Learning how to write efficiently and having gained a enough knowledge of the subject that you can slap together an essay in 30 minutes on the bus is putting the work in it.

You say they were “just good”. Sounds like they had to “git gud” in the first place.

I had the opposite teacher (also 7th grade), who lost my essay, claimed I didn’t do it, and gave me a zero. I still had the doc file, so printed it off again and re-handed it in. But by then it was “past the late turn in date so still worth zero.”

Oh, and it was past the late turn in date because she took a month to grade them, so I had no idea she had lost mine until past her arbitrary deadline.

From this experience I learned about covering your ass in communications with authorities, which I don’t think was what I was supposed to learn from the essay but it sure worked.

This is some real conspiracy theory thinking. This entire article boils down to “I have figured out this secret thing that nobody else, not even the former president or candidates of the Democratic party know about!” It’s all a wild supposition with zero backing evidence, just this one person’s shower thought being passed off as fact.

Please don’t buy into this level of lizard-people nonsense. It’s not helpful for anyone.

No, social media is not just for pictures.

But if someone is using it just for pictures and you try to sell them on a service that isn’t fitting to their use case, that’s on you if they’re not interested.

Know your audience. Offer them alternatives that actually fit their preferences, not yours.

I mean, by the original meaning of “first world country” we were by definition.

The first and second world countries were the US and USSR after WW II, and their immediate spheres of influence. The term “third world country” was, if I recall correctly, originally a self-assigned label to essentially say “we’re not part of this shit-flinging fight”. Which then people started viewing as “too poor to be worth dragging into either major power’s sphere of influence” and then just “poor”.

You’re a short motherfucker and nobody likes you!

flute noises BITCH!

Everybody says, “Look how fucking short that guys is.”

And that stops you from forming meaningful relationships.

When you were born everybody thought that you were just a head

But then the doctor said, "WAIT!

This stupid, motherfucking, tiny, short-ass baby Got a tiny, little, itty-bitty body

And I hate it!"

The first season of Andor is some of the best TV I have ever watched. Its incredibly well done.

The second season is still good, just not great. Apparently there were originally supposed to be 5 seasons, and it kind of shows that they compacted it all into two. The highs of season 2 are on par with season 1, but its just not as consistently excellent.

The ending isn’t a grand finale, but it can’t be. The grand finale is Rogue One. I didn’t have a problem with it because I always had RO in mind as the last, extra long episode.

1000% still worth a watch. Easily the best Star Wars content to have come out in the Disney era by a mile.

If all music streaming services were owned by HBO then yeah, I would argue that.

My partner and I stumbled across first edition Ticknor & Fields printings (1867) of Henry Longfellow’s translations of Inferno and Purgatorio at a used bookstore a couple years back. Got them for a song since they were missing the Paradiso to complete the set.

The owner said that they had been sitting in his storage for 15 years as part of an estate donation he got and he finally had the chance to go through it. When he found them he tore apart the rest of the boxes looking for the Paradiso but it just wasn’t there.

Now its our white whale. Every used bookstore we go in we scour the classics/oldest/rare book section looking to complete the set.

Cast Vicious Mockery.

In the book it is explained that since (in universe) her vision is based on movement, she roars to scare prey into fleeing so that she can see them.

You have clearly never driven a manual transmission, nor have the slightest idea how to. It is not possible to operate a manual transmission without using both feet on the pedals.

Please don’t comment authoritatively about things you know nothing about. It just makes us all a little bit worse off.
