So this is where House Redoran goes for their decorations.

True, armor is a lot harder to clean and get off, though.
One may even say he is a melancholy camper…
Knights shat in their armor… Also, the odds of being landed nobility or their enforcement class are super slim. The past sucked and was even more full of parasites and disease. Definitely a no for me, dog.
Basically the same goes for WH40k and I’d rather not have to get shot at by aliens anyway, so I’m fine with my current prospects lol
It’s tough. A lot of kids use it to goof off or vape/do drugs in the bathroom. Even in middle school.
There are definitely kids you can trust, but many at least abuse it to goof off.
Edit: Forgot to state, US.
Yeah, lemme just make sure nobody shitty moves next to me really quick. I can certainly afford to be picky about where I live in the current and future housing market, too.

Edit: whoosh for me
Yep, that tracks.
I’m really big on Halloween. I decorate the interior of my classroom and my house (sometimes a little outside of my house like cobwebs over the gate and fencing and a tombstone or three, but we had painters working this year, so that stuff stayed in the garage).
My partner decorates hardcore for Christmas/Yuletide, but it’s all very secular and interior with just a wreath outside on our door, so it’s nice to not have to put up lights lol.
I don’t do any other holidays, tbh. My grandmother gave us so much stuff for Easter and 4th of July, but we don’t celebrate either.
We decorate for seasons, generally, and have like spring/summer/fall/winter decor, but that’s mainly just swapping out pillows on the couch and little flower arrangements or a few knick nacks. Some of the Easter stuff was useful for our spring decorations, and, thankfully, my aunt ended up snagging a bunch of the other Easter stuff because she has fond memories of those decorations when she was a child.
A lot of the other stuff that wasn’t trash worthy (most of the chintzy 4th of July stuff) was scooped up by others in a garage sale, so it was nice to see some other people enjoy those things.
My grandma has always loved setting up garage sales and she was super sweet to everyone who showed interest or bought her old decorations. It was really nice for her to see these keepsakes go to a new home and know that they were valued.
She’s mellowed a lot in the last ten or so years and I was a little surprised with how gung ho she was about throwing the cheaper stuff away lol she was acting like the amazing hostess she has always been and saying things like “This is my last garage sale, so only the nice things make it to the tables for sale!”
I know that’s kind of a tangent, but I really have enjoyed helping her downsize and move into a smaller space near my parents, and thought this story would probably apply to a lot of others’ experiences with family decorations and memories.
Edit: It was also pretty cute how my grandma was giving things away to people who really liked things. She’s always done this, but this time seemed a little more special and personal for her. She had so much stuff that she made a decent amount on the furniture anyway, but that was definitely not the goal for any of us lol.
I don’t like the Socratic method as it is employed in classrooms. I think the method of questioning is fine, and dissecting a subject can be fun with the right group and foreknowledge, but most instructors absolutely suck at making sure all students are up to speed with whatever is being discussed.
I don’t see its value as a teaching tool without a strong enough instructor to prepare the students for its use and to guide the discussions in a productive manner.
Every professor I’ve ever had who used this method basically wasted class time with fill in the blank response questions. These are not higher order thinking discussions and do nothing to actually broaden understanding of whichever subject is being discussed. It seems like a cop out for the professor to me, at least how I’ve seen it used in multiple major universities.
I’ve had better Socratic discussions while high as fuck with my buddies after class than when we were actually in the lecture hall.
