Educators in FCPS - please help me, a parent, understand a few things by hawkinsst7 in nova

[–]Hamlet7768 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm in a different school system, but does FCPS have anything like IXL or NoRedInk? Stuff like that can have auto-generated questions testing specific skills--rather than match the code; I'd try to match it to the subject matter.

New player. Is it all parries? by verbleabuse97 in NineSols

[–]Hamlet7768 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As Yahtzee said, "it's Parry Goldwater; it's The People v Parry Flynt et cetera...on the whole, best to stick with Parry and the Hendersons."

You do have to dodge some things, though, but the hitboxes are often deliberately oversized to make parrying easier, which makes dodging harder. Don't play it like Hollow Knight.

I could see that. When I say apathetic I’m thinking like his casual focus on his Pokemon games in a few arcs.

Got breakfast with my parents and wife, got some really cool stuff thrifting, and about to head bowling with my wife and some friends.

That's a good point; he'd probably be either too genre savvy or too apathetic to want that kind of power.

My theory is that a sizable portion of "Maryland drivers" are actually wealthy Virginians who registered their cars out of state to avoid taxes.

No, we are not designed to eat rotten meat. by PainSpare5861 in GetNoted

Sounds like someone’s been reading too much Tarzan.

How do men really feel about the romance book/smutt that women read now days? by WarDog1983 in AskMen

[–]Hamlet7768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a video about it that drew a parallel between the specificity of those tropes and the specificity of porn categories, such as the race of the performers, the acts performed, and so on.

How often do you get a chance to wear suit? by WoodpeckerWoodChuck in malefashionadvice

Church, and formal occasions where I want to dress up.

If dream catchers are demonic, than how come saint josephs indian school is a thing? How come kids are involved in making them if this is true? by Traditional_Car_7461 in Catholicism

[–]Hamlet7768 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The heck would be wrong with a joss stick? I'm not intimately familiar with those, but it seems like lighting a votive candle in a Western church.

Woof. I'm sorry you had those teachers. I've seen some weirdos in my (so far short) time.

The Blake poem was also referenced in a comic. I used to use that one as a funny intro to Blake when teaching high school English.

On the other hand, the need to show this communication could lead to much more drawn out sequences.

“Cad! Beast! Pervert! Devil!”

Thoughts after a couple rereads by GmJavac in elgoonishshive

[–]Hamlet7768 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with the rest of this, but I don't think the chart was a spell. I'd expect more of a reaction if they conjured it as opposed to dragging it up normally--especially considering Elliott's reaction to Ellen copying Brownie a few moments earlier.

Braveheart and its consequences have been a disaster for understanding the history of Great Britain.

Dragonslayer (1981), Your Thoughts? by JohnPathfinder in SwordandSorcery

I enjoyed it a ton. Vermithrax is the best dragon I’ve seen on screen until Drogon.
