It was hard, I can't imagine having no water at all.

Comment on Police are not primarily crime fighters in ~life
Vito Link ParentIn my country those who control traffic are not cops and don't carry guns. It's probably a dangerous job, but at the same time I never hear about people harming them in any way other than shouting.In my country those who control traffic are not cops and don't carry guns.

I hope you don't think I was exaggerating about my experience at my school as a teenager. Unless out of the 250 girls I knew I was the only one lying about not masturbating because I was the only one actually doing it, haha.
About the possibility of me getting fired in the hypothetical of this happening with a student, I can only speculate. I do think there is a possibility that my bosses would believe me that it's fake, being a woman would probably benefit me in this circumstance and I have earned their trust. But it's also possible that lawyers would advise them to fire me or that the public in general would demand it. I just really hope this remains a hypothetical. It probably won't for some of my colleagues. -

At least that was true while I was growing up as a millennial. A boy that hooked up a lot was a stud, a girl was a slut and everyone would bully them. I distinctively remember boys talking about masturbating and myself having to pretend that I had never done it along with all girls at my school. Admitting it would have meant being bullied forever.
On a different note, I'm a teacher and I teach teenagers. If one of them wants to think about me while masturbating, as long as they don't tell me, go nuts. But if fake porn with one of my students was leaked, I'd probably lose my job and become unhirable, just in case. -

If what the person from the documentary said is true and all they did was blur the background, I don't see an issue. If the whole thing is ai designed, it's a bit weird/unnecessary.

Vito Link ParentI have found that a great option for public bathrooms in cities are hotels. I always ask the receptionist if it's ok to use the bathroom in the lobby and nobody has said no yet.I have found that a great option for public bathrooms in cities are hotels.

I want to believe that the military cares about a poor mother about to lose her last son. They not only care, they are willing to spend resources and risk the lives of many other men for that mother. I struggle with the idea and even when the script gets really good later I can't forget that everything happening comes from that first concept. Maybe I'm wrong and stories like this have happened.
Not entirely, they told us to try not to drink it, mostly because of the sodium levels. They actually said it was fine unless you had blood pressure issues, but for everything that wasn't drinking at least you had water in the pipes.
What really bothered me about the situation was that they were late to notify the population. A few weeks before they acknowledged they were doing it, the water started tasting salty to me.
