I remember a kid in my school tried to get out of playing dodgeball by equating it to gladiatorial combat. Dude just didn't know how to dodge the lions. 🤦♂️

I had two strategies in dodgeball.
Primary was to stand perfectly still, arms out, get tagged immediately, go sit down.
On the days that I felt like being a little fuck, I played full "dodge" at the far back of the court, and never threw anything back. Just waited until all of the balls were on my side of the court. Game over.
Fuck em. I was a conscientious objector in dodgeball.
So Riverdale was right??
May they find themselves alone, unemployable, destitute, and hungry. When they finally scrape together enough to make a halfway decent bowl of soup, may their dicks or buttholes fall off into it.
The prisons in the US are so cruel, that forced-labor isn't a punishment, it's something that's taken away as punishment.
All prisoners have the right to humane treatment, access to healthcare, and personal safety. That's not my opinion, it's (de jure) the law.
