I kind of resent the implication that we don't teach those facts in school. I cover a number of those details in my Kongo Kingdom unit every year. Slavery is not an easy subject to teach about. In the US, it is much easier for students to identify with plantations and racially segregated slavery because it is more recent, it is more local, and it still resonates in the civil rights struggles of the last decades. Students also learn about ancient and medieval societies in 6th and 7th grade (11-13 years old.) In High School, the focus is on more modern eras of history. It is no surprise that most students forget the details of their middle school classes. Content is a just a tool for skill development. The hope is that a former student has the critical thinking skills to process a video like this.

The Uyghurs might disagree with y'all letting China off so easy. Also if we want to go back in history to colonial times, we can talk about foot binding and eunuchs too.

Hah, I had no idea what you were talking at first. Weird that there were so many Christopher Pike Star Trek Captains, but a guy with one letter difference ends up playing Kirk. Anyways, I enjoy Chris Pine.

Christopher Pike is very capable of hamming it up, so I have some confidence in the D&D movie. Plus I think I saw Hugh Grant in there for a moment.

That is economically true.

I'm not quite sure how this all affects people playing their own single player maps. I haven't touched any of the official servers in ages, so I'm not sure if I understand how the passes and rotating bazaar actually affect me. Also, if I make my base with some stuff and the store rotates, what happens to my base? I don't know. They whole thing seems weird and geared towards multiplayer folks. I just want to build and explore alone while my thralls stand around looking scary.

We were at the beach about to swim when this happened to this guy. Crazy.

I did not include parents in my "young person and their medical and mental health professionals" for a reason. No kids should actually need parental consent if they want to talk to a mental health professional. It should be available to them freely and privately.

My students always ask questions like this when I am teaching about all the world religions. My answer is usually a pithy "I'm not dead yet."

The last line of Bruce's quote is the important one: it is a process that involves work with a medical team and a mental health professional. We don't need to have a say in this. It is between the young person and medical professionals. All we need to do is be tolerant. Puberty can be pretty rough even without transitional questions, so we should all be able to empathize.

Are we ourselves when we dream?

Bruce and CRT.

I think I've reached a point where IPA's are no longer good for me. I mean, I think I've known this for awhile, but I just spent a week in Vegas drinking mixed drinks and didn't have amy of the stomach issues I typically have. I know IPA's are gut bombs, but I still tend to drink a few a week with friends or with dinner. So if they are off the menu, I gotta decide what type of booze hound I will become. Bourbon? Rum? Tequila?

Is that the girl from Starship Troopers?

People don't like change, even if it is at the expense of progress. Maybe it's an Amish thing?

Electric and hydrogen.

Petrol cars suck, though.

It probably works better in black and white, but I don't get it. Is it supposed to be making fun of The Munsters?

Just got back from 4 days in Vegas. We stayed at The Circa in downtown. It was fancy drinks, good food, and some very warm workouts.This one was called Paint the Town Red: One of the highlights was swimming at the UNLV pool. You can get a guest pass for $10, and it is a super nice campus and facility to check out: I peed on the Berlin Wall at Main Street Casino: My wife really wanted to make the run down to the Vegas signs near Stratosphere one morning, but it was about 97 degrees by 7 AM, so she was struggling. It is about 2 miles there and 2 miles back, but in the heat it can be a real grind. Heat doesn't seem to bother me as much. There is a beautiful memorial in the Arts district to the people who died in the 2017 shooting. I always like to swing by Oscar's steakhouse and order these meatballs. They remind me of my Italian grandmother. Art: It was a great trip. Now back to real life!

I started playing Sea of Thieves with my son. He's much better at it than I am. Basically I get to steer the ship while he runs around doing the important stuff. It's a strange game.

It will be interesting if they manage to incorporate the satirical nature of the original Robocop. At first it looked like a pretty bland shoot 'em up, but the CEO stuff was spot on. Considering Spec Ops: The Line is the only shooter I've bothered with in the last couple decades, I'm slightly intrigued if they can make it more than a murder simulator. Cheesy satire at its finest.

It was a lot easier to adjust finances in my 20's than it is in my 40's while supporting a household with kids and a wife. For example, skipping a season of hockey for myself as an adult is fine, but it is a lot harder to tell my kids you can't play because we don't have the money. I'll be managing debt until they are grown up, most likely.

Today's day and age is way less censored, so I'm not sure what you mean. Steam is loaded with explicit games.

Is it Judge Dredd? He is in WH40k, right?

I did the same about a year ago and have yet to play it. *fistbump*👊
