I've heard a lot of people, and especially today, talk lackadaisically and even with joy at the prospect of Chauvin getting raped in prison as a consequence. I hold no love for Chauvin and I'm glad to see him convicted, but I find it alarming how many people normalize and even wish for it to happen to a convict. My comment isn't specific to today's events, but I hear this all the time. Is it actually just accepted among the American conscious that incarcerated people should be repeatedly sexually assaulted as part of their punishment? Doesn't this clearly constitute a cruel and unusual punishment? Why do we normalize this as an expectation of being incarcerated? What's perhaps more disturbing is that almost everyone knows this happens and just accepts it as a fact of life. It's really not acceptable or permissible and we should stop normalizing it.

Edit: To all the people who have been assaulted, I hope you found justice and I understand that you would want your perpetrator to feel the same level of violation, humiliation and trauma you did. To all the other people who are advocating rape for rapists, take a step back and ask yourself if you really think the best solution to rape is more rape.

Okay, so I should have read the rules more carefully, but I'm a pretty loose DM. And when our 150 HP barbarian realized they would only take 20D6 fall damage--halved--they immediately stopped trying to fight down the webs in the middle of the epic battle I created and just jumped off the 200 foot cliff. This is now their signature move--to fall off of things. Get on the back of a roc and jump off midflight? Ignore the stairs in the castle tower during a dinner party? Sure! The wizard has feather fall, but the barbarian has made it clear she wants no part of it.

I hate it in terms of game balance, but it's completely worth it for the flavor it adds to the party. Oh, and the barbarian sets herself on fire during combat to keep the rage going, so she's basically a half-orc shooting star now.

Just don't ask me about the cleric's stone shape shenanigans...

Why do so many people enjoy watching bad people suffer? I know it's natural to want to hurt someone who hurt you, but I've never understood why so many people sit on the sidelines and actively cheer it on. A lot of times the thing that happens to the person in "instant karma" type videos is worse than what they did, and everyone thinks it's funny because "they deserve it." But how does making a bad person suffer help anyone? What good does it accomplish?

 

Here's a random example: a few months ago, my friends and I found a (probably fake) video of two women on a plane. The woman in the front seat kept purposely flipping her hair in front of the TV screen of the woman in the back seat. So the woman in the back seat responded by putting gum and coffee in her hair while she wasn't looking. All my friends agreed that the woman in the back seat was in the right. I don't see how. What she did was waaaay worse; she caused permanent damage to the other woman's hair just because she wanted to be petty. When I watched it I thought about how the woman who had her hair destroyed would realize it a few minutes later and probably panic or cry, and I felt really bad for her. I don't know if I'm just weird but I don't know anyone who feels the way I do about that sort of thing.

 

Another example I see a lot is when people on social media bully someone who made an offensive joke. They'll say completely horrible things, insult their appearance, threaten them, etc but it's all completely fine because the person did something they didn't like. Sometimes I think people are just looking for an excuse to be mean, because I don't know how else someone could justify that.

Skimming the subreddit and hanging out on the Discord, I continue to hear the doom and gloom of everyone who feels they are not being rewarded frequently enough. This may be a little harsh but, I think it needs to be said.

First off, idk if it’s jealousy of recent adopters hearing of the HODL OG miners have or if they have been spoiled with return of investment on other crypto projects but, a return of investment in the real world of 2-3 years would would be considered good, 1 year would be amazing, 6 months would be unimaginable, 3 months a thing of fairytales. Being salty that you haven’t gotten your investment returned to you in 8 weeks is flatly, dumb. If you NEED that money back, than you over extended yourself and should reevaluate your investing habits. 1 block is all many of you need to break even and you sit here complaining that your 500-1000 plots haven’t won for you yet. For everyone who should have won but hasn’t yet there is someone out there who has won 2x what they should have won. I’m sorry it’s not you, but it’s just statistics.

I feel this post has become semi-necessary with all the posts saying “I’m turning to HPOOL, etc”. I see a lot of people saying that there is really nothing bad with them, that it’s not a great solution but it will work. And I think many over look A LOT of things.

1. HPOOL is a detriment to the overall network and its long-term success. Chia has high aspirations to be the soul toon to decentralized finance. To do that though, the stakeholders have to trust that their financials will be as secure if not more secure, than with their current solution. Even if you know little about block chains, you’ve probably heard of 51% attacks and the stakeholders have as well and all they know is that’s really bad and any entity that controls a large percentage of network is a risk to 51% attack and that’s scary. Even if years down the line, things balance out, how do you think it will look to people looking to move billions or trillions in assets to a block chain that at one time, had a shady Chinese pool control 35, 40, 45% of the network? It at the very least raises the question of if that could happen again.

2. You are directly hurting yourself. Not only does HPOOL charge a ridiculously high fee of 20%, it is well known that there is ways to scam them and be paid shares for your capacity while pocketing a block if you win it. Also, there is no good way to know how they are even calculating capacity of individual miners t

I'm a teacher (33f) and knew I wanted to be a teacher since I was in 5th grade. If only I knew how students would be by the time I got my degree I think I may have chosen a different profession.

Yes, there are great things about being a teacher. Yet with social media and lack of accountability, I spend most of my days working with children that feel entitled to something they did not earn, receive no consequences to their actions, and refuse to work without constant praise.

I can't count how many times I have told a parent what their child has done at school and I get lectured and dismissed with "my child would never do that". Lockdown has shown at least some understanding parents that their child does in fact behave that way. For the majority, they continue to view me as simply a glorified babysitter.

Districts are so worried about attendance because they receive money per student that attends, that they are quick to not suspend or discipline students for their actions. I have been hit, kicked, spit on, bit, verbally assaulted, stabbed, and have had 6 concussions since becoming a teacher. Kids have stolen from me, destroyed my classroom, and broken my personal belongings. Yet parents are so quick to ask "what did you do to provoke my child" instead of holding their kid responsible. When I was in school I would have never imagined behaving this way and knew for a fact that if my teacher told my parent I did this I would get in trouble.

Teachers are under appreciated, over worked, and under paid. This is why so many choose to quit. You would think after years of college, credentialing, professional development, training, and thousands of dollars for schooling, that with the amount of teachers that choose to quit there may be something wrong with the system.
