Ok, you got data to back it up? I'm fine with it and I think it makes sense given that charter school populations are self selected. But I'd like to see the data.

Case studies aren't summarized data. They're extremely long-form anecdotes. It's also not JUST about charter schools, students are bused out of poor schools and into better schools as part of other kinds of programs as well.

It would be hard to collect and summaries all the anecdotes into something easily linkable. I would have to write an entire report.

I will say that the fact that average charter schools come out as average when viewed in aggregate is actually a big positive point for how good the the good charter schools are, because the bad charter schools are complete and total shams.

Oh ok. I'd hate to force you to do any work to back up your wild assertions or anything. I guess I will just accept what you say as fact with no support.

That's why I say go get crunked. There is joy in life. You need to be reminded what it feels like, even if it's a false chemical joy. I'm not saying it to be patronizing.

I've had buddies tell me that sort of thing before, and I've had occassion to say that sort of thing to a buddy before. "I hear ya. This weekend."

Lacking that, it also works solo. But obviously there's a danger in that. But you have to weigh relative risks, ya know.

Go do something that you don't normally do.

You yourself have admitted to having a toxic personality and being unable to cope with people in a normal manner. This you said is from your situation at home, which I don't doubt. Regardless, anyone talking of killing themselves in a public setting should seek help. It isn't something to joke about or throw out randomly.

I admitted to being no fun to be around, not to being toxic. I have almost no personality. I rarely speak when not directly spoken to. When I do, it is awkward, and people find that frustrating to be around. I make jokes about how boring I am, to disguise the amount of emotional pain I'm in.

I used to be better. I had some friends. But after my mom tried to kill herself, I just stopped talking to anyone for a while.

I'm not an imminent suicide threat. But if my choices are being alone and awkward for the rest of my life, or being dead, I'll gladly take the latter. I could take drugs to elevate my mood, but they wouldn't actually give me a personality. I could drink to disguise the fact that I don't have a personality like many people do, but that would just leave me vulnerable for someone to hurt me. I wouldn't be able to handle being abused any more than I already have been, and I won't put myself into a situation where I could become a victim.

This thread got real sad.

I don't want sad in my SJW shaming.

Yes, lets get back to SJW shaming. The strange meta trolling between Mist and Keg is ruining this thread's vibe. (Mist, by the way, if you're really that depressed, get some help and ditch your toxic mom.)

Lena Dunhamon how shelearnedshe was raped; after the fact. Now, couple things to note in the story. At one point, Lena realizes the guy does not have a condom on, and then pushes him away in the middle of sex and tells him to leave--he does so. ALSO, at another point, her friend separates her from the guy she is walking back to the apartment with, she chooses to push her friend away and continue on with the man to the apartment. During sex, she is talking dirty to the man having sex with her (From what I've read in other sources, she is essentially telling him how she wants him to fuck her.) But later on, she is convinced by her friend it was rape....because she was drunk. Even though, CLEARLY she was not incapacitated and remembered all the events. And even though, when it was done, she didn't regard it as rape. But because later on she thought the guy was "creepy"--and she was drunk, her roommate convinced her it was rape.Amazing.

Edit: Maybe there is something in the actual book I'm missing...but what a ridiculous line for "what is rape". That all that's needed is to find the person "creepy" the next morning and to have been drunk. By those standards, how many men are raped every year? If the guy woke up next to Lena, and saw she was a hambeast and regretted what happened, is he raped now? She did say she was also agressive, talking dirty to him ect--so why isn't the guy "raped"? Is the line literally because he didn't complain or feel bad about it?

Well, from the details in that article, doesn't sound even remotely close to rape. Can we at least all agree that, given the details in that story, that isn't rape?

I would agree, yes. I edited the post above to just edify why I think it's ridiculous. But essentially, when the guy was asked to stop, he immediately left (Not to mention when her friend intervened, he ALSO left, but she went and found himagainafter telling her friend to fuck off). Also, if what I read about her "dirty talk" is true, then at some points, she was actually the aggressor, telling him to fuck her ect. So, given he was ALSO drunk--if the next morning he woke up and saw Lena was a regrettable choice; is that rape?

Anyway, the way she described it--she felt bad about her friend not responding to her advances, so she went and fucked someone else, regretted it and now it's rape.

the more women keep trying to expand the definition of rape to be more and more inane, the more tone deaf the world will become to actual violent rape.

it's all going according to plan.
