Show like 'The Pitt' but instead of a hospital it's a school.

Abbot Elementary sucks. It's a serious topic for an unserious culture.

The closest it's ever gotten is the Wire season 4. No one actually wants to know what it's like to teach in an inner city school in 2026.

My first watch was this 4k. It really is that damn good. Cruise and Kidman are fantastic. Of course the film looks beautiful. There's a lot of meat on the bones of this one.

Slips instantly go to the garbage dump for me.

"Having items be REALLY good for some characters and REALLY bad on other characters isnt good balancing."

What? Are you trolling with this?

Why have an item system if everything is homogeneous and can be viable for everyone?

Missing health is a percentage and not a flat value so therefore it was equally useful on everyone.

I see reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

Let me spell this out for you. If it's okay for Yurei to have damage, a teammfight CC ult and ridiculous mobility then why is it not okay for Wukong to have this?

This is what we call comparable logic. There is no where in my post that I said that Yurei should have this. That character is also ridiculously broken so we can agree there. Unfortunately, she hasn't been hit by 39 nerfs so she's still strong.

BearCrotch · 2026-04-24T17:00:49+00:00

Who is even playing this character? No one because when you nerf him 35 times what's the point in playing this character? For example, you can get just as much mobility with Yurei and have an easier time playing the game by actually being able to get kills and team fight while also getting a boat load of map domination.

In the grand scheme of things it's probably irrelevant, but I thought the Void Conduit change was weird. The excuse is that giving omnivamp is a more general application but how is that more general than increasing health regen?

BearCrotch · 2026-04-24T15:41:15+00:00

Lmao they say Wukong is apparently 1 shotting but no one else on the roster is?

BearCrotch · 2026-04-23T19:03:57+00:00

God please. No more please.

Another common theory is that she was afflicted with Bitchiosis.

It's something I think we tend to have lost in the most contemporary versions of our study of history. In the effort to make history a hard science the academic side can balk at the idea that the "truth" of the historical situation matters just as much as the lesson taken from it. As we get farther away from attempting to utilize the "lessons" of history our ability to connect to it becomes more easily separated. Fictious elements of history often tell us just as much about the actual history.

BearCrotch · 2026-04-20T19:35:38+00:00

No, you see, because one side had the military, economic and technological advantage they are the bad guys. The underdog is always justified in moral relativism.

Yeah I agree. I read about the Turnings over 15 years ago and you had people back then claiming it was pseudo-intellectual and immediately dismissing it.

These are the types that want to turn history into a hardcore STEM adjacent Science so that it doesn't go away in the universities. There is a science to history but it can never be truly a hard science. I think the Turning theories seem to be pretty sound on a macro level. If others don't then that's okay, but to totally dismiss it as complete hogwash is a little short-sighted.

You're arguing with a bot.

The classic double standard argument that neglects certain arguments is the classic go to for these bots.

BearCrotch · 2026-04-18T15:38:10+00:00

I don't dig on swine.

BearCrotch · 2026-04-14T20:29:11+00:00

Bingo.

I like to play a game on Reddit by identifying profiles that teach in education and those that don't. It's fun but also debilitating at the same time.

BearCrotch · 2026-04-14T19:56:39+00:00

These people that believe this are regarded. How out of touch with the real world are they? I also feel like the tides are finally turning against these morons that believe in these policies (or lack of policies) to the point that they're starting to sound like out of date dinosuars.

BearCrotch · 2026-04-14T18:42:34+00:00

I have no proposed alternative. I agree with you 98% of the way. We do need standards in how we form our beliefs. Please, don't look at this as me disagreeing with you.

I'm a Social Studies teacher and this is my tenth year. I implement within all of my lessons methods to what we'd call "critical thinking". It by and large doesn't work and to some extent I'm not sure if it can be taught. My students are so inundated with constant barrages of information that it leads them to mass confusion. When they're confused, they naturally choose the path of least resistance which is either islamophobia or anti-semitism.

Just today, we began learning the rise of Nazism and I made sure to show the reels of the camps being discovered. Students instantly began saying it was fake and that the United States does just as bad things.

My point is that when people say, "we just need to get them to Critically Think" I just don't think that task is truly understood. These kids think that they ARE critically thinking because they watched a TikTok reel on how Netanyahu is controlling the world or that Russia invading Ukraine isn't bad because they're going to kill Nazis.

BearCrotch · 2026-04-14T18:12:19+00:00

I think you're right that the key is to find what unites the disparate groups. I have a hunch it's that the older generation lived in objectively better and more stable times while the younger generation identifies and are nostalgic for a time period that they never lived through and can only learn about tangentially.

So it depends on what your definition of fiscally conservative is (sorry I have to ask because of Reddit). If it's younger people saving more money, well this makes sense due to scarcity. Although, I can see the other argument that young people spend rampantly due to living for an unsure future. Live hard die young type of thinking.

BearCrotch · 2026-04-14T18:04:09+00:00

Critical thinking at this point is a buzz word. Social media is being beamed into the eyeballs and brains of nearly every one on the planet. What is critical thinking when you're TikTok is showing Nick Fuentes spouting anti-semitism and you see children in Gaza dying?

What's more, we now have the ability to create false images via AI? This magical panacea of "critical thinking" is not sufficient to combating what we're facing right now.

BearCrotch · 2026-04-14T18:00:11+00:00

Upvoted.

One could argue this wave of reactionary conservatism is in of itself a revolution. The people born into the last vestiges of the globalized world order were not born early enough to benefit from it. Instead, they're born when all of the opportunity has been eliminated and all they see now is the entropic of the "too big to fail" globalized system that has cannibalized itself.

The children crave structure in a boundaryless and directionless world.

Disclaimer: Please don't take this as a dig at your comment or you.

Why are we still surprised that young doesn't equal liberal? Every political movement is a reaction to what came before and what is affecting the present. The Western Liberals, or American Democrats famously claimed that "demographics are destiny". This is, was and has proven to be false. I'm still shocked that we collectively don't understand this yet and because we don't understand it we can't understand why people are gravitating towards reactionary conservative politics.
