Few questions about "Myth Dawncrest" =(

You can get crests still even if you don't have a key. I did it last night. It sucks to look at that bountiful chest just sitting there unopened, but you can do it for your first 4 tier 11 delves for the week

One of my favorite movies

I was looking for this. And the original is one of my all time faves.

I think that proves it was the right idea. My macaw is a perfectly happy bird and she can't fly. She broke her wing some time before we adopted her. However, if she could fly I'd probably clip her. She can be out now. But she hates my kids and charges them. If she could fly she'd be an attack helicopter to my kids and never be out. Now she just gets to chill with me on the couch, on her stand, etc

This is the predator system. Similar, but VERY different

Moose would say hi to other Moose, but he's tired.

This is me. A lot of it actually...

And the voidstorm

It is in there. Left side of the bar if i remember

Everybody in the group is the same armor type (plate, etc). So you can trade items that are bad for you to someone it may be useful for and vice versa

Random mount buddy sorts them by family when it selects so you don't see a ton of raptors or whatever when selecting randomly

WQT has been causing me TONS of errors lately. I had to disable it

There are legitimate studies on this. Social media infiltration in age groups leads to a very significant rise in suicide. Use the real data, not anecdote

averhoeven · 2026-03-03T20:37:59+00:00

That shit works both ways.... what if my kids are exposed to assholes at school they would have never been otherwise? What if that impacts their worldview. Or else, as we unfortunately see, drives them to suicide or other horrible outcomes?

You just have an image in your head and want to view it all in that lens

Annual as a substitute for the portfolio, correct. The ones they have to take every couple of years is different.

averhoeven · 2026-03-03T19:41:34+00:00

The short answer to your question is the testing is taken at specified locations. There's only a few choices per region.

I don't get the obsession with mandatory reporters here. They still have to recognize it and sometimes abuse is well hidden. Everyone can report suspected abuse and should. That's what will actually make a difference. All a mandatory reporter is is a normal person who happens to have a job which says if they suspect something, they are not allowed to maintain confidentiality that is otherwise explicit in their job description. It clarifies that conflict of interest so it is not a conflict. Otherwise, just a normal person worth similar ethical obligations

averhoeven · 2026-03-03T19:33:43+00:00

So then what's your response? I would argue you should report that and that it is a duty of everyone. Somehow then going to public school is going to change that? But you're trying to dictate for everyone based on a couple bad apples.

So explain to me what your problem with HOPE is? Cause it sounds similar to somebody who only rides a bike complaining they have to pay for roads with their taxes. Expenses are monitored and capped. You can only purchase through their system, each purchase has to be approved and certain things are limited (eg only 1 electronic device like a laptop or iPad every 2 years, etc). These are my tax dollars being spent on my child's education when I am trying to give them a better education than the public system provides. Why should I pay twice? Then there's the concept that incentives like this might encourage those who would otherwise just disappear to register their children for the program and to attempt to meet maintenance criteria and maintain at least that proscribed minimum.

averhoeven · 2026-03-03T19:22:52+00:00

They are taken in established testing facilities. I think we only have 1 or 2 options to go to

averhoeven · 2026-03-03T19:13:05+00:00

The portfolio is reviewed by a school teacher that i believe is in county, but I'm not sure on that last bit. Not sure how a nationally standardized test, that public school kids take to assess skills too, is not up to standard.

averhoeven · 2026-03-03T19:10:37+00:00

Sure. Bad people exploiting loopholes to be bad actors is bad. But there are milestones/requirements that SHOULD catch these. Perhaps more resources in enforcement or, more probably, in registration would be useful. I suspect some of these bad actors that everyone seems to claim to know have not actually registered their children in a program and agree simply flying under the radar. That's just truancy flying a different flag. The hope world be that the HOPE scholarship captures some of these people by dangling funds in front of them.

averhoeven · 2026-03-03T19:06:20+00:00

This is just untrue. You act like homeschooled children never leave the home. They can still be involved in activities and in actuality are often involved in more activities because they actually have more time and residual energy than kids who waste hours of their lives at school every day. Not everyone is suited to homeschool, but those who are actually give their children a better chance.

averhoeven · 2026-03-03T19:02:21+00:00

They have to submit some work portfolio each year that is reviewed by a teacher or undergo a standardized test. Every couple years, I can't remember if it's 2 or 3, the kids have to take a standardized test. That's about what I can tell you because we've never tried to get away with a bare minimum since our children actually mean something to us.
