You’re right, no 13 year old autistic boy has ever made a serious threat! It’s always totally obvious if threatening words from a stranger should be taken seriously or not. Teachers are also always given the full background on every kid in their classroom without exceptions so they should have ignored protocol when hearing a kid say their backpack is going to blow up.

How could I forget that every single kid with malice in their heart fits the brooding edgelord mold from Columbine and that having autism totally precludes violent intentions?

Teachers DO NOT GET PAID ENOUGH for that. And even if they were paid fairly, their job isn’t to assess and handle bomb threats.

The teacher was 100% right to call the administrators. The administrators were 100% wrong to do anything more than gently educate him on his word choice.

Do not leave letters in the neighbors’ mailboxes informing them that a neo Nazi lives by them. Do not elaborate on his history of violent rhetoric. Do not do anything that would make him feel like an outcast in his neighborhood.

Do not print this information along with his name, address, and photo and give it to every store, restaurant, and fast food place in a 20 mile radius. Especially avoid letting the underpaid staff know about any of this. We DO NOT want him to receive poor service wherever he goes. It would be BAD if he was scared to leave the house. It would be EVEN WORSE if his GrubHub driver crushed or shook his meal. I would HATE to hear that his address got blacklisted for delivery.

Do not go to his house in Berwyn, IL. You will not be able to find it on Google maps because it’s the only house on the block that’s blurred out.

Absolutely do not go to his house at all hours of the day and night. Do not look out for cops when you dont go to his house. Do not legally knock on his door.

And most of all, DO NOT make him feel the same fear that his words have brought to so many women.

I am saying the admins acted poorly but the teacher was justifiably scared.

The teacher, who had only known Ty for one day, called a school administrator

Sure but it wasn’t his autism that sparked fear

His autism didn’t spark fear…saying the school would blow up if anyone looked in his backpack sparked fear. He should not have been arrested but c’mon, if a kid I just met said that to me I’d call the front office, too.

he told his teacher he didn’t want anyone to look in his backpack […] When the teacher asked why, Ty responded, “Because the whole school will blow up,”

Arresting him was overreacting. Perceiving his words as a threat was not

For 2, I initially thought the same thing…but Trump is on board to “finish the job” in Palestine. I’m sure all the countries controlled by a corrupt Muslim government have SOME mixed feelings on the orange turd.

Either way, I’m glad it failed. Just imagine the Christ allegory his cult would spin out of it.

Kind of a useless image since it doesn’t help visualize anything really. I can’t even think of a format that it world make sense on since those surveyed answered yes to multiple things

the MAGA political class, which remains fundamentally liberal

?

That’s where I’m at with it. I can’t get into a game knowing I don’t have the energy to get good at playing…

Failed implies they tried :)

Image posts should be banned on all news communities. Just post the link to the article. We don’t need a screenshot of the headline.

Someone added that clipart to the thumbnail and thought it was a good addition. I feel so embarrassed on their behalf

It doesn’t absolve Hamas by any means (fuck Hamas) but October 7th had big Pearl Harbor vibes

Why speak the truth so sarcastically?

The lesser of two evils is still evil but in our binary voting system, abstaining IS giving your vote to the greater evil. It’s the trolley problem and the default position of the lever is sending it at the worse outcome.

But if not pulling the lever makes you sleep better at night, I’m sure all the additional people suffering will understand…

That window is the only ad I purposely allow in my life. I know I can disable it but it sometimes informs me of games I want

Ohh you have some big guys!

Yeah, I lived alone at the time so we were around each other constantly. Especially after the lop passed, the white one clung to me even when I got her a new friend.

I don’t mean this condescendingly, but maybe that’s why they’re harder to train! Mine were completely free range except for one room they weren’t in alone and another they were never allowed in (didn’t want to rabbit proof)

Here’s two of em. The white one was my darling. She was the lop’s protector because he was a sick little guy

Not to say I didn’t like the others but I ADORED the one that knew commands. They were all rescues but the other two were neglected and had health problems so it took awhile for them to warm up to me and they didn’t live as long. The very trained one was with me for 12 years and followed me everywhere. She’d come running when I got home from work to meet me at the door, too.

[Edited a bunch of typos. Was I asleep when I wrote this??]

I’ve had 3 and they were all as trainable as a cat. Ran to me when I called their names, used the litter box, and knew the command “periscope”

One of them knew “spin” and “kisses,” too
