Mother’s Day
2024.05.16 06:00 Good_Attention_3039 Mother’s Day
So here is my take on Mother’s Day at my mother’s COC. It’s been quite a while since I stepped foot in a COC and I have been attending a non-denominational church for the last two years.
Mother’s Day is a day when there are a lot of guests. As I sat there, I pretended that I was a first time visitor that knew nothing about the COC. It struck me that the entire service is just a self-serving ceremony for the regular members. If I were a true non-Christian visitor, I would’ve had no idea what was going on. First of all, we sang some really sad, slow songs. Mostly sitting down. And then there was a scripture reading that was about half a chapter long….still sitting. It was red and the most monotone voice possible with no meaning or emphasis behind any of the words. Meanwhile, everybody was thumbing through their Bibles and digging for gum in their purses. The sermon absolutely made no sense. He was jumping all around about all of the life events of Moses and assuming that we knew all the stories. Was it about mothers? Sort of? I still don’t understand what the entire point of the sermon was. It was all over the place.
The Lord supper was neither explained, nor given the respect and reverence it deserves. At my non-denom church, we are encouraged to repent of any sins that we need to repent of before we partake. And then we all take the elements and wait for everyone and take it together. This was a free for all and some old dude just got up and mumbled a rote prayer.
They must have chosen the very worst song leader they have in the entire congregation. Every song was a dirge, and I am not kidding. I saw not one smile. Nobody looked up from their song books, even though I know they have sang these songs 6000 times. It was the saddest thing I’ve ever experienced.
The invitation was a mumbled statement they always make about how if you would like to be baptized to come up front during the last dirge. (Baptism? Why? When? What for? )That was it. That was it. Worst invite EVER. No explanation. If they were giving a bougie party at the Ritz Hotel, literally it was like they said “there’s a gathering at the hotel down the street if you want yo join.” My parents keep bragging about how their church is “growing“, but I think that the churches of Christ are just shifting around members from one congregation to another. I do not for the life of me understand why any new Christian would ever find in this type of church and want to be a part of it.
My last impression was that I think 99.9% of church of Christ preachers never listen to a sermon given by anybody outside of the brotherhood. Why would they? Because any sermon given by anybody else is not the “truth“. But their their style of preaching is so hard to follow and not meaningful and very self-serving. They assume everyone has a solid background in Biblical theology. It’s like they don’t even want to try to be more effective or teach the unsaved.

2024.05.16 05:54 roguescott Traveling for work makes me drink less!
I teach workshops both remotely and in person and this is the first week since probably Feb or March where I really am not consuming much at all. I fly home Friday first class (free upgrade!) and will likely have one drink. This week instead of 2-3 in a sitting, I want one or none at all. I have had a total of 4 drinks since Sunday which for me is about 5 less than usual. My colleague who I teach with doesn't drink much which makes it so easy.
And that feels really great. Dry January has made it easier for me to say no and pay attention when I'm intentional about it. Going to try and carry this home with me.

2024.05.16 05:54 marieharp08 Wyoming prisons 2023 & My Little Brother
Okay, this will be the last text I send (unless something happens getting my brother out of the hole right now.)
If there's no action taken by you, I plan to go on to the next person in your Chain of Command. (I mean this in the kindest way) (ask Trav) I'm just fighting for what's right .(...and he was sentenced harshly for a crime that did not fit his case.)
He is also my best friend.
The truth Always Wins. Travis is a good human being. He has had a rough start to life. He is different now. I can finally see he isnt angry and forgives. (I am learning this from him now.)
He is in the whole right now because a 240 Lb man named Arthur punched him in the face after Trav told him to "Fuck Off." While on the ground being restrained by Guards he was kicked in the eye socket with steel-toed boots!!
Now he sits in the hole with a note on the door if your not going to be nice, ...... Be Nice.
This breaks my heart, my parents, my kids and his Liberty hearts. His Charge is the worst of the Worst and he didn't do that.
He got jumped and is being punished by Guards that dislike him.
The guard that's on duty tonight only allowed him 30 minutes on the phone the guard last night. Let him have an hour. So we only got to talk to me today for 30 min.
Again, all we need is one good person in Charge to stand up for him. This is wrong on so many accounts.
Today he received the abbreviations for blood panel results... Example: A1C. 5.3 Test 479 EFT. 4 (Those are his actual reading)
He called me with a 30 minute phone call. He was allowed so I could look it up and it appears that he has going through kidney failure. He got a note from the doctors in the prison saying he needs to be seen right away. Yet he's still stuck in the hole right now.
This incident that happened to land Travis Harp in the "hole" happened last Thursday 03/02/23. When Arthur and Trav met in the kitchen at 4 am.
The last 9 years have been a whirl wind of terrible mistreating while being imprisoned. Trav also told me that we're apart of the reason that he was able to go to the honor camp. You must have seen the good in Trav. He is a good Man.
Please act now. I know you have a family emergency and I am REALLY sorry for this.
But if they choose to add last Thursday's incidents to his point system, Travis says they'll send him back to Rawlins. He's getting out in 8 months. This was planned. Him getting punched in the face and kicked in the face.
If you have any downtime, I would be the most grateful person. If you would contact the prison and make it right, you have that authority right?
Eagerly waiting your response,
MY NAME HERE
He just wants to work with Dad at his place in Sheridan. When he saves enough money for land and (he says) a tailor. Then move to be near me and our family.
Sorry for the book. You are the first person to say you will look into Travis Harps Multiple appeals.
This is conversation between the warden of the prison (where my brother's at) and I this evening. I need honest thoughts.
We need to get together sometime and have a chat about life .
Wyoming has huge issues. One of them is their prison systems.
Free my Little brother!!

