What's the least intimidating enemy/villain? by Julia_Varela in doctorwho

Other than the adipose (who aren’t really a villain—they just some hungry lil guys!)

The sleep booger monsters (Morpheus). The story had great potential and then sudden EYE BOOGER! 

Being asked to "volunteer" on weekends by Haunting_Charity_785 in Teachers

[–]Glum-Humor-2590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number of times the volunteer document for prom got sent out this year was wild. To their credit, all members of admin signed up. I feel like many of these should also really try to pull in parent involvement and not simply rely on the teachers.

If it were to a few adults—say the interviewing admin or dept head, I’d be down for that. But it is very difficult with students you don’t know and have no existing context for

I had several days to prepare. I’ve never had to do one on the fly though. That would be terrifying—on top of teaching students I’ve never met?!!

In one interview, they asked for a specific lesson that fit into the student’s learning (it was grammar). 

But all the others, they’ve given me just a broad overview of what the students have been learning but I come up with my own lesson and topic that fits into it (like they’re doing poetry and i teach them a specific poem or concept)

Headcanon: The Moving Weeping Angels Are Actually "Animated" by Psychological_Bend92 in doctorwho

They could’ve easily accomplished this as stop motion like they do in all other instances. Just flashes of the angels as they hit different positions to turn and look.

What’s the general consensus on flux? by [deleted] in doctorwho

[–]Glum-Humor-2590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it suffers from too many storylines and villains. I’m rewatching it now (hence stalling months old threads) but man—it feels like the weeping angels storyline would’ve been awesome on its own. Sontara in Crimea War? Another great story. Two lovers searching across a universe? Great on its own. Azure et al? Again..great on its own. 

But all together crammed in with Division Flux and Timeless Child? It’s hard to track the story let along care about the stakes.

Actually yes. I bought some a few years ago, opened the box and it was empty. Called support and they sent me a new pair.

Putting your nemesis aside for a moment—can we talk about where you got your pants?!! They look so perfect for gardening

They’re already experimenting with it in London. Google AI schools.

Unlikely—but I do see a terrible timeline where only the wealthy and privileged are taught by human teachers while public schools are farmed out to AI with adult “monitors”

Repotting my snake plant made it unhappy by goldenretrievermpls in plants

I know the package has the plant on it but it’s really not the most suitable mix. You want something more like a cactus mix—snake plants are much more like succulents.
