And it's believed that the Great Lakes region was home to an inland sea, which was plugged from the Arctic by glacial ice. The ice collapsed, and the sea flooded out through Canada into the Arctic.

"pulls out google"... gimme a sec

speaking of Atlantis though, I saw a theory that it's actually in Africa, supposedly there are these rings in the desert, not sure if i buy it though

Thanks for doing my work for me. Im lazy and on a phone.

@Jabba You got a YouTube channel?

@AlanPowell **WAKANDA FOREVER!**

No. If it were in a desert it would be buried in so much sand

You wouldn't even see circles

they are big earth mounds in circles

Sounds like settlements to me.

yeah, need to right click and save I'm afraid

This is meant to be a combo of all the data combined into a single map, so similar to what I've been doing myself...

From what I can tell, the only way to monitor increase in land height is to compare reading from year-to-year, so cannot be precise about events in pre-history.

The stuff that is now submerged is different inasmuch that we can see where they are, and can be quite accurate about when they were lost due to impacts/landslips etc.

Where's that boys being taught they can have periods article?

Brighton and Hove... gay centre of Britain - no wonder they talking bollocks like that

What the actual fuck.

it's all about trans inclusion... nothing about destroying society's standards... umm, honest

Those are the same things.

You can be trans. Nothing wrong with that. But we shouldn't pretend that it's normal or to be expected.

first tolerance, then inclusion, then ?

then enforced operations

state enforced homosexuality, sam hyde was right

"you've got a pretty face, let's make you a girl"... like that scene in Caligula

Enforced operations already occur in the U.S.

Not even kidding.

these people are really smart, they make it a taboo to criticize something BEFORE they implement it

all the phobias and isms are in place already, god forbid you don't want unchecked migration or any other thing they are pushing for

"well you just hate fill in the blank"

so shut up

or here in Britain "Shut up while we wait for the police to arrive and arrest you"

the best option is to homeschool your kids, or find a nice private school that isnt insane. at least before it becomes illegal to do so

My problem with homeschooling is the ideology that kids learn from crazy ass parents.

^

I was a homeschooler

Met a lot of fucked up kids

and that is better than the state ideology how?

Because the state ideology is half assed and you can see through it

Most homeschooling I know of is due to religious extremism.

How about decentralized public schools, and the teachers and curriculum need to be approved by the local community?

Well

yeah, but that will never happen

which was kinda my point

I kind of went to that

It was a charter school

the left can't stand that, it's really funny in a way

Again I am skeptical of decentralization. My city and locale is just as nuts, if not moreso, than the centralized system.

Which brings me to my point of, I dont see the US lasting another generation

nah decentralization is the way to go

Also charter schools are damaging funding for public schools. Which is a problem if you can't afford a charter school.

@EnderOctanuslol wut?

i'm not very optimistic either, but you never know what will happen @Fitzydog

They usually operate at a lower cost than the public schools

I come from a long line of soldiers and teachers. Fairly well versed on the subject.

How low the operating cost is doesn't matter if you don't go there.

Thomas Sowell speaks highly of charter schools

It's not free, yet the government mandates that all children must attend school.

They're usually under their budget, unlike the other ones

Which frankly is BS

"No child left behind" is a disaster.

public schools are bad in general

we learned the same thing in every grade

Well yeah but if the government would let them run at the state level it would be so much better. Get those dumb ass policies out.

If a kid won't learn, kick them out.

if you say stuff like that, people will act as though you shot their grandma

leftists are really emotional about any sort of change in that direction

The charter schools here, are an offshoot of a single district, and they're funded with the per-student amount that their home district would have gotten, but it's diverted to the charter school

Too bad.

And yes, that's how it works everywhere

That seems much better, I don't see the problem

Issue is when poor neighborhoods have the state put many of their students in charter schools, taking the funding with them.

Suddenly you can hardly afford textbooks let alone pay the teachers fairly

how much good would it do if we just got rid of teachers unions?

Bad idea.

That sounds like a budgeting problem, not a charter school problem

Fuck teachers unions

Teachers are one of the most important professions because they groom the future. But get paid shit.

My uncle just retired early because of that

Privatize all this shit

they don't get paid shit really, but yeah i'm with Fitz, most of this shit would be better privatized

My mother was going to get fucked over and not get her benefits because of her sabatical, so the union pressured the school board to pay out. I would probably be homeless.

She can barely walk.

He was threatened with a knife by a MIDDLE SCHOOL student, brought him to the priniple, the student was apologized to, my uncle reprimanded, and the the kids PARENTS threatened him in a parking lot after school

wtf?

She worked with inner city kids and put up with racist little black kids in foster care, that wouldn't listen to anything you told them.

Yeah sounds normal

*He teaches fucking music.*

haha

Happens all the time. The parent is the customer.

Fuck unions in general

was this in the ghetto or something?

Sort of, but not really

Gangsta Rap Classes

It's just social justice ideology on behalf of the union

That's the opposite of a union problem

The union should have led a lawsuit

no, that kid would be gone

Sounds like your uncle had a seriously fucked up union

Really? The union is the one telling him he can't punish the ~~black~~ under privileged students

🤔

It's one of the largest in the country

I dunno, maybe shit's different now

Very

Veritas did a thing on them

Another issue I have with charter schools, is that their teachers don't typically do their own lessons. They get handed what to do and say.

That is a good way to introduce institutional bias into instruction.

We should pay teachers better, so more people would be willing to teach. And stop basing pay on performance of students. That leads to the smarter kids getting no attention.

You serious?

Absolutely.

Lemme explain

The budget here has like $15k per student per year in funding

They look at the average scores of a class to judge a teacher on. Sounds great right?

