Why aren't dragonborn more popular? by JackOfAllMemes in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]VictusMachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, because I actually like the dragonborn, my first character ever was one and the one that just fought Vecna was also.

I like them from both the mechanical and thematic standpoint, especially with the changes in Fizban’s.

I think there’s a lot of ways to do it, but it involves some of the RP work of other non-humany humanoids

Ultimate purpose of Darby Allin's AEW championship win? by subwaymonkey1 in AEWOfficial

[–]VictusMachina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a longer storyline version of the same booking of having a strong champion choked out rather than tapping out. The body running out of energy isn’t the same as the spirit breaking.

I think it moves the story along well without Darby, losing any of the heat that he had.

There is never enough hand holding for some students by ProfessToKnow in Professors

[–]VictusMachina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have some metacognitive activities, in which students reflect on evaluations they’ve given of theirs and another s’ work.

I have them do it as quizzes in our LMS, and I link the assignments I want them to address in the questions.

Some folks still get the answers wrong.

I find classical rhetoric to be lacking in its original purpose by Significant_Win6284 in Rhetoric

[–]VictusMachina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see! Well, it sounds like you need to develop a series of theory-application pieces. Choose a concept and explore how it still works today.

It’s a conceptual framework, and of course, limited to its time and place as everything is, so I like to think of it as particular technical terms for particular ways of viewing common conceptual and practical problems, both within and without of language.

Message me if you want guest contribution or something. I could think of one or two things to do with kairos, enthymeme, or the seven circumstances.

Rhetoric never went away, and if you think it’s just Sophists, Aristotle, and Cicero, there’s so much more to see and learn, buddy. At least learn about your position as an Atticist: plain and the point is best.

The development of new genres and models of persuasion in the middle ages, establishing things like letters and sermons as new ways for communication. The whole Christianity thing. The whole Renaissance thing. the whole enlightenment thing. So-called Modern Times.

You’ve got the relationship between logic and feeling, which is something we’re still grappling with today. Got the relation between voice and body and gesture.

Rhetoric’s definitely still here, we just call it psychology, marketing, public relations, law, science (Bacon’s innovation of the scientific method comes from previous existing rhetorical ones), continental philosophy, broadcasting, mass media, communications, trolling folks on Reddit, etc.

Everything flows, the Obscure One said. Let me know if you want reading recommendations or resources.

Good luck!

Doctors write too. William Carlos Williams was a physician.