2024.05.16 05:51 Quick_Vanilla3212 Rohan spear support?
Hey there.
I’m reasonably new to the game. I’ve played five games so far all as Rohan as that’s the only army I currently have. Four of those games were with my friend who was teaching me the game.
The last two games I’ve used full cavalry lists. A lot of fun, however upon making some lists and looking for something with a bit of balance between cavalry and regular footmen, I noticed in the rule book ordinary Rohan soldiers and royal guard have no option for spears (they do have throwing spears I know).
Am I correct in that Rohan cannot spear support its regular troops without allying in a faction who has the option for spears?
In my first few games my friend assured me Rohan has spears and can use them to support so I’m a bit confused.
Thanks for any clarification!

2024.05.16 05:46 Court152344777 Drama
Well, I didn’t think things would come this far or have to be like this. I want to start off by saying that I am not perfect, I do make plenty of mistakes and i will continue to make mistakes. I’m writing this because a coworker of mine decided to make a post about me and completely lied.
I work for Jo-Ann fabrics and I love it, I love the atmosphere and I love the people- the customers and coworkers. Well, except one. For privacy I will call her Regina because she acts like work is the mean girls movie. I started working for this company October of 2023, I was hired in as the full time key holder. I do have a four year old that goes to school and due to kids having germs my daughter was sick a lot so I did have to call in, I don’t have much help babysitter wise so I HAD to stay home to take care of her. I didn’t call in every other day it was like twice every so often. Regina didn’t like that and resented me for choosing to take care of my daughter rather than work, so she told our boss that she should have the position because she doesn’t have a kid and would be available more. Our boss talked to me so I sacrificed the position so she could have it, now I’m not mad, upset or jealous that I don’t have the full time position it’s just hard to make a living working part time hours only making 10.55 an hour. If I knew what was to come I would have NEVER sacrificed the full time position. I do have a steady babysitter now so I’m working as much as I can so I can provide for my daughters need, kids are expensive and my daughters birthday is coming up so I asked for extra hours.
Days after Regina and I switched positions she started to act like she was made out of gold, like a golden child would. She would ALWAYS rub it in my face that she now was the full time key holder and always bragged how much more an hour she makes. She would ask all of our coworkers what their pay was and then would tell them how much she makes. I don’t care how much she makes, though higher pay would make my living situation easier. I grew up poor so I already adapted to a life of poverty and I’m honestly okay with it, sometimes it’s harder than other times but I make it work with what I have. Money to me is just paper, I can’t take it to the grave with me. Regina stoped me in the back room and said “I hope your not mad” I asked “why would I be mad” Regina replied with “because I make way more money than you” I smiled “well, I honestly don’t care. I couldn’t care less about money” Regina’s face got sour and cold because she knew she wasn’t getting under my skin. She replied with “oh, I thought you were”. I chuckled and said “no” and continued what I was doing.
Some time goes where nothing was happening but I could feel that something was brewing. It was the calm before the storm is what I’d call it. Now around this time I was going through a break up and was not feeling the best in my own skin and Regina knew this and used it as her ammunition. She started to call me her fat friend and then gave me hugs, I felt awkward because I do not like to be touched due to some very tramatic events . I’m bigger, I’m not skinny but I’m also not severely obese. Regina started to poke me and grab my fat and jiggle it. The first time she did, it was in front of two other female coworkers. They weren’t nice either, I’ll call them Gretchen and Karen, they were all in on this. When Regina grabbed my fat and giggled it Gretchen and Karen watched and laughed. I asked Regina “what are you doing” she responded with “I just wanted to feel how squishy it is”. Me being a non confrontational person I say “oh, don’t do that” still being nice and smiling, though I felt what was left of my self esteem completely shatter. I brushed it off and walked up to where all three of the mean girls were to ask a question about work since I was the only one doing something. Before I could even ask the question Gretchen goes behind me, makes a fist and lightly punched my back fat making it jiggle. All the girls laugh, I could feel my face getting hot and tears forming in my eyes as my heart sank to my stomach. I went to the bathroom for a moment to gather myself. This would go one for weeks, and every time it happened I would ask her to stop or to leave me be, each time she disregarded what I asked. During this time she