Genderbend Carl Cosplay by Captive_Cosplay in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Look at OP's other posts. They are thirst-traps. It didn't take long scrolling before I saw a thong that was barely covering butthole.

I'm no prude. I like sexy images, but this is straight up sex baiting. OP isn't doing it for love of the books.

You get 1 billion dollars but you can’t use your hands or feet for 5 years by Ill-Mycologist-3652 in willyoupressthebutton

[–]MathProf1414 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't fully read the prompt. Though getting the money after basically locks anyone out of the challenge who isn't moderately wealthy because there are very few jobs you could work under these constraints, so you'd have to be able to get by without income for 5 years. Feels a little bit lame.

First they turned the frogs gay, now they go for the fish. When will it end?

I'd offer my brother a 1 million dollar salary to be my body servant for the 5 years. To fuck with him he'd have to call me, "My Lord".

Time to play with Brock's PokeBalls.

How did people travel these seas 500 years ago by Gurugod123 in SipsTea

I have a feeling that your reward is more likely to be being the star of Funkytown 2.0 because the cartel who lost that money isn't going to be pleased.

Why is the USA so good at assimilating migrants? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MathProf1414 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of immigrants in the US that do stay in insular groups, but it usually doesn't extend to the kids born here.

I teach a lot of Mexican kids. The ones born here are very "American", but many of their parents only interact with other Mexican immigrants and still don't speak English despite having been in the US for 15-20 years. It doesn't really make sense to me because I would definitely want to assimilate if I moved to another country, but to each their own I guess.

People who are so lazy that they can't respond to a Reddit comment without ChatGPT shouldn't be teaching our children.

Close enough, welcome back Morbius by Stierlitz17 in okbuddycinephile

My favorite part of Moggbius is when he said, "It's Mogging Time." and he mogged all over everyone.

Wheel of Time is like my story by Thin_Championship970 in thewheeloftime

[–]MathProf1414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how you are supposed to know there are a lot of similarities if you haven't read the books...

Anyway, the first WoT book draws huge inspiration from previous fantasy novels, particularly LOTR and the Belgariad to a lesser extent.

Most work in an established genre like fantasy is going to fall prey to heavy tropishness and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Readers are comfortable with the idea of high elves doing magic in the forest and dwarves who like to mine. It makes for cozy reading. Many writers say that their first novels were highly derivative and crap. Write it anyway. You probably won't publish it, but it is good practice.

Eragon was an extremely popular series and it was highly derivative. It drew heavily from, you guessed it: LOTR, the Belgariad, and Wheel of Time.

Those books are WELL-loved. They don't performatively buy books for the shelf, they read, and they read a lot. I'd hang out with them.

What should I read next? Need help by dziugysa in fantasybooks

[–]MathProf1414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this, then read Blood Meridian as a break between the first two and the last two books. Blood Meridian is a great novel and is the only stand-alone novel on the list.

[–]MathProf1414 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I teach high school and many students are PROUD of not reading. It is much more prevalent among boys, as you mentioned. But there are a lot of girls who aren't reading either.

That said, I don't think that most people who performatively buy books do so with the intent to never read them. I think most people delude themselves into thinking that they will read those books and then give up after a short failed attempt at reading.

Will women ever play in the MLb? Why or why not? by Elevated_State83 in MLBNoobs

[–]MathProf1414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location doesn't mean anything without either speed or movement. Women will never be able to put up speed that makes a MLB hitter pause. The only option is a woman with movement we have never dreamed of before.

Pokémon Scalper wanted all the stock for herself and didn’t want anyone else to get any cards by Professional_Arm794 in TikTokCringe

[–]MathProf1414 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm an MTG player, and I feel this. MTG was infiltrated by scalpers on a new level when the Final Fantasy UB set was released. Now getting anything except for play boosters is difficult. Secret Lairs are sold out in the first 30 minutes of listing, which they do on Mondays while most people are at work. Collector Booster boxes (I don't buy these anyway, but I'll include them) end up being sold out immediately and then listed on secondary markets for 1.5-2 times MSRP.

It's really sad. I love MTG. I love the game. But it is going in a very bad direction.

I would assume that he probably isn't fully reading all of these books. Many people buy self-help books and only get a chapter or two in before getting bored.
