when i worked in a pub they often had the optic bottles with the main label 'upside down' and the neck label the 'right way' - this was meant to make it easier to restock/find the right bottles quickly. Probably isn't the case here since every other bottle is the right way round, but you never know.

This Online Community Is Uncovering Fascinating Movie Details, And Here Are 30 Of The Best Ones (New Pics)

For those doubting it due to Wikipedia:Bm British Officer Lieutenant-Colonel Charles à Court Repington recorded in his diary for 10 Sep 1918 that he met with a Major Johnstone of Harvard University to discuss what historians should call the war. Repington said it was then referred to as The War, 'but that this could not last'. They agreed that 'To call it The German War was too much flattery for the Boche.' Repington concludes: 'I suggested The World War as a shade better title, and finally we mutually agreed to call it The First World War in order to prevent the millennium folk from forgetting that the history of the world was the history of war.' Between the wars most people did refer to the war as the Great War, even though that had originally referred to the Napoleonic War. In the US, it was ‘The World War’. http://qi.com/infocloud/the-first-world-war

Interesting fact, some people at the time referred to it as the First World War on the assumption many more would follow...guess they were more pessimistic than the War to End All Wars crowd...

Twitter Thread With 38 Reasons Why The School System Is Ableist Goes Viral

I don't think any one in these comments is saying that we shouldn't do more to level the playing field. I think the issue was with the way the message was communicated, some of the bizarre examples, failure to understand or even explore the rationale behind some of the rules and process and the lack of solutions. As the OP is 15 years old it makes much more sense the way it has been framed and makes BP highlighting the comments with a link to the profile all the more questionable.

Twitter Thread With 38 Reasons Why The School System Is Ableist Goes Viral

The tweeter is most likely writing these as bad faith arguments for attention. The majority of these are obviously rules designed to enable large groups of children to....learn. I'm guessing they put it under the cloak of an 'ism' to stir the pot as much as possible...shame on the twitter user, shame on BP for posting it and shame on me for reading and commenting.

I'd like to think they called it the first world war then because it was the first war that involved the world

Twitter Thread With 38 Reasons Why The School System Is Ableist Goes Viral

I get a few of these, but some are just "teaching the class" as an example for bad and ableist behaviour. I'm in no way a fan of the current school system (in Germany - the one in the US I only know from an outsider's viewpoint of course), but a few of the things called out here are just ... complaining about a scholl actually doing what it is meant for. Also - it not only is ableist (I'll just take this assumption, regardless of some of the examples here), it also is dis-ableist in the way that you are not only punished if you are too slow, but also if you are too fast and then engage in antisocial behaviour, like looking out of the window. Seriously, that got me in trouble. Also, the stupid "you had a break, why didn't you go then?" - this caused exactly every single time I wet my pants in school, and when I decided not to take it anymore and to physically free myself when I am physically prevented from leaving the classroom ... got me in trouble for kicking my teacher's leg.

Here are a few more exam0les of ableism: - forcing students to read books - telling students they need to learn to count - not allowing pets in school - preventing students from playing video games during lessons - forcing students to wear clothes - not allowing students to arrive and leave whenever they feel like it - expecting students to learn when they can't be arsed - speaking to students Teachers are evil dictators, the way they try to help kids learn!

Twitter Thread With 38 Reasons Why The School System Is Ableist Goes Viral

Criticizes the educational system, but misspells 'losing' and and peppers tweets with grammatical errors and other typos. Fail...

Twitter Thread With 38 Reasons Why The School System Is Ableist Goes Viral

While i agree with some of these, I also wonder if the teacher's needs were taken into account as well. Teachers have a pretty tough time already and are held to a standard that they have to cover each semester. I completely understand the need to accommodate differences. I have a medical condition myself. Understanding and making sure people get what they need goes both ways.

Twitter Thread With 38 Reasons Why The School System Is Ableist Goes Viral

i think those are just called... rules. Able bodied or otherwise, the point is that there is uniformity so the underpaid, overworked teacher can corral the 30+ students they have to their charge and teach them. So ableism, at this point, is whining because someone else has a job to do, and you don't like how they go about it?

Local People Share 30 Things Tourists Do That Make Them Stand Out As A Non-Local

A lot of these are clearly nonsense e.g. Irish pubs and 'craic' or spilling your pint - cliched rubbish. English people never ordering a full breakfast? In all these major international cities that tourists visit there is little generalised 'local' behaviour - the whole point is that they are melting pots with a huge range of customs all existing side-by-side. Trying to say an entire city doesn't do X or behave like Y is pointless.

Local People Share 30 Things Tourists Do That Make Them Stand Out As A Non-Local

This is a massive generalisation - outside of tech most industries still expert business attire and within tech certain subsectors and job functions e.g. lower levels of venture capital and business development still expect people to be suited and booted. For an interview, unless explicitly stated otherwise, the expectation is that you come formally dressed. I think the author is looking at this from a developer's perspective where you can wear whatever you want as long as you hit your deadlines.
