Perhaps they can also install many public toilets, and advertise a safe, loosely patrolled area to enjoy commemorative anal sex.

It may not deter all of the Nazis, but still manage to be a fitting memorial.

edit?

“Presenting”? Like, we’re talking about giving presentations? Presenting is the skill of giving presentations?

How the fuck did that even come to mind?

Phrasing wise, yeah what they said wouldn’t work and this person is clearly early career. The most effective response to this (when it’s something I want to stop) is calling it “auraless” or “odd” behavior with varying intonation based on age group.

Seeing what the kiddos make is my favorite part.

Sometimes my heart gets broken - like once my high schoolers had to solder and build a prototype device using the components I provided to them, any function, they just had to create a slide show where they pitched their device to me as an investor. IE - this is a project I thought a lot about, spent real cash dollars on, figured out to teach a bunch of high schoolers to solder without them causing me to need to feel out paperwork…. I had two refuse to present. Was devastating to me, one kid in particular I was really surprised by, one I expected.

But usually it works out that I get to see a few that make me very happy. I try to suss out nascent interests that I can draw out. A project lets you find ways to help a student flavor it around marine biology or welding or something they actually like and will spend time researching. I also try to learn more shit about the world all the time and unleashing the mental processing power of a bunch of children can be a fun way to do that.

seeing balaclava/baklava mixed up makes me feel better about when I did it as a college student

? Being able to give a professional presentation is a pretty crucial job skill. My seventh graders are presenting for me next week.

Anything a middle schooler does is inherently suspect. The first thing you learn teaching middle school is that they are always trying to fuck with you, and anything like this is extremely suspicious.

There’s also an obsession with the Battle of Tours. “Catholic” to them is more the idea of white heritage.

There’s an evolving strain of US Catholicism, exemplified by weirdos like JD Vance, who like the aesthetic of Catholicism (especially the Deus Vult thing) without really caring about any of the actual Catholic beliefs. It’s more like they have a childish misunderstanding of Catholicism as just being a more serious Christian. Which is not uncommon a misunderstanding in the south/Midwest, oddly enough - the desire for fundies to create a coalition to fight abortion in the 70’s/80’s really ended a lot of the more typical anti-Catholicism of the south.

Similar to the “American Orthodox,” which is the same idea with more of a Russian flavor.

The story isn’t strictly on rails - you do get some choices (especially how your character reacts in the end.) When you reach the part where you are told that you have to kill one of two guys, you can actually refuse to kill either and take on a massive firefight.

There’s a story I heard from Judaism, where the rabbis were arguing about whether god was cool with something or not. One rabbi was against all of the other rabbis, and asked god to prove him right. God personally spoke up, and was like “yeah, he’s entirely correct” - but the rabbis end up telling off god. They point out that they only have the rules he sent down to work with, and having to call him for help every time they need a ruling wouldn’t be fair or reasonable.

For more context, about ten years ago a bunch of shit heels (the “sad puppies”) got mad that “woke” books were winning Hugo awards, so they started a movement to mess with the nominations. Tingle’s “Space Raptor Butt Invasion” got nominated as a troll, but Tingle is a really cool guy and turned it around on them by writing “Pounded in the Butt by my own Hugo Award Nomination.”

Also assuming that mental health care even exists in your state…. Oklahoma doesn’t even have providers to get that expensive evaluation from…

Would edo period Japanese even have exclamation marks?

Here’s what Katie Miller is posting on Twitter.

They love war. They know the economy sucks and the president is unpopular - they are the type of people who believe the myth of the Nazi economy being good because of its war machine. They also want wars as an excuse to delay elections, at no point have they been subtle about this.

There’s a scene in the novel The Orphanmasters Son where the main character jerks off male cows to get enough calories to survive a North Korean camp. It broke my suspension of disbelief, tbh.

You’ve caught me. This shitpost is part of my veiled conspiracy to increase oat milk sales using a diegetically attractive Santa Claus. It’s part of my cults plan to ensure the growth of the Quaker Man, who we keep in an underground vat we will eventually use to achieve the apocalypse.

Legit. Gotta be fresh, homemade stuff can be slimy. But oat milk is dank.

It’s amazing how being an unrepentant sex pest is like a golden ticket into conservative stardom.

Reminds me how many of the “War on Science” conservative grifters crying academic freedom actually lost their jobs for fucking their students.

She is literally calling for Trump to invade her country.

As for next year, Machado told the outlet that Trump “certainly deserves” to be awarded the Peace Prize.

She’s a pro genocide MAGAt.