would tell every coworker that I was a bad worker, I didn’t do what I was supposed to and if I did I would do a horrible job. There are so many other things she has said to others one that hurt the most was her saying it was annoying that I talk about my daughter so much. Now this whole time I thought we were friends, I’m a very forgiving person and I’m super nice even to people who don’t deserve it so when I heard about everything she was saying I was hurt I was so confused because she even asked to be my daughters god mother though she was never in my daughters life. I know friends don’t treat friends like that but I was just happy I could call someone a friend after years of having no one due to becoming a mom and losing myself in motherhood. I call my kindness and willingness to forgive a blessing and a curse because it truly is.
After finding out about everything she was saying, the drama and the physical touching which is actually bulling and harassment I finally went to my boss. It took me almost two months to tell her what was going on and how I felt. I hated every second explaining the torment to her, my boss is a lovey person and is super sweet. I couldn’t imagine how she felt hearing all of this, I truly felt like I was going to puke. I was so uncomfortable I couldn’t bear to work any longer without the help of my boss. My boss did talk to Regina and she said that she seems like she will be better and will stop the nonsense. A day after she was talked to Regina poked my back fat and laughed, she was shocked at how I responded. This time I wasn’t nice I turned to her and pretty much yelled “don’t touch me” she immediately apologized. I was surprised with how I responded as well, I actually stood up for myself and it felt nice. I did tell my boss she touched me again so Regina was talked to again and was extremely pissed. She started acting really passive aggressive, avoiding me and slamming things and being rude to everyone even customers. Me, being the nice person I am I decided that I would forgive her. Dumb of me, I know. I wrote her a four or five page letter explaining how everything made me feel , how bad of a friend she was and that I would teach her how to be a good friend. I even bought her a candle and some other stuff along with the letter I went as far as going over to her house to help her clean. She cried a lot when she read the letter and cried to me saying how bad of a friend she was, I hugged her back and said that it was okay and I forgive her. After that is was okay for a while until I witnessed her take drinks without paying for them and told my boss. After this, it was like a war.
I have never gotten in trouble with anyone, anywhere with anything, I guess I’m a goodie-two-shoes. Though I do have anger problems I have found ways to cope and deal with my anger, I’ve been working really hard to not get angry at Regina even though she deserves to hear what the mama bear side of me wants to say. I want to be gentle, I want to be nice and forgiving, I don’t want to be angry. But I knew I had to set some sturdy boundaries in order to keep my sanity. These past few weeks have been hell, in summary I caught her talking bad about me to my boss, she was lying about me, blaming me and others for things we didn’t do. With one situation in particular she turned the tables , when hearing this my adrenaline started to course through my veins, I stared to shake so bad. I went up to her and told her that was not how the story went. She got so scared seeing me so mad and shaking. She apologized to our boss for lying but not to me, my other coworker helped me calm down and thank god she did because I was going to quit right there and then. To summarize other things she has done I will just list them -tried to frame another coworker for theft to the point the coworker cried to our boss -tried to take credit for the work I did -talks bad about other managers and workers in other stores -gave out the phone numbers and emails of our hr and of our boss’s boss -made me work off the clock to train new people because she didn’t want to train them -purposely trained me wrong and is hesitant with teaching me new things to the point my boss has to and when I learn she gets mad and jealous because she’s threatened by my work ethic -yelled at me in front of a customer to the point the customer came back to complain about Regina to our boss and another coworker
And so many more but, the most recent is her blaming me for not locking the doors at close when it was her that didn’t do it correctly, the alarm company called my boss at night and the cops came to our Joanns and everything. I have several eye witnesses watch her do it. I told my boss to watch the cameras because I have nothing to lie about and Regina still is trying to blame me. This is where I draw the line, I will not forgive her so easily this time. Forgiveness without changed behavior is just manipulation. I am not the only one who has complained about her, many of our coworker have switched their availability to when I work or when my boss works because they don’t want to deal with Regina. Tension is very high and I’m afraid of what is to come.