Teachers get like $45k/yr, plus a vacation

Sounds like you've been hoovering up the Leftist talking points about our schools

Problem is, the best way to raise the scores, is to focus on the students with the worst scores. Raise the low scores and you look like your doing really well.

The administrators make 6 figures a year

In reality you're focusing on a minority of the classroom, and the best students don't excel.

Fuck the admin

They're always shit

You can't though, they're protected by the union

And no, I'm not taking any talking points. These are all observations made by my mother and I over many years.

Why can't teachers negotiate their own wages?

They're not really teachers though, they're bureaucrats.

And good fucking luck. You're negotiating with the government.

Unless you know someone on the school board you're fucked.

So.... privatize the school?

So they can negotiate their wages

Would be great. But when government mandates everyone attend school, even homeless kids need to have access.

The Jesuits seemed to do it just fine before we made them public

But Oregon did it first, because the Protestants were scared of Catholic schools

Where do they make their money if tuition is free?

And if tuition isn't free then where do poor kids go?

I literally just told you

You realize schools used to be charitable organizations operated by the church, right?

Jesuits?

hmm

How many students can you support on just charity?

As many as you like. How many can we now, by forcing people to pay for I via taxation?

That might work on a local level but on a national one, I don't see that working.

So?

That's the point

Not when the fed is demanding their policies be followed.

Fuck the fed

@Fitzydog still talking to this statist?

Yes

Lol he supports teachers unions

fuck the fed

```The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

```

get fucked

Agreed, but the fed isn't gonna go away just because you asked them to.

I haven't asked with my gun yet

Get "no child left behind" undone and we can make progress.

Get the feds out of everything

^

I want Americans to forget the presidency even exists, except when they look it up in some political document

That's how small the fed should be

Also my neighborhood is trying to incorporate into its own city, so that it can form it's own school board. But the parish keeps fighting us, not letting us have a vote on it.

Because we'd take shit loads of taxes with us.

governemnt is gay

So we're racists

Have you tried using force?

@Fitzydog Battle of Athens this shit

We're mostly old people in their 70s.

They ain't fighting shit lol

And public opinion outside the area is greatly against us

then take your assfuck like champ

Have been. We keep doing new petitions. If we can get a certain number of signatures they have to let us vote.

but that's not gonna happen

They drag it out though and give almost no time to get the petition done

EIN VOLK EIN REICH EIN FUHRER

you guys are just gonna keep on complaining and complaining and ain't nothing is gonna get solved

Yeah. Pretty much.

Lynching the county officals would solve this real quickly

Put some Jersey barriers somewhere and make your own checkpoint

Everyone's retired and doesn't wanna deal with this shit.

^ This is why America won't last a half century

Issue is we don't have many new parents moving in.

That's who will do shit

We've just aged and not replaced our population with a younger one. Fucking sucks. I'm 25 btw lol

so who is even gonna go to this school?

Our mayor is fucking Satan.

I don't care

you're wasting your time here bitching endlessly

Oh we have local kids. Just not nearly as many as you'd expect given the size of the subdivision.

Make more signs

Go knock on doors

They're everywhere. And yeah we do that. We just turned in the petition and are waiting to see if we get to vote now.

I kinda expect some underhanded fuckery.

Show up to the council meetings and make a ruckus every time

Shout powerful rhetoric

yeah, pull an alex jones

"WE WILL HAVE OUR SOVERIGNTY!"

Gay frogs?

To be fair I think our frogs might legit be gay

you just need to show up, don't let them shut you out

talk about how you have hot blood and so on

The poor people outnumber us.

Very liberal city. Well used to be liberal, leftist now.

So you let them win, by not participating earlier

Not YOU

But 'yall'

shoot the poor

Hate our mayor's title. "Mayor-President Broome."

Mayor of both the Capitol city and the parish.

Sounds like some gay east coast shit

Nah Baton Rouge

Ahh, that's right

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable

It's still way better than fucking New Orleans though

Even worse, it's french

your mayor is a black woman?

We have the bad ass kind of French though.

Yes

My forefathers moved out west for a reason: To get away from those crazed fucks back east

All our Frenchies carry shotguns

And catch snakes and shit

and inbred

That too

Our French assimilated, and now all that's left are a couple of location names

Well their communities were always so isolated. They've begun to dwindle. They make the best food and live off the land (swamps).

Sounds like gay multiculturalism

@Fitzydog fun fact: did you know louisiana gives the largest corporate subsidies in the nation?

Nah, that's the creole.

Oh really?

And yeah, we have tons of industry.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWTic9btP38&t=12s

Our cities are leftist, everywhere else is super conservative.

Subsidies are taxes by another name

Hell, even most of the cities are conservative

```Immediately following her election, Mayor-President Broome convened a team of 300 diverse residents to be part of her transition team. Residents ranged from millennials to seniors, who represented various races, education levels and socioeconomic statuses. Among the issues covered were flood recovery, community-police relations, education, economic development, race relations, and transportation.```

Are they 'conservative', or are they 'redneck'?

Mmm well it keeps the petrochemical industry from picking up for Africa and shit.

Conservative AND redneck.

Cause we have 'redneck' towns that mooch off welfare checks and vote blue constantly

Oh, nah, our rednecks aren't very liberal

They hate government

That's appreciable

When FEMA half-assed fixes your house a few times each decade you figure out how much the government will actually do for you.

Alright, first order of business!

We need to Redpill Spokane and Boise, to make sure we don't lose the inland territories

Wait, Spokane is already leftist though.

Is it? The rest of the region isnt

Yeah, Spokane is from what I heard from the sherif that refuses to enforce the new gun laws, though, in WA.
