Expansion of the nanny state. No really

[~Rocktar~]

So apparently organizing a play date community is against the law. Like DC doesn't have many more pressing problems to deal with, seriously.


Conservatives often criticize the “nanny state,” but even we didn’t imagine it would get this bad. The District of Columbia is literally targeting preschool play dates, claiming that parents need city approval before they can baby-sit their friends’ toddlers.

Since the 1970s, parents have organized play dates at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation on East Capitol Street. They formed a nonprofit to pay for the rent, insurance, snacks and Play-Doh, and each family chips in about $200 a year to cover expenses. But like many similar co-ops in D.C., the Capitol Hill Cooperative Play School has no employees. Parent volunteers trade off child-care duties.

The fun and games ended Sept. 7 when gumshoes from the D.C. Office of the State Superintendent of Education showed up. They claimed the Capitol Hill Cooperative Play School counts as a day care center and is operating unlawfully. If the bureaucrats get their way, the co-op would have to hire a director with a background in childhood education or development, apply and pay for a license, obtain permits and abide by all other day-care regulations.

D.C.’s Child Development Facilities Regulation Act explicitly exempts “informal parent-supervised neighborhood play groups” from day-care rules. But the day-care police claim the Capitol Hill Cooperative Play School is “formal” because it has a website, draws participants from a hat to limit play-date sizes, and hosts scheduled get-togethers. In other words, the parents aren’t organized enough for the government’s satisfaction but are too organized to escape its harassment.

Yeah, they do have more pressing problems to deal with. Like the in-progress Russian coup through a puppeted retard of a president.

Jesus.. you are making time4fun ALMOST look less stupid.

That is a fucking feat.

Grats.

IT is funny. He says bad things about sellstuff1 and now he is a fascist. It is the only attempt at an insult he seems to know.

I'm just picturing some pissed off dude madly slamming his fingers into his keyboard as types on here. I'LL CALL THEM ALL FASCISTS! THAT'LL SHOW THEM!

Isn't that what 13 year olds call their parents when they won't let them stay out past 10?

I'm sure she called whoever banned her from discord a fascist too.

[Enuch]

So they are running a daycare without having to abide by any regulations that other daycares do and then are outraged that DC calls them a daycare and wants them to adhere to daycare laws?

I think what is screwing them is they have a central location. If they constantly moved their “play dates” it could be easier to fight but it just sounds like a daycare skirting all the rules and costs.

The funny thing, he kept whining about gambling statutes, which are enforced by the Government. Which a lot of people may consider "fascist" for not allowing them to gamble when or wherever they want.

Haven't we already filled that diversity slot with Ashliana?

How many mental disabled positions are we required to fill??

It's my fault for assuming a female character is played by a woman. I'm such a shitlord. :( :( :(

I don't know, their reasoning for why it's an actual daycare seem quite bogus.

Having a website is what separates a daycare from a non-daycare?

Because they limit the number of children? What is the solution? Allow thousands of kids to join this play date?

And finally because the play dates are scheduled? Well...yeah?

I could perfectly understand all of this if someone were making money off of this deal, but from what I understand it's all non-profit and they don't even have employees, it's all volunteers from the parents of the children.

Doesn't time4fun play a trans man in game? Or is it a trans woman? Or was someone just fucking with me when they said that? I know her character in game is a man but I heard she actually plays it as a trans character so I dunno. Someone help me out here.

She is a moron that brings RL politics into a text-based game. Her character cannot be trans, the game doesn’t allow for it.

So to make her point she got a shimmer alter that changes her gender as an illusion. And that’s all it is.

She then tops it off with poor stuttering RP and blunt fetish.

I thought she like roleplayed being trans, or dressed her male character in female clothes or something. My bad.

So her character is male but she has an illusion that changes her character to female?

Yep - even though the description says it’s an illusion when she rubs the item.

Kind of ironic really - it’s really just pretend and not real at all. Bruce Jenner has a shimmer trinket too.

You're retarded.

Sorry you are a little pussy baby. Cry cry cry. Trump is your President.

She follows Mularos. It's all a bit on the nose.

Ivas


Often times marked by rotting diseases that defy all cures, her adherents form cults which revel in perverted carnal pleasures. However, their primary goal is the seduction of unwary outsiders.

Jesus it's even worse.

How dare people roleplay using established Gemstone lore. Oh I'm so mad right now I might just kill a nigger.

I wonder when time4fun, Androidpk, and cwolff are going to disown sellstuff1 now? What's that? Never as long as he rages against Trump? Thought so.

Generally you'd want to avoid portraying an LGBT character as an 1980's Gay Plague caricature. Also, what the fuck is wrong with you?

I don't remember what the character is supposed to be, but I do believe that the player really is a middle-aged woman who writes fanfic for both her in-game and IRL personas.

I believe that was Lisu.

[Methais]

Oh look the facsists are trying to dox people again on this board.

1. time4fun is quite open on here as to who her character is in game. Stop being a mouth breather.

2. Even if she wasn't, outing someone's character name in a 30 year old text game isn't doxxing. Stop being a mouth breather.

3. Stop being a mouth breather.

In Ashliana's defense, at least he mostly tries to sound like he isn't retarded, even if he usually fails at it.

shartstuff1 is fully embracing his retardedness and kicking it into soyverdrive.

Hahahahaha fucking Lisu. She'd post cyber logs of people who didn't pay her or some shit.

From what I remember, the typical response from the people she cybered with that didn't pay was basically...

I don't know why she just didn't take the money first.

Probably for the attention she assumed she'd get from posting logs and saw it as win/win.

Bitches love attention.
