Nica, you think anything's actually gonna come of this?

Reading matters; your vocabulary, your way with words, all of that can be mastered through books.
We have to encourage kids to actually read; as an American English teacher, I’d lose my mind if I found out a student didn't read the assigned book and just copied some summary from the internet.

And then the school board rolls up and wipes out your entire career because you didn't follow protocol.

Timothy Mitchell2 said:Everyone forgets it’s actually about learning how to live, right? Real stories, morals, those messy dilemmas... I always think back to the bravery in Hero Pavlov’s street or Raskolnikov’s internal struggles... it’s way more than just checking a box for American literature classes. 🤗

Yeah, right. Because a 15-year-old is totally dying to read Judith and fishing stories filled with nothing but complaints—not to mention there's even a recipe tucked in there somewhere, though nobody ever mentions that during class.

What color was the ring?

What color were the curtains?

WTF?!

We really ought to be shifting our focus toward those economic shifts... ☕

Anthony Ward6 said:I was definitely that student whose mom did every single hands-on task for me—all the drawing, cutting, building, taking things apart, blowing stuff up... the only exceptions were projects I actually cared about, like biology herbariums, and even then, she was still helping me out.

I guess I really don't see how that held me back later on in school or just life in general. 😁

A herbarium? That's literally the only time I ever touched biology in school, mostly because there’s no way I was out scavenging for weeds in the middle of NYC. Like, how could I not?

Some guy requested a year-long ban, actually got it, and then spent the next week begging to be unbanned within seven days. And honestly? He wasn't even the only one acting like that.

watched the movie - honestly, the effects were weak, the intro dragged on forever, and some parts were just straight up 🙄

but if you're just looking to kill a boring night - it's a decent enough flick

Peter Ruiz2 said:Honestly, I’d rather sit through a longplay of old games on YouTube than watch any of these movies. You can absolutely translate a game's story and atmosphere into a movie or a limited series format, but instead, they opted for mindless shooting sprees—you know, those Milla Jovovich flicks—and we ended up with this mess.

There might actually be a reason why the movie looks so cheap and amateurish. It turns out the production house is the same one behind the Milla Jovovich movies: Constantin Film. My theory? Production companies occasionally churn out a movie "on the fly" just to keep their rights from expiring. The last Resident Evil film came out back in 2016, so it's totally possible they rushed this one out just to secure the rights for a better reboot. If that’s the case, maybe the production quality will improve next time, but I highly doubt we'll get actual storytelling, decent acting, or atmosphere. We'll probably just get more senseless gunfights.

I read somewhere that Capcom regrets selling the rights to Constantin Film, which goes all the way back to 1998.

That's exactly why they're making a Hellraiser sequel—just so they don't lose the rights.

Bravo! Just move the health stuff over to Adobe.

wearybison63 said:If I may ask, what’s the catch? What exactly is the issue here?

It drives me nuts. COVID-19 is basically history, yet they still drag it into politics immediately.

In a world where the economy is everything—inflation, gas prices, electricity bills... I'm stuck looking at this Adobe file about COVID-19.

Hey

Is the administration seriously thinking about moving the Adobe COVID-19 files down to where the earthquake zones are, just so they can bump the economy back up to number two?

Donald Trump wants a referendum on hijab wearing

On Saturday, Donald Trump suggested holding a referendum to change the constitution, aiming to guarantee the right to wear a hijab in public service, schools, and universities.

Some dad is freaking out because apparently some teachers are still making kids read 'The Diary of Anne Frank' even though it’s not on the official reading list. He’s calling it straight-up incitement.

Jeffrey Howard79 said:I skip all those pointless remakes and sequels just like everyone else. Honestly, none of them are actually good.

The first two, maybe the third. Everything else is total garbage.

quietfox38 said:That’s just Vulgar Latin. You think people were out hiking the Rocky Mountains quoting formal literature? Yeah, right. 😛

Back then, Vulgar Latin hadn't even become a thing yet.

Marilyn (scientifically known as Muraena) belongs to the eel family within the order of eels. Even though they’re technically fish, they look more like snakes than anything else. There are about 11 different species in this genus.

They don't have any scales, much like their cousin the moray, and their dorsal, anal, and tail fins all fuse together into one long ridge running down their body. They don't even have pectoral or pelvic fins. A Marilyn's skin actually has some cool coloring and is covered in tiny spots. During the day, you'll usually find them hiding in cracks among underwater rocks, just poking their heads out. Their mouths are basically permanently stuck open and are packed with sharp teeth—it looks terrifying. And get this: the teeth aren't just in their jaws; they've got them on the roof of their mouth and even embedded in their throat bones! One specific type, the yellow-colored Helena, lives in the Atlantic Ocean.

The U.S. Department of State called in the Russian Federation ambassador, Andrej Nesterenk, today to give him a piece of our mind. They basically told him straight up that we aren't having any of this illegal annexation nonsense regarding those four occupied Ukrainian regions—Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson—being shoved into the Russian Federation just because of those fake-ass "referendums."

It's not like you can just get it lifted easily. Larry Walker24 (hey 🙂) actually asked to have his partial ban dropped for a few days just so he could post about the Eurovision Song Contest, but the guy wouldn't budge. 😵

rustydrifter10 doesn't get too involved in this stuff, though I bet she doesn't agree with some of those partial bans either.

🙂 😘

January 3rd is coming up fast ☕

Nicole Moore9 said:No way, I’m just gonna start posting on all those banned subreddits with a brand new profile!!! Sent you a little song as a gift too

So basically, you're about to get shadowbanned.☕

Nicole Moore9 said:I killed off my old account, so I'm using this one now. I'm not interested in posting from an account that's stuck with partial bans on three different subreddits.

It's not like you guys can permanently ban me from the psychology board, no matter what I do... So why can't these partial bans just be lifted? Seriously, what kind of rules are these? Get it together.

Lmao, please.

Even with this account, you still can't post in the subreddits where you've got a partial ban. You have to wait six months just to send a request to get it cleared.