And so many more but, the most recent is her blaming me for not locking the doors at close when it was her that didn’t do it correctly, the alarm company called my boss at night and the cops came to our Joanns and everything. I have several eye witnesses watch her do it. I told my boss to watch the cameras because I have nothing to lie about and Regina still is trying to blame me. This is where I draw the line, I will not forgive her so easily this time. Forgiveness without changed behavior is just manipulation. I am not the only one who has complained about her, many of our coworker have switched their availability to when I work or when my boss works because they don’t want to deal with Regina. Tension is very high and I’m afraid of what is to come.
2024.05.16 05:45 Court152344777 Entitled coworker plays victim
Well, I didn’t think things would come this far or have to be like this. I want to start off by saying that I am not perfect, I do make plenty of mistakes and i will continue to make mistakes. I’m writing this because a coworker of mine decided to make a post about me and completely lied.
I work for Jo-Ann fabrics and I love it, I love the atmosphere and I love the people- the customers and coworkers. Well, except one. For privacy I will call her Regina because she acts like work is the mean girls movie. I started working for this company October of 2023, I was hired in as the full time key holder. I do have a four year old that goes to school and due to kids having germs my daughter was sick a lot so I did have to call in, I don’t have much help babysitter wise so I HAD to stay home to take care of her. I didn’t call in every other day it was like twice every so often. Regina didn’t like that and resented me for choosing to take care of my daughter rather than work, so she told our boss that she should have the position because she doesn’t have a kid and would be available more. Our boss talked to me so I sacrificed the position so she could have it, now I’m not mad, upset or jealous that I don’t have the full time position it’s just hard to make a living working part time hours only making 10.55 an hour. If I knew what was to come I would have NEVER sacrificed the full time position. I do have a steady babysitter now so I’m working as much as I can so I can provide for my daughters need, kids are expensive and my daughters birthday is coming up so I asked for extra hours.
Days after Regina and I switched positions she started to act like she was made out of gold, like a golden child would. She would ALWAYS rub it in my face that she now was the full time key holder and always bragged how much more an hour she makes. She would ask all of our coworkers what their pay was and then would tell them how much she makes. I don’t care how much she makes, though higher pay would make my living situation easier. I grew up poor so I already adapted to a life of poverty and I’m honestly okay with it, sometimes it’s harder than other times but I make it work with what I have. Money to me is just paper, I can’t take it to the grave with me. Regina stoped me in the back room and said “I hope your not mad” I asked “why would I be mad” Regina replied with “because I make way more money than you” I smiled “well, I honestly don’t care. I couldn’t care less about money” Regina’s face got sour and cold because she knew she wasn’t getting under my skin. She replied with “oh, I thought you were”. I chuckled and said “no” and continued what I was doing.
Some time goes where nothing was happening but I could feel that something was brewing. It was the calm before the storm is what I’d call it. Now around this time I was going through a break up and was not feeling the best in my own skin and Regina knew this and used it as her ammunition. She started to call me her fat friend and then gave me hugs, I felt awkward because I do not like to be touched due to some very tramatic events . I’m bigger, I’m not skinny but I’m also not severely obese. Regina started to poke me and grab my fat and jiggle it. The first time she did, it was in front of two other female coworkers. They weren’t nice either, I’ll call them Gretchen and Karen, they were all in on this. When Regina grabbed my fat and giggled it Gretchen and Karen watched and laughed. I asked Regina “what are you doing” she responded with “I just wanted to feel how squishy it is”. Me being a non confrontational person I say “oh, don’t do that” still being nice and smiling, though I felt what was left of my self esteem completely shatter. I brushed it off and walked up to where all three of the mean girls were to ask a question about work since I was the only one doing something. Before I could even ask the question Gretchen goes behind me, makes a fist and lightly punched my back fat making it jiggle. All the girls laugh, I could feel my face getting hot and tears forming in my eyes as my heart sank to my stomach. I went to the bathroom for a moment to gather myself. This would go one for weeks, and every time it happened I would ask her to stop or to leave me be, each time she disregarded what I asked. During this time she would tell every coworker that I was a bad worker, I didn’t do what I was supposed to and if I did I would do a horrible job. There are so many other things she has said to others one that hurt the most was her saying it was annoying that I talk about my daughter so much. Now this whole time I thought we were friends, I’m a very forgiving person and I’m super nice even to people who don’t deserve it so when I heard about everything she was saying I was hurt I was so confused because she even asked to be my daughters god mother though she was never in my daughters life. I know friends don’t treat friends like that but I was just happy I could call someone a friend after years of having no one due to becoming a mom and losing myself in motherhood. I call my kindness and willingness to forgive a blessing and a curse because it truly is.
After finding out about everything she was saying, the drama and the physical touching which is actually bulling and harassment I finally went to my boss. It took me almost two months to tell her what was going on and how I felt. I hated every second explaining the torment to her, my boss is a lovey person and is super sweet. I couldn’t imagine how she felt hearing all of this, I truly felt like I was going to puke. I was so uncomfortable I couldn’t bear to work any longer without the help of my boss. My boss did talk to Regina and she said that she seems like she will be better and will stop the nonsense. A day after she was talked to Regina poked my back fat and laughed, she was shocked at how I responded. This time I wasn’t nice I turned to her and pretty much yelled “don’t touch me” she immediately apologized. I was surprised with how I responded as well, I actually stood up for myself and it felt nice. I did tell my boss she touched me again so Regina was talked to again and was extremely pissed. She started acting really passive aggressive, avoiding me and slamming things and being rude to everyone even customers. Me, being the nice person I am I decided that I would forgive her. Dumb of me, I know. I wrote her a four or five page letter explaining how everything made me feel , how bad of a friend she was and that I would teach her how to be a good friend. I even bought her a candle and some other stuff along with the letter I went as far as going over to her house to help her clean. She cried a lot when she read the letter and cried to me saying how bad of a friend she was, I hugged her back and said that it was okay and I forgive her. After that is was okay for a while until I witnessed her take drinks without paying for them and told my boss. After this, it was like a war.
I have never gotten in trouble with anyone, anywhere with anything, I guess I’m a goodie-two-shoes. Though I do have anger problems I have found ways to cope and deal with my anger, I’ve been working really hard to not get angry at Regina even though she deserves to hear what the mama bear side of me wants to say. I want to be gentle, I want to be nice and forgiving, I don’t want to be angry. But I knew I had to set some sturdy boundaries in order to keep my sanity. These past few weeks have been hell, in summary I caught her talking bad about me to my boss, she was lying about me, blaming me and others for things we didn’t do. With one situation in particular she turned the tables , when hearing this my adrenaline started to course through my veins, I stared to shake so bad. I went up to her and told her that was not how the story went. She got so scared seeing me so mad and shaking. She apologized to our boss for lying but not to me, my other coworker helped me calm down and thank god she did because I was going to quit right there and then. To summarize other things she has done I will just list them -tried to frame another coworker for theft to the point the coworker cried to our boss -tried to take credit for the work I did -talks bad about other managers and workers in other stores -gave out the phone numbers and emails of our hr and of our boss’s boss -made me work off the clock to train new people because she didn’t want to train them -purposely trained me wrong and is hesitant with teaching me new things to the point my boss has to and when I learn she gets mad and jealous because she’s threatened by my work ethic -yelled at me in front of a customer to the point the customer came back to complain about Regina to our boss and another coworker

