I teach Math full time in a large urban district. This year, I have subbed for English, Engineering, Environmental Science, multiple History courses, Physics, almost every other math class taught at my school, Spec Ed resource bells, and American Government. I subbed because we have no subs, and because I was told to.
I monitored lunchtimes in my classroom because nobody else would, and kids weren't allowed to eat in the cafeteria. If I left my students alone, they raided my (unlockable) cabinets for Devious Licks videos, tore down my posters, flipped desks, and wrote on my walls in Sharpie. When I brought my concerns up to administration, they simply told me to "Deal with it, or eat lunch with them."
If I counted up how many unpaid labor hours I have completed this school year because we simply have no staff, I think I would be owed thousands. If I added all of the masks I have bought for students because my school does not provide them, but still require them, I'd be owed hundreds. If I think about the sheer volume of stolen, broken, or intentionally destroyed school supplies I've had to replace this year, I think about what could have possessed me to work in this field.
And now, our district Superintendent sent out an email praising the "creative solutions" to our 400+ covid-positive teachers out sick this week. She specifically mentioned teachers working through lunch, through our plan bells, and into evenings. She talked about how many bus drivers and cafeteria workers have had to cover this week. To her, this is a positive thing. Unpaid labor, non-licensed educators babysitting high schoolers, these are hailed as "acts of heroism", and we should be excited to see how we manage next week!
I don't want to be a hero. I don't want to work 2 hours of unpaid labor a day. I don't want our school workers to be forced to sub. It's worker exploitation being glorified and repackaged to force us to remain open.
I loved my job, but I don't think I can stay any longer.
What type of soilders will I get if I have 900,000 Heroism? Will there be more S rank soilders in 900,000 or 300,000
Whenever people talk about their lives, about the complexity, and both the suffering, and unnecessary suffering that can come with it, they'll often reach out for help to family and friends, and be met with the rebuttal "I have my own problems".
I can't imagine someone asking Jesus for help and being met with "I have my own problems". Or even a comic book character like Superman saying "I have my own problems" as he FLYS away under his own volition.
So why then is "I have my own problems" coming from a regular joe so readily accepted? If someone asks for help and is met with that answer, and then this person says to someone else "He wouldn't help me because he said he had his own problems" that someone else would probably agree with the answer given, and might in fact echo it.
Is "I have my own problems" an admission of not wanting to be heroic?
For some reason my legacy red talon medic seemingly can't do them anymore.
Is there a way to resolve this? It has happened to me before but I can't recall how i fixed it
What's more worth it? Just want some opinions
AoT is a story that deconstructs heroism and morality frequently, but it is also a story that does portray heroism and takes a stance on morality. It does this primarily through repeated messages surrounding choices and personal sacrifices.
I’d argue this is primarily established early in the Female Titan arc, explored further in Uprising, and come full circle with the Rumbling arc through interactions between Armin, Jean, and Levi.
The three of them play off each other in these arcs to establish one of the ways AoT deconstructs heroism while still having something that is portrayed like heroism.
The Infamous Historia Scene
An easy example to see how Isayama deconstructs morality is through an analysis of the infamous Historia scene with Levi in Uprising (where Levi intimidates Historia when she shuts down in response to hearing the plan to put her on the throne).
One of the things that’s fascinating is that this is portrayed as a flaw of Levi’s, an action that is critiqued by the narrative, but Levi is also framed as the person in the conflict that the narrative goes out of its way to back- both in terms of Levi’s overall character and his reasoning.
For how the action is critiqued, Isayama has multiple characters (Flegel, Jean, Connie, and Sasha) comment on it and say it was wrong; moreover, he goes out of his way to show how uncomfortable Levi’s actions make everyone in the room, “you’re going to far”, etc.
But Levi is the character who is also portrayed as “right” (for lack of a better word) in the end of that conflict. By that I mean:
- Flegel’s comments on Levi are met with a long speech on how Levi is not a bad guy from his father to Flegel, Historia, and Eren that get a callback in Flegel’s arc on why he’s choosing to trust the Survey Corps (that in turn is framed like a victory)
- Jean, Connie, and Sasha’s critiques are met with disagreement from Armin that they should lose faith in Levi/the Survey Corps and the final note of the conversation is Mikasa saying they should trust Levi
- Jean ignoring Levi’s orders doesn’t end well/isn't portrayed as the right call
- Jean ultimately apologizes to Levi for doubting his methods, with panels showing Connie and Sasha clearly reflecting, too
- Historia uses Levi’s speech from this moment as something positive, something to justify her involvement in the fight against Rod’s titan, like it was i

I recall doing a leg sweep attack that swipes the zombie's leg and makes them crawl with the heroism skill. But when I do shift+left click on pc it does not the leg sweep. How do you do the leg sweep?
Say for example, you're Australian, but while you're on a shorter visa in Japan, you do something to save somewhere in the ballpark of 1900+ Japanese people. Should you be given honorary citizenship?
I know honorary citizenship as a concept exists, and is awarded for significant reasons, but is merely "symbolic" although the phrasing doesn't really seem to imply that there's no actual validity to it.
But should it be valid? Should countries be given the option to genuinely grant permanent residence to a person whom they see as a hero?
