Well added to that is that you have to take every single one in your class home for a playdate at least once, and that multiple playdates in a row with the same kids are discouraged. It seems draconic and controlling - but it creates an incredible cohesive social group in each class

No not really, was bullied myself, understands the dynamics and bullying is a group phenomenon - not a one on one. If your peers a very aware of it not being allowed and discouraging it - you dont't get the social "credits" for applying it and it fizzles - then again if you dont learn the lesson you're expelled.

Works

This was actually a public school in "thonon sur le mans" (lake geneve)

Thanks appreciated!

Its funny that this is still a thing - the only reason why bullying happens is because the culture of it is not broken by the school itself.

My kids go to a scholl where: 1: you can only ever arrange playdates or gatherings with a maximum of 2 other kids - or its the whole class 2: bullying is not allowed in any way shape or form 3: no one is allowed to exclude others from games, plays or events 4: this is rigorously enforced 5: no smartphones or the likes until 4th grade (11-12)

This is then instilled in parents and kids, any crossing of those lines is debated in a democratic way and creates a selfenforcing positive feedback Loop

So controversial anecdote: I was an exchange student in france (from denmark) for a few months - when i was around 14. And i was shocked to my core when i saw how teachers and the schoolsystem was put together.

There was a boy in my class that had difficulties at home and struggled in school (daydreaming instead of focusing etc) and i clearly remember this scene where the teacher mocked him infront of the class saying stuff like "looking out the window again are we, no wonder you're slow and stupid when you dont participate" - queue the other kids laughing.

This happened across classes, multiple times with different people. The teachers where petty, confrontational towards other with differing opinions and did not enjoy being challenged in any ways, shape or form.

(I landed myself at the principals office multiple time by defending the vulnerable ones against draconic teachers) - and i'm not sure if it's still allowed - but i witnessed multiple times where teachers hit students.

(This was a "good" school btw.)

It was clearly an institutional culture, and they didn't know what to do with me because i came from the complete opposite and had the moral highground constantly - the kids where sad when i went back, the teachers (& principal) happy.

Oh, and the actual level of teaching was super bad, all learning by hearth - no "think for yourself", composition or divergent thinking allowed

I certainly am, It's just the same old echo-chamber reverberating across themes

I never understood why the spacex sattelites dont have shitty webcams on their "dark side"

Great ressource!

I never understood why people are so dogged on hiring - just get a senior consultant - pay 2-3x and save the equity. it's faster and in the end the expenses level out (cost of hiring, 401, insurance etc.)

Make the contract with 1 months notice both ways and it's pretty much for all intent and purpose a hiree

Some of my best games have been the ones without weapons, powers and shenannigans -

Playing kids, playing people with delusions of grandeur, playing deaf/mute, playing madly in love etc.

After years we just ditched the rules and only threw dice to keep things random.

Sorry couldn't let this one go: I hope you've internalized completely that it wasn't your fault - and you where just a kid trying to survive - again not your fault.

Big hug

You're doing it wrong ;) Potatoes will sprout if they are in higher temperatures and they are in the dark.

Keep them in the fridge or in the light

Great read thanks!

well, a lot of the cost of medTech equipment lies in the certification and SLA. there's a reason why a medical rated scissor is 1000 USD and the same sold on amazon is 20 USD.

could you perhaps try with a real comparison at : https://photos.app.goo.gl/gwokp4WT8JPvyue98

or explain why its the same image psd'ed to low rez?
