That is, of course, before she decides to bear his children. :psyduck:

The hell? Are you confusing Friends with Game of Thrones or did I miss something? Aside from the entirety of the show, I mean. Incest in Friends just seems like something they'd do if they just wanted the show to be finished already.

It was funnier to just post it like that without an explanation at first, but yeah, it's actually a surrogacy situation. Her brother's wife is 26 years older than him, and too old to have children, so they ask Pheobe if she'll be a surrogate mother and she agrees. The conception is done medically through IVF, and it's honestly a lot less creepy than it seems, but the inherent weirdness of it is used for comedic effect in the series.
She ends up giving birth to triplets... and yeah, it's weird.
War Sparrow:
I wonder if Corpsewitch has ever been hurt, and her reactions are coloured by that? And misery loves company, so that's why she seemed almost cheerful when Bubbles came back angry and hurt. That way, it's not Corpsewitch who has a problem-people are just jerks to AIs. Faye is showing that humans can be kind..even abrasive, smelly, cantankerous humans. So perhaps she will gain some introspection, start to heal, and go back to the friend who had hurt her in the past...
Gordon the spider AI, who refused to place her as a companion, which was her dream.
Kugai:
More proof that Claire has Pintsize sized up well and good.

After catching Ross and Monica kissing, Joey gets thrown out a window.

--- Quote from: Fen on 13 Apr 2016, 22:18 ---It's why I like teaching younger kids. You tend to focus on how cute they are when they're wrong but at least they try, since you have a different set of expectations. The ennui still kicks in after 10-15 papers, though; I wonder if kids realise how much their grade might be affected by where they put their paper on the stack at the end of the test.
If everyone else is bad -> they get a way higher grade as expectations plummet
If everyone else is really good -> they get a lower one as expectations rise
If they're all kind of the same -> they get evened out
If they're the first paper the prof reads -> they pretty much set the mood for everyone else's grading expectations.

I taught College night school / continuing ed
- I hated doing first year courses because you had no idea if anybody knew even the basics to be there
- The continuing ed and day students doing schedule shifts were for the most part teachable because they wanted to be there
- The second+ rounders were a pain in the butt due to all sorts of issues centered on "I'm a lazy dumb-ass"
Teaching technical subjects and/or math makes creating and marking tests easier
Mixture of multiple choice, definitions, calculations, complete the diagram/chart
I was also a bit of an ass to the lazy students - my tests went either front to back or back to front in the order the subject was covered in class - heck I even included questions verbatim direct from the textbooks question bank [sometimes exactly and the answer was in the book]
Guess what - the idiots still struggled and the smarter ones quickly learned to read the damn book and do the review questions.
