    I had someone essentially accuse me of purity testing and doing “leftist infighting” for calling this shit out (“guy I don’t like = cocksucker”). Like uh sure there’s bigger problems we have to worry about right now but that doesn’t mean what you’re doing is ok either. These guys claim to be such allies, but are practically allergic to a simple “hey please don’t do that it’s kind of bigoted even though it’s attacking a bad person”






  • In the US, I’ve heard it called shaved ice/snow cone if it’s freshly ground ice with flavor added by a person, popsicle if it comes in a single serving, and sorbet (often pronounced “sherbert”) if it comes in a tub. Usually sorbet tastes the most uniform and has the softest texture, but shaved ice at the County Fair on a hot sunny day hits like nothing else! (Also hits your wallet like nothing else too but that’s event pricing for ya)

    Sometimes we call the squeeze tubes otter pops but I’m pretty sure that’s a brand name we use as a generic term.



  • Past a point, your instructor/professor only has so much time to read through everyone’s papers, and it’s easy to waffle. If there’s no limit and a student turns in a 500 page write-up when the expectation was 50, that student’s paper will take a lot more time to process through. Enough students do that, and what was supposed to take one week to grade now takes considerably longer, which is a big problem when there’s extra curriculum to go over.
