I was at a regional magnet school, so I probably would have gone to my town’s middle school.

I honestly don’t know what happens if you get kicked out of that- maybe you go to a neighboring town’s school, or maybe there are other schools for kids that get expelled, but the government still has an obligation to educate you until a certain age, so you don’t just stop going to school (unless you’re in juvenile detention, at which point you probably have a teacher on premises).

I forgot to take my adhd medication as a twelve year old and my mom gave it to me as I ran out the door. I put it in my pocket, forgot about it until later, and then nearly got expelled for trying to sell drugs [edit: because it fell out of my pocket] because of a zero tolerance policy.

I say nearly, because I’m white with educated parents and a sympathetic situation, so obviously the zero tolerance policy learned a little tolerance.

Bagels (though now I make my own), fruit/veg, and Mexican food.

I moved to Germany from the USA and I now teach German to immigrants. The most universal experience for immigrants to Germany from warmer countries is the slow resignation not to even try peaches, corn, berries, or avocado (it’s reasonable based on geography, just still sad). I was astounded when my husband said he didn’t like peaches, but then I tried a German peach. They’re woody, flavorless, and expensive.

It seems like full disclosure should be a required part of amnesty and any concealment should nullify that amnesty.

Holy shit.

The body is months old, so it’s not urgent is almost logic. But then you remember that even if it was ten minutes old, it’s not coming back and the ones whose emotions are currently relevant are the family and friends who are probably worried sick about their missing loved one.

I specifically said that they don’t help you if you don’t have the resources to pursue them, outside of a chilling effect. I expect a little more from my magic spells.

They can set their own penalties, but the most common penalty for the business would be paying the full term of agreed employment (so probably 1-2 years) even if they want to fire you early. The most common one for the employee would be repaying any signing bonus and/or all or part of the salary for the full term of the contract.

You can enforce upon any legal and valid contract, but that’s obviously in a perfect world- many people can’t make the choice to take time off of whatever other job they might have found and pay an attorney/stay organized enough to find someone pro bono.

However, if you’re working with a company large enough to have a legal department larger than one overwhelmed lawyer, the contract will likely have a chilling effect on them fucking you over (which is imo the ideal situation for the type of company you need to do this with, they’ll be on their best behavior)

Just make an employment contract part of your counteroffer

Didn’t you just post a question asking about this and everyone answered either neutrally or with the smart cat?

I mean, why wouldn’t he? Are they going to try and extradite him for a testimony? He’s not an American and he’s not here, they don’t really have any power over him

A spokesperson for Fox News told Rolling Stone that “Gulfstream Studios produced The Life of Jesus Podcast from The Truth and Life Dramatized Audio Bible, which was licensed by Fox News Audio, with full cooperation and participation by all the actors involved”.

God, I wish it still mattered when people lie

It depends on the contract- If they thought it was for an animated show and it’s used for a podcast, I could see that not being covered, but they should definitely check their contracts. Edit: yeah basically:

Her team added that she never gave permission for the original audiobook – The Truth and Life Dramatized Audio Bible,released in 2010 and acquired by Fox News Media via a licensing deal with a company called Gulfstream Studios – to be repurposed into a new podcast.

People can be ignorant and even sexist without being manosphere. Neither of those strikes me as super Joe Rogan or Ben Shapiro-ey.

But yeah, we’re living in two separate worlds, and when a person ignores what half of us experience, it’s no different from a white person saying that black people just need to be polite to the police, the way they are. (As a teenager, I was regrettably that white person. But I’ve grown, and so can others in that situation)

You thinking Fox or our America news?

On Lemmy? You probably get the absolute worst of it on /c/womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone , but you do a good job moderating if it’s here, because it never sticks around long enough for me to see it on there!

Rubio looks appropriately disappointed in himself.

I’m from the US, so I grew up on a lot of talk about religious freedom (I know it’s just talk now, but it’s still colored my perspective) and these always rub me the wrong way. I grew up in an environment that is more prudish than the one I live in, and I’m proportionally more private than the people around me. I would be intensely uncomfortable if it were mandated that I wear a two piece bathing suit (edit: at the beach, not just around town), for example.

I know that coercion exists and some of the people wearing headscarves wish they could express themselves more freely and feel oppressed by them, but can’t practically oppose them unless there’s a law backing them up. I get why the law exists, but it feels so, so much worse to force someone to expose a part of themselves that they consider private than to force someone to cover something up that they don’t consider private.

It feels like the difference between a venue requiring long pants and a jacket and a venue doing public pat downs. Both can be uncomfortable, but one feels like a much more serious invasion of privacy.

Is there something I’m not considering here? I could definitely be overlooking something, especially since I’m in contact with a ton of immigrants from Muslim countries and have very little contact with their descendants, who are probably the group most likely to feel pressured to wear a scarf they don’t want to.

Edit: that said, I get that this one is for under 14s, which makes it a lot easier to stomach for me

Yeah, freakonomics is often this close to making a breakthrough and then they back off into neoliberalism
