It's not quite as bad as I was afraid of. It's "find examples of the concepts we're learning in class in this text" (which just happens to be the Hitler speech for some reason) and then discuss whether or not people's examples fit the concepts correctly. Which, since there are definite yes or no answers in that instance, is a reasonable topic for discussion.
It is an online class, but yeah, was worried prof had lost her mind for a second. It's not that bad.
Whenever I started getting bored, or my students seemed bored, I'd assign a really... outrageous piece (to them) for them to read and react to. It always got some blood pumping in lulls.

lol it's the end of a term, we just finished one paper and we have the longest one yet to somehow finish in the last two weeks of the quarter. I don't think any of us feel like we have time to be bored, but she could very well be? I have no clue.

If that's a still from an '80s film and there's a yuppie character in it, I bet James Spader plays him.

GTR @GTR
I can think of exactly one non yuppie James Spader character. I don't know if there are any more but I found this on his IMDB when I went to find out.

I was thinking something similar. The potential for disaster was very high in the scenario I'd envisioned.

I never count them until they pay out.

At $75.58 + $9.24 bonus right now.
Same here, they don't exist until they pay out, because sometimes they don't. And, (my fault), I usually don't keep good records on that so I can't follow up with the requester.

Turtlefemm @Turtlefemm so this week's English discussion post is...*drumroll*
...responding to a Hitler speech! :facepalm:
rip me. I am frankly a little terrified to find out just what fresh hell will come of this...

...and yet even that is beginning to seem more appealing than turking right now. *sigh*
Oh geez...

Like to be close to $200 but it dried up there in the middle of the day.
Your TV rating for that Jan Buys hit was posted on February 28 2019 and it is the 27th. How much do you charge for a ride in your time machine and don't tell us you do not have one, because we have proof.
