again, if it's graded, that's a huge problem
unless it was graded based on shit like, refused to participate, skipped every question, etc
with max points just being "actually sat and thought about the questions"
considering that getting the students to think about the questions is the only acceptable goal that this test could have
The halloween 'razorblade in apples'/'poisoned candy' story is just an urban legend, but in Australia: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-16/contaminated-strawberries-in-punnet-bought-in-adelaide-hills/10253528
```This latest incident comes after several reports of strawberries contaminated by pins and needles up and down the east coast of Australia.
Before this case in South Australia, six brands of strawberries — Donnybrook Berries, Love Berry, Delightful Strawberries, Oasis brands, Berry Obsession and Berry Licious — had been affected.
```
heard about that from Bearing
's wife Suggartits
This is even worse than the memory hole.
The paper is not just _gone_, it's _stealthily replaced_.
If you want to see the really bad sign, imagine what happens if this becomes the norm in a decade or so.
yeah I just read that too
fucking terrible
she has a public statement pretty much just saying "nup"
hope she catches some horrible brain eating disease that will let her realize she is slowly being trapped in her body and suffers from endless pain...... if its true.
uh oh someone stepped in lettuce again
zombies
HOLY \*\*\*\*. You Brits are in for a fight. If this gets momentum...
"Because these closed forums [Facebook Groups] can be given a “secret” setting, they can be hidden away from everyone but their members. This locks out the police, intelligence services and charities that could otherwise engage with the groups and correct disinformation. This could be particularly crucial with groups where parents are told not to vaccinate their children against diseases."
"That’s why I am introducing a bill in parliament which will do just that. By establishing legal accountability for what’s published in large online forums, I believe we can force those who run these echo chambers to stamp out the evil that is currently so prominent. Social media can be a fantastic way of bringing people together – which is precisely why we need to prevent it being hijacked by those who instead wish to divide."

The poison doesn't have this long of a shelf life. If this is the connected then it's either the Russians throwing the scent off, someone working at the chemistry lab near by is fucking around (which I highly doubt coz if it had come from there in the first place then it would be on lock down while we blame the Russians.
@pratel This woman is mad. I'm not going to read the guardian but she also says something about making Mods of these forum legally response for what is said in them.
Agreed. I hear it passed first reading.
I actually found the article in a reason article. They seem to think that the real goal here might be to ban secret groups. Mark Warner (D-VA-US Senate) in the US had a similar line of thinking--and his was far scarier and far more wide-reaching
It seems it's as ad as it sounds in this case: https://reason.com/blog/2018/09/12/british-lawmaker-wants-to-ban-your-priva
I think I remember hearing about that. This should be an easy one to beat. Victims of domestic violence need these groups. Play the woman card.
Cheeres I'll give that a read.
They'll just make an exception saying only 'hate' groups are banned.
'hate' being whatever policy they don't like, such as being anti-migrant
That's where the making mods liable comes from. There's probably an easy out she would have in mind in that case.
My guess is that it looks something like NGOs or companies can operate private forums and are subject to legal scrutiny and are required to turn over logs to the police if requested.
@Atkins that's too coarse and already how it works at the same time. They wouldn't just ban "hate" groups--that's too obvious. They'll just vigorously prosecute people under the laws that already exist in Britian.
you got your facebook group loicense mate?
Everyone in UK needs to write a letter to their MP, The Conservative Party and this dumb wench.
HATE SPEECH! WE HAVE HATE SPEECH OVER HERE! SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE ON THIS GROSS VIOLENCE!
The best way IMO to help the minimum wage thing in the US is what we do in AU, if someone doesn't provide a valid Tax number then they get taxed 50% of their wage, which pays for things like healthcare and stuff. It basically stops migrants working for less and not contributing to the country
Whatever the wage is, doesn't matter, one item of products will always be worth a percentage of a different item, so increasingly wages can only ever increase cost of living. The key is to circulate money in a way that it benefits locals and keeps the money inside the country
Everything wrong with Poltics in an example of a PC Building Video ;)

I can't believe they haven't come after Britwit for his Chinaman already. He's scatting on thin ice here boys.
