Topic | If a white kid is reading Huck Finn in class should they not say the N-word? |
Medussa 07/01/18 4:21:52 PM #37 | nope. I was the one trying to tune out the other kids because I was four pages ahead already. I do have some serious social anxiety, though it wasn't too bad so long as I didn't have to see being seen. If anything, I sucked at reading aloud because I talked too fast trying to get through it. but please, everyone, keep trying to belittle me for not wanting to listen to your racist asses salivating over getting kids to slur in public without consequences. groom the next generation by any means, right guys? --- Boom!

Found the people so used to being admonished for insensitive racial comments that they just assume all race-related discussion is taboo shut the fuck up. I don't use slurs because they are unconscionable. I don't care if I'm just reading someone else's words, they are never appropriate. --- Boom! That's right, this is all happening!

Medussa 07/01/18 3:44:42 PM #2 | any teacher who has kids read a book like that aloud is an idiot, and is only asking for trouble. edit: actually, reading aloud in class is fucking idiotic, full godsdamned stop. the good kids can read faster to themselves and are held back. the bad kids get exposed, which, while it could lead to help from the teacher, can also just lead to them losing any hope of interest in getting better. There is just not enough good to be had from it. imo, it's just lazy teaching. busywork designed only to fill time. --- Boom! That's right, this is all happening! You cannot change the channel now!

Medussa 07/01/18 2:55:19 PM #3 | Supreme Commander. bought it before I had a computer that could play it, with the intent to upgrade soon. lost my job, didn't work for years due to depression. didn't get around to that upgrade until I had lost the damn game. The Myst sequels after #2, which I will finally get to due to the recent kickstarter remakes. I've played the first two as a teen, can't wait to actually play them again as an adult.

I like how you completely dodged my point and basically admitted you have no counter argument to it well, that's not exactly true. the chemical imbalance fucking sucks (for a lot of people. it's not universal, though).

Medussa 06/28/18 6:36:49 PM #7 | a government set up like the pre-civil war United States (where the states had a lot more control, and the federal government a lot less) is the best way to make something like this work. keep the basics with the feds (human rights, mostly), and mandate open movement between states. but otherwise, leave the details to the states. --- Boom!

The new phrase introduces a meaning that is different from the original but plausible in the same context, such as "old-timers' disease" for "Alzheimer's disease". An eggcorn can be described as an intra-lingual phono-semantic matching, a matching in which the intended word and substitute are from the same language. ugh. of course. --- Boom!
