If I don’t have them, how will I feed my new worm farm?

Yeah. I get why it’s done but it’s also frustrating especially in these instances where it cuts off the resolution of a storyline.

This also got me thinking about how when I was a kid there was pervasive joking about the “Hooked on Phonics” commercials (which were really silly) and I wonder how much some school officials or teachers are rejecting phonics because of a bad commercial from 30 years ago.

A related thing that comes to my mind from when I was in school was Myers Briggs. MBTI is a fucking Buzzfeed Quiz. There’s little support for it and yet I remember it being something that came up many times and kids taking onto themselves the identities it assigned (which is very fucked up).

If we want a system that will actually help kids learn fundamental skills, skills that when people are empowered by them improve our society and culture, we need to discourage holding to systems and promoting tools/ideas that demonstrably faulty.

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

Much as I enjoyed Secret Wars I was frustrated with the way it cut short some book like this that I was enjoying and that didn’t seem to get a proper resolution. The Magneto book at the time also comes to mind.

That some are complaining that the conclusion of the last Craig Bond film makes it hard for them to make another one speaks more to a lack of creativity of the moment (in studios/large media companies anyway)

Every era of Bond was reflective of the times, that’s one of the things that’s useful about him.
Connery is peak Cold War
Moore is 60s aftermath
Dalton is 80s sociopath
Brosnan is 90s’ 60s Nostalgia Undermining Progress
Craig is 00s-10s Half-Assed Deconstructionism

Is that not how everyone pictures them?

This is a vital concern. This is what the fans need. And DC needs to give it to us.
