Place your random thoughts.

So I finished watching the first round of Mouse Madness. Here are my thoughts:
  • It was no surprise that Lion King would win the first round. It was a popular movie back when it was released, and it’s still popular today. But the movie it went against, Home on the Range, was widely considered to be Disney’s worst movie, so there was no challenge.
  • It was also not surprising to see The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin win the first round, though The Little Mermaid not getting a #1 seed seemed rather surprising since it was one of the four big hits.
  • Another thing that doesn’t surprise me was how poorly Wish fared among the polls. Aside to being pitted against one of the four big hits of the Disney Renaissance, it was the only movie to get less than 10 votes, on a poll that had over 400 votes. That tells me that people really hate that movie.
  • The two biggest shockers for me were that both Frozen and Alice in Wonderland lost. Frozen, being one of Disney’s biggest hits, lost to Meet the Robinsons, one of Disney’s weaker attempts from the 2000’s. It may have been more popular than The Lion King at one point, but it lost the first round. Regarding Alice in Wonderland, while it wasn’t a super popular movie, the fact it lost to a Dark Era film The Great Mouse Detective (which was no more popular than Alice) was surprising.

find the horse (impossible. dont even try to find him. you cant.)

also ive had this terrible fear of playing computer games for a while. it sounds weird and i dont really wanna get into detail about it but its been stopping me from using steam entirely... i even get really bad motion sickness while playing them. im hoping i can get over it after a while
 
I think I would make a good talent evaluator. I know my own many shortcomings and can see them in others.

Put me in charge of hiring and the company will have the greatest anti me employees and be super successful!

I also get motion sickness playing games. It's good to figure out what your triggers are. For me it's first person POV, certain graphics styles, fast camera movements, and head bobbing/camera shake. Whenever I start a new game the first thing I do is modify the camera settings - it helps a lot!
 
One of the teachers in my school just got sacked for bullying and swearing at students 💀 it was definitely deserved, but I feel so bad for the exam year students, they're actually screwed for their exams (there's about 3 months left until those start, and the school hasn't found a replacement teacher yet)

Hopefully they don't get hired as a teacher anywhere else!

iwl, she got fired from her last school too and for the same reasons. I think it's unlikely a third school will take her on after that, her temperament is not very likeable or suited to teaching (she almost ran me over with her car and gave me the stink eye for it lmao)
 
The very first controversy I discussed on the internet (or read about) is nothing political. It’s far from it, actually.

It was on TV.com, specifically on the cartoon boards. It wasn’t about Cartoon Network going downhill, nor was it about SpongeBob going downhill. It wasn’t even the SpongeBob vs Avatar rivalry. It was rather the fact that the Chowder episode “Sniffleball/Mung on the Rocks” got delayed. It was supposed to premiere on Cartoon Network on January 25th, 2008, but thanks to the Writer’s Strike or something, Cartoon Network didn’t air it like when it was supposed to. It finally got an airing on March 6th, 2008, but the delay really frustrated both me and Chowder fans. I even remember when I first saw the schedule change, I was like “They cancelled it! 😡”.

Regarding fandoms and the community, Cartoon Network has always been a hotbed of controversies. And I don’t mean real controversies. I mean the bad business decisions CN made from 2005 to 2009, kinda like when Coke changed their brand to “New Coke”. If you were just as old as I was, you’ll remember when they cancelled good shows and replaced them with subpar shows, when they had terrible promotions like Fried Dynamite, when they cancelled Toonami, and when they put on live action shows (which defied the name). And the decision to not air that Chowder episode on time was one of the many bad decisions Cartoon Network had made.

I had a teacher who actually mocked me in front of the entire class after my model rocket failed to launch. He actually pointed at me and said out loud in this really condescending voice, “That’s what happens when you don’t follow instructions like him!” I followed the instructions carefully. In fact he had taped the steps on a VHS tape and I rewound it and rewatched each step twice very carefully. And the problem wasn’t even me not following instructions as there was a girl in the same class whose rocket also failed to launch yet she didn’t get mocked or had any snide remarks made towards her by the teacher. And don’t even get me started on the school psychologist who literally wrote down that it was my fault that I was being bullied and that I was a perpetual liar who demanded constant attention which was far from the truth as I would tell the teacher the truth that I was being bothered by bullies and then the bullies played the victim and the teacher believed them over me. Yeah I might have wanted teachers to notice me sometimes but that was more for self ester and self worth purposes because I wanted to hear someone say that I did a good job on a project or that I had an interesting counterpoint of view that was worth considering. When your older sibling was one of the smartest students ever to attend the school and you are pushed aside a lot of the time because you aren’t as smart, you’d naturally want adults to notice your accomplishments too and say that you did a good job just to feel good about yourself and to motivate you to continue working hard. The school psychologist also ignored my constant complaint that I literally didn’t feel safe in school.

No one should ever go through something like that. I'm sorry you went through that

Yikes. Someone like that should have never been picked up. Anyone like that really needs to work out their own issues before going off to an environment where they have to teach/help others. Educational or not.

At the time, I didn’t know or understand how incredibly unprofessional that was of the teacher and that I should have reported him for it because this wasn’t a one time incident. The very first day of class he made a joke that wasn’t even funny about me that made everyone laugh at me. The school psychologist I didn’t know what she had said about me until about seven years after I had Grady and I came across this psych evaluation she wrote about me in some papers that were in my permanent file for the school district. That is when I realized how badly the school district had mistreated me and allowed me to be severely bullied and that 5hey refused to help me because I wasn’t worth anything to them and it was easier to blame me and ignore my pleas for help than doing their job. They knew that place wasn’t safe for me as I told the principal that kids kept throwing literal garbage at me including glass bottles. But they decided it was my fault for being different.

That school should have been shut down in my opinion. Just because you're different doesn't make their actions ok or acceptable. They need to be hold accountable for their actions

Gosh. Did they hire literal toddlers instead of adults. That's so awful, I'm sorry you had to deal with all of that.

I want to file a civil lawsuit against the school district but I don’t know any lawyers that could help me. I also don’t want to push the lawsuit to go to court if there’s a high chance that I won’t win.
