IDK why, but this reminded me of something thay happened when I was in highschool... I was a goth kid. One day I drew a pentagram on my hand and the vice principal came up to me at lunch and started asking about it and I got all indignant about religious freedom and shit thinking he was gonna tell me its not school appropriate. I finish my rant and he just goes "I just wanted to point out that it's not satanic in that direction. You need to flip it around."
You accidentally banished your own demons smh.
Which orientation of the hand is up? Would rotating your hand a few degrees count?
Such an obvious lie too, it's almost like they wanted to get caught.
Wait, did we get engagement baited?
Maybe inflation is just that bad, but there was no way I'd have $10 in high school (96-99). I barely had money to eat lunch, maybe $1 some days. I didn't swear anyway back then (grew up JW), but a $10 fine would have made parents flip their shit.
That kid's name? Luigi Mangione.
No, you did that wrong. It's every time either Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain or Albert Einstein.
Not true. Case-in-point: this time it was Luigi Mangione.
This is fake but this rule if ever really implemented would be extremely wrong for so many reasons.
A school fining students for swearing is the most believable part of this story to me. I don't think I ever saw fines for swearing but we had fines for chewing gum, dress code violations etc. I 100% believe a school would implement this exact policy. And I agree it's pretty fucked up and classist to fine children.
Oh, but indoctrinating them with abhorrently-bigoted propaganda disguised as "history", et al, that's ok, though.
Hmm. 😜
Two things can be wrong at the same time. Even 5. Or, looking at the world right now, everything can be wrong all at once
"You absolute maroon! I possess the capabilities to be wrong in quantities and qualities you could scarce imagine. It would boggle any mind, even my own!"
Now, read it as Vecini.
Fair points, all. ☝🏼
This is true. 🥲😭😅
Its impossible for everything to be wrong all at once. I doubt you can reach 25% of all things
Impossible, you say? Hunh... Here, hold my coffee. I've got a couple ideas.
You can get planets to be wrong?
Too young to remember Pluto? 🥲🤷🏽♂️
No, I think that's pretty messed up as well. The schools I went to had a lot of problems.
Not as many as the students within them, though. 🙇🏼♂️ I feel ya 🤘🏼
We had a swear jar in my high school drum line. It paid for an annual camping trip we went on.
Drummers cuss a lot.
I didn't even own a wallet when I was in school, only got one when I got my first job and opened my first bank account. How are kids paying such fines? The parents pay them?
I guess. In high school I had a job, so I was very careful not to get fined because it would be coming out of my pocket. Still got busted for uniform violations a couple of times but I learned quick how not to get caught. If I didn't have money I would have had to ask my parents, which in its own way was more costly than just paying it myself.
I barely had lunch money, maybe $1 or less on me when I was in highschool. I admit that because I didn't get allowance, maybe other kids had more money than me, but we weren't destitute level of poor, like many kids were. I don't see how you can fine that easily without being in an affluent area.
I went to catholic school, most of the students' families had at least tuition money. I was one of the "need-based scholarship" kids so my tuition was less, and I had a job so I had some income, which I used mostly for gas to get to and from my job and most of the rest went to tuition. Fines were added to the tuition bill, and if you hadn't settled up by the beginning of the next year / graduation, you couldn't re-enroll / graduate.
"I'm a14yo edgelord" vibes.
Lloyd Seay was a 14 year old bootlegger who got pulled over for speeding.
He tried to bribe the cop with a $20 bill. The cop said “the fine ain’t but $10”
Lloyd said “yeah but I’m coming back through here so I’ll just pay that fine now”
Never happened.
At least it's bot even a funny story
Fake as it is, I can totally see school teachers being that fucking pathetic and petty to extract tithes from students.
No one gonna mention how there wouldn't even be any change if swears are $10 each
that's the joke
We had a legit swear jar in a vocational class in HS (in the 90s). It was 25¢ per swear unless is was at the teacher, then it was a dollar.
We had pizza at the end of the semester from the proceeds.
The teacher later got canned for throwing a hammer at a student, but it was after my time there.
Learning swear words in other languages would be very useful in this case.
A cunt, I called you a cunt sir. It's Australian.
Cool fake story
