I am having a tidy up of Communities/etc so quite a few will go. There’ll be some warning, but it will be done before August.

    I don’t ever remember my school having a science fair. (From the UK).

    Not once. I’ve seen enough on TV shows to get the idea but… yeah. We have a very different approach to education. No science fairs, and I am pretty sure no job fairs either? We occasionally had people come in to talk to us (Fire Brigade, two Soldiers, two nurses) but I think that was more about the teachers just wanting a morning off from teaching than thinking we should do a specific job. And no “bring your parent to school” day or “what does your parent do” day.

    The UK is very different to the US I am guessing?









  • If I am honest, I skip the episode every time.

    It just seems like a snotty and kind of cheap commentary on current life that makes no real attempt to understand how current life works. It’s like Seth and his writers looked at Twitter et al and thought “Oh, I’ve seen one or two bad incidents of something like this happening, so lets blow it up into something it isn’t”

    It kind of annoys me, and appeals to the idea that the internet is a “bad thing” ™ that is going to be the end of society and destruction of civilisation.

    Which, as I said, annoys me.

    For a series that I really like (and I do really like it) it’s the one episode I really can’t stand.
