Tomato soup with barely cooked bell pepper bits.

That’s sad. I can’t tell from your post if you mean he won’t be on top of stuff, or if he won’t try, though.

I tried that for a while, but it just gets too complicated.

A bunch of pieces about how manage the complexities of the basics would be great.

Oh, Utah. The more I hear about that place, the gladder I am that I decided to never live there.

That is so creepy. Why does anyone think that’s OK, much less enough people to get it turned into a tradition?

It’s super irritating when people ignore doctrine so they can abuse authority. It’s like, do they even know what religion they’re in?

For some kids it’s definitely necessary.

Eh. Identity is complicated and I’m willing to let this slide. Vader/Anakin/ThatPerson was Leia and Luke’s father, had a huge impact on the galaxy and on his kids personally, and acknowledging that heritage is important even if it isn’t pretty. Naming the kid Anakin is one way of managing that in a polite way.

I actually kind of liked that sexuality wasn’t a big deal in Star Wars. Yeah, it means that only a few people could be pinpointed as gay...but it also meant that tons of people could and no one cared. Kind of like how there were women all over the place and nobody made a big deal out of it, no racial slurs outside of…

It seems likely that the professor is treating physically naked as the default option, though. Having a vague second-best option that is subtly discouraged but officially available is not cool.

I didn’t conflate ‘many teachers behave badly’ with ‘all perverts are teachers’. That was all you.

Yeah, it’s just into the beta stage. GOG is a great service though, and this isn’t the only option for using it. Games can be downloaded through the browser, a browser download-manager of your choice or their older GOG Downloader, or any of the community made OSS downloaders.

Many professors do use tenure and their position of trust over students to do incredibly creepy things. This kind of behavior has gone on for a long time at all levels of education and needs to stop.

I’m really quite surprised that so many people, on a site full of reports about teachers sexually misusing students, are AOK with it when it’s for ‘art’.

Given how many grown, capable women have difficulty reporting sexual assault, let alone getting their complaints taken seriously, why on earth is is surprising that the student’s support network stepped up?

I cannot believe that I am reading, on Jezebel, people being OK with a professor abusing his position of authority to get his rocks off.

Just hanging out regularly in the yard or letting the pet safely near home can help too. The goal is to get the pet familiar with the smell of the area so they can locate home. Cats can be put into a harness and leash, although it’s not exactly walking like with dogs.

I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. What a horrible circumstance.

Not being able to put reasoning ahead of instincts is one of the definitions of stupid.
