Reply to What is the dumbest or weirdest thing you got in trouble for growing up? by CoachMcGuirk_1

I was a very quiet kid in elementary school. My grades weren't great to begin with, but one day my teacher called my home before I got there and said I was screwing around in class, talking too much, passing notes, and all around being disruptive. Well, she had called the wrong phone number because I knew exactly which kid she was talking about and it sure as hell wasn't me. Didn't matter though, I got home not expecting anything because I didn't do anything wrong and was met with the full wrath and fury of my dad flipping his shit over my grades "and now this". Then I got in trouble for lying because they didn't believe me when I said the idiot teacher must have dialed the wrong number. All they had to do was call her back, but nope.

Reply to What is the worst piece of advice that is given to young people? by Legitimate_Soup2521

i’m a “young” person and the biggest lie i’ve ever been told is that it gets better. in no my point in my life has it gotten better. i have increasingly less free time and ability to do what i want. i have increasingly bigger and bigger problems to deal with and i find myself fucked by my governments systems at nearly every turn.

Reply to Oregon citizens voted to become part of Idaho, forming Greater Idaho. Could this bring about "Big dakota" and other potential state changes? what state ls would you like to see modified or added? by BullfrogNo2127

Eastern Oregonians can vote all they want but I seriously doubt Idaho has any interest in absorbing another state’s sparse high desert region. Most of Oregon’s money is generated in the western portion of the state. Why would Idaho want to manage the infrastructure for the less productive half, and pay into their school systems and all that? What would they get out of that situation?
