      Too Old For This

      @tinuviel I have no idea, but either way, the lack of communication is ridiculous. If there are rules that they need to follow and the schedule I've given them doesn't fit within it, someone needs to say something so I can try to work out a compromise. I can't work something out when they won't communicate with me.

      Too Old For This

      @macha That's going to be an issue, because you are liable for the vehicle as a co-signer on the contract. That's why I said you need to fight the repo and credit hits. You signed a contract so you can't say you aren't liable for the vehicle, but you can insist that you were willing and able and attempted payment, and that they refused your payment, and then tried to collect on it after the fact.

      I love building computers, but you know what I don't love? Dirty ones. But I also enjoy cleaning dirty ones. There is something very cathartic about cleaning dirty as fuck computers.

      I posted on game that I had recently got a very new and very fancy new laptop for when I don't feel like sitting at my desk. But my old, something I had gotten in 2017, which was also very expensive at the time I felt still had some life left in it. And we aren't made of money, so I offered to give this one away once I fixed it.

      And by fix it, I mean, clean it, replace the batter and NVME drive because I'm fairly certain those were the two things that had slowed the PC down considerably. I may also upgrade the RAM because fuck it.

      This is what I had walked into.

      Absolute filth. That exhaust fan though.

      I

      So in recognition of goddamn everyone telling me I needed to, here and elsewhere, I finally sat down and watched She-Ra.

      And yes, it was very, very good. I felt a lot of emotions about princesses with rainbow powers and ridiculous goofy names.

      (seriously Bo or Beau would still be a pun)

      My only quibble would be that... well, people were making comparisons with AtLA above, and in both of them I just felt like they would have been better with a full episode of denouement after the climactic confrontation. Just, with a cast this sprawling and so many emotional threads going the length of the series, I feel like they deserved a full episode's worth of resolution.

      But overall, great characters, great conflicts, some remarkably heavy stuff while still being appropriate for children. May, y'know, have prompted a Single Manly Tear or two.

      Also really liked how it reframed some character traits in the main cast into character flaws that are usually presented as categorically heroic traits.

      ***=Spoiler***

      Also, I feel ashamed that someone had to point out to me that Horde Prime was, like, so much fundie imagery. As presented by a queer woman who grew up in a fundamentalist household. I am very good at analysis dammit.

      Oh, and a few things that I still just find so very amusing. Brightmoon's dungeon. Entrapta's realization of which side she's on. Everyone's interpretations of Catra in the D&D epsidode. Bow's refusal to cover up his abs.

      @crawfish This really makes me want to ask if you take commissions. I'd like something done of my Old Man cat who passed away in December that I could use for a tattoo.

      Hey.

      I don't know if this got lost in the shuffle (shuffle, noise, vitriol), but I never minded the idea of anyone saying, "Hey, this thing is awesome and we want to feature it." I think it's a great community-building idea, and I hope you keep doing it. Even if people disagree, they will know what you think is good.

      The big explosion over ideas was because of the prerequisites.

      That is all.

      @mietze said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:

      My youngest child came home with a pilgrims and Indians themes project in kindergarten this year school year in WA state. Which was horrifying to me on many levels.

      Public school instruction in the US is extremely fractured, not only state by state but district by district and school by school. (My older kids' elementary school would have NEVER done that, and also at the time was the main site for a native american students and families group for the district, and those parents very generously shared resources with the teachers, students, and other families about PacNW history and current culture!!)

      There is such a strange deviation in how we teach people on a state-by-state basis. I spent my pre-teen through high school period on Maui, wherein we did explicitly discuss American colonialism and the annexation's effects on the modern day. That said, we absolutely did not discuss anything in lengthy detail that solely affected the mainland. This made it surprisingly frank, like in US history the teacher said "The Civil War was about slavery," and that was that. When I was in early elementary school, I lived in Georgia in which the textbook used was like "here are the reasons why states' rights are important..." so you can imagine how much unlearning happened in middle & high school there.

      There's stuff going on with my little sisters that has drained all my energy. Then at school my favorite kid (yes, I know I shouldn't have favorites, but his story is the one that just makes you SOB and so I can't help but love him) hit me and threw ice at my back?? Then another kiddo threw an absolute shiz storm and screamed any time I tried to give the other kids directions and started kicking me.

      Like... this is not my favorite part of being a teacher.

      The apology thread has a 50% chance of just turning into a shooting gallery for bitter cunts.

      Right. I skimmed that and honestly didn't think of Hunter or Mummy. :/ Sorry for forgetting someone's favorite game lines.

      I only know because it was pointed out on the onyx path forum, honestly.