2024.05.16 05:40 beyonder710 Hi guys. I am the mod menu loser that keeps teleporting you across the map.
Before you become all judgy and diss me out here, I wanna say a few things..
First off Red dead Online is my whole life, I've got nothing going on in my life except this game...
My mom doesn't love me because I'm 23 years old and unemployed, living in her basement... She won't even enter my room because I haven't taken a bath since forever and I stink worse than a pig lying in trash...she basically hands me dinner out of the window like I'm some sort of prisoner locked in a cell.
I was bullied in school because a girl found me looking at hentai magazines in bathroom when the whole class was out playing sports and stuff.
They also called me a wierdoo just because I slept with a pillow that had my favourite anime character drawn on it...
My father was never around to teach me values and morals.
I'm a full fledged incel who has the power to repel any woman on this planet. Bullying others online is the only way I feel I'm in control of my life and I lash out online as a result of being bullied in school... I tried standing up against it but they beat me black and blue till I shat myself..
So I cause trouble online because then no one can touch me here.

You wanted to be a teacher? Well then TEACH. Students and everyone else learn a lot from failure. You can talk / complain all day long--ears closed. As soon as there are consequences for failure, leaving the classroom with a room full of naughty children, deadlines are not reached, parents are put off by poor results, management is caught with their pants down--ears open.
Now, do you have the spine inside you to reject punishment? Are you going to reject it and walk out the door, fight back, keep on with your talking points? To SAVE FACE, management will undoubtedly:
a) have a meeting in which they emote all over you, blame you for everything.
b) demand you come to work early/stay late to get said work done, without pay of course.
c) demand you go home and come back with the work completed, without sleep or pay of course.
d) threaten to withhold salary until objective is completed?
e) stink-eyes, sneers, passive-aggressive pouty behavior?
You don't need to throw chairs and getting into a big donnybrook about it (thank you Thesaurus.com). Stick to your talking points, "I'm not doing that, you didn't give us proper notice, there is no time in the day to do it, you aren't paying us overtime or actually anything at all" etc etc.. and if you really need to "Cross the Rubicon" (Thank you Wikipedia), you may have to go full Willy Wonka on their ass:
Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy:
I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained, et cetera, et cetera... Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum, et cetera, et cetera... Memo bis punitor delicatum!
It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks! You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day, sir!

Last year they fired 6 people and claimed financial reasons. On top of this they continued to hire foreign workers from overseas despite claiming financial troubles. Because management was so poor the place is leaking students and so the ones that stay get away with anything.--The first mistake is to trust anything that comes out of their mouths. If they tell me it's raining, I head for a window, open it, stick my hand out before I believe anything from these buffoons and their constant lies, misdirection, and propaganda. Find 5 things that you already know the answers to and that anyone in management / education ought to know, ask in a meeting, see what they say. It's fun, they know nothing about anything.

iGarten Seocho Banpo Apr 23. 2024
From the moment I signed with this school, warning signs were glaringly evident, but I was optimistic and brushed them off. However, in hindsight, those warning signals were clear indicators of what was to come. 2. Lack of leadership. 3. Lack of Communication breakdowns 4. Incoherent curriculum 7. Dishonesty and manipulation--Yup! That sounds like a Hagwon alright.
2. Lack of Leadership ...with those in charge either physically absent or lacking the awareness needed to foster accountability, communication, and organization.--This happens everywhere. The laziness is profound. Search bar: Hagwon Life:The Day They Refused to Pay Me. Floor manager playing games on computer, university students paying on their phones in the break room instead of working, and everything else wrong, broken, incomplete, wrong levels, bratty / undisciplined children, no one cares. Let the foreigners pull their hair out and deal with all the issues, the rest will sit back and do like the prisoners say, "Get over, get by." The answer is, follow them right out the door no matter what the reason is, stay with them until they come back. They leave, you leave.
Many times, Korean teachers are found either sitting in a corner of the room on their phones, taking selfies, or shopping, or they're outside the classroom engaging in gossip with the front desk or lunch staff.
3. Lack of communication (School Events) Even when management does inform us of an event, it's usually with minimal notice, often just a week or two in advance... (Science Fair) It's frustrating that management only takes action when faced with the threat of embarrassment, leaving teachers to pick up the slack with little support or guidance. (Report cards) The lack of communication extends to the crucial task of writing end-of-year report card comments. Shockingly, this important information was only relayed in the last week of school, not by management, but through hearsay from a veteran teacher.* This last-minute notification left teachers with minimal time to prepare thoughtful and personalized comments for each student.--The answer is, THEN DON'T DO IT! Why do the foreigners care more than the people who own the place? All you are teaching them when you put in double-overtime, scramble around like crazy, frantically quick-time it to get things done, don't get enough sleep or proper exercise/nutrition, do it for free at home, is that they learn to expect it from you again and again without consequences. They are as bad at education than anyone you will ever encounter on the planet. They have no idea about anything, ESPECIALLY how long it takes to plan and put together a good result. You can ask any one of them, "How long do you THINK it takes to add a worksheet or construct a lesson plan from scratch? And when do you think I will have time to finish it?" As the OP said, they don't do anything until there is a threat of embarrassment. Well then? Embarrass them and keep giving them the same talking points right from the beginning, "I don't have enough time, I don't work at home for free, everyone ignored my request for resources etc." In many cases, they do this out of disrespect to the foreigners, also they don't want to hear foreigners complain or adjust the instructions so they purposely try to run out the clock on them to keep them busy and quiet. A part of it is to see the foreigners stressed and fail. Yeah, really. They want it to fail. Give them what they want and let it collapse. Of course they blame it all on the foreigners, but just repeat your talking points and keep on repeating them. You get off topic, they'll keep jabbering in your face, you stay on topic they'll get frustrated and give up.....eventually.

