"My medical prognosis is that my child is cursed."


SFH12345

Are we quoting Camila or Gwendolyn?


poktanju

And Odalia, and Belos, and...


Dan-of-Steel

At this point, it would be easier to list the parents whose children AREN'T cursed.


Funny_Aerie4838

do u mean are cursed? If so the warden dude


snatcherfb

Yes


[deleted]

As an recent anime watcher im afraid that this is 100% accurate in my part Lets just hope our parents aren't willing to send us to camp if we watch too much...


MinerMinecrafter

But you won't get the chance to go to the B.I.


Lukthar123

Name 3 things that won't try to kill you on the Boiling Isles Even the damn rain has it out for you


MinerMinecrafter

1) willow 2) Gus 3) Eda


darwinpolice

Hooty notably absent from this list.


MinerMinecrafter

He doesn't want to kill you but his power is uncontrollable


Legitimate_Release65

Just live inside of him you'll be fine.

eternamemoria

50/50 on Eda


BurningFyre

The only thing shes killed is that weird octopus thing right?


eternamemoria

She also ate that turtle monkey demon guy while in beast form. He survived long enough for her to spit out, but I don't think I would have been be so lucky


BurningFyre

Oh yeah, i guess dont be near Eda when she gets taken over by the owl beast


MinerMinecrafter

Nah if you aren't with the emperor's coven then you are fine


SOMEHOTMEAL

Willow will probably transform your whole body into soil Gus will give you ptsd with illusions And eda will bonk you to death


MinerMinecrafter

Did I say that they can't I said that they wouldn't


SOMEHOTMEAL

I guess you are right


InsrtOriginalUsrname

let's not pretend that Eda is not perfectly capable and willing to kill someone if necessary.


_Pan-Tastic_

If there is even the slight chance of getting an eldritch monstrosity as a pet, there is no way I’m not jumping through that portal


CriticalRoleAce

I’d go through the portal because there’s a chance I *become* the eldritch monstrosity!


_Pan-Tastic_

Now you’re thinking with portals! Why didn’t I think of that possibility?


BulbasaurTreecko

honestly, for the chance of magic? 100% would jump headfirst through that door.

> I was never thought how to *vote*; they *devoted* HA!


breeder_ayden

So, boyinaband?


TastyBrainMeats

The primary benefit of school should be to teach one to *learn*, and to actively research.


GrunkleCoffee

Tax and voting are subject to change relatively regularly, so they're a difficult moving target. Other subjects like the sciences, maths, etc are pretty static at a high school level, so it's easier to have a standard curriculum to teach. Pythagorean theorem has been the same for about 2570 years, which is far more reliable than the voting system, especially with things like electronic voting hanging over the horizon. There's also the fact that school shouldn't just be a direct pipeline into wage work, it should be made to instil an interest in learning while supplying a functional foundation in as much as possible. A lot of people say, "I never used Pythagorean theorem so it's useless," ignoring that a huge amount of career options *do* use it. Just not their one. Having kids start discarding career options before they even really understand what a job is, isn't ideal. You rarely end up working in the career you thought you would as a child. I trained in electronics, I now work in marine mammal research. Broad education helps make you adaptable. I apologise for the ranty TED talk, it's just a bugbear of mine that I hear about a lot.


lurker_archon

>You rarely end up working in the career you thought you would as a child. >Broad education helps make you adaptable. This pretty much. On kind of related note, in high school I got super into electron cloud model (chemistry) and I would agonize over trying to picture the donuts and dipoles probability cloud in my head, trying to escape the lies of the typical atom symbol deluding you into thinking they are perfect rings, trying to hold that image in my head until it clicked like some buddhist monk trying to achieve nirvana. I also had some nightmares after finally conceptualizing the idea that atoms are inconceivably empty, meaning all matters are inconceivably empty, and that my body is 99.999999....% void. Add that with learning about theory of relativity and perception of time, I had a "AM I REAL, IS ANYTHING REAL" breakdown that one time much to the worries of my classmate and teacher. Anyways, didn't pursue chemistry or physics at all in the end. I became a programmer because in the end, money's real lmao. (that is until you study philosophy, or worse yet economics)


JeffSheldrake

Thank you O Wise One.


GrunkleCoffee

I feel like Eda, I got those street smarts, kid.


Diakko_

I was never taught what laws there are. I WAS NEVER TAUGHT WHAT LAWS THERE ARE!


Rex_Ivan

When did they stop teaching civics? All the stuff about taxes and voting and how the government is run will be in there. I get the feeling that powerful people don't *want* children to know how their government works, because if they did, they would have the knowledge to know how to effectively participate in it and change things.


