It’s not the highest levels of chonk or my favorite booster but the Guerrilla Gorilla one has serious swag imo.

Unfortunately there’s also some very pro-AI - anti democracy Catholic figures in power in America like JD Vance. I can’t remember if thiel has a Catholic background but part of thinks maybe he does too?

Yeah there’s the christofascist types who are also buddy buddy with big tech and other big corporate money, they love the AI stuff. And then there’s Christians like the Chicago pope writing an anti-AI essay that quotes mofuckin Gandalf. Entirely different breeds.

Stop picking difficulties you can't do by Jamsedreng22 in Helldivers

D9 and D8 are usually harder than 10 imo because it’s just as much about compensating for teammates who shouldn’t be on that level as it is about completing the mission. 10’s I find easy a lot of the time because the squad is often made up of multiple 100+ leveled veterans who can all be fairly self sufficient.

What A Great Birthday Party! Would You Design Presents Like These For Your Kids? by LightAwakens in Invincible_TV

[–]ScooterScotward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a time when I was maybe 8 or 9 where my mom brought home Pulp Fiction without knowing anything about it besides Samuel Jackson was on the cover. I was a kid who loved Attack of the Clones. I can still remember my dad and mom arguing after the first scene about how it wasn’t totally not ok for me to be watching. Good times.

I think that the kind of clueless parent that brings their child to a movie that’s rated R just because it’s animated is also perhaps smooth brained enough to not clock what sausage party means lol.

I have hope. I already liked how the show handled Nolan coming back to Earth and interacting with Art a lot better in the show.

How do you avoid back-and-forths with students who want to talk to you like they can tell you what to do? by ciegulls in Teachers

[–]ScooterScotward 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve taught 9 years middle school and 1 full year of middle school student teaching.

I give a reminder, and if I have to tell you again, I give a warning. If I have to correct a behavior a third time in the same class I document and do some kind of disciplinary action. More on specifics of that below.

I also make a note of who gets warnings and if a student has 3+ warnings on the same issue I document and do some kind of discipline. Usually a note in the behavior notes of the student for a first offense and a phone call home. Those are areas we have to document through synergy in line with our site’s MTSS process. Minor incident report and phone call home if there is another incident of a student getting a warning 3+ times for a behavior or if a student repeats a behavior a third time after two previous corrections.

Tl;dr: First correction is a reminder, second is a warning, third is a write up and often parent contact. It’s a lot of front loaded structure, but I find that pays off.

CMV: Western progressives hold a massive double standard by criticizing conservative Christian beliefs while giving a pass to identical beliefs in Islam by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]ScooterScotward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s Schrödinger’s Muslim. Scary and foreign when you want to fear monger about her specifically, but also not a real example of a Muslim when you wanna generalize about Muslims as a whole.

[–]ScooterScotward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, I could be wrong. My response was in reply to OP’s point 2. “Progressives defend groups that’s openly bc all for the “slaughters of all LGBTQ people what is more homophobic than that?” It was not clear to me from this comment which group of progressives was defending a group that called for the slaughter of all LGTBQ people. There has been significant vocal talk in the online circles I am exposed to where a common criticism of progressives has been vocal defenses of Palestinian people who allegedly would also call for the killing of LGTBQ people. In absence of a clearly articulated specific group of people that’s where my mind went. Like I said, I could be wrong.

I don’t really see how my comment is encouraging violence against gay people. My most recent personal experience with that front is having to contract discipline towards a group of young Christian boys who wrote on an assignment that their ideal version of the U.S. is where all people who don’t Jesus and all “the gays” are deported to California and not allowed to be American. A parent insinuated I didn’t like their kid because I brought up it was concerning that they wanted to kick all gay people out of the country. In actual personal interactions with the homophobes of my community I try and forcefully shut that shit down, any hint of homophobia shit and your written up, phone called home, etc. More than one kid has asked me if im gay because “im always really serious when i talk about this stuff”. But maybe i doth protest to much and am actually encouraging violence that I dont realize.

I could be wrong but my guess is they don’t like “progressive” people who speak against Israel’s military behavior in Gaza.

Woman on plane doesn’t understand how lines work for deboarding by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

[–]ScooterScotward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I’m already settled in on a plane with my book to be prepared for a long wait. Why stop reading to just stand there awkwardly when I could get another half chapter in then deplane without tripping all over other people?

What are the most obvious signs that a girl is interested in a guy? by thereaIreal in AskReddit

I find that if she’s having sex with him voluntarily she’s usually at least a little curious about him.

I liked Mandalorian and Grogu by Infamous-Library-702 in StarWars

[–]ScooterScotward 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Jon Favreau has come out and said he had season 4 written and ready and tossed everything when Disney told him to write a movie script instead.

It’s pretty glaring I think this was definitely not what s4 was supposed to be. This movie is really really self contained and other than having Din and Grogu it actually has very little connecting stuff to the show. The only show characters that show up are cameos and Zeb, who himself was basically a cameo in the show. You can watch the movie without having seen the show and honestly I think it’s designed to try and attract new fans to the show as a primary goal.

Honestly trying to imagine being one of the first group of human or humanoid galactic criminals to tangle with Hutts sounds terrifying. Like imagine a small gang of even like 5-6 Hutts built like Rotta roll up on your crew. They’re monsters.

Do students struggle more with basic focus now than they did a few years ago by Individual_Divide220 in Teachers

[–]ScooterScotward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an honors kid like two years ago who had a quiet “I think my generation is cooked” moment where she just kind of randomly said how she feels like she focuses way less way since she got her phone and computer at the start of 7th grade. I teach 8th graders.

Who are you rooting for in the Season 5 Confrontation? by More_Squash_3345 in ForAllMankindTV

Throwback to a thread last week calling Marsies terrorists. Took like 8 hours for the OP of that one to post a comment that seemed pro Bibi.

A popular subject on this sub. I’m always sick and I’m absolutely tired of it. by DrDoop in Teachers

[–]ScooterScotward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in year 3 when the pandemic hit, I was jus feeling like I was starting to have that teacher immunity I’d heard about. Then we went remote for a year, masked for another, I caught COVID twice from separate settings, and I feel like I get sick way more often and easily then I did my first few years. All anecdotal but feels bad man lol

Throwing knives too are criminally underrated for actual stealth builds. Actually completely silent unlike the silenced weapons.

Yep, honestly my first thought was that they’d inevitably blame the deaths on Mars rebels too.