2024.05.16 05:38 Sea-Ad3577 I need help understanding Matthew 10:34-37 please.
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.Based on this passage, what I understand is that it could be read literally or symbolically. Let me give you some examples:
If a family member (such as an unbelieving mother) is telling her son not to go to church, and the son respects his mother's view because he wants to keep peace in the family and avoid causing any conflicts, would this make him sin against God and be deemed unworthy of Jesus, as He says, and therefore not be saved?
Or...
If the son continues to believe in Jesus, maintains peace in the family by avoiding conflict, and does not deny Jesus, would Jesus still save him because of his faith in Christ?
Or...
Must the son not listen to his mother and go to church simply because it puts God first, regardless of whether it will strain the relationship between mother and son in order to be worth of Christ and therefore be saved?
So, is this teaching to be taken literally or symbolically, what's the correct perspective?
2024.05.16 05:34 Far-Photograph3812 Beginner tips?
My husband had gotten me (26F) into golf late last year I didn’t have much time to play so this year is kind of my first actual year…
I’ve done the driving range and have played short courses as well as longer ones. In my opinion I am fine putting and my driver is what it is, I can’t hit it as far as everyone else but I mostly top the ball with my irons and hybrids
My husband tries his best to teach me and he is very patient it’s just a little disheartening playing courses and feeling the need to apologize everytime I top a ball or not hit it as far as everyone else. I suppose everyone starts somewhere but I was hoping for some tips that could help me not top the ball as much. Hes been playing for years and I know this game requires a lot of patience but I’m becoming frustrated with myself
Is there any mental tips you use when playing? Or anything you keep in mind before swinging? Also, how to avoid topping the ball when using irons and hybrids? I’ve tried moving them up and back in my stance but it seems I’m still topping it either way. I love the game, I want to eventually become okay enough that I don’t feel the need to apologize and sit some holes out

2024.05.16 05:23 Difficult-Koala466 Bullied til breaking point at school. Not a child, me.
Fairly new teacher(~5 yrs if I add FT+PT) here, brand new school this year. Not by choice because when there's a surplus of teachers in the same license area in one school, they shuffle the newbies around the district until we find a new home school on our own. I was shuffling around and settled for this new school. Biggest mistake of my career yet. I've always been rated as a highly effective teacher prior to coming to this school.
From the first day, I knew I had fallen victim to the principal's marketing tactics. This place was nothing as she depicted as—inclusive, loving, rigorous, built on relationships and one big family............
I took over the class 3 months into the school year because the person who had the position before me put in for a leave and then quit to never return. Red flag here, but I wasn't aware of how the position came about until after I was hired.
Parents are the worst I've seen. They encourage their kids to eavesdrop on adult convo and to report back. They incentivize their children to not follow the classroom rules. They openly talk badly of their children's teachers in front of the children. When the children "get in trouble" at school, they do not give a single flying fuck because they know their parents will ask the teacher, "What did YOU do do make my child do that?" Children have no opinion of their own until they go home and their parents feed them what to say then come back the next day like a brand new kid just regurgitating what their parents told them to say.
Principal has the EQ of a rock, borderline sociopath with no real substance or knowledge of anything. Passive aggressive on a day to day basis and when she's in her mood, everyone needs to get out of her way and stay out of her way for their own safety. Absolute minimal classroom experience, not even in the grade levels she's overseeing now.
The parents and principals don't like each other and I have fallen victim to their BS. The parents discussed among themselves that it'll be hard to get rid of the principal so they decided to nitpick me. It actually started with the person that was covering the leave before me and now the arrow has been shifted to me since I took over.
I've been accused of verbal abuse on several accounts for enforcing classroom rules, consequences, and accountability. For example, I've asked a child to think about how their behavior affects others. The child got upset and went home to tell mom I made them mad. Parent calls to complain of verbal abuse for belittling their child. Incompetent principal sides with parent and put a letter in my file. Another example, I asked a child to write neatly so I can read their work. Parent complained that I did not provide support besides saying write neater. WHAT SUPPORT DO I GIVE IF THE CHILD IS DELIBERATELY WRITING ILLEGIBLY?? I'm not asking the child to do what they are incapable of. I'm asking them to do write normally as they did before their mom told them, "It's not your fault your teacher can't read your handwriting." Another example is when a child openly disrespected an adult in school. I spoke to them in a stern tone that it is inappropriate. I turned the incident into a teaching moment for the entire class. I got written up for making poor judgement because the child said, "The teacher made me sad when I ______."
This has to be a dream right???? A nightmare!! And my principal is happy to write me up for all of this because if she sides with me, the target is back on her. So as long as I'm the scapegoat, she's happy to keep writing me up. And when she's in one of her moods and it's my turn to take the hit, she'll bring up things we've spoken about and resolved from months ago and write me up.
I started seeing a therapist this year because our jobs are difficult as is already without having to deal with stupid shit like this. I've been screaming in my car before walking into work. I've been crying through lunch for weeks. Being a teacher was hard but I enjoyed the work that I did until I came to this school. My self esteem has plummeted and I don't even believe in myself anymore. I can't sleep, I can't eat, but I still have to go to work tomorrow and pretend like nothing's wrong.
I don't know how to get through the rest of the school year (even though theres only a month an a half left) and with my depleted mental health, I don't know how I can confidently interview at new schools. I feel like this principal would rather keep me at her school to torment me and let me be the punching bag than let me go to another school and be happy. Even if she wanted me to leave, she's not smart enough to just be a decent reference so that we can all just move on with our lives.
Any advice would be helpful. It's almost midnight and I can't sleep... I got another email from one of the bullying parents... I just want this nightmare to end...

