School pickup lines are wild
(lemmy.world)
The fact that school pickup lines exist is wild.
It’s always money.
When I first moved to the town I live in now, I was impressed by the all new schools. However I eventually realized they replaced a bunch of older neighborhood schools with a smaller number of bigger schools. They saved money by providing a worse educational experience and making walking less likely.
We walked to my kids elementary school but the town saved money by not plowing the sidewalks in winter, nor forcing residents to. Our walk would require walking on a major street - until my ex went full Karen and made them plow
When my kids got to middle school, we were in “walking” distance so there was no bus. However that was a full mile including crossing a six lane road whose light was always broken, and they didn’t spring for a crossing guard . We ended up choosing a private school in a different town, so there were no buses nor walkability
Regional school districts are now common. More kids goto schools that are not even in their towns
Sometimes, the parents forget to pick up the kids so the teachers get to decide if they leave a child all alone with no help or if the teacher works unpaid over time
Greatest country in the world...

If only there were free public transport provided to every student outside a small radius of the school. That would make things so much simpler!
Seriously, I can’t wrap my head around this. Back in my day, pickup lines simply didn’t exist. You walked or you took the bus.

Hey... I'm so glad that guys kid is NOT homeschooled...
Ohh, school pick up lines as in, a line of cars picking up students. Not pick-up lines, like "Hey baby, can you show me where music class is, cause I feel like playing in A minor."
“Hey baby, can you show me where music class is, cause I feel like playing in A minor.”
The Epstein and co pick up line.
Welp, there's my cursed upvote of the day.
I need an adult
Like the guy in the truck gives a shit about the difference.

Only in the USA, the rest of the 1st World is normal.
the US is 1st world?
That guy must be a stepdad because no way he's made any children with his tiny wittle wee wee stick
I bet he'd rip his Achilles as well if he tried running more than the length of his micro unit.
There's a guy with 3 DUIs.
His compensator is compensating
Scared of the outside world so it needs a scary face, sitting in a nice comfy air-conditioned cab on big pillowy tyres, lots of lights because the dark is scary. How is this more manly than a bicycle?
Where I am at there's triple digit hear warnings, so there is a logic to this. On the other I have used my bicycle to pick up my daughter under such conditions so it is possible, but then she rightfully complains about the heat.
Oh HEAT. I went through that whole thing thinking hearing and that the ambient noise levels were above 100dB...
Lucky I’ve not encountered him, the urge to talk to him like a 5 year old would be too great.
“What a big truck you have! And it’s so high up! I bet you have to do a big jump to get up there. And look, it says “WAR” on the front, that’s fun! Did you put that on yourself, or did you ask a man do it for you?”
Conductor: Sir, this seat is for disabled people only.
Me, an intellectual: shows this picture I drive this.
Conductor: Sorry to have bothered you, sir.

I... I would not be brave enough to drive around in a "truck" like that. Like mad props for never out growing your edge lord phase.
I've inadvertently ridden my bicycle through a couple school zones during drop-off times - and I'm sure pick-up times would be even worse.
Cycling around cars has an element of risk that we all know and accept. But that risk goes WAY UP in school zones at drop-off time. You'd think drivers would be looking for kids, people, etc. as they drop their precious off IN A SCHOOL ZONE. But, no.
For example: One started to pull out in front of me - I was in the lane, riding past, and she was pulling out of the school's driveway. I avoided her with some vigorous braking, then she had the gall to pull up at a light and tell me I should be careful.
When I leave my home street, (on my bicycle,) I have to make a left hand turn. This means that I don't proceed through the intersection until it's safe, and I turn from the middle of the lane. My bike also has blinking turn signals, because people are dumb and don't understand hand signals for turns. I had one of my neighbors behind me honking and screaming at me because I wasn't turning fast enough for her liking. I screamed at her that I wasn't turning until it was safe, and she could eat my ass. Then I got off my bike in the middle of the road and proceeded to dance the running man for 30 seconds before getting back on to attempt my left hand turn again. Fuck cars and the people that drive them.
As if he'd ever see a kid walking in front of that thing.
Just a little higher and they'll be able to pass over the children unscathed. Problem solved
I love the sunglasses and hat on an overcast day look too. Such manly.

The truck says "War" on it. This is why voucher schools exists, so that I, as a parent, don't need to deal with this kind of parent and their kids.
