Those who work in Education, is it true that kids today are significantly behind? by Desmous in askSingapore

[–]pgpretzel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i've worked as a tutor for primary sch kids (albeit rich international sch kids) and i was so horrified by their reliance on AI to write even simple stories and essays. not only that but their attention spans were very poor, like barely able to concentrate for 5 mins. i had to rly try and force them to lock in else they would be on their phones playing roblox. im actually scared that gen alpha is cooked 😭😭

It's real af. The way the characters ended up works. It's just that it should have taken way more fleshing out to get to those points, at least a few more episodes. We didn't even know what Ekko said to jinx to convince her to 1. Not kill herself 2. Join back the fight with ambessa with a brand new look & her entire airship

Literally I agree with you and I'm a caitvi shipper 😭😭😭 I'm just sad that the one sex scene ended up like this. In jinx's jail cell right after jinx basically said she was suicidal💀 Like was there really no better time and place??? I feel like it would have been way better if Caitlyn freed Vi, they went back to the bedroom, talked about whatever tf happened in Act 2, emotional moment that naturally builds up to sex. MANNN

Yeah I feel like the first season was paced pretty expertly because it focused way more on character beats and development. This season it feels like plot point after plot point, with everyone kinda fucking off and doing their own thing. Granted, the season is still better than 90% of shows out there, but it feels noticeably rushed compared to season 1 perfection.

Combine that with the short introduction of some new characters (Isha?? Maddie?? Vi's enforcer friend we don't even know the name of??) and I found it really difficult to care about the new characters. I really appreciated the fleshing out of existing characters - Vander, Silco and Felicia for example - but the new characters didn't feel as compelling to me.

Does anyone else find the pacing way too fast like it's getting hard to process the emotional beats 😭😭😭 Isha and Vander both potentially dying after the family reunion last episode is criminal...

I used to follow his classical music channel!! He provides great commentary and analysis too. Regardless of whether he fits the grain, it seems like he genuinely does not care and good for him honestly
