What other orientation could he possibly put it in? The dude rolled a nat 20. If he can’t get it to fit after a roll like that, then there’s really no hope.

It’s like when someone tells me something is unbreakable. It becomes my mission to come up with a way of breaking it.

“Only the Dark Side has the power to have you do a 360 on the swing!”

Maybe… Maaaaaayyyyyyybeeeee the Democrats need to nominate someone who is actually worth getting excited about instead of just being not-Trump.

It isn’t free at all

Teacher here. Kids want the quick dopamine hit from their phones and their school-supplied chromebooks. They do not want to take the time to try something that might be hard, and they do not want to stretch their brains at all

Was this in the 2000s? After the Columbine shooting, a lot of schools banned big trench coats and other long jackets because you could have hIdDeN wEaPoNs under them

IIRC didn’t they have a small amount of alcohol or other chemical that kids would use too many of to purposely get drunk/high? Maybe I’m thinking of something else though

I agree with you 100%. What they are latching on to is the fact that SOMETIMES, in EXTREMELY LIMITED AND SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES, some enslaved people were able to “hire themselves out” as craftsmen when they had done whatever work the enslaver had required of them. An even more limited number of those enslaved people were paid for their work and got to keep their pay.

But the percentage of people we are talking about here is tiny … but it is nonzero. The standard therefore isn’t completely wrong, but it absolutely gives the impression that these cases were waaaay more common than they actually were.

Right? I’m a history teacher. I will almost definitely be seeing Oppenheimer in the theaters and buying it on Blu-Ray later. I might watch Barbie if it’s on a streaming service I subscribe to.I have zero nostalgia towards Barbie and don’t really care about the movie, but ive heard good things, so… maybe I’ll watch it someday. To say that they are competing for the same audience is ludicrous at best.

Does anyone know if there’s an equivalent of BadWomensAnatomy on Lemmy? Because this post would be a perfect addition. Edit: it looks like there is.

No, you are thinking of coups. A true revolution would never succeed without broad public support.

Aspartame, apparently

I’m literally watching this with my boys for the first time as I type this!

Isn’t that just a diminutive of Frances?

Teacher here. Anything can be a name. Trust me. I’ve seen things…

Back to the Future. It has been my “watch when I’m sick at home” go-to since I was 12.

Teaching as a profession sucks ass in general right now… but at least a lot of the special educator-specific bullshit is not my problem anymore. But thank you.

Someone told me that if I wanted to be a history teacher I should get a degree in special Ed to “make myself more marketable.” It took 14 years to get out of special education and land a job teaching history

With the amount of aspartame I drink, I’d like the process to hurry up already, please.
