I may watch too much television

[Poll #1084483]

I think the main thing that would make teaching immeasurably better is if the students didn't. to a woman, have much better skin than me. I demand a return to spotty eighteen year olds!

When I was younger and watching Fist of Fun on TV, I thought Stewart Lee was the most beautiful man who ever lived. Then a few years later, watching This Morning With Richard Not Judy, I still liked him (obviously) but decided that it must have been a childish infatuation and he was perfectly normal looking. In the last few weeks I watched the FoF live video, and I wasn't wrong, I wasn't. He was heavenly.

Oh - the "facing facts or truths" bit makes it clearer! That's definitely how I've been seeing it used. I guess it's for mental/emotional confrontations, while confrontational has more connotations of physical, or at least angry, confrontation?

Yes! That's it exactly. In some senses it's almost "that took me out of my comfort zone and made me think". Only, sometimes without the "and made me think".
