re: Alabama high school girls basketball coach charged with the you know what

What is it with these people sleeping with students?
You have to think that there are plenty doing it and getting away with it. How many kids don’t report it?
And if this many are acting on it, there has to be plenty fantasizing about it but not going through with it.
Humans are pretty fricked up. Guess that’s why the first thing about humans in the Bible is us fricking up.

Former Alabama high school girls basketball coach indicted for sex with student
quote:
A former Alabama high school girls’ basketball coach has been indicted by a grand jury for allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with a student.
Paige Adams, 35, is charged with two felony crimes – school employee engaging in a sex act or deviant sexual intercourse with a student and school employee having sexual contact with a student under the age of 19.
quote:
She is also charged with 30 misdemeanor counts of a school employee distributing obscene material to a student.
The indictments were issued Tuesday. A short time later, Adams was booked into the Cullman County Jail Tuesday and released after posting bonds totaling $225,000 and placed on electronic monitoring.
Adams was in her first year as the varsity girls basketball coach at Cold Springs High School but resigned after the investigation was launched last month. She was escorted from the school property last month after a formal complaint was filed.
re: One composer, two films, same year...

And most amazing about John Williams is that he did most of his composing and orchestrating himself. A lot of film composers nowadays just write the main themes and have a team of orchestrators and sound engineers to complete the details.
Williams did most of it himself.
Here's Conrad Pope, one of JW's orchestrators, talking about it:

And again, what Musk is actually saying here takes this line of thought out of the equation as the AI/robotics will create goods and services in absolute abundance. It isn't anything that the "elite" will need to concern themselves with because all needs will be met. And then some. And then a lot.
Oh, yes. I forgot that history tells us that powerful men make decisions always in the best interests of others.
This is also assuming a future where interplanetary travel is possible such that these abundant goods and services don’t deplete the planet of resources, right?

Yes. Not in the immediate future in my opinion, but our current class of kids needs to be concerned about their future.
If the super rich and governmental elite (with the backing of military technology) have no use for most people and most people require needs, goods, and services to stay alive, what’s the point of keeping most people around?

From what I can tell, the goal is to make the movie theater a Netflix model. As someone in the thread said: you can avoid those fees and the ticket prices if you’ll just commit to $20/month.
Nickel and dime on everything.

For example, no problem spending $100 for a 3 hour baseball game experience plus parking, plus food and drinks but complain about paying cheaper prices for a 3 hour movie experience.
What are you talking about?
For one, no, I don’t spend money on sporting events. I stopped going to Auburn games when it was $300 to see Auburn lose to New Mexico St.
Also, it’s not a 3 hour movie. It’s an hour and a half. Movies are high production, but in the past—recent past—movies with similar production costs didn’t require everyone paying $16/ticket.
Did you really just compare a movie to a professional or collegiate sporting event?
Just here to complain about movie ticket prices
Posted by StringedInstruments on 4/18/26 at 11:05 am
I assume this is a tired topic, but I don't get the chance to take my family to the movies very often. I just got tickets for the matinee today for the new Mario movie.
4 tickets = $80. There's a $10 convenience fee I could avoid if I pay $18 for a year's worth of avoiding convenience fees. Considering we get to the movies once or twice a year, it's barely worth it.
Adding in a few drinks and the candy we're going to smuggle in my wife's purse, that's a $100 outing. To see a 1 hour and 38 minute movie.
I'm sorry but that's not worth it.
In 1996, the average cost of a movie ticket was ~$4.42. In 2012, it was $7.92. In 2026, it's $16.08.

re: Private schools parents: What do you pay for tuition?
Posted by StringedInstruments on 4/14/26 at 10:02 am to GreenRockTiger
Where the hell does everyone get so much money?
$22k + $18k in private school tuition would crush us. We make $150k/year combined.
I keep reading about inflation, gas prices, grocery prices (see my thread on it), housing prices, insurance costs, taxes, clothes, goods, everything. It's all getting too expensive.
But seems like a lot of people have boats, nice cars, a big house, private school tuition, vacations, alcohol, jewelry, the works.
Make it make sense.

My father-in-law has dementia, and it’s one of the most challenging diseases imaginable. Godspeed if that’s what it is.
I would make the appointment and then tell him it’s time to leave. Don’t let it become a conversation or argument. Be insistent and demanding until he gets in the car with you. He needs an evaluation by a neurologist. ASAP.

Any thoughts on men who refuse to pay for their wives to stay home with the kids?
Posted by StringedInstruments on 4/13/26 at 11:18 am
One of my wife's friends is married to a very successful salesman in an engineering field. They live in a big house, take amazing vacations, and have all the other signs of being really wealthy.
They do keep their bank accounts separate and always have. My wife's friend pays for her own car, her own clothes, and the groceries. He covers everything else.
When they started having kids, he said, "It's not my responsibility to pay for your vacation" in regards to her staying home. She took a 2 month maternity leave with each of their kids that she supplemented with her own savings.
They can obviously afford for her to. But he doesn't want to pay for it.
Smart man? Or what?
