@MrMordicai It’s also out of character for her. We are supposed to be having an epic duel to the death with a skilled warrior, why in the fuck is she floating out of reach while throwing shit at us?
Even ring throwing Shakra stays her ground more
@AnotherJooby how many tries is it taking you nowadays? I imagine you are first trying it most days, but I’d be interested to know how your consistency has evolved over the course of this challenge.
I thought it might helpful for some of you to read what Morrison said about difficulty and her own aims as a writer. First, some context: her master's thesis at Cornell in the fifties was on the (not yet canonical) high modernists Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner. Thread/1
@cobble_stone05@MapuTV@ReviveSC2 I think they mean they are not going to try and persuade him to do it, or even hold it against him. Subtle difference, but I think the phrasing makes sense.
Hola amiga, ¿cómo estás? Tú a mí no me conoces pero yo a ti sí. Te escribo porque por aquí anda tu novio diciendo “que las dictaduras latinoamericanas son un invento de los comunistas” y que “las cifras de desaparecidos no son ciertas”, por respeto a tu relación creo que deberías saberlo, porque como mujer, si me pasara a mí me gustaría que me lo dijeran. Cuídate, él no te merece.
@namwalien My main worry is that they don't care. And as long as they don't care they'll keep finding ways to cheat themselves out of learning the skills philosophy could teach them.
It's great when they naturally care, but I think part of my job is to make all students care.
@namwalien Oh, got it. Thanks!
I teach high school philosophy and the AI paranoia I get when reading my students' work is exhausting. I can't express how warm it feels when I read work that is *clearly* made by a human.
This man is proposing to do with the sum total of published human knowledge what capitalism does with everything: steal it and then build enclosures around it for profit.
@polypocketknife I think it's also about leaving something to his family that both helps him launder money, and it's also a legit business that can sustain them in the long run.
