Fuck up a book for me please
  • It could be a tool used for that discussion. Assign everyone both versions. Then discuss the ways the simplified version falls short of the original (and, because teens rebel, the ways it's better) so that by the time you're done, the kids who struggled to read the original will get more than the easy one could give them (and have really bad errors repaired) while the easy readers will have honed the ability to break down complex concepts. The middle kids will get a bit of both. And there's bound to be examples of the way words change meaning over time.

  • Why are fake laughs added to sitcoms?
  • You made points others didn't, and your edit demonstrates another aspect of the alone/crowd response to a prompt.

    Laughing with a "crowd" supports you until you realize you were alone all the time, whereas thinking you're the only commenter frees you to share your insights, but finding you were part of a crowd made you embarrassed about it. Don't be. We all know being first allows comments to get more points, but more slowly typed comments also add value to the conversation.

  • Fluff pile
  • You can't just post something like this without making sure they're okay! Like either they're being adopted or at least their mother is coming right back to take care of them, and is getting plenty to eat! And someone is going to see they all get spayed/neutered, including mom!

  • Supreme Court allows cities to ban homeless people sleeping outside, even when shelter space is lacking
  • True, but also the consequences of living homeless in New England would force you to either come up with some kind of way to afford shelter or move south. Whereas more homeless people die on the streets in California than you might expect, but the perception is that you can live outdoors safely all year. So there's less incentive to scrape together enough money for a home.

    Add to that, very few people move to New England with a crazy idealistic view of their opportunities to make it big. If they move there at all, it's because they have a job lined up. Dreamers crash and burn in California every day.

  • Religious leader wants to display Indian scriptures in Louisiana public classrooms
  • Okay, for those who only read the headline and not the article, the text is the Bhagavad Gita.

    So, not poster-sized. More like adding a Bible to the library. I think you're going to run into a tldr problem there. I don't know the Gita, is there a shorter excerpt that could be on a poster?

  • That erratic pulsating sensation on your legs after a brisk walk- what is it? And more questions
  • It's just the spiders under your skin.

    But maybe it's the nerves or capillaries that run through the layers of fat and skin, as walking shakes them up and gets the blood pulsing through. Even in fit people the skin shakes a little as it slides back and forth over the moving muscles. Once you get into a serious workout, there's too much other sensation from the muscles and tendons, and the blood vessels are as busy and hopefully open as they're going to get.

    Bear in mind I have no actual idea, just speculating.

  • Rock Eagle Flag
  • Obviously society is broken, and guns are doing a lot of the breaking. The people teaching these classes agree about that as well. But they're not in a position to fix that. They're trying to use the skills they have to mitigate one part of the fuckedness. Maybe two parts: a kindergartner could perhaps save their friend's life one day, and in the meantime they're already having justified nightmares about shootings, so maybe the lesson will let them turn those dreamstories in a slightly better direction.

  • I just hit Cancel by accident AGAIN.

    My muscle memory is having a stupidly hard time shifting from Reddit to Lemmy, so I keep typing out comments I've put careful thought into, and at the last minute hitting the Cancel button!

    How do I go back to being myself?

    Ever since LemmyWorld went down in the hacking, I haven't been able to log in using the account I created there. I do the login thing, and the little pop-up says "Logged In" but I'm not. I can't see my Subscribed feed, I can't comment or post. And I couldn't ask this question! I also couldn't start fresh because I only have one email, and it knew that. So I came over to shitjustworks which graciously allowed me to create this profile without an email address. I guess it's okay, I can work on resubscribing to stuff under this name, neither one is my old Reddit name anyway, but I would prefer going back to my other account or at least knowing what happened...? In case it happens again?
