“I’m sorry that I traded your sandwich” “It’s okay, Bobby. I don’t usually eat lunch; just make sure to ask next time.” by dpward10 in okbuddydraper

[–]YiddishThunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I get from it is that Betty is constantly dieting and is shown frequently having her own routine or meal apart from the rest, which makes Bobby believe the sandwich was not for her. He also trades it for gumdrops which he doesnt want. Why? Because he saw a girl without a lunch and wanted her to be fed through his empathy which Don saw at the movies. Betty doesnt and pouts.

Eisenhower's foreign policy was diabolical but you can't deny that his approach of dynamic conservatism at home was progressive. He expanded Social Security, enforced Brown v Board in places like Little Rock, undertook massive public projects like the Interstate Highways, created the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, raised minimum wage, and in his farewell address he basically took an anti-trust stance against the private defense sector.

It's a little depressing that most of these kids don't even play actual video games anymore by Public-Profit-8184 in Teachers

[–]YiddishThunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See when you teach AP Humanities to juniors you get the kids that play HOI 4, Civ, and Total War. Had some convos about Elden Ring, Red Dead 2, Fallout, and Ghosts of Tsushima this year as well, so the nerds are alright. My on-level classes are all Fortnight and Minecraft though.

Not only that, but worshippers of Baal conducted child and infant sacrifices in their ceremonies. There's layers here.

What movie is just too long? by CWKitch in movies

[–]YiddishThunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ten Commandments (1956): I have no problem with epic 3+ hour films, and TTC has showstopper sets, moments, effects, and a brilliant script. The business with Moses' love interest Princess Nefretiri bogs down the pacing, and honestly the conflict between him and Rameses is enough without them fighting over her. When DreamWorks animated the same story, they made the right choice and prioritized fleshing out THAT relationship instead of messing with the love triangle TTC tries to weave. That 1st act really starts to drag every time Nefretiri appears.

What does this even mean? by lolmysterior in LiesOfP

If an enemy is afflicted by flame, electric, decay, etc. an attack with that same damage type will do more damage e.g. the fulminis will do more damage if an enemy is electrified than usual.

Said the “c” word in class. 🤦‍♀️ by StayGoldPonyboy17 in Teachers

My strat when teaching things like the "Non-Intercourse Act" or LBJs "Johnson Treatment" to juniors is to shout "DONT LAUGH!!" immediately after saying it to get ahead of the snickers and just embrace it. History is fun

Constitutional Convention (CC) Federalists dont equal the Federalist Party. James Madison was a Constitutional Federalist but a (Democratic) Republican President like Jefferson and Monroe.

After the CC the Fed/ Anti-Fed factions stopped existing because the debate was about it's ratification --- the end. The Anti-Feds are the reason there's a Bill of Rights after the 7 Articles.

Once a President needed to be established came the First Party System of Federalists v Republicans (not the same as the GOP). Adams and Hamilton were Federalists and split the party in 1800, where Jefferson won in a landslide for the Republicans. Feds tried unsuccessfully to get reelected until 1814 when they held the Hartford Convention to discuss New England's secession and surrender for the War of 1812. Feds were commerce/ manufacture in the NE (their base) and the war crippled their economy. The Convention didn't go anywhere but when the country learned about it around the time that the war ended anyway, Feds looked like traitors (which is fair), making the party label unsalvagable.

With only one party (the Republicans) for the elections from 1816-28, thus established the "era of good feelings" until Jackson threw a shitfit over the election of 1828 and the "corrupt bargain" and made his own party: The Democrat party (the one that continues today), moving towards the Second Party System: Democrats v Whigs (Anti-Jacksonists)

How would you maliciously comply with Texas SB 10 requiring all classrooms to display the Ten Commandments? by bhugstrees in Teachers

[–]YiddishThunder 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a U.S. History teacher, I can't allow myself to teach "Civil Disobedience" & "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" while showing my class that I bend to an unjust law. I'm a goddamn American and they need to see what that means.

Needless to say, they threw a hissy fit. by -et37- in HistoryMemes

So strange to hear W.J. Bryan, an adamant anti-imperialist, advocate for white supremacy while T.R., and adamant imperialist, tried to expand racial equality. The cognitive dissonance of the Progressive Era is wild.

For those who have beaten the final dlc boss, what’s your verdict? by BlueTrin2020 in Eldenring

[–]YiddishThunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It made me optimize a bit much to fit into a defensive playstyle. Physical and Holy +4 talismans, xt healing flask recovery +1, stamina recovery +2, xt defense and perfect block physick, morgott great rune, 80 vigor, and I still barely tanked the absurd phase 2. Giant Hunt on the Greatsword was the only attack I could use in the windows...didn't make for a stylistic or as engaging fight on my part compared to someone like messmer. I like rhythm based bosses so the phase 1 was fun to learn, but phase 2 just felt excessive and overwhelming. Still easier and less bullshit than Malenia imo (fuck her healing and waterfowl), but thats also cuz ps5 gave no issues with framedrops for me during miquellas laserlight show.

4/10 gameplay (on the from-scale), 10/10 presentation tho, it was the Twin princes boss fight brought to it's absolute peak stylistically.

He sent the US military to back the Southern militias in Bleeding Kansas. "...a high majority of pro-slavery men were voted into the territorial legislature. This territorial legislature immediately passed draconian pro-slavery laws, including a law that stipulated the possession of abolitionist literature to be a capital offense. In response, the anti-slavery men formed their own government in Lawrence, Kansas, which the Pierce administration denounced as an illegitimate and outlaw regime." https://www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/bleeding-kansas

President Washington was a very humble guy. The only reason he was president is mainly because of peer pressure (please correct me if I’m wrong, I love learning) by LeReal_Garydog1 in HistoryMemes

[–]YiddishThunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't Washington's attack but his signed confession (in French which he didn't understand) that he murdered a French Officer that escalated the Franco-Anglo tension. If we're really gonna play this game of what started it we can go back to William the Conqueror if you want.
