My 7th graders are playing "Diplomacy" to get ready for their 19th c-WWI unit, and I overheard a great conversation between two girls:
"Can we be allies?"
"Umm...I like you as a person, but, not, like...as a country."
Whenever I teach the Song of Roland, I wonder again how it fell so low in the western canon.
My 7th graders lose it when he first refuses to blow the horn. The girls are like "what is he thinking!!?? Call for help!" and the boys are like "YEAH COME GET SOME"

It is really difficult to understand how a man could become so corrupted as to desire and fetishize what should be a devastating tragedy and betrayal.
It's like watching someone eat vomit.

Counterpoint: Gen X and above will reach old age as a generation that grew up without the internet, and that will be a significant dinstinguishing mark
@kendrictonn
Re-orient your understanding of education as a certification seeking enterprise as opposed to a knowledge seeking enterprise and it makes perfect sense.
Otherwise, why wouldn't someone be excited to share a common connection to their greatest passion?
@AltHistCody
This is either going to be more social media noise or one of the most significant events in modern military history
So like most of the war so far.
@SwannMarcus89
Dude I used to work in voter registration outreach, this is not just a zoomer thing
Most people have like 2-3 completely random political opinions and that's it
@NathanJRobinson
Nathan's argument here only makes sense if you assume as a precondition that native Americans could do no wrong regardless of how many civilians they slaughtered
Makes sense as the same logic is applied to Palestinians
@AuronMacintyre
AIDS: "No you can't get it from casual contact, that's homophobic
Monkeypox: "Of course you can get it from casual contact, to say otherwise is homophobic"
@hollowearthterf
Went to a Christian high school/spent time in Christian college ministry and this is def a trend.
The obvious explanation is that the men are using marriage as a way to resolve their homosexuality and the women find them safe in the right ways. Just a guess tho
@peterjukes
With this logic, most native american tribes are not indigenous considering they had in most cases displaced another group within the last 2000 years
Somehow, the Britain boys have convinced the France girls that their current occupations of Brest and Belgium do not preclude a turn 4 alliance, and those poor girls find them convincing
The desire to intercede is strong, but as an educator I must follow the Prime Directive
@jardinsecret888
People really think that people just played in the mud for 1000 years after the Fall of Rome
The medievals were more advanced than the Romans in many ways, and yes they had steel tools.
@eyeslasho
If a population gets so past their environment's carrying capacity that they can't survive even with modern agricultural knowledge and foreign aid, that's unfortunate
But not related to dog food in another continent
@whstancil
Are these large bodies not to some degree a consequence of emmisions regulation?
At least that's what I was told at the dealer when I bought my little used Ford Ranger. Maybe that's incorrect, but there's a prevailing belief that this was Obama-era regs.
@SwannMarcus89
I used to work in voter outreach, and this is by no means a surprising combo of ideas.
American voters aren't really on a spectrum. Their beliefs are basically just scatter plots
@whstancil
Have the regulations that created the perverse incentives been eliminated?
Because otherwise it would seem we are incentivizing big trucks and then punishing manufacturers for following the lead.
@sama
Going after employees individually is wrong, but the fact that your team thought it was acceptable to add explicit political commands to an AI model shows many on the team don't fully respect the responsibility of creating a groundbreaking AI.

"This is f***ed up" said the man, continuing to go about his business the same way every day
"I can't believe how f****ed up this is" he continued

It's so easy to teach.
The drama is right there, you don't need to embellish anything, and it's great for early year discussions about historiocity and epic storytelling.

This is the same reason the trade get upset about our bland building exteriors

Right now we're kind of in a weird sweet spot where millennial women are past their age of prime fertility, but can still be in denial about the future prospect (40 year olds get pregnant too!!! etc)
But barring some crazy/afforable medical advances things are about to get wild
@jessesingal
I'm a teacher, and it wouldn't shock me that much got lost in translation.
But maybe don't teach race essentialism in the first place, because this is not an age group that can approach that with nuance.

In a few years Public High School science labs will be equipped with electron microscopes but still wont be able to educate as well as a private school teacher with a projector and a dry-erase marker

...did some people actually think workplace communications software (administered by the employer) was ever private?
Do they also think their work gmail is private?
@emollick
If my school ever unblocks GPT, it would be trivially easy to create a lesson plan in which students "Interview" historical figures
Instead we will probably pay $10,000 for a company to sell us a plugin sometime in the future

I have never loathed a film as much as that one, despite not being a huge SW fan.
It somehow managed to embody every element of Western cultural decline in a 2 hour runtime while simultaneously putting the torch to a beloved franchise. Rian Johnson is a genius.

The British should compensate the Egyptians for the theft of this treasure....with a lump of granite, which is what the Egyptians were using it as before Europeans found it
