      @silverfox said in RL Anger:

      Deliberate exclusion IS bullying by every accepted school definition.

      Only to a point. As an example defnition: "Social Exclusion is now recognized as a sub group of bullying. This means that idea of excluding someone repeatedly, aggressively and on purpose with the intent to cause emotional harm to them, is right up there with verbal, physical and cyber bullying." (source)

      That seems miles away from "if you let one kid join an activity you must let any kid join".

      Certainly "you can't play with us because you're (insert protected class here - gender, religion, skin color, etc.)" is problematic. But that's very different from "you can't play with us because last time you kept stealing the ball". Context matters.

      @buttercup I confess that I don't know you. But this I do know. You didn't screw anyone over. You were doing everything right. You were kicking ass and taking names.

      this is just a step back. It's a cha cha, not a permanent backwards move. Things will come together and work out fine.

      I know this may sound cold to suggest (and I do not mean it to be), but maybe set up a gofundme or something similar, to help you get through the immediate rough patch? I know it's not something anyone wants to do, but it could help maybe ease some of the pressure off you, and let you breathe.

      I'm going to my first ever drive-in movie. I'm super excited. I bought a million snacks and got blankets and that's all.

      I'm just bouncing here and squeeing happily before heading out in like half an hour.

      I love them! I go to the one near me all the time. Every year they do a sunset-to-sunrise old-school monster movie marathon where people bring tents and stuff. It’s just the best thing.

      Make Galadriel any race you want, dammit. Just find a great actress and write her to act like Galadriel, not Xena: Warrior Princess.

      Case in point: Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon.
      Best thing about The Batman IMO.

      The short of it is that CK3 is kind of at a point where, if you've played CK2, you feel like you're missing out on a lot of features. The first expansion pack comes out on the 8th, so if the sale goes through that date, it might be worth waiting and see how the launch goes.

      I personally like it, but after a few games I went back to CK2. It's a typical Paradox game; it'll need another year or two to simmer before it's in that stage of dumping hundreds of hours into it. The first flavor pack (Royal gets you the first two I believe) was pretty good, but that's the curse of it, the game'll be really good once they get around to releasing a few more flavor packs.

      So, the migraine meds.. aren't working. I'm so tired and tired of constantly wanting to have my skull crushed to end the pain, that I'm constantly on the edge of emotion.

      Add in some other shitty things, and .. yeah. I need chocolate, and I'm a diabetic. Whee.

      @rightmeow I'm really glad the meds are working for you, subject to tweaking that dosage a bit more. It's an awesome feeling, knowing that you might ACTUALLY DO the thing and not just THINK about doing the thing.

      Hey.

      I don't know if this got lost in the shuffle (shuffle, noise, vitriol), but I never minded the idea of anyone saying, "Hey, this thing is awesome and we want to feature it." I think it's a great community-building idea, and I hope you keep doing it. Even if people disagree, they will know what you think is good.

      The big explosion over ideas was because of the prerequisites.

      That is all.

      @mietze said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:

      My youngest child came home with a pilgrims and Indians themes project in kindergarten this year school year in WA state. Which was horrifying to me on many levels.

      Public school instruction in the US is extremely fractured, not only state by state but district by district and school by school. (My older kids' elementary school would have NEVER done that, and also at the time was the main site for a native american students and families group for the district, and those parents very generously shared resources with the teachers, students, and other families about PacNW history and current culture!!)

      There is such a strange deviation in how we teach people on a state-by-state basis. I spent my pre-teen through high school period on Maui, wherein we did explicitly discuss American colonialism and the annexation's effects on the modern day. That said, we absolutely did not discuss anything in lengthy detail that solely affected the mainland. This made it surprisingly frank, like in US history the teacher said "The Civil War was about slavery," and that was that. When I was in early elementary school, I lived in Georgia in which the textbook used was like "here are the reasons why states' rights are important..." so you can imagine how much unlearning happened in middle & high school there.

      So, I was a bad mom today. I got him chicken nuggets, and then shared my fries.

      He is still not quite himself, but he's a little more my boy, today. If still a bit.. logey? It could be the meds.

      The apology thread has a 50% chance of just turning into a shooting gallery for bitter cunts.
