Read a random definition: in terrorem populi

A quick definition of water:

Water is a clear liquid made of hydrogen and oxygen. It can be found in streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. Sometimes, water can't flow forward because of a dam or obstruction, and it flows back, which is called backwater. Water that is brought to the surface and made available for use is called developed water. Rainfall runoff that collects and flows on the ground but does not form a watercourse is called diffused surface water. Water that is flowing in a stream in addition to what may be termed adjudicated waters is called excess water. Water that escapes from a watercourse in large volumes and flows over adjoining property in no regular channel is called floodwater. Water found in layers of permeable rock or soil is called groundwater. Water lying on the surface of the earth but not forming part of a watercourse or lake is called surface water.

A more thorough explanation:

Water is a transparent liquid made up of hydrogen and oxygen (H2O). It can be found in bodies such as streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. There are different types of water, including:

  • Backwater: Water in a stream that cannot flow forward due to a dam or obstruction and sometimes flows back.
  • Groundwater: Water found in layers of permeable rock or soil.
  • Surface water: Water lying on the surface of the earth but not forming part of a watercourse or lake. It most commonly derives from rain, springs, or melting snow.
  • Territorial waters: The waters under a state's or nation's jurisdiction, including both inland waters and surrounding sea (traditionally within three miles of the coastline).
  • Wastewater: Water that is left over, especially after a chemical or manufacturing process.

For example, groundwater can be found in layers of soil and rock beneath the earth's surface. Surface water can come from rain, springs, or melting snow and can collect on the ground. Territorial waters are the waters under a state's or nation's jurisdiction, including both inland waters and surrounding sea. Wastewater is water that is left over after a chemical or manufacturing process.

It is shitty that was a pattern of behavior but I am glad someone is finally standing up for themselves. Like I can be a pretty rigid butthole guy when it comes to getting stuff but a complete lack of empathy or situational awareness shown by the school and their staff is mind blowing. When I was talking about it in the office they all thought I was lying cause it sounds so crazy.

Idk if any of you watch UFC but one time interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall won a fight and said on the mic afterwards “if you feel scared to do something, that’s a pretty good sign you should just go fucking do it” and I believe that applies very much to people wondering if they should R&R. Sure you can but why not just see what happens now?
