InfiniteInsanity she/her Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Silhouette is. I think. But it was very important and very much needed. Definitely worth reading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Halcyon Girl she/her Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 5 hours ago, Ookla the Debonair said: Guys. I'm going to be really serious for a second and give an important PSA. Rating someone based on their looks, even yourself, isn't cool. It kinda implies that your whole worth can be reduced to one magical number which just isn't true. And everyone single one of you is unique and beautiful in your own way, and it's not fair to judge yourself like that. And this all is totally subjective, so it's much more important to focus on the wonderful personality that each of you has. And I know that this wasn't too serious or anything and I might be blowing this out of proportion but the fact is, each one of you is much more than any number from 1-10 and putting yourself as a number isn't the healthiest thing in the world. Also, eating meals is vital for your physical and mental health. Anyway, @Ookla the Quark, @Ookla the Ta'veren, @Ookla the Obstinate, @Ookla the Unknowing, @Ookla the BlowUpperOfStuff, and @InfiniteInsanity each one of you is beautiful. I've interacted with each one of you and I can personally attest that you all are much more than a number. Sorry if this comes across in the wrong way--I just wanted to share this message because I think it's important for everyone to understand. This. So true and so easy to forget. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash67 he/him Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) Essays for me are just: 1) crappy outline 2) slightly less crappy rough draft 3) depending on occasion, change things (or not) 4) turn in words that may or may not make sense to reader it got me thru a philosophy course that I had to take for teaching certification stuff, so it works sometimes Edited December 20, 2022 by Cash67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they want you to think - they give pointed examples so that students will better be able to understand those, but if you really want good grades, you reach out for something less studied and focus on that At least, that's been my experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morningtide she/her Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 I would have so much fun if they would let highschool have an ethics or philosophy class and we could write stuff about whatever we wanted and then debate it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
