*whispers* and don’t call me Shirley!

The quality of their boners? IT’S COOL. I UNDERSTAND.

OF COURSE I AM NOT SERIOUS. Godddd, no one understands me AT ALL! *slams door, listens to the sex pistols*

Yikes, guys! I feel like I stoked some pretty harsh commentary here. As much as I love to shit on overconfident men, let’s take a tiny step back, perhaps, and not blow up the bus, which is—sure—definitely a siren call to irresponsible/hubristic American hikers, but also a pretty significant monument to our own…

Can we at least fucking respect him for trying to do something noble with his life? For trying to find a different way of doing things? For trying to learn something on his own? Nah...let’s just fucking torch the kid for making a mistake. Do you even fucking know that he donated his last $25, 000 to OXFAM? Do you know…

I’ve maintained this since reading the book in high school:

When I was just a wee one, my dad was a small town country music promoter. He brought the “Porter Waggoner Show” (a television program) to town which was a pretty BFD. They filled the high school gym to the rafters. At the last minute, it was announced that Porter Waggoner was ill, but if the audience was amendable,…

Should you wish to explore more Dolly (and really why wouldn’t you.) Her cover of Stairway to Heaven is absolutely amazing.

Just popped in to give a general plug to her charity, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. It’s a fabulous organization, dedicated to giving books to any child that wants them.

Sorry, I am just LOVING Cersei. Revenge all around (even on her own son, basically) and she looked fucking amazing the entire time. I want to be her when I grow up.

i agree. i student taught with high schoolers, but my career was with preschoolers and toddlers at a montessori school.

yes, i am a former teacher. have you been in the “trenches”, also known as a classroom?

Nope, fuck that. Society is not “survival of the fittest”. Education is not “survival of the fittest”. If American society/education was completely meritorious, you MIGHT have half of a point, but NEVER about children. A society is responsible for their children. If you think some children have to be left behind, than…

A teacher who talks or even thinks this way about students does not have the right disposition for the job. Warning, rant ahead-

That is still no excuse for using the child’s name! My husband is a college professor and has seen some pretty epic papers or things that came up in discussion but he won't use the students names. I also don't think he puts things down in writing.

yes, this breaks my heart and makes me want to immediately go get my teaching position back so i can love and be good to kids.

Many students are shy about asking questions for fear of ‘looking dumb’—a fear engendered by people like yourself.

i’m going to re-post my reply to everyone who think these teachers’ comments are ok:

Honestly you don’t even have to go that in depth. A simple choose a gender choice or button when you make your file with whatever name is enough. Link has always (save for maybe WW) pretty much a blank slate. They themselves have said they want players to feel like they are Link so he never talks. If Link really is…

Also, for much of Skyward Sword, Zelda was going on her own adventures, while we were controlling Link, right? So if they’re really all upset about Link not being active, let him be an off-camera adventurer doing things in the world, while we control adventurer Zelda.
