  • The irony is, if she had gotten a 35% that would have been the end of it. This whole thing blew up because she got a 0. That’s why I feel like 0’s should never be given on an assignment unless literally nothing was turned in. A 0 comes off as personal; even in cases like this where the person absolutely deserves to fail, it casts doubt on the impartiality of the grader.

    But giving a 35%? Well that’s different. That’s acknowledging the person attempted the assignment, they just did a pathetically shit job at it. In some ways, it’s more humiliating than a 0, because the grader at least tried to give you some credit, but is still highlighting how fucking stupid you are.






  • I’m not sure it was a lie, it’s the kind of thing that’s so minor it’s easy for someone on the marketing team to just not know about.

    It’s like if a snack company put out a message saying they used no animal products and then later found out that a derivative of beeswax was used to lubricate some of the mechanisms in their packing machine.

    If you want to be absolutely inflexible and refuse to allow any exceptions to the rules, no matter the circumstances, that’s fine. But you’ve gotta recognize the irony in that line of reasoning being more machine-like than human.



  • It’s not really an infection, but compartment syndrome is something that can happen in legs after an injury. Basically internal swelling of the muscles which starts to damage tissue once the pressure gets too high. It causes severe pain, and in some cases can eventually require amputation if left untreated.

    The treatment is… brutal. It’s called a fasciotomy and fits well with the setting of pre-modern medicine as it hasn’t really changed much since the 1800’s. Basically, a doctor makes a long, deep cut, almost down your entire leg, until your leg is basically filleted open. Sometimes, multiple of these cuts are needed all around the leg. The cuts must be kept open until pressure is relieved, which can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, at which point they are stuctured up. I would recommend avoiding pictures if you are squeamish.




  • Yea, I don’t know how anyone can have lived through the last decade and still think “no one is above the law”. What a crock of shit that turned out to be. The rich and powerful absolutely are above the law and anyone who thinks otherwise has their head in the sand. Literally the only time rich people get punished is when then have committed crimes against other rich people.

    Like, does OP really think anything would happen if there was proof of them fucking kids? There could be a full video of Trump tearing a 6 year old boy in half and feasting on his heart, and literally nothing would happen to him.
