Hey remember when the xbox game pass used to be actually good

"Game Pass subscribers will get a number of free cloud gaming hours every month: Game Pass Ultimate (at $23 a month) gets you 15 hours, Game Pass Premium ($15 a month) 10 hours, and Game Pass Essential ($10 a month) 5 hours. Extra hours need to be purchased." The fuck gizmodo.com/microsoft-an...

the way I had to pause and go "Shit, I actually DID need math" when our D&D group was figuring out if the spellcaster was in range of the flying BBEG who was 40 feet up and 20 feet away

This is ragebait so not directly quoting it, but the question misses the point: studying those topics trains you to THINK, which ia something EVERYONE needs to know regardless if you use those specific skills.

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

One metal magazine of the 90s actually coined the phrase "Hetfield Effect" to describe the tendency of rockers to switch from "anti-war / anti-establishment" to "patriotic / conservative" pretty much the second they passed draft age

Someday, these guys will realize how much of a pussy these types of statements make them look

I was 7. No one came to my birthday party (class invites, just girls) and I didn't understand it, so I asked a girl in my class when we came back from break and the look she gave me was everything. I started spending recess in the library and "writing spells" on tiny scraps of paper in fake Latin.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

This thread. It is SO SO SO important to read to kids. Growing minds need to be read to. Storytime at the library. Bedtime stories. Reading aloud in classes. Person to person interactions with forming brains.

Do we really need to explain to people that it is really, REALLY important to read to young children? Like, you, personally, need to read to your child - your voice, your face, your hand gestures, your lap, your arms, your closeness. What kind of parent doesn't know this in their bones?

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

God, grant me the courage to change the things I can and incredible new powers to change the things I can't.