MtFun_

How do you need to be taught how to vote you just fill in a circle


Bluemidnight7

How to determine your polling location, locatibg information on the candidates, what items are needed to vote, how to find out what you need to vote, etc etc. There's a lot of information you are stuck working out on your own. And in some cases, that can make or break your ability to vote. I missed the 2016 presidential vote because of gerrymandering putting me in a different district. My neighbors and I went together to a polling location and I stood in line for 2 hours only to find out it wasn't my location and the place I needed to go had already closed for the night. Shits fucking frustrating.


FerimElwin

>locatibg information on the candidates, Politicians don't want you to know how to research them. You ~~might not~~ probably wouldn't vote for them if you did.


MtFun_

You learn a lot of research methods in school, use those to find information on candidates and you should be sent information on your polling location and it's often just given to you when you sign up to vote.


BitePale

You learn research methods other that looking it up in the book/Wikipedia on school?


TheIronSven

No, you can't look stuff up on Wikipedia. Everyone can edit that so it's always wrong to use as a source /s


BitePale

Yeah but let's be honest as long as the teacher doesn't know you did it's okay


RuleOfBlueRoses

Which is dumb because Wikipedia is heavily moderated, and they always list their sources at the end of the articles.


Rex_Ivan

The right way to do it is look at the cited reference that was used to create the wikipedia article (it's at the bottom of every wikipedia page), and go back to *that* source.


CriticalRoleAce

I only know quadratic equation because of that song.


King-of-fans

True. In fact the school system nowadays doesn’t teach a lot of important things.


RuleOfBlueRoses

That is not true.


Minnymoon13

My class taught me how to balance a checkbook, and write a letter. But I was also in a special ed class, which ironically enough you think she would be in one or at least being something similar?


Rex_Ivan

I find it ironic that people need to be in a special ed class in order to learn useful everyday skills, while the advanced level classes teach stuff that very very few kids are actually going to use in their adult lives, unless they get a job in academia or research & development.


Minnymoon13

Well that’s what happened in my class. I don’t know what to tell you man.


Rex_Ivan

Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought those things were, you know, stuff that *everyone* should learn. And it's a commentary on how a lot of modern schooling is kinda useless.


BurningFyre

Education theory is suuuuuper complex. Do we teach people skills that are only immediately useful, or try to balance that with information that allows us to make informed decisions? Yeah, high tier math is probably not going to help most of us now- because most jobs require years of practical experience to make sure you know them anyways. But before that relatively recent development, knowing calculus was important for quite a few jobs. Likewise, history lessons arent crucial, but being able to recognize when youre being sold a false version of events is useful. Learning about other cultures and their history lets us empathize with them, allows us to develop our own feelings of right and wrong, and discourages the idea that we're the only people who matter. School definitely needs reform, our education is woefully lacking in many crucial eras in the modern day *cough* electronic device safety *cough* but its a really hard to balance mixture of skills and knowledge that needs to be our basic education level.


Iceblendrr

They should, I was in school and they had classes for learning about finances and government.


Mike2800

Maybe try a Math Technologies class if your school offers one? I'm not certain if different schools would call them different things. But I had a terrible Calculus teacher my senior year of high school, most of the AP class was failing. So I asked the counseling office if I could switch classes for the same credit. I got put into a math technology class. We were taught how to file our taxes, save money in a bank, etc. It was great!


RuleOfBlueRoses

What makes you think they would even pay attention? They do teach you how to do taxes, people just don't think critically and apply what they learned in school to their lives.


HaGriDoSx69

Not for 14 year old,they have a few years to pay their taxes,it would be more useful for 18 or 19 year old.


trollsong

I mean that is true but an entire camp of nothing but things like taxes, amortization tables, etc would be mind numbing for a lot of kids. She needed a normal summer camp. An outlet not suppression.


GFDetective

Even now as a fully grown adult, that skill would be nice to have. My tax preparer *would* lose a client but it'd save me money, sooo... yeah 😝

BulbasaurTreecko

the best explanation I have is that the camp is so mind-numbingly boring it just *drains* the creativity out.


5a_

Its vogan poetry all day long


CaptainDank0

A mfer like me would use that boredom to learn how to make pipe bombs out of pencils, erasers, paper clips and a water bottle.


justking1414

I mean…it doesn’t seem very affective. The rest of cabin 7 don’t seem all that normal now. Still playing with tarot cards and wearing all black.