2024.05.16 05:17 willymack888 Commercial Pilot at ATP needing some desperate advice with CFI
I am at ATP in Texas and recently passed my commercial checkride and have been in “CFI academy” for a couple weeks now. I passed all my checkrides first try up to this point and feel like my knowledge is pretty good. With that said, I feel like I am garbage at teaching especially with the fast track ATP CFI set up. My CSI instructor is checked out he has about 20 hours until he hits 1500. I’ve had zero guidance and no ground time with him and we only get three flights before our mock checkride. I am scared I’m going to be deferred and don’t know what my options are if that happens. Looking for some advice. Did I just throw away 100k if I can’t get my CFI? I have been there 12+ hours a day and can’t sleep and have knots in my stomach every minute I am there. It has sucked all the enjoyment out of aviation for me and I’m worried about what comes next. If anyone has been through this or has any advice it would be much appreciated.

2024.05.16 05:17 Goddess_personified Help
I will be a first time teacher this upcoming August but I struggle with intense DPDR. Generally, I feel disconnected and just like I’m going through the motions and I’m not sure how I’m gonna be able to teach and interact and worst of all be in the bright lights of the classroom all day , if I’m barely holding it together internally . I rely heavily on sunglasses when I go out as a seems to help me visually, but I cannot wear sunglasses in the classroom so I am really at a loss on what to do . I want to be able to give my all this school year to my students but I’m really not sure how I’m gonna be able to do that but my symptoms with D but I’m really not sure how I’m gonna be able to do that but my symptoms with DPDR are daily and can come at any random time.

2024.05.16 05:11 Flashy_Fisherman2597 What were they thinking when they decided to give egg moves to trainers?
I am stuck on the first elite four member because she has shit that starts throwing out shit like Astral Barrage out of nowhere. Her Drifblim has Oblivion Wing and one shots so much stuff on my team and then heals itself back to full. How the hell am I supposed to deal with this? I have a normal type but it isn't hitting hard enough to OHKO her team. I'm so cooked
Edit: I also want to add that not being able to immediately teach new captures moves with TMs or the mushroom is absolute garbage. I understand you can't have everything, but I have gone 100 floors without a single useful TM and all of my Pokémon I caught later on have already capped out on useful moves they can get from the mushrooms. I'm dying for something better than Psybeam or Water Pulse for coverage on my sweepers!

2024.05.16 05:07 Brandonc5102 Is it okay to back out of a contract before the year starts?
Hi everyone,
Unfortunately I was laid off this school year and the district I'm currently in won't be renewing my contract for next year. Luckily it is on good terms and I have good letters of rec from all of my admin.
My situation is I have an offer from Job A, which is fine but I'm not crazy about and I will need to give them an answer soon as to if I'm accepting. But I'm also aware of a Job B that will be opening which is sort of my dream position.
Would it be really unprofessional to accept Job A, sign on so that I'm financially secure for the Fall, and then apply to Job B anyways? I don't think Job B's application process will take me into the Fall, so is there anything I should be concerned about backing out of a job contact I've signed if the school year hasn't started yet?
Any advice appreciated m(27), only in my first few years teaching.

2024.05.16 05:04 Lingo2009 Feeling discouraged
When I started teaching a few years ago, I imagined myself teaching for several years at the same school, and in the same grade. I imagined that the first couple of years I would be ironing out the kinks. And by the third or fourth year I would be able to be more creative and have a lot of fun with my students because I would know the curriculum really well and I would know the school etc. But I’ve worked at several different schools now, not of my own choosing. So I feel like I have to start over each time. And starting over each time is exhausting. I have a potential opportunity to teach at another new school. However, it’s a vastly different grade than I have ever taught. So everything will be very new. And I worry about preparing materials, developing lessons, etc. because what if I have to move again? I guess I’m just feeling defeated. Because I know there’s a chance that I could teach this different grade, and then later transfer to a grade that I’m more familiar with. But then I don’t wanna waste my time creating materials that are going to last because what if I have to move or what if I don’t stay with that grade?

