chat thread 2021: if you fill up garbage cans with gas it will evaporate

interesting. what'd you teach? might be a part of my diss.

Mont Pelerin Society --> 60s counterculture reaction // Goldwater --> 80s conservative media --> ???

Just talked about Goldwater-Nixon-Reagan and the conservative alliance of free market capitalists and religious conservatives. The importance of Roe v. Wade and how this was a response to the rights revolution. I actually used this Crash Course video to introduce it and had my students discuss and answer questions about it, including making parallels to today's domestic politics. Then my kids did a Watergate "investigation" the second half of class.

Did you teach the Powell memo?

Nah we didn't get that deep into it. Sadly there's just not enough time. I'm one of the few teachers that actually makes it all the way through American history, but I'm in power mode right now because they moved our exams up a week.
 
Yeah and their damn Charlotte show is on a Monday night. oh well, I'll just have to settle for JRAD that following Saturday.

it's not the show, it's the driving back home. if it was a weekend night I'd do it. I will def go to weeknight shows here, but haven't done a concert since Halloween 2019. No Xmas Jam that year, then baby December 2019, then Covid. but I had some shows planned even with the baby before Covid hit. I'm ready to get the fuck down at some shows.

JRAD is a holdover from April of last year. Still holding on to 2 nights of the Truckers that were originally the week before JRAD last year. Bought 2 for Billy Strings in October. Hoping Leftover Salmon comes back for their annual Blue Ridge Jam in September, hoping for Xmas Jam to come back and hopefully some other cool shows are announced. Might hit Wilco/Sleater-Kinney in August.

Nice!

Right now I have Avett Brothers, Hall & Oates, and Black Crowes as hold over shows. I have tickets and a camping pass for Hinterland 2021 too. Will need to pick up Phish (Dick's) tix and Dead & Co. Waiting to see what else pops up this summer. JRAD was the band I most wanted to see going into the Pandemic and since they're back on the road, I'm hoping they put a Denver run on the schedule.
 
i have started getting emails from a 40 y/o female coworker who randomly throws a "~" in. I can't tell what it means. For example, on a discussion where she's trying to set up a call with her client and copying me....

Have a nice weekend ~

FYI ~ received out of office message until Monday. Let me know if you see a good time for Monday based on his calendar. Thanks ~

At first i thought it was kind of a "fingers only wave" but i don't think so in light of the FYI ~

also it's a lot of work to reach that key so you really need to be committed to this convention that you're trying to make happen
 
Gave up after an hour because top left corner got me. No idea about the Gold Coast port, forgot about Crip Camp, or Elizabeth Stanton's middle name

It means blah, blah, blah ~~~
 
When will OG Boards have the ability to add (she / her / hers) to our user names like everyone is now doing to their e-mail signatures at my work?

I feel lost without knowing how I should properly address everyone around here.

Apologies if I've offended anyone in the past.
 
I respect that teachers are out here speaking out against conservative bills that accuse them of indoctrinating children with socialist views and Brasky just out here saying “100 percent that’s what I’m doing.”

This seems like a good topic for the tunnels.

pretty sure these dumb bills are about updating curriculum regarding diversity not socialism. less concerned with socialism than maybe teaching kids that some of the founding fathers owned slaves and making them read books written by POC or have gay characters

I use that to mean approximately. No clue if I’m using it correctly
