list of high histamine or histamine liberating foods to see if you have possibly histamine intolerance

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 24 minutes ago

... huh.

That... does... kind of seem to match up, the symptoms match up pretty well.

But there are a good deal of foods that I am seeing as also high in histamines (or ability to trigger histamine release or create histamines or something like that)... which give me little to no trouble, that I actually eat fairly often.

... hrm.

Either way, didn't even know this was a thing, so, thanks for informing me!

On top of all of this, at least in my country, the pay is shit. And no government past or present seems interested in changing it so...

Always the same story on loop.
"Nobody wants to work anymore" - Because the pay is shit.
"We're struggling to fill positions" - Because the pay is shit.
"This generation is laz— The. Pay. Is. Shit.

As student services this year: two broken pairs of glasses, one broken finger, laceration to my face from flying objects, sexual assault (breast bitten, fingers rammed into my junk) among the more memorable. I spent the holidays limping from being knocked into a wall. A typical day includes being hit with items, punched, and kicked. I barely notice being physically assaulted or death threats. The SA was mainly notable because it became a dcf call. To be clear, the teacher or peer is the first target and the onus is often on them to protect the peer so they get the worst of it while being paid less.

I wish them all the best, my last day is very soon.

Probably Department of Child and Family Services AKA CPS.

I'm just surprised they didn't write something like "You deserved it". It gets even worse than this, believe it or not.

As a youth soccer coach, I'd take this over some of the parents I've dealt with. We had one girl bullying other kids and when we told the mom she refused to believe us. Even when one of the other coaches told her she overheard it. The mom just said she must have misheard.

I need a calming banana after reading this.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 24 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Dude school kids were awful when I was one and couldn't understand why they couldn't think logically. I cant imagine how bad it is now after decades of brainrot and phones in schools. I would NEVER be a teacher.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

I would but no one is offering enough money for me to do that job

If you need a calming banana to not punch people not mistreating you in the face you are a garbage person

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago

SOMEONE didn't get their calming banana!
