D_wnv_te ratio here is a decent indicator of the proportion of readers who are out of touch with the experience of being a teenager in an environment run by administrators who are violently hellbent on making sure no one is allowed to do anything they did as teenagers.
Either you get it or you don't, but I'm not sorry for using HN's "B-word". Before you click the button, do some introspection.
- a1369209993 6y agoFWIW, I downvoted you for the grossly unjustified implication that this sort of unconscionable malfeasance on the part of school administrators is in any way "shocking", unbelieveable, or specific to "lead-contaminated Boomer"s, rather than a predictable result of putting small-minded fascistic pricks (of any generation) in that sort of position of authority.
- Igelau 6y agoNoted. Next factor in: [1] the fascistic pricks of my generation (who are still most of today's fascistic pricks) happen to be what I said they were, and [2] I never said all Boomers were lead-contaminated or that this was historically unique to only them. Now we don't even disagree on semantics.

I can't believe how doggedly the schoolboard pursued this We agree that it's bad, but it isn't surprising. > I never said [...] that this was historically unique to only [Boomers]. > > > (anyone who isn't [both] lead-contaminated [and a] Boomer)[superset] would just shrug and walk away. > > > (anyone who isn't a Boomer)[subset] would just shrug and walk away Yes, you did.
- Igelau 5y agoI can't even read your butchering of my words for all the bracketing. You call it implication born between my words, but I call it interpretation born between your ears. What it's confessing, I have no idea.
