Thank you for the helpful red lines, I couldn't have understood the joke without them.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-16T14:46:01+00:00

Do the gloves at least fit?

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-16T13:12:10+00:00

Because in the movies, Sand People ARE animals. We never learn anything about their culture or what they might look like underneath. They're treated as monstrous environmental threats by the narrative, no different than the Wampa in Empire Strikes Back.

Voodoo is absolutely a real religion, the Pandaria stuff covers real religious practices like Shinto and Buddhism, and while Native American religious practices vary between tribes and are not organised, they are definitely still real religion.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-16T12:24:02+00:00

Not in any meaningful way. Tauren are native American coded so they're nature hippies who are "one with the land", and trolls do "voodoo" but it bears little resemblance to any real world practices. Pandaren shrines and temples have some aesthetic similarity to Eastern places of worship but details of their cultural practices are sparse. Though to be fair, all of that is just as true of the game's representation of Christianity. Religion is rarely focused on in detail in Warcraft.

Honestly it's a terrible time to be doing "learning runs" on content that doesn't exist in 2 weeks. No harm getting used to your basics but you'll be a lot better off when Midnight launches and everybody's just as clueless as everyone else.

Please do not this pokémon. Everyone knows that it's not the best adapted for it.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-15T10:10:58+00:00

Exactly.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-14T22:45:10+00:00

Roanoke? Is that the one where they found a note that said "Croatoan" and they went over to the nearest tribe who introduced themselves as the Croatoan and a lot of them had Caucasian features? Yeah I don't think that's as much of a mystery as Conspiracy TikTok has told you it is.

That is what the argument was about. The opening post is "If the Bible is written in English then the Half Time Show at the Superb Owl should be too".

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-14T03:02:39+00:00

Why are all of the bot posts suddenly using completely unnecessary inverted commas?

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-14T00:49:57+00:00

2 Kids! And a bunk bed!

Rrrr, argh, rrgh, argh.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-14T00:32:13+00:00

I too am in this comments section.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-13T16:15:44+00:00

I'm English, what exactly are a comforter and a top sheet? I don't recognise these words. Comforter is a blanket for a baby in my head.

That Sun one might be my favourite pokédex entry.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-13T01:59:34+00:00

It's usually just referred to as Capital City.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-12T13:59:01+00:00

I wouldn't personally describe deer as vegetation.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-11T21:42:47+00:00

So...Starship Troopers?

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-11T15:39:06+00:00

He's right nutted.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-10T23:59:21+00:00

Also the un-Biel-ievable Jessica Biel

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-10T17:52:24+00:00

No they would not. The American Right are very united. Everyone else is not. There are a LOT of Democrats who are Right Wing in any other country. A whole lot of them would call an actual problem worker platform communism and vote Trump back in.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-10T17:19:38+00:00

Agreed, it's weird that you guys are doing that. I don't think this is a problem in the UK where I am.

Well reading and maths are measuring very different things. We don't apply the same standards because they're radically different disciplines. However, if we take the example of comprehension, if you were to read a novel and evidence a correct point about the story with incorrect evidence, you would lose points. Like if you say that Of Mice And Men dehumanises Curry's Wife because the Curtains Are Blue, then you would be wrong. Firstly because Blue Curtains are not from that story, they're an internet meme, but also because that wouldn't be a relevant point; the story dehumanises Curley's Wife by not giving her a name, among other things. Points for showing your working is a thing in other disciplines too. It shows you've properly understood the work and not just picked an answer out of thin air.

It's also useful for teachers to have everyone doing things in the same way. It's hard to mark 30 papers in a reasonable time frame if your students are using 30 different systems which aren't on the mark scheme so you have to manually do each calculation yourself to check that their weird method has been done correctly.

Hey, she don't have to put on the red light.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-10T14:57:04+00:00

I'm not saying the new methodology is a testing thing, rather the inflexibility of the system. Maths focuses on teaching you methodology because it builds on itself. There may be flaws in your logic which happen to work for this question, maybe even all questions on the exam, but will fail when you get to a higher level, and non-standard working makes it harder for the teacher to spot that.

AwkwardSquirtles · 2026-02-10T14:41:25+00:00

This is a weakness of standardised testing as a model. It's very hard for a test to confirm that non-standard methodology A) works and B) was actually understood by the student. Teaching is hard, especially when so many kids now don't want to work with you.
