It’s why society sucks. The people who could change things for the better don’t. They could make things better or just retire. Instead they make things awful.

Keeping up with the Wayneses

Leaking a same\specific lie over and over to keep tabs on the leak trails seems far more likely than Fermi winning the dice roll on this.

Definitely not the Picard Maneuver

Those who do or do not study history are dinked to repeat it. That’s the issue. We study history, then send the military to Afghanistan. We aren’t learning anything from history that is actually useful.

Kids crusaded against date memorization, and that worked. So now we know the minutemen at Lexington and Concord, the bill of rights, all these wars, we know they happened. Great Lincoln saved the union. But none of that matters. It has actually no effect on people meeting any kind of important decisions.

What we need to learn is the effects history has had on people. Like, clearly America went to war in WW1 to stop the war, and in WW2 to do something, and America’s actions in WW2 are justified and all, but every single person who got shot in WW2 had a really bad time. Wars are to often taught from the end, America beat the Sioux, or the Mexicans, to form states out of their land and the we are looking at those states and they’re nice places now. But every war has it’s losers, they’re the ones who get shot. They’re the perspective we never get taught. Even a short war like the Bismarck German unification gets the facts taught but skips on the pain. But people get shot and it really really sucks.

It should only be with a heavy heart that we go to war, because even a just war will be nothing but awful and everyone should know that.

Ahhhh the GOAT. Seriously, as a smart kid everything else about me was ignored. Something wrong at school? You CAN do it, so just do it. D&D breaks up mental stats, but there’s even more out there. Int, Wis, Cha to start. Then there’s motivation, happiness, and empathy, and more. The mind is super complex and an int score of 18 being all that matters is like the saying “this hammer solves my nail problem, it will surely solve my window problem.”

They are not responding

That’s the crazy madness of this. Some of these jobs out there require so little actual work that in office work is just to torment the workers. If love to have one of those jobs though

Code of honor is some of the worst tv in history, not just in Trek. Hats of to Michael Dorn for objecting to it, but as much as he’d like to claim he wasn’t in the episode he definitely played the transporter chief albeit just over the comms

Paramount Plus is the worst streaming service with the second best content

There it is

Big doubts she’s homeless. She’s probably living in an apartment leased by a friend with some of the laundered money. Texas isn’t going to have continual updates in Colorado.

Schools having no fucking clue what to do and suspending kids aside, that they made him sit on a stool for 8 hours is some barbaric shit. Like when teachers wake kids up if they’re taking a nap in study hall.

Education, knowledge, and learning are great. Fuck teachers, schools, and administrators. Also fuck these racist pieces of shit especially

This ain’t no funeral

Oh that’s what I call mine.

Honestly why the heck did movies in the '80s do nothing but make me absolutely slasher film level terrified of going to high school?

I’m not sure how the official rules would be judged for this, but back in 3.5 it turned out dual spell storing short swords with scorching rays were the most efficient way to play a rogue. Spell storing sounds like it continues to be problematic

You attacked someone, only the guards are allowed to do that.

20 years ago he was the only talking head that was atheist and given any mainstream time. I don’t know much about him other than that and I don’t think he does anything very interesting but I think a lot of people still have him sort of bookmarked for how he was in the early 2000s