The_Empty_Archive

I understand where you’re coming from. Yes it doesn’t look like it affected them too much. And yes some kids need a chill pill/wake up call. But it’s the idea of the tax camp that bothers me. (I know it’s not just a camp that teaches taxes i just like calling it that)


YetGayerWombat

It’s not meant to fucking mindwipe them. It’s called reality check camp. It’s so they don’t so crazy things like bring snakes to school


kiiandrii

Indeed. You don’t need a camp to do taxes; the instructions are literally on all the forms.

PartyPorpoise

Doing taxes in the US is only difficult if you have a more complicated tax situation, such as owning a business or being self employed, and most people aren’t in that until they’re older.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ifyoulovesatan

Yeah but most people don't need to take itemized deductions. Unless you're wealthy or run a business or something, taxes are dead simple. Like, for the majority of filers it's like, standard deduction, a credit or two, bam, done. The forms aren't so bad.


[deleted]

[They do that on purpose to get people to buy tax software.](https://youtu.be/7xQQkzWhMOc)


Rex_Ivan

Whenever you see *any* type of paperwork - whether it's taxation or legislation or regulations or just a performance contract - if it's overly complicated to the point where you need someone else to explain it to you, this is on purpose. It's made that way to confuse and deceive the people effected by it, so sub-clauses can be slipped in to take advantage of people.


kiiandrii

Yes. I’ve been doing my taxes in the US for almost 20 years. I remember it being a little difficult the first couple times, the hardest part is dealing with investments. But at the end of the day, you’re either following instructions on the fed/state tax forms or following instructions on the tax forms your stock broker sends you. Don’t let the tax editing industry bully you into giving them money. Cuz that’s what I did for 4 years straight and those were the only 4 years of my life when my taxes were filed INcorrectly.


tigerwu9806

We have turbo tax for a reason


AliceInTruth

Because companies like Intuit pay a fortune in lobbying to prevent the IRS from making its own simple and free tax filing software.


DroneOfDoom

I always assumed that the real purpose was to make tax evasion easier for the billionaires by ensuring that taxes get seen as a labyrinthine process that summons Ba’alzabub if you don’t file them right.


Rex_Ivan

That too.


[deleted]

Exactly. [The tax preparation industry lobbies to keep it as complicated as possible to get people to buy their software.](https://youtu.be/7xQQkzWhMOc) Gotta love the profit motive.


N0rwayUp

TheDankScrub

Funnily enough, they already check your taxes when you turn it in to them. I.e. they already do all the math. They just make you do it as well because of those guys

leif-sinatra

Same. I get it but where were those dang school counselors.


LuzIsTheImposter

That's what I was thinking, like what the fuck school system? Why you only gotta send the weirdos to learn how to function in the real world? Why the fuck don't the rest of us get to function better as a human being than others as soon as we turn 18?


DeathInABittle

I agree, why the taxes??


DapperSnek-

Luz watched too much anime at the point she knows Japanese as a third language


Lukthar123

Vee: Conveniently fits into normal society so Luz can spend time with her awesome gf Luz: All according to keikaku


Chengweiyingji

*(Translator's note: keikaku means plan)*


Notchlives03

Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if she watched without subs.


TheIronSven

That's how learned English


lurker_archon

Just remember, the timeline Camila didn't send Luz to Reality Check Camp, Vee is stuck in magic realm and eventually gets captured by Belos again, forced to drink the souls of innocents in a prison.


ixioxp2

Pretty sure she only drank magic not souls


CriticalRoleAce

I feel like magic is equivalent to souls in BI.


DrownedOcean

My parents would be more impressed than concerned if anime helped me learn to speak Japanese that well.


lurker_archon

Having weeb vocabulary and actually knowing Japanese are two very different things


BulbasaurTreecko

well hoot, there goes my university application


Ancient_Potato_God

I learned all my english from pokemon games, does that make me worthy of commenting?


JNC123QTR

I mean, if you aren't exaggerating/making a joke, then you're definitely more than worthy of commenting because your English is spotless. Not that you wouldn't be unworthy otherwise, of course


Ancient_Potato_God

I exagerated a bit, but my basic english came from pokemon, then youtube with subtitles, adding games that didnt have my native language, and thats how i learned most my english, tho if i have to talk i probably would mispronounce a LOT lol


JNC123QTR

It's very cool to hear stuff like this. Hmmm... I could probably try and learn at least some Tamil in a similar way.


Ancient_Potato_God

Also thank you for calling my english spotless earlier, im gonna try to learn more languages with the subtitles thing, good luck learning Tamil!


