WOW!

I've been in education for some 17 years now. I've experienced vicariously the deaths of students due to accidents and a few suicides; students who were friends with students of mine. Those deaths were sad and it royally sucked for everyone... but this hits different.

This is the first time I've had a student on my roster die, and it was from a drive-by. For no reason, this kid was gunned down on the street, and now his friends and family are left picking up the pieces of their shattered lives. Today has been such a whirlwind of emotions, tears and anger, and now I'm just tired. I won't stand up and say this kid was a great student, but damn it if he wasn't a good kid... a freaking *ki

I teach high school industrial tech. We're coming up on the end of the school year and I want to finish by helping students understand their rights and value as part of the workforce. I have the NLRB and my state's labor board (CA) websites as resources, but I'm also looking for some good info graphics or YouTube videos that might be accessible to teenagers.

Also, to keep the question open-ended, what would you like to see more of in terms of student education around labor issues? How can us teachers do better?

The 'new' Gimr slingshot tech is just turning around after dashing, and we've all been doing it since Smash 4. Change my mind.

Let's get it out of the way - I dislike Elite Smash. People just play either too tryhard or desperately campy, especially near the GSP cutoff. And I really don't like the whole "you're in or you're out" aspect of Elite. The majority of my online battles take place in Arenas. While the experience varies much more than matchmaking, at least sometimes you get some fun matchups with the same person, at or near your skill level, with the ability to change characters. I like that enough to mainly play there.

That said, Arenas isn't without its trashy, toxic behaviors - especially when it comes to power tripping arena hosts. In my experience, these are the arena host (and sometimes guest) behavior

All DLC characters have new/gimmicky/janky/broken abilities. Don't try to deny it, just embrace the fact that Sakurai needs to sell more DLC before he retires and ain't nobody gonna buy some no-move Sandbag (actually, I might buy Sandbag, ngl)

Let's go to an alternate universe where your main never made it to Smash until this very moment - The final Smash Ultimate DLC character, quite possibly the final Smash character reveal for all time. The Nintendo Gods have told Sakurai that YOUR main will be the one to make it in, and that it better be not just a contender, but a truly game-breaking experience.

If your main were a DLC character, what representative moves or abilities would they have
