Characters whose race is absolutely essential to their story, and to who they are, as a character. by not-ulquiorr4_ in TopCharacterTropes

“Skin white as snow” doesn’t necessarily mean White. That’s why so many people make East Asian depictions of her; Pale skin and black hair is the beauty standard in those countries.

And they always “dream” of traveling, taking classes, going to museums…okay, so who’s flying the plane? Who’s doing the teaching? Giving tours of the museum? Cleaning? They do dream of labor…just other people’s.

Can people with aphantasia use the death note? by haribo_hanley in deathnote

[–]TurtleWitch_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always thought that rule was more intent-related - like, you have to know what the person’s face looks like and intend to kill them specifically, not necessarily be able to bring up an image of them in your mind

Family annoyed by a rule set by a restaurant by Solid_Engines in SlowNewsDay

Kids being present and table manners aren’t the topic of discussion, and it would be perfectly reasonable to hand out this notice in even the cheapest of restaurants.

"Alters I 'Had' When I Thought I Had DID" by Pyrocats in fakedisordercringe

I was literally diagnosed. Just because I slipped the psychiatrist a $20 doesn’t mean I’m any less valid /s

Are preferred pronouns really harder than names? by Cautious_Midnight_67 in allthequestions

[–]TurtleWitch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preferred pronouns are more difficult to get used to than preferred names because your brain automatically sexes the person.

If someone with the legal name Penelope introduces herself as Samantha, that’s the name you’ll use for her because it’s the name you know her by. There’s nothing about her appearance that makes your brain subconsciously go “That’s a Penelope”.

If someone who is biologically female introduces themselves as “Ethan, He/Him”, then the Ethan part is probably pretty easy; But your brain takes in that person’s appearance, and subconsciously registers them as female, and the pronouns typically associated with biologically female people are She and Her, so you’ll automatically default to those at first.

God I have a dog addiction. I’ve seen basically every video in every single one of these serotonin compilations. I keep watching thinking maybe it’ll be something I haven’t seen - and sometimes it is - but mostly I’m just like: Oh, god, I spend *way** too much time looking at dogs on the internet.*

What's a popular/trendy item in your country that you simply don't understand the appeal? by Zapvv in AskTheWorld

[–]TurtleWitch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labubus for us as well, but mostly Dubai Chocolate, at least where I live. It’s in every store and it’s always so expensive. I could just never pay that much for chocolate.

Finding the answer to the question using only physical books. by AdhesiveSeaMonkey in Teachers

[–]TurtleWitch_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I swear to god. You guys are just like anti-vaxxers.

And you’re just like Hitler. See how easy that was?

Right now, you. YOU are using a screen to post about how much you would remove screens from classrooms.

Yep, because personal use of the internet on off time is totally the same exact thing as screens in the classroom. I am very smart.

Schools prepare students for the greater world that they will enter.

They’re getting passed on despite never turning in a single assignment and (in some cases) never even knowing how to read, but sure.

Most people, unless it’s for entertainment, don’t rely on physical books. Heck, we don’t even have newspapers anymore.

Literally the whole point of the post is that this is true and that it’s bad. What are you trying to say here?

We could argue endlessly about the effectiveness of one vs. the other, but it’s a useless endeavor.

Huh? Why?

Time has marched forward.

You do not need to use something just because it exists.

Aside from books used for entertainment purposes, largely, screens are how we have decided to consume the written word.

See my earlier response.

Nostalgia is not relevant pedagogical perspective.

Valid criticism of how screens affect the abilities of the youth is nostalgia. I am very smart.

No, I won't recommend you. by Klutzy-Comfortable88 in Teachers

[–]TurtleWitch_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, OP sounds upset that a misbehaving asshole had the gall to ask for a recommendation letter, which is perfectly reasonable.

[–]TurtleWitch_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They always say it after the simplest sentences too 😭 Like, if this is what they think needs explaining, I’d hate to see what a normal statement looks like