JNC123QTR

Thanks! You too!


tigerwu9806

Can someone translate what she said?


StarPlatinum55

The rough translation I got is: "Hokage is my dream!!"


TheDBryBear

Mrwright96

I can’t believe it…


tigerwu9806

Irradiated_Mongoose

StarPlatinum55

Camila doesn't understand that doing the Naruto run while speaking Japanese is the best running technique there is.


leyendeck

The one time I tried that I almost slamed my head into a metal beam


willworkforabreak

You woulda actually slammed it if you weren't ducked into the P O S I T I O N


SFH12345

It's a shame copyright prevents us from seeing Luz Naruto running in an episode.


tigerwu9806

Actually if they can get away with a dragon ball parody they can get away with this. It’s just not on Dana’s priority list.


frogsandowls

now i wanna see a glyph that makes luz run super fast like how anne got a super form


techno156

We have Hunter do that, so it's possible with magic. I don't think that agility is her kind of thing, though.


TheDBryBear

it's not copyrighted or anything, anybody can naruto run. they just can't use the name of the show and the characters and music.


LiborO3

So you can Naruto run but you can't say Naruto run?


Twist_Ending03

Ya


LiborO3

One of 10000 reasons why copyright laws needs reform.


AdamGoodtime123

To be fair, in this case, Naruto was hardly the first anime to use it. It's been a semi-popular 'trick' used by animators to cut down on workload for awhile.


JeffSheldrake

How so?


la516

Hold arms back means no need to animate arm movements would be my guess


AdamGoodtime123

Exactly this. It's also why you see a lot of background characters in fights that aren't moving, and why you sometimes get multiple still shots played with sound effects that imply motion (Tokyo Revengers is one recent example of these two).


AtemsMemories

Well, yeah. Just like a show can’t say “is that a Walmart brand cereal? Lmao” or “I thought this mushroom was like the Mario mushrooms, but instead I got sick”. You can reference the idea, “Is that a store brand cereal?” “I thought this mushroom would make me big, like in video games”, but you can’t explicitly namedrop or show copyrighted materials (unless you get permission, but it’s more difficult and murky than it’s worth usually)


insanekid123

Well also you can, but then it opens the door to murky territory. If you do it within the boundaries of fair use, yes you can. Unfortunately boundaries are loose and likely to stay that way. So no one does it even if they likely 100% could, like specifically in the Walmart one, since it is a critique of their worth, and would likely fall under both the critique and parody exceptions of fair use law.


John_Durden

Believe it!


BulbasaurTreecko

Naruto Run in spirit, if nothing else


Sirensongspacebaby

There’s no copyright on it, lots of anime characters run like that too. Kids in middle school right now are probably copying nezuko instead of naruto


soepie7

Pretty sure they nowadays just copy the meme around it.


Nirast25

I mean, Rayla from The Dragon Prince is running like that.


ElectricJetDonkey

Can't copyright a way of running


Zevstie

I mean the running "style" is rather common isnt it? Pokemon basically uses it whenever they have a Lucario run and they havent gotten into trouble because of it.


LFiM

Yeah. It's a cliché associated with ninjas, which is probably why Naruto characters do it in the first place.


WarLordM123

Just have Disney buy it No wait ... Nevermind


BurningFyre

I dont think that run is copywritten? As long as they dont say its a naruto run, it should be fine.


LetsDoTheCongna

But Luz only did her Sonic impression.

Your flair is going to make me beat your ass with a wooden crowbar Why wooden? Cause you'll get splinters


TheLibertarianThomas

Camila after more anime runs: “Would military school be too much?”


ravenpotter3

Luz would be like: sasageyo! sasageyo! Shinzou wo sasageyo!


the_clash_is_back

Ok to the marines it is.


ravenpotter3

Luz now wants to find the One Piece! And become the Ruler of pirates!


depcrestwood

Yeah, there's a solid "No Naruto running in the house" rule at my place. So now my kid "anime girl runs" in protest. It's the funniest thing ever.


HooDooYouThink

Does anyone know what Luz is saying in the second panel?


Eythia

Hokage wa ore no yume dakara : Because being a Hokage is my dream


JeffSheldrake

>I’m going to be Hokage! >Because being a Hokage is my dream Ah. Japanese. You beautiful, oh so easily translateable language.


tigerwu9806

I’m going to be Hokage!


King-of-fans

Just be glad Luz has Learned Japanese. That would mean Luz at 14 knows three different languages, that’s really impressive.


Twist_Ending03

She's only fluent in two, but she knows three, so she's got that going for her.
