The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 (because if there's anything better than punching fascists, it's George Orwell punching fascists)
One of the classes I teach is a lab course. We start with VMs that have a basic Windows Server install done, and the students will install the VMS and configure it. As part of the lab course they are given a manual that gives them instructions for each part. The manual is written by a technical writer, and reviewed two people. Of those two people one is an educator with a degree in education and has written college level lab materials. The other a sales engineer. This produces a manual that is clear, accurate and informative. It really is very good training material.
And one of my students is not going to pass the test when he takes it. I have very few students I ever feel that way about. Some are slow because they have no IT background. Or they have never seen the software before. And learning software is a bit like learning a new language. You have to figure out what the unspoken assumptions from the devs about what things mean. But the material is really good and so we can get them through it. But this student is taking knowledge of a different version of the software with a different UI and trying to use that instead of reading the material. For students who just don't read I can generally get them to start. But he is firmly convinced that the invalid knowledge he has applies here and no matter how I gently point out to him that his issue is not reading the instructions he's brushing it off.
So he's gonna fail. Which annoys me.
I'm curious which knowledge he has that he's misapplying
The company I work for produces different versions of software that have the same general goal. Five versions in fact built on two separate code bases covering various price points from free to very expensive. The different code bases have different UIs that evolved differently. So imagine that Windows Server went further with it's changes and made everything changeable only through powershell. That would give you an idea. So he's used to a much more simplified UI that has way less options. So for some of the tasks like adding cameras he will run across a setting that will add a camera. In the version he's used it it's a wizard where you click next. In this version there is some data entry because there are way more options. He hits something like that, hits next, and the program throws up an error because he didn't fill in the values he was told to. Then he just keeps hitting next until you point out to him that the lab manual has the values to put in there.

It produces the second longest lasting fascist state. And if you really want to make it shitty, if I put a group of historians in a room and ask them when WWII started, the Spanish Civil War will be a popular answer.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
i think bomber jackets look absolutely terrible on everyone
what if you're flying a bomber?

@skippydumptruck I would think that a good leather jacket is one that you bought years ago, or one that your father or grandfather gave you
To purchase one that already looks old... fake scars, fake memories, it'll keep you warm but it'll leave you cold etc etc
my oldest piece of clothing is a leather jacket I bought when I was like 18
it was the first "nice" clothes I ever bought with my own money, it was like $80
it's nice and worn in now after a decade

21st was kicked for, I assume, violation of the "using chat as real life emotional support" rule.
Given that Chat was almost over and it would likely reoccur in this one, he was kicked from this as well.
This is the song from Use Your Illusion that every person learned how to play on the piano when I was growing up. :-P

As a guitar player, I have definitely played this with a piano player and rocked the fuck out in the jazz band practice room at school.

Every time you agree or awesome it's like a little poll.
