The only kind of excitement I see in their eyes when talking reading is when talking manga

I don't think you meant that manga is bad, but there is a huge variety of manga, and a lot of it is really good. But even if they just read shonen, is that a problem? They are reading for fun. It should be celebrated

i still don’t want to talk about your teacher @Vodulas@beehaw.org 😜

That's fair. I will say, it is also true in the US, and seems to be going down faster here. This is from 2021, but still

I think you are mistaking criticism for district mandated curricula for criticism of teachers. If anything, my comment was more critical of teachers, but also that was about teachers when I was in high school

So there can't be educational graphic novels, short stories, TV, movies? Hell there is even educational content to be found on social media if you look

Also having teachers that understand the value of literature besides traditional early American/European authors. Those authors are boring (for me) for the most part. If your school district forces that particular genre, let the kids read Frankenstein or other early sci-fi and horror. For the love of all that is enjoyable, don't force Hawthorne on anyone. Especially when they are, as a purely hypothetical, falling asleep while reading the book in class.

That might be part of it. The shooting doesn't do it for me, and the movement feels bad unless you nail it.

I'll for sure have to see how it plays out in match. Part of it is I also am not a fan of MOBAs, and Deadlock seems to pull a lot from them. We were also looking for a game that my partner could play kinda like Overwatch, bit I think she'll bounce pretty hard off Deadlock.

Finally got an invite to Deadlock. After watching a let's play and messing around with different heroes in the Hero Sandbox, I think there is just too much. I know it is a MOBA shooter combo, but between the movement mechanics, skills, and item shop, it just kinda seems they added stuff just because other titles in either genre have them. I might still give it a few matches, but it definitely dropped in priority.

Been playing through Raft again with my partner, and that's been a blast. I love a survival crafter, and realized she had not played since the full release. Kinda a cozy survival game if that is even a thing. The only downside isn't it has been moving our normal sleep schedule later, and we need to move it earlier bee laugh sweat emoji

Sadly, no ranked choice here, so Kamala Harris on my official ballot. If I had ranked choice it would be:

  1. Claudia de la Cruz

  2. Cornell West

  3. Kamala Harris

Except it doesn't work. Name once where someone was like "oh someone did the same shitty thing I did, better change my tune." All it does is reinforce their behavior as normal and acceptable

[-] Vodulas@beehaw.org 7 points 2 days ago

For real. It does not bother him because Trump will never see this. All it does is reinforce shitty toxic bullshit.

Can we stop with the small dick jokes? They are valueless and do nothing but uphold toxic masculinity.

It has been so great to see how horrible Vance is as a VP pick. I would hazard a guess that nobody else would say yes to Trump after he was willing to sacrifice Pence.

I am very excited for the 1.0 release! My friends and I are currently playing a multiplayer game in Update 8, and we are so close to finishing all the space elevator parts for the first time.

Ford and GM are probably regretting that switch to NACS...
