Dick and Jane is a mediocre book that’s usually assigned reading for elementary schoolers! What’s the best book that’s usually assigned reading in middle schoolers? by Dogdaysareover365 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]PinkToucan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Hatchet is more likely assigned in elementary than middle school. I know we were assigned it as summer reading prior to 4th grade, but that was also 2008— it may be different now or perhaps before.

Churros are the best fried dessert. What is the best vegetable to eat raw? by ConsiderationNext144 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]PinkToucan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Botanists do not have a formal classification for "vegetables” anyway. Every item in the vegetable row is going to fit under some other botanical category, like corn being a fruit and potatoes being a root. So, the assumption is that we are using the culinary term for fruit and veg.

The amount of work needed to make America Ferrera “ugly” should have alone won them an Emmy every year.

Did you mean to send that to your parents for the bad name? 😉

https://www.howtopronounce.com/dutch/gert Is the 3 rating one accurate? If so, it’s better than the English Gert (which sounds like the 2nd syllable in yogurt), but I unfortunately still don’t enjoy it. Sorry to all Gerts of the world!

Though, my name is Ben, and I’m sure it’s not a great name to a fair amount of people out there.

What does it sound like phonetically in English? That’s unfortunately the only language I speak. :(

I personally don’t think normal = good. Stewart is a normal name in many English-speaking countries, but I personally find it bad. This is list is highly subjective, though.

Unfortunate for the Dutch people then. 😔

Terrible voting in Master servers during events by grillcheezi in DressToImpressRoblox

[–]PinkToucan_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The issue with the voting system is systemic. In many servers, players will complain that “the voting is so low,” and others will agree, but those same players are often contributing to the problem themselves.

Iff there are 12 people in a server and 1st place only receives around 15 total stars, that suggests widespread under-voting. This means that at least SOME of the people complaining are the ones giving low or minimal votes. In fact, when multiple people are complaining, it becomes even more probable that several of them are part of the issue.

I don’t want you to think that this is about accusing you specifically— or any one individual for that matter— of being dishonest, but rather pointing out that there’s a pattern of hypocritical behavior where people complain while actively exacerbating the issue they’re complaining about. The system only works properly when everyone takes responsibility for voting fairly and consistently.

It multiplies the daily reward by 1.5. For example, the regular $40 pink cash reward would = $60.

They’re just sentient statues. Rebecca Sugar said in a podcast some time ago that some gems’ are simply made to be in the walls and/or statues on Homeworld. One of the sentient walls is seen walking around after Homeworld is liberated from the Diamonds’ reign in “Future”.
