Same here. One of the instructions was "write your name on the board." Hardcore shaming.

Psst, it's "err", not "air". Pronounced the same.

Pumpkin spice old fashioned. With real pumpkin puree!

I heard on a podcast a long time ago that the Army considered it one of their most successful recruiting tools. Not because it brought in more recruits, but because fewer recruits dropped out, apparently because playing the game led to fewer surprises after joining.

Seems as good a reason as any to post this.

Good luck getting it out of your head, by the way.

My favorite/least favorite instance of this kind of oh-so-subtle dysphemism is when CNN (I think) ran a piece about some marketing suit's complaint that millennials are "brand promiscuous", for basically the same reason as we're seeing with these streaming services applied to other products. This sort of thing is what led to r/DeathByMillennial.

It's been giving me semantic satiation for a while now.

After leaving it in my backlog for close to a decade, I finally started playing Fallout 3. Yeah. On a technical level it's mostly fine, save for some shocking framerate dips and the way it sometimes repeats my movement inputs. Other than that, it's a pretty good game, particularly for loot whores like myself.

we sort of see a 20 percent uplift on the value of that customer because you're locking that person, committing to a longer-term relationship.

Do these people never listen to themselves? Who the hell wants to be "locked"?

Yes, we all do, and most of us outgrow it.

All to make their job easier, lol.

Not a teacher, but what I keep reading is that they're trying not to get pilloried by students' screaming MAGA parents.
