Front desk staff here.

I work in a building with classic triples. They do actually have AC, but we're told not to turn it on because it wastes energy. ​

I've had a few students come up and ask nicely if we could turn on the AC and I said no because they were too polite. Then this guy came up screaming and shouting and I was just so convinced that I turned on the AC in his room. His is the only room that has AC in the entire building on right now and it's because of how confident and assertive he was.

Just a reminder that front desk staff can make your lives infinitely better and we choose not to unless you're mean to us!

Title.

Aristotle's concept of natural slavery applies to people who genuinely are made to serve others and, in many cases, derive pleasure from doing so.

This summer, I took a political theory class and I didn't do great on the final. I'm wondering if I can demonstrate my learning by email my TA and calling him a slave because he grades papers all the time and said he likes being a TA which is basically the same as wanting to serve undergrads.

His feedback was that I should "show not tell" in my writing to make it better, so I'm thinking about emailing him and calling him a "slave" to show my learning and letting him figure out I'm referring to Aristotle instead of ​directly telling him. Thoughts?
