A roleplayer frustrated at the structure of our society. She/her.
@Shkshkshk @grasshopper_mouse As far as my own media childhood goes:
Play some of Square/Squaresoft’s various JRPGs from before the Square Enix merger.
Watch some awesome cartoons that got tragically cancelled before they could finish. (ABC’s “SatAM” Sonic the Hedgehog, Pirates of Dark Water… technically Thundercats 2011 is too late for my childhood, but it’s the same idea).
That’ll give you a good summary.
@Shkshkshk @196 Suffice it to say that I suffered through over a decade of “bad classroom management”, a lot of which went above and beyond mere attempts at containing screaming and crying… and meanwhile, the “teasers” (the teachers insisted that the verbal bullying be called “teasing”) got away scot-free.
I ultimately dropped out of school because of the way the teachers treated me, even two years after they actually finally decided putting the bullies on notice was a worthwhile step.
@Shkshkshk @196 Do you also have an excuse for why the bullying victim gets punished by teachers instead of the bully?
@Shkshkshk @196 Do you have means by which to report potential bullies? Because I can only imagine a bully thinking this way.
@Shkshkshk @196 …If you do that to my old laptop specifically, will that make it less flaky, or is its tendency to freeze these days a hardware problem? 😜
@[email protected] Last I knew, my roommate who ran a homebrew server was frustrated that they can’t run an email server because outgoing email was assumed to be spam anyway. It would be nice if there were an actual way out of this!
