adults are always talking about how “kids will do anything to get out of school” and okay, first of all that’s not true, but I think we really need to ask why that idea holds so much sway.
children’s brains are hard-wired to take in new information and acquire new skills. consider, for a moment, just how thoroughly our society had to fuck up the concept of education for it to be a normal thing to assume kids are universally desperate to avoid learning.

Being sick for one week, and then immediately being sick again the next week but with a different issue is bullshit. I already had to deal with calling in sick, why couldn't I have gotten a 2 for 1 deal on this and only done it the once?

the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right

i hate it when game devs put “fixed several issues” in patch notesÂ
no. tell me what you fixed. i wanna know what the glitch was.
you know those patch notes that are like “fixed an issue where if the player sat in a bush for too long, they’d become the size of a skyscraper”Â
i wanna read those. tell me those.Â

Jaller: That's it, I'm going to take this seriously and be a level-headed Fire Toa leader. The disaster of a legacy Vakama and Tahu have started ends with me.
Nuparu: you should put your rocket launcher on a leashed crab
Hewkii: you should allow me to go completely topless into battle
Hahli: you should let me eat a carcass raw in front of our enemies to establish dominance
Kongu: you should give me permission to dual wield hewkii and matoro like flails in case i lose my guns
Matoro: wield me like a what
Jaller: you guys are tactical GENIUSES lets fucking GO
now that's just a post all on its own! I hope that Jaller does reach a point where he's able to just let his siblings run wild and doesn't have to stress about whether he's being a good leader or not

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns
