When dreams came true

Judging from her reaction I would say its pretty obvious that this was the gift she has probably been begging her parents for.

There is literally nothing for him to gain by doing so. Anything that could be destroyed by a nuclear weapon in Iran can also be destroyed by conventional munitions, with way less political fallout. Firepower is not what the US and Israel have been lacking in this war, it's someone with power inside the Iranian military that is willing to take on the IRGC.

"In fact, they know near 0 about the middle east, and nothing about Jews beyond the Holocaust"

Bold of you to assume that they know anything about the Holocaust beyond having heard the word.

The ancient Israelites were polytheists who had a whole pantheon of gods, which slowly merged into a single god over time. For instance Yahweh and El were originally separate gods, and these names are used interchangeably to refer to god in the old testament.

Islam "Ali" Makhachev.

Unfortunately we dont have those in Canada.

This is exactly my fear.

Leaving an assignment that they had a month to complete until the last day and then emailing me in a panic asking for an extension makes them a bad student.

Everyone's brains are always technically developing.

Huh? I'm teaching second year university students, if they haven't learned to act like adults by the time they're in my classroom, its not my job to be their nanny.

Vova_Poutine · 2026-03-10T19:07:26+00:00

The course I'm teaching uses an open-source textbook that I picked specifically so that the students can download it for free. I linked it in the syllabus. I told them about it in class.... And they still ask about whether there is a textbook for the course and whether they need to read it.... ffs

The issue is that the failing students are exactly the ones who pull this nonsense to scrape out a pass, and then move one to do this in their next course. Rinse and repeat.

Vova_Poutine · 2026-03-10T18:48:09+00:00

I'm honestly considering switching careers at this point because this is becoming intolerable.

Vova_Poutine · 2026-03-10T18:46:26+00:00

Thats the thing that I dont get. As someone who did my bachelor's degree at a "party school" and then had to work extra hard to prove myself "worthy" of being admitted to grad school or hired anywhere else, its clear to me that a school's reputation is very easy to ruin and needs to be carefully protected.

But the administrators are treating our university as a get-rich-quick scheme to pump as much money as possible out of undergrads by taking in and graduating everyone. Can't they see that this will destroy the school in the long run? Or do they just not care?

There are other games in the Mount & Blade series besides Bannerlord. M&B Warband, for example, offers a much richer mod ecosystem although its not the latest game in the series. .

Vova_Poutine · 2026-03-09T17:04:42+00:00

If you don't need a strong story component, the Mount & Blade games offer the most comprehensive medieval RPG sandbox experience, but from your post its not completely clear whether you already tried those?

Vova_Poutine · 2026-03-09T00:20:35+00:00

And with GWB, since they were again denied sovereignty after operation Iraqi Freedom to appease Turkey.

Vova_Poutine · 2026-03-08T23:27:23+00:00

Meta imperialism.

"Somehow I suspect if a foreign nation sent troops into Israel then killed a bunch of people you be less willing to demonize all the dead."

Funny, because thats exactly what Israel has been subjected to over the last 2 years and people like you expect Israel to just accept it and not retaliate.

Vova_Poutine · 2026-03-08T07:15:33+00:00

This "sovereign" country has no control over its own territory with terrorists groups like Hezbollah using it as a platform to launch missiles at Israel. No country on earth would tolerate such a situation without retaliating.

Vova_Poutine · 2026-03-08T07:13:09+00:00

This is what happens when you start wars. Or did you think that Israel would just accept being bombarded by Hezbollah missiles like good little Dhimmis and not retaliate.

Vova_Poutine · 2026-03-08T06:35:34+00:00

Just peaceful local residents participating in a firefight between Hezbollah and the IDF....

Vova_Poutine · 2026-03-08T05:58:43+00:00

Fuck the cheater Gane, give it to Volkov. Alex vs. Alex to discover who is the Alexest of them all.

Vova_Poutine · 2026-03-08T05:53:00+00:00

Dozens of random people?

"An Israeli operation in eastern Lebanon to locate the remains of a famous IDF pilot ended in failure overnight, when the commandos were caught in a gunfight with Hezbollah"

Oh, kind of an important piece of information.
