Tusky 1.4.0 has been released. Read the full release notes here: https://github.com/Vavassor/Tusky/releases/tag/v1.4.0
Programming note 2: Initially it kinda sounds like one of the players is doing a gay stereotype for his character voice. He later clarified that the voice is based on that of am actual (straight) friend of his.
Earlyish the show makes a couple of minor mis-steps with regards to queer representation, but actually *listened to feedback* and ends up having some great queer characters.
Programming notes: the show is absolutely finding it's feet for the first couple of arcs. You should know whether it's your jam or not by, I'd say, the end of episode 8. Yeah I know that's a fairly big time ask but it's worth it.
I didn't expect that a podcast where three professional comedians and their dad play D&D would end up having a plot that's leaving me on the edge of my seat, but now I'm 49 episodes in and absolutely loving it.
The Adventure Zone is good and you should listen to it.
First episode re-edited to cut a lot of extraneous character creation junk: https://adventurezone.libsyn.com/ep-15-here-there-be-gerblins-chapter-one-super-cut

Yes, it's subtle, but it gets ingrained. Child 1 is trained to believe "whether or not I accomplish something is because of something innate in me", and Child 2 is trained to believe "whether or not I accomplish something is a function of the work I put in".
Child 2 sees failure as an obstacle to be overcome and redoubles their effort.
Child 1 sees failure as a /personal/ failure and seeks something else that they know they'll succeed at.
Two children have just completed a task. Both are praised for completing it.
Child 1 hears: "You're so smart, good job!"
Child 2 hears: "You did such good work, good job!"
They feel roughly the same, but there's a substantial difference. Consider the implications:
Child 1 hears: "You have an innate ability that allowed you to complete this task."
Child 2 hears: "You did a lot of work that allowed you to complete this task."
Now do you see the difference?

Also Lucy Liu is a stunningly talented actor. She does the thing where you can just look at her face and tell exactly what her character is thinking.

is a girl not entitled to the but of we're both girls?
as best I can tell the reason for that much emphasis placed on polynomial equations in algebra class is that a while ago mathematicians realized you could treat them as numbers in their own right (as vectors) & proofs about them were very much in vogue in the 16th and 17th centuries, the mathematical era before calculus became fashionable
& we don't really revisit our math curriculums, we just put new stuff on the end. So polynomials come before calculus comes before topological set theory &c
