N.N. Marf:
I think it could be interesting to see S!#$$y Renee play out indirectly, to infer what happens from background details without actually seeing anything directly, and being revealed to other characters only when the relationship is stable. With Brun uncharacteristically better-understanding of the state of that relationship?
Thrudd:
I found the trophy
Sorry the first pic is kinda grainy.
Officially I would nominate the first but the bucket on a stick is kinda fun and would need explaining every time someone would see it.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 25 Sep 2020, 02:14 ---So, anyone want to predict how Renee and Dan's little catch-up coffee morning will go? I'm expecting chaotic shenanigans including Elliot being a well-meaning but ultimately unwelcome 'big brother', Clinton misunderstanding and getting jealous of an entirely-illusiory Elliot/Renee romantic relationship and Renee continually blundering with her tongue and ending up virtually in tears because she thinks she's ruined the whole thing. This will lead to either:
* Dan deciding he's best off not being involved in this slow-motion train wreck of a social circle OR
* "You know, Renee, I always liked your dry, sarcastic ways! I look forward to finding out a bit about the lady underneath the spikes!"What are your predictions and ideas?

I honestly don't think that it can go any way except well. That first text was pretty much rock bottom. If he's still down for coffee, he must be willing to take a lot of abuse.

--- Quote from: SeattleCrochetWoman on 24 Sep 2020, 22:42 ---I was bullied, teased and an outcast in Catholic school as much as in public school.
--- End quote ---
Catholic school in the '90s was pretty much my idea of purgatory at best. From what friends of mine who went to the local public high school (and either dropped-out or went on to some form of Independent Study) told me, that would have been hell.

I work in education and so I am always interested in discussing it, but I think we need to accept that there are countless different forms of education all of which come with their own drawbacks.
Boarding schools, or socially acceptable child neglect - ignoring how easy that system is to exploit for abusive purposes.
Religious schools, which can refuse to teach facts, choose to teach falsities and end up in the pocket of local officials.
Grammar schools, which claim meritocracy and instead help perpetuate already existing racist and patriarchal systems.
Single-sex scools, why the fuck do they still exist at all?
And that's just scratching the surface.
Anyway, if Shitty Dan was at all comfortable with the nickname of Shitty Dan, then he may take Renee's particular brand of flirty abrasiveness in good humour.
hedgie:
Thankfully, aside from the mandatory religion classes, actual instruction was focused in facts. The one I went to was also big in to community work, and surprisingly, there was a rainbow flag up in one Spanish teacher's classroom. It still sucked, though. Teens are monsters.
As far as single-sex schools go, I have seen some studies that show them as being beneficial for girls.
