This drove me nuts back in high school. Somehow the yearbook comittee never got it right. Senior year I went through with red pen and circled all the punctuation mistakes for fun.

[Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What's the best 2nd world war drama you've ever seen?English
4·11 个月前I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Hacksaw Ridge. The movie tells a true story based on Desmond Doss, an American conscientious objector who signed up for the army and became a medic. He won the Congressional Medal of Honor without firing a shot.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do you suppose _sour_ candies are so popular these days? It wasn't a market when I was a kid.English
6·1 年前I remember them being way more sour back then. I chalked it up to me being an adult for why they are less sour lol
“Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer. I read it in high school so maybe I wouldn’t hate it as much as I do if I wasn’t forced to read it, but the plot is basically about a booksmart kid who decides to leave his rich parents and society behind to live in remote Alaska. The book follows Chris McCandless along his journey from the Eastern part of the country, through the South, and finally up the West coast and to Alaska (hitchhiking mostly). When he gets to Alaska, instead of actually being prepared and realizing the risk, he goes into “Into the Wild” incredibly unprepared - he ends up having to stay at his remote camp well into the spring because he didn’t consider all the snow melting would render the river blocking his path back to society completely uncrossable. He ends up dying because he ruins most of a moose by failing to properly smoke the meat, and eats a poisionous plant out of desperation. Obviously this could have been avoided by just doing the proper research or bringing extra food (he only brought a few pounds of rice, and the guy who drove him to his final stop literally told him it was a bad idea to do this with so few supplies and only a .22 rifle). Basically his horrible death could have been easily avoided if he wasn’t such an idiot.
The author clearly had a ton of respect for the guy, because he spent a year or two peicing all this together. He spoke about Chris (the unprepared trancendentalist wannabe) with a great deal of reverence, acting like he was a martyr for a cause unclear to me. Why you would want to spend years of your life in an attempt to immortalize an idiot, I am not sure. The author also decided to randomly interrupt the main story with a few chapters about his own moronic adventures, which made an already bad book worse.
I put Tabasco on my pizza all the time :)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who grew up wih The Vanoss Crew, what is your favorite moment or joke from the YouTuber group?English
1·1 年前“Now go - don’t go. Now go. Now go” -Brians soundboard of Nogla on death run. The cherry on top is Moo absolutely losing his mind failing the obstacle in the background.
Speaking of not being able to do obstacles, Marcel being unable to do the knife obstacle stands out.
Vanoss fooling wildcat in guess who by duisuising as a hunter and wildcat tries to sodoku him is hysterical… most of the sodoku moments are great
