Starting to feel a little time-warpy jumping back and forth.
I kinda know the feeling, but mostly just responding to quotes- can't really join in any "Reindeer games".

Also, Guinness was at the brink of death already. He found like he was 90 in his fight scene.
My point. Not saying he wasn't good (although he admitted in interviews he had no idea what he was doing OR what the movie was really about). I get that you need a wizened old sage-type character for the role, but what if they had cast someone younger- that lightsaber duel might have been a little more exciting. It looked like when 2 little kids find big sticks in the back yard.
Well, you said "can't read, can't spell, can't write in cursive" Which are all things that we learned, yes. But are pretty fucking useless if you have a cell phone or computer.
Also, "core math" is confusing and weird to us, but that's because we the learned the old way. Tell me you don't know tons of dipshits who can't do 'old math' or 'new math'
Yes, I think participation trophies are fucking stupid. But the kids who receive them didn't come up with that idea! The older generation did!
Well, the reading and spelling thing CAN present issues even with a computer. I'm sure you've seen those FB posts...
"Core math" adds visualization to something that we didn't need. My point is why couldn't they just learn the same way.
When did being educated become a bad thing?
I still love giving a cashier OVER the amount so that I don't get back coins and watch their little brains start melting.
Story Time:
My buddy had a hard time getting his daughter to study and her grades were less than mediocre. She wouldn't listen to him when he tried to help her- because that's not how she was being taught. Same Lessons. Same Knowledge. Different Method.
I offer to tutor her- she gives me an essay or report on fucking something.
I break out the red pen and correct it. She's visibly upset and asks why I did it.
I said you misspelled words, there's no punctuation, no capitalization, no paragraphs, the wrong tenses of verbs, run-on sentences, incomplete sentences, and it just reads bloody awful- like you half paid attention to the lesson or book.
To which she replies, "Oh, the teacher doesn't care about any of that." It WAS an ENGLISH CLASS!
We move on to Maths (why, I don't know, maybe I'm paying for the sins of a past life...)
Just as atrocious as the English lesson- all these bubbles drawn all over the damn place AND the answers were still wrong.
This time she says, "The teacher doesn't care if we're right, just that we're 'close' to the right answer."
So I asked her one simple question. "Okay [Redacted], Lets say it's my job to figure out your paycheck at the end of the week, for all the long, hard hours that you've put into your job- Do you want me to be accurate or "close".
She just stared at me like a deer in fuckin' headlights...
Be careful where you set that "old-ometer"- we know which generation started participation trophies AND the entitled little shits that it's created. Y'know, you've seen them in the game threads.
Gramps is a real bitter fuckface. He did that because he quit working for gramps and moved away.
He's just being petty and small. I'm sure you know the type, "I'm paying for your schooling, so you have to do what I tell you from now on"
But it sounds like he did everything that your Gramps wanted right?
Wasn't he going to pay for school IF your nephew went there and passed the test?
If so, he totally reneged on the deal.
What a fuckin' prick.
It was good. Nothing that's ground-breaking, but we play it for the humor. Humor it has, and in the Rick & Morty style.
Kind of like "Conker's Bad Fur Day" or "Boogerman"?
I think you have to try a few!
I'm starting to get confused now, honestly.

I'm not one to victim blame, but Mono and Kuro were asking for it.
With their dirty, slutty, mockable names?
No, she went to a Locks of Love person to find out which place would do the cutting. (Salons and hairdressers that help the charity)
The charity lady told her not to donate it, but to sell it.
The guy she sold it to makes wigs. Both for his job and also as donations to the charity (I'd bet he gets a tax break for donating labor)
In exchange for the referral of cousin's good hair, he donates wigs to Locks of Love.
But, her hair was going to be used for his own profit. (or skin suit)
I should add that she was locally famous where she is from. That might be why she got so much, too. (I'm not sure fame increases hair prices)
I'm not going to say how she was famous, but someone made a statue of her.
Again, IF she's "lock-blocked" by someone working for the charity- it seems like a conflict of interest.
Yeah, it sounds like some "Buffalo Bill" shit.
Also, he must've know who she was?
Maybe he glued the hair to a blow-up doll?
I believe the AFLAC price for a kidney was about $50K time I checked
Well, shit. IT'S time to get paid.
