Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Princess_Lilly No I don’t think so whatsoever, it’s just a cold, sore throat, runny nose, I already got that mess and I gotta be honest I still feel like I never fully recovered from it, I don’t know.

Oh yes! Tea! I’m going to drink a lot of tea! I think I got about a day left in me before I get fully sick, I must do everything I can till then!

What the heck? @EllaTheQueen6 now we don’t have any more power juice!

@Snatcher All right that sounds good, that makes sense because agility is supposed to let you dodge attacks. And I've been used to controlling Rex anyway, lol. I'll try to up their agility stats next time I play, guess that's more important than I thought. And some grinding to be on the safe side.

Still taking a break from the game though... those roadblocks I've been dealing with, including my current one, are not doing me any favors. Been thinking of coming back to Tears of the Kingdom, and I've preordered Super Mario Bros. Wonder as well.

@MarioLover92 Yes builds are pretty important! Like any rpg though you can tackle it two ways, either figure out the problem, what your equipment situation is, (this is if your the right level) or over level and stomp the boss lol!

Take all the time you need! I’m sure playing Mario will do you wonders

@Snatcher Wahhhh I want orange juice

I'm brekaing into your house and making chicken soup for your entire family

@Snatcher Lol, exactly! I love a good Mario game... but you probably already knew that because of my username, haha.

@EllaTheQueen6 Now now, you know breaking into houses is only legal if it’s Santa clause. (Boy why does chicken soup just sound like the best thing ever when your start getting sick lol)

@Snatcher FIne I won't break it I'llforce you to let me in

@EllaTheQueen6 Ayo what? I mean at that point it wouldn’t be breaking and Entering I guess.

@EaglyBird do they ever even find out they’re not biologically father and son?

Last time I saw the show, when he was literally told his child was of Native American descent, his immediate thought was “then I am Native American!”.

@Snatcher tea is always a great idea. Dilmah brand has a great one with rose and french vanilla, perfect for a refined lady. Also, be good and eat all the chicken soup @EllaTheQueen6 will prepare for you after breaking into your home.

Chicken soup is pretty fatty and makes you warm. I remember when I recovered from a serious flu (39 degrees) and got a roasted chicken from some shopping mall booth. It wasnt anything except for chicken, not even basted, but it was the best thing ever. I still remember eating that chicken after 3 days of instant noodles.

Ella, everything is in your capable hands

@EaglyBird ah so then the meme is perfect

@Scooby-Doo that sounds discouraging. But the best part is, no people in a wide radius! Some people would trade places instantly

@TeaCatherine so you want to be a certified ferryman?

Do teachers realize that word requirements on a response will only make the response worse? Its hard to come up with a 400 word response to something that only needs 1 or 2 sentences at most.

@blindsquarel
400 words for response?
What subject is that?

@blindsquarel I think they should just require you don’t half ##s it, other then that I find word counts a little silly lol.

@Anti-Matter
Its just a discussion prompt for english.

@Snatcher
Yeah, thats true. Although most of my time spent is figuring out how I can double a response that ive already written all my thoughts on.

I think that the likelihood of the quality of the answer to become diluted due to the forced and restrictive imposition of it equiring four hundred words is directly equivalent to the nuance of the topic and the context of the request. There probably are subjects where filling in four hundred words would be easy even without making the answer wordy and repetitive like this one where, in case you haven't noticed, I'm actually drawing it out as a joke in order to make it also reach the four hundred word limit you mention. Have you noticed I spell "four hundred" out every time instead of using plain numbers? Well that's because four hundred is two words.

Anyway, I am sure the teacher will have a good reason to request such long answers, perhaps it's to pad out for time or even to make the student think harder about the words they use and the composition of their answer, since a four hundred answer would either need to be separated into multiple paragraphs or risk being a single, unreadable, wall of text; so the student would likely need to remember and apply mutiple writing techniques in order to deliver a presentable piece.

On the other hand, forcing a student (who one might assume would be still a younger individual) to write such long answers might also have the opposite effect and cause them to rely on repetitive statements and unoriginal concepts- perhaps even fall onto plagiarism and the ever popular Wikipedia copy and paste job if they're desperate enough to fill in all the required four hundred words. I am confident that there must be at least some studies that weigh in on the consequences of such teaching tactics and their lasting effect on the psyche and selfsteem of the student, whose brain might be still in development.

Can you believe I have wrote all that and still am missing over eighty words? I belive that four hundred words might indeed be a lot more than what it seems at first, after all this is more of an essay than an answer at this point. Perhaps that's the idea, the teacher wants an essay, and asking for it while describing it as a simple answer is their cheeky way of playing a scholarly joke on their pupils.

Either way, in conclusion: four hundred words is indeed a lot of them.

@Eel That is the best response to such a question.
I still can't believe I had a 250 word essay for gym. I remember using such fancy words to describe my physical condiiton lol

@Eel
I got the assignment done, although there is 300 words of fluff in it.

Also, lol.
