Death by Snu Snu!

Easy there, Edgelord.

Why even bother with a dream? “As soon as your hand touches the chair, everyone in the room is flung into a parallel dimension, each of your consciousnesses replacing the consciousness of the previous host, Quantum Leap-style. You are all sitting in a high school cafeteria on folding metal chairs…”

Then find a way to tell the players that you all need to somehow get the low-INT barbarian inhabiting Karen’s body elected PTA president before their consciousnesses can be returned to their original bodies.

I’m a freaking history teacher whose father was a computer scientist in the 70s and I didn’t know this until I read Hidden Figures

It isn’t free at all

C’mon dude. As a history teacher, I can tell you that it is definitely possible to fire a gun without arms.

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

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.

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.

And in the morning, I’m making waffles

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

It’s the whole “edge of space” thing that really pisses me off. When the billionaires started talking about creating their own space program, I was expecting corporate settlements on the moon or Mars–dystopian, to be sure, but at least humanity would be making progress to the stars. But no, let’s be content with charging people to get to the edge of space so they can go home and tell themselves they’re astronauts.

Your username indicates you don’t do much dating of men… (Not that it invalidates your point)

Why does Stephanie as a pet name gross you out? Am I missing something?
