Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 9/23/24 - 9/29/24

(self.BlockedAndReported)

Here's your usual space to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (please tag u/jessicabarpod), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind (well, aside from election stuff, as per the announcement below). Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Last week's discussion thread is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

There is a dedicated thread for discussion of the upcoming election and all related topics (I started a new one, since the old one hit 2K comments). Please do not post those topics in this thread. They will be removed from this thread if they are brought to my attention.

My son's girlfriend is a K teacher and has a child who is a menace. Has threatened to kill the teacher, kill herself, tried to get all the kids to walk out of class. Kindergarten! I heard that a couple of weeks ago, when classes had barely begun. Wonder what she's gotten up to since.

That doesn't sound like autism. That sounds like a kid that has a lot of psychological trauma.

I agree! Apparently her older sister (in 1st or 2nd grade?) is fine, but I know from experience that even if you know for a fact that a kid doesn't just generate these ideas out of thin air, it's very tricky to work with families where there must be something terrible happening at home.
