I will give money to the Stop This Shit Being Broken fund.

People know nazis are bad. We fought a war about this. The whole world was in on it.

On the one hand, it is absolutely a teacher's role to prevent (in so far as possible) any discrimination.

On the other, the children have the right to decide with whom they associate and for whatever reason they choose.

Not being someone's friend isn't the same as bullying or treating poorly. So conversation should be had, but there's nothing really that a teacher can do.

Us non-North Americans being very...

@tinuviel I mean, you can't currently CTRL SHIFT I your way into a copy of my vulva to override their overpaid false sense of ownership though

Sure you can. It's just called being a better person. That usually works.

@23quarius said in RL things I love:

Someone is trying to make NFT vulvas a thing

Don't straight men do that already? Investing in them without actually owning them but with an assumed claim to ownership and expecting a result regardless?

Louie Anderson.

Jeez, I thought he was already dead for some reason...

@too-old-for-this said in 2022: A New Year, New Dead Celebrities:

@ganymede You say that as if the reason for the change matters. Brain doesn't like change, why is irrelevant.

Cry me a river. A human being is dead.

until Bewitched came out

And I'm going to have the theme tune stuck in my head all day. Thanks.

I had a teacher named Takeela.

I was just like -- your parents did not think that one through.

Did they teach English?

And have you study a book. About mockingbirds that isn't actually about mockingbirds?

I detest that apps like this, with their introduction to Australia, insist on requiring tips. No. Tipping is not a thing here. We pay our serving staff, our bar staff, our cleaners, every one a wage. Comply with our standards or fuck off.

@mr-johnson said in New Project: Cyberpunk:Chrome Is The New Black:

@tinuviel Fairly lose once we actually start the game it's not going to be super strict but in general when it's january 2022 in real life it's january 2022 in game, unless you do backscenes.

That's fair. My only concern with the idea of strict timelines is the age old 'getting everyone together to run a scene that's supposed to be set on the 15th but can't get there on the 15th' kind of deal.

@mr-johnson said in New Project: Cyberpunk:Chrome Is The New Black:

@wizz We're going to be set with a 1:1 time passage so if it's December 31st 2021 in real life then it'll be December 31st 2021 in game. It'll let us go through the intrigue of the Corp War real time and build up to the RED period after the nuke goes off in Arasaka Tower.

When you say 1:1 time passage, do you mean that strictly or more loosey-goosey, once play actually starts?

Good news!

That's a parody site.

@macha said in Dead Celebrities 2021 Edition:

ABC, Yahoo, etc. It's not just TMZ now.

Check their sources though. Everywhere I've seen is just quoting TMZ.

Christ, if it's one thing I hate more than kidney stones it's "X reported today..." if I wanted to know what they fuckin' reported, I'd read their shit. Jeez.

@derp said in Dead Celebrities 2021 Edition:

Yeah, the only source I'm seeing on it is TMZ, and -- do we really trust TMZ? Especially right after she was on People talking about her 100th birthday on the 17th?

Let's give that one a minute.

I'm hoping it's a case of writing obituaries ahead of time and accidentally publishing it.

Betty White

Shit

I'm only seeing one report at present, and it's a very short article. So. It may not be true...

@juniper said in Goofy things one does in down time.:

Bernadette Banner or Rachel Maksy

A+++ right there.

I watched a video for over an hour of a guy fixing a watch. I don't care about watches, or watch repair, or watch history... but this was strangely compelling.

Surprisingly I'm managing quite well, some mild discomfort managed by ibuprofen. But having a small team of dentists (mostly students, because I'm that nice) say "okay, this one's turned surgical, we need the sterilisation team" mid-extraction is haunting.

This is why I always request general anesthesia, if it is permitted.

Alas, I was working with a dental school, as a subject for their students. So the registrar (I think equivalent to a US 'Attending') wanted me awake to check for reactions to potential nerve damage and the like.

Apparently, I was the funniest patient they've had, with such wit as: "It's okay, we're taking a break so you can relax." I am relaxed, you guys are doing all the work and I'm just laying here. And "For a patient this size and build we'd need five cartridges for the local..." Is she calling me fat?
