Edited March 23, 20232 yr by Bartimaeus Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

Like real piece sliced by hands in triangle-ish shapes? Ours were always preformed squares of pizza - roughly the size of the entree portion of the plastic tray they were plopping it on... I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
March 24, 20232 yr We had huge rectangular pizza slices. Or at least they seemed huge in elementary. Good times Free games updated 3/4/21
March 24, 20232 yr @Amentep Same, square / rectangular sheet pans. But it sure seemed like a crapshoot on the portion size. Im sure if I tried it today it would shatter my rose colored glasses, but pizza day was a big deal back then.

I still hold a bit of a grudge because grade school wouldn't let me take the orange juice, the only thing I actually wanted, instead of the garbage 2% milk. Who in their right mind drinks 2% milk, and out of a cardboard carton no less? That cow-flavored paper-infused swill water is downright inhumane. No, they said if I wasn't actually lactose intolerant, I have to drink the milk. What, did you guys have a terribly limited supply of orange juice? Fine, I'll go back to eating nothing at lunch - we were too poor for me to be wastin' money on lunches I wasn't going to eat anyways. Of course, looking back now, the easy solution would've been just to lie. Damn, why didn't I think of that back in second grade? What a maroon I was. Edited March 24, 20232 yr by Bartimaeus ...Was it 2% milk, or did you have the option of 1% vs. skim? I don't remember, all I know was that stuff was nasty.

March 24, 20232 yr I think we had 2% as well. I'm a whole milk or no milk kind of person so I didn't drink it. I think I usually traded it or gave it away. Free games updated 3/4/21

The issue for me is I didn't like school cafeteria food period, so I skipped it unless it was one of the very few things I actually liked...which, I think only came down to when they served breaded chicken of some kind. Though I moved around during my childhood a lot, I was at that school for grades 2-4, so that was three years of my childhood I didn't hardly ever eat a thing for lunch on school days. And to not even let me have orange juice when you actually have it available so that I can at least have something...cruel and unusual, I says! Though they probably thought it was cruel and unusual having to deal with me, so maybe it all balances out. Don't know what kind of effect not eating lunch most days out of a year has on a kid during that age range, though. Edited March 24, 20232 yr by Bartimaeus Quote Against stupidity we have no defense.

March 24, 20232 yr Eh, I don't remember orange juice being an option. Whole Milk and chocolate milk are the only options I remember.

Then again in elementary school I mostly brought a lunch my mom made, it wasn't until I started hs that it was mostly school lunch. Whole milk? Man, I got scammed hard. I never asked my mom to do that. I don't know why, maybe because I knew she would yell at me if she learned that I was skipping lunch and she probably wouldn't have the time or energy to do it anyways. Actually, I absolutely hated asking my mom for money because we were really poor and it was just...difficult, so skipping lunch was kind of killing two birds with one stone. Don't have to ask for money, don't have to eat bad food. Edited March 24, 20232 yr by Bartimaeus Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it.

March 24, 20232 yr The only options we had were milk and chocolate milk, until the vending machines in high school which may have had sodas but I honestly can't remember. Again bad memory, but I think it was 2% or skim. Not as good as juice or tea by a big margin but it's what was there and the water fountains tasted funny. I would usually get a cold sandwich because it came with a cookie. One thing I remember clearly was these rolls I assume were mass produced because they were the same in the 10 years I spent in the district. In high school in the a la carte section there was this thing we would call ****ty t******s, where you would get two rolls with chilli and cheese dumped on. Texas public school food was not very good in the aughts. Oh yeah good news........I ate crawfish today. Crawfish is damn good, I highly recommend everyone eat a crawfish boil at least once.

March 25, 20232 yr My mom made lunch until she went back to work. After that I was given $7 for the week. What I didn't spend on lunch was my allowance.
