[OOC: And here is your IC Announcement Post for the Recollé Ninja Warrior plot! The plotting post is right over here, and OOC questions can be directed over here! (We'll be getting back to questions shortly, thank you for your patience!)

This post serves as an OPEN MINGLE, so feel free to threadjack, interact, make IC plans, and whatnot! If you want to talk to Carmen specifically, hit her up on her personal top-level HERE; otherwise this post is a free for all!]

Or rather, you can't wait for you to prance around in that outfit. FIFY

[penalizing]

nope, definitely had it right the first time!!
that's just stupid

[promisedyou]

Well, I never said you weren't stupid.

[penalizing]

you're the one saying all the stupid stuff...
it wasn't even a clever comment!!
i expected better from you

[promisedyou]

I wasn't trying to be clever, you know. After all, I have to make things a little simpler for you. ☆

[penalizing]

you can just admit that you're dumb, you don't need to keep lying!!
we already all know anyway

[promisedyou]

My grades would say otherwise, though.

[penalizing]

except not really??
grades have nothing to do with being smart
all they are is proof that you can remember a bunch of useless crap and vomit it on a test

[promisedyou]

Not all of it is useless, you know.
And not all tests are about memorization, either.

[penalizing]

it pretty much all is
if i can google it in five seconds, it's dumb to make us waste our time learning it...
and the only exception to memorization is math, and that's dumb for the same reasons as above
calculators were been invented for a reason

[promisedyou]

I personally don't think it's a waste, though. I mean, sometimes it gets boring if you're not learning subject matter that interests you, but it isn't a waste.

Besides, even if we are in the age of technology, technology isn't perfect. And the internet can't teach you everything. Not to mention the fact that the internet can have false information, too.

Also you can't do all types of math on a calculator. Like you can't do measurements on a calculator in order to figure out the perimeter or area of shapes, or even do time-related problems properly, given how calculators work. Although you are wrong about one thing: sometimes people memorize things for math. Like basic times tables and square roots.

But that's all boring tl;dr isn't it?

[penalizing]

...yeah i didn't read any of that
too long

[promisedyou]

Figures.

[penalizing]

i mean, if you have to use a lot of words to make your argument, it's not very strong...

[promisedyou]

Says you. I'm not the one that didn't bother to read.

[penalizing]

like i said, i don't like wasting my time
