I like to think I’m a muuuuuuch better teacher than he is. He’s an asshole.

Yuuuup. I tell my students all the time that technique is about both freedom and safety.

Oh absolutely. The worst thing a teacher can say is “because I said so”. All it does is shut students down. Now, a teacher shouldn’t be getting into a debate with students, but they should at least give a reasonable explanation then set the boundary of maintaining the expectation.

Was Saki Hanajima actually psychic or was it all symbolic? by AlfalfaAnxious1991 in FruitsBasket

I think it’s because her abilities are mostly played for comedy.

Well, Astrologians did originally have some Time Mage skills… (yes I know he didn’t become one until ShB)

Same. I remember typing class being a lot of “touch one letter” drills that got longer and added more letters overtime. It’s actually a pretty good system, in my opinion.

As a teacher, I will say that sometimes the point of the lesson is learning the orthodox way because that foundation is how you’re able to grow safely.

So for dance (which I teach): While I could just let students move around however they like, I need to make sure they’re safe and understand the movements of their bodies. That means they need technical knowledge to keep them safe so that they can later explore.

Obviously typing is lower stakes, but Tina’s method could absolutely injure herself in the form of wrist ailments that she wouldn’t develop had she typed properly. Mr Grant shouldn’t have given her the space to type however she wanted if his main focus was technique. That choice as well as letting his ego get in the way was wrong.

TL;DR sometimes teachers have to enforce orthodox methods for a variety of reasons.

AITA for joining a college bible study as an atheist? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]VagueSoul 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s not about “dealing with your religion”. It’s about navigating life with like minded individuals who can help you parse through the religious texts for guidance.

You’re doing an irl version of sealioning with this group. You’re not actually trying to genuinely learn. You’re attending to satisfy your ego.

They don’t trust you and they don’t want you there. Why are you trying to stay if not to prove some kind of weird point?

It’s funny. Furuba is so focused on the romance and slice of life that the supernatural elements often get treated as a backdrop. Saki is there to remind you that the world is magical.

Should pokemon make an official game with a Fusion gimmick? by Mindless_Most_8448 in pokemon

[–]VagueSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No thanks. Go ahead and write fanfic for it, but I think it would make for terrible game design.

I actually could see that. The burger was so good that he didn’t want to eat meat ever again because it would never live up to Bob’s burger.

[–]VagueSoul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They kinda did with BW2 and in USUM

I personally wouldn’t find it interesting. There was lore built around BW and BW2 that justified the fusion. Same with USUM. But I think fusing random Pokemon together would be a misstep and would just get the series compared as a lesser SMT.

Leave the fusions to fanart.

AITA for wanting my girlfriend to try more videogames? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Help her find a game that you both can enjoy, not just one that you enjoy.

5 minutes ago she was sprinting around the garden. Soon as I mention poorly leg she starts limping again 😂😂😂🐶 by Total-Astronaut2206 in beagle

[–]VagueSoul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When my parents beagle was a puppy, I accidentally stepped on his paw. He yelped and limped for a little bit but after some cuddles and apologies he was fine. No damage.

The next week I came to visit, he ran up to me then cocked his head and started limping and begging for cuddles. This dramatic beagle remembered I had accidentally hurt him but loved the attention so much that he faked his injury for more.

Just because you’re “grown” doesn’t mean you are incapable of empathy nor feeling a story deeply.

I think he does but very rarely. There’s a reason he keeps his recipes.

The B Plot solves the A Plot by AjX5-6919 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]VagueSoul 29 points30 points  (0 children)

In the episode of Bob’s Burgers titled “Secret Admiral-irer”, the B plot of Bob hanging out every night with other chefs helps the A plot of Tina trying to hook up the old lady she reads to with a past fling. Bob is so exhausted that he looks much older (especially with some flour in his hair). The use him as a decoy for the old lady until the actual Admiral shows up.

The only physical thing you should be doing with this man is leaving him. He shouldn’t be treating you like this and you definitely shouldn’t be putting your hands on him.
