The alt text doesn’t help, can someone explain the joke here?

I voted for you, Kevin.

I suspect there’s a law requiring it, because I don’t think corporations would choose to be that nice.

If you want an honest answer, I’d recommend finding some place that has a decent population of openly right-wing people so you can get an answer from them directly, rather than left-wingers snarking and saying they’re all brainwashed fanatics that would never dissent from the party’s candidate.

Is it bigger than an elephant?

Ah, no worries. I guess I just have one of those faces. Have a better day.

Yeah, I did, I’m just saying that unless you have a class of diligent students (in which case good on ya,) a good chunk of them will choose to ignore it and just read the easy version. It’s hard enough to get kids to read what’s assigned, it’ll be harder to get them to read two versions of the same thing.

I’m not upset, I’m just genuinely confused that you implied that “real literature” and “for entertainment” are separate categories. I always thought of these books as being intended for entertainment, just in an artsier/more intellectual way than Marvel movies and bideo bames. Your comment made me think you thought of them as something for intellectual enrichment rather than enjoyment.

I’m also confused why you interpreted my comment in such a hostile way, but that’s another conversation probably not worth turning into an argument.

EDIT: Oh, did you think I was saying they’re not for entertainment?

Sounds to me like it will get a lot of kids reading only the easy version even if they’re capable of more. You’re basically giving them the cliffnotes.

I see what you mean, but sometimes you want a particular story, not just something on your level.

These books aren’t for entertainment?

You ever think about how weird it is that RPG means two different genres of game depending on whether it’s a video game?

If you want to make cool things, you play Minecraft. If you want to do cool things, you play Terraria. In Minecraft, it’s all about gathering resources and building, and the combat is an obstacle on the way to that. In Terraria, it’s about combat, and you gather resources and reshape the world to help you fight bosses.

The terms are that you have to insert your license agreement text? Man.

Hmm, maybe that was it.

The dog is polite enough to stop chewing so you can force their mouth open, but doesn’t grasp the concept of dropping it on their own.

I like how Star Wars is confusing in this way. It’s fun.

I am assuming so as well. I don’t remember exactly which movie he said, but it wouldn’t make sense for it to be the second of three.

I had a professor who didn’t even accept the whole trilogy, and (probably at least in part ironically) attributed some amount of societal problems to the third movie.

Something I learned fairly early in German class.
