Not in practice

So, here’s the thing about time travel. It’s also got to be time and space travel. Since the universe is rapidly expanding and Earth and the whole solar system are moving, traveling backward in time would likely leave a person in the same exact place, however many years ago. Unfortunately, Earth was not in the same exact place however many years ago.

Ergo, a time traveler could end up inside a star, in freezing cold space, or in the path of a comet or other celestial body. Perhaps that’s why we never hear from them.

I propose a time and space traveling expedition. If anyone has the tech, I have the theory.

Krumm?

There are probably other recourses, and maybe the ones I mentioned don’t always work, but they do have the advantage of not screwing up OPs grades and home life.

…because…

Agreed! But if she doesn’t, then getting yourself in trouble shouldn’t be your go to solution.

If she doesn’t leave you alone, there are other options. She was totally wrong (and a jerk) for laughing and kicking your chair. You were also wrong for punching her.

We read it in 7th grade at my school…

Sure. She kicked a chair and laughed. Is that the same as punching in the face? Is this how we want to teach young people to react when someone annoys them?

Perhaps this young person could advocate for themself and move their chair out of reach. Perhaps they could consult the teacher. There are many other things that this student could have tried, but because they feel overwhelmed, they jumped right to the last resort.

That is where the principal’s coming from. Was what the other kid did wrong? Yes. Was it suspendable? No. Fighting is.

Yeah, but one true to the original, no? Or what are you hoping for?

It’s been too long for me, then. I’ll have to re-read!

Not Harry Potter, this one has bats.

As they say in Gregor, the Overlander, “courage only counts when you can count.”

Peter: Hey, is the Count a Vampire? Brian: What's that? Peter: Well he's got these big fangs. Have they ever shown him doin' somebody in and then feedin' on em? Brian: You're, you're asking me if they've ever done a Seseme Street in which the Count kills somebody and then sucks their blood for sustenance Peter: Yeah Brian: No, they've never done that

Sounds like many authors. Who is the editor?

You keep Will Smith’s fictional girlfriend’s name OUT YO MOUF

Does Grandma’s Boy count? Because Grandma’s Boy is Nick Swardson at his best.

I see the kiddiness of the magnets, but also see it as a comment on the mental immaturity of needing a gun to feel secure.

When the parody is worse than the original song about drugs

LMAO

That’s true, but I knew it at the time. Maybe I’m just a duck-o-phile. I figured everyone majored in Anas Platyrhynchos.

Many different encyclopedias. Grolier? Encyclopedia Brittanica? That time all adds up.

Oh I’m not saying they don’t bite. Just that I could write that without a card catalogue.

Doesn’t sound like it. “I want a new duck. One that won’t try to bite…”

Good job exorcising those demons. He’s doing jumping jacks.
