I think way more people like candy corn than not, and the "candy corn is bad meme" must've just been spread by a very vocal anti-candy corn minority

Candy corn isn't great, but it's far from the worst halloween candy. That honor goes to those red candy with the hard shell and "strawberry" goo in the center, the ones with a strawberry wrapper. Also lovely saltwater taffy where half the stuff sticks to the paper so you have to tediously pick out the little bits of paper. Or just eat it. I had a friend who did that with waxy paper like that and it was gross, but they seemed to enjoy it  (also muffin/cupcake wrappers)

Edgar Allen Ho posted:decent saltwater taffy is among the best candy Yeah I love the good stuff. I'm not sure what brand people always got when I was trick or treating age, but there was one that was super common in our neighborhood and it was very much in the latter category. It put me off of the stuff for the longest time.

Most high profile art, like Damien Hirst and stuff is bad, but "Piss Christ" is a good artwork

Danaru posted:Woah what if religious icon but also peepee I'm so loving cultured fuuuck holy shiiiitfuuuuck Nah it's a decent work of art, the piss is an analogue to the humiliation of the cross, but the golden color gives it a somehow dignified look, it's an original take on a really old and cliched genre.

Fancy dress parties are fun but trick or treating is obnoxious as hell and the fact that it's apparently taking off in this country shits me to no end. Someone brings their kids to my door to demand lollies, they can just gently caress right off.

Yeah I mean I don't eat candy and don't keep it around in my house, am I just supposed to go out and buy it in case a kid rings the doorbell, and throw it away if nobody shows up?

At least around here (in Sydney) the etiquette is that only people who put up decorations get trick or treated.

Yeah you only go to places that are obviously displaying their status: decorations, lights on, door/window open if possible, etc. Also, it's a social good because poor kids get to go to rich neighbourhoods where the McDucks are all obliged to hand out their hard-earned candy and indoctrinate our kids into socialism.

Powerpoint should be banned from universities, or at least from the humanities. A good rhetorician doesn't need all that graphical bullshit

PowerPoint can be fine, just 99% of people use it badly. Graphs, pictures, diagrams, etc can be really excellent in a presentation, but everybody just puts the words they're going to say on the screen so of course it's trash.

I'm doing a post-master's teacher training course, during the introduction they stressed that they wanted to teach us how to teach properly in a way that conveys knowledge efficiently. This point was made using a powerpoint of something like 30 slides with bullet point lists on each slide that the guy steamrolled through in 45 minutes, nobody was following him. Now I'm doing an assignment where they demand a powerpoint with lists too. gently caress off. I can remember perfectly well what I want to say without that and I can probably convey the information better without it.

The key is to use elaborate slide transition animations, and to experiment with different background/text color combinations. Consider sound effects as well.

Yeah I'm in the weird rear end situation of having taken a class taught by a godawful "I shall now read from the powerpoint and nothing else" prof who also happens to share a mutual friend the mutual friend is like "yeah he's really not that boring irl" Powerpoint poisons minds

Nothing was better than the little kid rumor mill spinning up during Halloween and slowly but surely having the information trickle in about which houses were giving out whole handfuls, or sodas, or full size candy bars. The full size candy bar hitting the bag was basically the little kid equivalent of hitting the lottery.

I don’t like eating large amounts of food in one go and I also don’t like being stuck in a building with a bunch of my relatives. I actually deliberately got stuck at work there this year to avoid it.

Just go to work assholes An out of balance work/social schedule does not make you a devoted employee. It just leads to stress and poor mental health. Maybe you should consider an option beyond working or forced fun. Take time for yourself.
