Now put down the fantasy books and go study your chapter on King Arthur and Merlin!
Yeah, why doesn’t she remember all the dates of battles and kings’ deaths?
the emphasis should be on “failing”, not on “and”
I would also accept emphasis on “Medieval History”
Or even on "you’re
Just underline everything, like students marking what’s important to read
Shatner, is that you?
AKA, an autistic person who is imaginative and good at math.
Or just…a person.
I had kind of my equivalent of this in 2002 I was failing like intro computers how do I open PDF class but acing advanced computers a+ cert class and had owned the schools network so I can sympathize but still feel shame
Not giving a fuck about something that doesn’t engage your mind makes perfect sense to me.
The .manager of that class and I also kind of had existential beef
how tho
Half the people in my CS classes couldn’t tell the difference between MacOS and Windows. They were just there to ‘learn a new career’. I don’t understand it either.
It was windows soup I think the new ones were like xp but that might’ve been later they basically didn’t have security it was literal kid shit if you mean the fail I hated the teacher and didn’t respect her because I was like an angry teenage atheist and had like principles about things like tests vs homework so I’d prove I knew stuff but not rehearse bullshit and the asshole teacher was trying yo be like condescending about the subject matter becaisevof position but she did not know how to open PDF and it was a whole thing I was kind of an asshole kid and I’m not sure I was wrong and I’m pretty sure she was in the wrong but I definitely was being shitty and not good about it I was kind of going through some stuff
I found these. I think they are yours.
…,.,…,…,.,.,.,.,…,.,…
It was windows soup - I think the new ones were like xp but that might’ve been later.
They basically didn’t have security, it was literal kid [script kiddy] shit.
If you mean the fail[ing-part]:
I hated the teacher and didn’t respect her, because I was an angry teenage atheist [?]. [I] had principles about things like tests [&] homework, so I’d prove I knew stuff but not rehearse bullshit. The asshole teacher was trying yo [sic] be condescending about the subject matter because of [her] position, but she did not know how to open PDF … It was a whole thing.I was kind of an asshole kid, and [I might have been] wrong. I’m pretty sure she was in the wrong, but I definitely was being shitty and not [nice]; I was kind of going through some stuff.
Thank you so, so much!
Is this loss?
I think they might be a descendent of Lord Timothy Dexter
You are correct. I cannot read this.
Just missing Ren Fairs from the mix to complete the trifecta. Would still be failing tho.
What has D&D and Goth movement to do with Medieval history?
Not sure why you got downvoted. D&D is a medieval fantasy; I’m not familiar with any campaign set in our world let alone a historically accurate version of our world. And the goth movement of today is an aesthetic that I’m not sure even has a direct link to the Goths that challenged Rome, just like someone going around destroying shit wouldn’t have a direct link to the Vandals or maybe even know that the crime is named after the people who sacked Rome.
the goth movement of today is an aesthetic
A purist would say that it’s focused on a specific set of post-punk music acts and the people inspired by them.
Nowadays, yeah, it just means anyone who dresses “dark” regardless of what kind of music they like or scene they hang out in. Which I think is cool, wtf, the music is still there if people want to listen to it: !gothindustrial@lemmy.world
the Goths that challenged Rome
I think the joke relies on “goth” as in “gothic fiction”
The name of the genre is derived from the Renaissance-era use of the word “gothic”, as a pejorative term meaning medieval and barbaric, which itself originated from Gothic architecture and in turn the Goths.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_fiction
So there’s only really a tenuous link to medieval history, let alone goth in the musical or aesthetic sense. The joke would make a lot more sense if the kid was into the Society of Creative Anachronism and Historical European Martial Arts, but I suspect not enough people know about those.
Yes, the barbarians famous in part for their architecture.
Bigotry and tribalism are unintentionally pretty funny sometimes, or would be if they didn’t act as an excuse (in the minds of violent bigots) for violence against people that likely had nothing to do with whatever sparked the anger in the first place.
Which makes me wonder now if that is an intended layer to the joke in the comic, first layer being agreeing with the dad that the kid is useless (boomer humour vibes there), second layer is that the dad is an idiot because none of those things are relevant to each other and he’s basically just complaining that she has “bad” interests while doing poorly in a class.
The Crimean Goths stayed distinct and independent until 1475, and Visigoths were traditionally significant players in the 1492 Reconquista that expelled the Moors from the Iberian peninsula.
You mean the Moops.
Don’t worry, kid’s gonna get an A in Renaissance History.
Worse, I don’t think there’s any chance that Medieval History is a required course, so it’s an elective that she chose herself, probably because of the same things pointed to in the comic.
