My middle-school aged kids explained the difference between cooked and cookin' to me the other day, and now they really get to roll their eyes when I intentionally use them in as corny ways as possible.

Bonus points for coming with other, terrible, slang. You can really get a cringe if you say something like "Chat, we're cookin' now - I'm all rizzed up”

Lol I didn't even know they were actually bidding. I saw a Lemmy comment yesterday saying they should, but I didn't think they actually would do it.

Honestly, if Trump did this it would completely change my view of him. Jokingly gnawing on a baby turkey leg is a very human thing to do, and I just could never see Trump doing it.

I really wish this article had more information, but the way it's written is very vague and potentially rage-baiting. The only fact stated about the incident is:

Students at Clack Middle School were allegedly told by a staff member that they would begin tracking menstrual cycles for female students.

The word "they" in that sentence is unacceptably vague for a news article. Who is "they"? Is it the school and/or staff members? Because that's justifiably bullshit and rage worthy.

Or does "they" mean the individual student? If a health teacher is teaching students how to use a period tracker, then that's an entirely different story.

All in all, this is pretty lazy reporting that makes me think of how Fox News and its imitators get away with riling people up by completely misinterpreting a situation. With that being said, maybe this is a genuine case of a school doing something abhorrent. In which case, the journalist needs to do a better job providing the details rather than just one vague statement.

Get a sun shirt, homie. Reflects the sun off your skin so you're cooler, plus you don't have to wear sunscreen.

Didn't they actually have people in robot costumes previously though?

A friend of mine tried to convince me to get Factorio a couple days ago. Couldn't help but feel like he was a junky trying to get me to try just a little bit of heroin.
