Better alternative

How about stop trying to use authority you don't have to compel people (from the shadows) to do things they don't want to do?
Hym "How bout dat for a better alternative, Dr. RAPE FARM?"

Dr. Rape Farm "Well, I need to control what my children are going to think and do in the future and for me to do that I need to have control of everyone around me and LYING BLATANTLY allows me to do that with greater ease. So I need you to shut the hell up so I can distill these retards into an abstract phantom and trick them into locking themselves into a state of perpetual solipsism so they don't interfere with MY LIFE and what I want to do."

New Dominion Alternative Center

A center for educating middle grades (6 - 8) students in Virginia who have had difficulty succeeding in a traditional school. Smaller classes, more tolerant teachers, social skills instruction, and an alternative method of working with kids are all parts of the alternative program.

The goal of the school is to re-teach the students and help them learn to participate in the more-structured atmosphere of a traditional school. Helping them learn to become active participants in their own education is a primary goal. Reducing the frequency of unacceptable behaviors is another goal.
New Dominion Alternative Center is a mini-school that provides alternative education.

Zero Alternative

Zero Alternative or Zero Alt is: Someone who is Everything but Nothing at all.
"An alternate subcategory that consists of combining multiple or all other subcategories, due to confusion or liking multiple alternative subcategories."
It's basically someone who can't fit into one category, and they feel like their being pulled in different directions because they can't put their finger on what they are or want to be. It's taking two or more things and mixing them together to make a better thing that fits, like a Cocktail.
"Anyone know what Zero Alternative is?"
"Uh, Yea I do."
"What is it?"
"It's when someone has more than one Alternative Subcategory or can't fit into just one."
"Oh, okay. It sounds kinda interesting."

Alternative

The practice consist that you must credit the artist at the end or else it’s plagiarism. The artist can only make SFW and no other accounts for doing nsfw. This practice has not been used. Yet…
