@Derp

Objection, your Honor: opposing counsel is making me look stupid with facts.

If the text entry cursor thing (also called a caret, apparently) is flashing, I assume the text I enter will be on that flashing thing. IF YOU ARE NOT THE SELECTED WINDOW, DON'T DO THE FLASHY TEXT ENTRY THING.

@Lotherio I have to agree with @Pandora here. If I publicly end a conversation - of any type - and leave the channel, it's probably not the time for some random person to approach me privately about it.

@Rinel Man, I have had variants of that conversation...

@Ganymede said in What game system would you prefer for a big-tent nWoD project?:

Wes struck a deal with the Invictus.

This is the first problem in this plan.

@Arkandel said in Random links:

Agincourt was staged!

I think I strained my eyes from rolling so hard.

@BlondeBot Keep it constructive.

@silverfox said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

Like, you can tell the difference between a kid that needs a hug and a moment of down-time from a kiddo who is HONESTLY SICK. It's possible.

Unfortunately, it is rare for such a skill to filter through to the school administration...

@mietze said in Model Policies?:

Is there any reason to have an ooc room where people can "talk out loud?"

People like them.

@Auspice Oh, that. It's inaccurate, but mildly amusing.

@JinShei said in The Savage Skies - Discussion Thread:

I came out entirely horrified and ashamed to be British.

Almost every people has done horrid things to others. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be horrified of, and honest about, our past but let it not colour your own self-opinion. Don't find fault where there is none.

@Ghost said in The Work Thread:

It would be like getting Stalin-appointed to coach the Miami Dolphins.

I'm not sure what the problem is.

The problem is that I don't know a thing about sportsball.

@Kestrel said in The Savage Skies - Discussion Thread:

And I think, personally, it's good for people to let go of national pride, at least in the sense where it becomes tribal and creates a feeling of righteousness in viewing their nation against the world, or sees their history and culture as superior to others.

Agreed. Actual patriotism is far better than nationalism.

Perhaps as a result of my upbringing or my choice of career interests, I've never had much time for people that espouse shame for actions done before they were born. Usually, in my experience (with Australia in particular) this is little more than a platitude. Not that I'm accusing @JinShei of such, especially to have such a thing suddenly revealed would be a cause for great emotion, I'm speaking more generally.

There was a big to-do a few years ago, the Prime Minister publicly apologised to the Aboriginal people for doing all of the things one would expect from an imperialistic invasion and subsequent colonialism. But then... nothing changed. No great steps taken to ensure higher Aboriginal employment, no public school education of Aboriginal culture, nothing.

I'd much rather people take responsibility for the actions of today rather than some platitudinous attempt at blame-taking for the past.

@surreality You're the one being the dick here, Surr. Ark made a mild, jocular comment, you started screeching like a harridan.

Sepia. Everyone likes sepia.

@RightMeow Anything that is mandatory should be complementary.

@sg Open immigration, universal healthcare, disarming the police force...

Well since we've turned this into the teacher thread, for the moment... I need to be more organised. I set year long assignments for a few of my classes at the beginning of the year. Now I have to grade them all in a week to get the reports done in time because I'm an idiot.

@arkandel Except you're not hiring someone. You're contracting someone. It's a subtle difference that I'm sure more experienced folks could explain better.

@Lisse24 But how will I know I'm doing well if I'm not constantly panicked and losing hair?!?!

That was a joke.
