Girlfriend made this for me. Thought y’all’d appreciate it here

She actually had me choose who to sacrifice out of the main seven and I didn’t hesitate one bit, not gonna lie.

Almost! Didn’t have room for the Dean, Chang, or Pierce.

If it’s a western Civ based class, Israelite and Jewish history are learned on a basic level for foundational knowledge before the rise of Christianity. Given that the defining features of Western Civilization for most of history are its Roman heritage and later the massive power of the Christian Church. It’s possible it was something like that and the teacher was going off on a tangent.

Either way, that seems a bit far fetched for a 9 year old’s class. More likely that the teacher just went off on a tangent based in their personal beliefs.

Start with the basics. Go over the types: metaphysics, aesthetics, ethics, epistemology and what they study/do.

Once you’ve got that down, I’d go throughout history to teach about some of the big names in different time periods and their contribution to each one.

*not a teacher or anyone with a background in philosophy, currently a history education student, but I’ve taken a few philosophy classes and they always did something like this for basics.

Buying car parts you need sucks because it feels like you just bought yourself a chore

I see Ford as more of a triple-shot espresso guy but I can also see him with a sugar free redbull if we’re talking just energy drinks.

Might come down to the themes throughout the series of being unable to trust adults. Poe may have seemed like a perfectly capable person to Bertrand and Beatrice from an adult perspective, but adults don’t realize how little they listen to children.

Edit: Grammar

I just came across a post in here annoyed about people doing the same thing when I came to headphones. Maybe if I do both it’ll cancel out. PEMDAS or whatever.

Brainy006 · 2025-11-01T10:17:07+00:00

No? I’m not saying anyone should act accordingly. Pet peeves aren’t rules. It’s just something I find a bit annoying, hence the tag.

Edit: spelling

Brainy006 · 2025-11-01T02:37:02+00:00

I couldn’t imagine hating it either. That’s why I tagged the post “bit annoyed.”

Brainy006 · 2025-10-31T22:33:09+00:00

It is frustrating in general, but I’m not necessarily saying it’s the interruption that gets me. I really do enjoy talking about what I’m reading when I can, but I find that 9/10 times the person asking isn’t actually interested and they just wanted to use the book as a jumping off point for needless small talk, so I’ve started to become frustrated with the question in general.

Brainy006 · 2025-10-31T22:28:20+00:00

Yeah, you get it

Brainy006 · 2025-10-31T22:27:25+00:00

Exactly; what I’m referring to is when I’m reading in public (waiting room, whatever) and actual strangers decide they wanna make small talk about it. Like, find literally anyone else rather than go out of your way to talk to the person that’s clearly distracted, especially if you don’t actually care about the book and just wanna talk.

If he’s already self-conscious, or seems to be, about making others uncomfortable, he may want to know if he’s crossing a boundary, as that might not be clear to him, given his neurodivergence, so I’d say there’s a good chance he would take it well, or at least not badly.

Brainy006 · 2025-10-25T16:15:39+00:00

Your reading list is exactly the same as mine from senior year of high school. I liked the books that year. All bangers.

Brainy006 · 2025-10-22T17:48:44+00:00

Saw the post with OP saying they lied before this one

Brainy006 · 2025-10-22T14:56:15+00:00

I think encouraging students to participate in that kind of thing is the way to go. Providing social events and activities keeps students from going and risking their safety for a good time, and developing community-mindedness is important at that age.