2024.05.16 04:55 nikitamere1 end of year parent IEP rage
I'm only a perm sub (with an LBS, so I'm covering the caseload of a sped teach who is on an LOA) but I've gotten 2 days in a row of parent rage emails (other people cc'd too). First was a parent lashing out at a language teacher for "ruining the family's Mother's Day" with a cooking project that the student had completely misunderstood as a final (me personally? Wouldn't allow a teacher to ruin my Mother's Day. Kiddo, you've got an hour or 2 to work on this project, then we're gonna email the teacher and try to negotiate a grade adjustment or late turn in due to unclear rubric/expectations). Today it was a parent raging that "the IEP is not being enforced" bc his kid is failing an AP class...he hasn't turned in a project due from beginning of April. I go and meet with the teacher, who is LITERALLY EMBEDDING ALL THE ACCOMMODATIONS INTO THE WHOLE CLASS. Like Teach is doing UbD and best practices for backwards planning. Constant check ins, etc. I call the parent thinking this will be easier over the phone...20 mins later, seems like it's all setttled...then I get a whiny email from mom. Does she say, "Could you please help us with this?" Nope. Just blame game about how the school is making the assumption her son can do it on his own and he really needs more support. No acknowledgement that the son is not turning things in, when his supported study hall asks how his project is going he says "fine," etc. It's beyond me how parents can treat school employees like shit and expect good service but are we maybe perpetuating it by cowtowing to their demands? With both these kids, the issues had NOTHING to do with the IEP. Once these parents see the danger of an F they go nuclear and blame game and "we're gonna sue." And...chortle...was this brought up at the annual review meetings a month ago? In case of student one, where the very language teacher was present? OF COURSE NOT! Why parents think it's ok to lash out at teachers I do not understand. I just interviewed for a more full time sped position at this school but maybe I don't want it after all.
How do y'all deal with parents like this? Is there a way to be basically polite but also set boundaries? I'm aghast, but also don't want to get in trouble for being perceived as abrasive.

2024.05.16 04:55 No-Replacement-7475 “AITX Announces Its Breakthrough AIR™ (Autonomous Intelligent Response) Technology”
AI-Based Innovation Available Soon in RAD and RAD-R Solutions
Detroit, Michigan, May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (AITX) (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), is pleased to announce the biggest technology innovation it has ever developed which it is calling Autonomous Intelligent Response, abbreviated to AIR. AIR is the inevitable evolution of the Company’s Autonomous Remote Services (ARS) paradigm by harnessing newly developed technological innovations to deliver intelligent human-like response in every applicable surveillance camera and RAD device.
“It’s like having the best possible remote video operator watching every camera with unblinking eyes and ready to apply best practices for engagement in an instant,” said Steve Reinharz, AITX CEO & CTO. “Imagine having a security operations center at the edge in every device, that’s AIR. This massively enhances our ability to identify and deter dangerous and costly events in addition to a myriad of other solutions.”
The significance of this development has prompted the Company to update the AITX Mission Statement.
AIR will be utilized throughout all AITX subsidiaries and made available for licensing in the future. For Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), this means the Generation 4 RAD devices and software (ROSA™, RIO™, AVA™, ROSS™) will be fully AIR-capable. AIR will also be the software backbone for RADCam™ from subsidiary RAD-R, providing home security performance levels not currently known to be available in the marketplace.
AIR’s autonomy allows AIR-based security devices to monitor environments, detect anomalies, and respond to potential threats without the need for constant human oversight. By reducing reliance on human resources, AIR not only enhances efficiency and lowers operational costs but also ensures continuous, uninterrupted protection, even in the most dynamic and complex scenarios.
Additionally, AIR-enabled systems can initiate visual and audible alarms, alert authorities, and lock doors in real-time, providing a level of responsiveness that is both faster and more accurate than traditional security systems. This rapid response capability is crucial in mitigating risks and preventing incidents before they escalate, ensuring that security measures are always one step ahead of potential threats.
Reinharz continued, “The introduction of AIR represents our unwavering commitment to advancing security and facility management through cutting-edge technology. Stay tuned for more updates and detailed insights into how AIR will redefine the landscape of intelligent security solutions.”
The Company noted that it is making preparations for the first AIR demonstrations in the next few weeks which will be available on the AITX YouTube channel.
The forthcoming release of AIR marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of corporate security and facility management. As businesses and organizations face increasingly sophisticated security challenges along with budget constraints, AIR enables transformative solutions that will combine autonomy, intelligence, and responsiveness.
AITX, through its subsidiaries, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), RAD-R, RAD-M and RAD-G is redefining the $25 billion (US) security and guarding services industry through its broad lineup of innovative, AI-driven Solutions-as-a-Service business model. RAD solutions are specifically designed to provide cost savings to businesses of between 35%-80% when compared to the industry’s existing and costly manned security guarding and monitoring model. RAD delivers these tremendous cost savings via a suite of stationary and mobile robotic solutions that complement, and at times, directly replace the need for human personnel in environments better suited for machines. All RAD technologies, AI-based analytics and software platforms are developed in-house.

teachers all over Tik toks some of them that have been teaching for decades saying Gen Alpha is falling behind and they cannot read or write because they say some of them don't even have a proper English vocabulary and when the teachers take their phones away when they misbehave they breakdown and have temper tantrums pr even sometimes even assaults teachers because of it and many teachers say that 7th graders have the reading level of a 4th greater and that's the majority of them and the percentage of Gen Alpha kids falling School is about 66% it's like 2/3 of all Gen Alpha that is i Falling school, which is much higher than the previous generations
And also Gen Alpha becomes addicted to social media and develop depression at much younger ages than previous generations, and also, they have no awareness of their surroundings and There have been tons of other studies. Gen Alpha is not okay
and here's a video that shows evidence I found https://youtu.be/u0YXBkKQnQA?si=rYsRjYWTU7AYQPbx
So please let's bot have our kids end up like them

2024.05.16 04:47 Baby_shookys I decided to leave teaching and I feel like I failed.
After 3 years as a classroom teacher (after teaching English in a foreign country and teaching ECE for 6 years collectively) I'm so fed up with this profession and I decided for my own long-term mental health to leave and do something else. At first after I made the decision all I felt was relief, but I'm starting to feel like I'm a failure - like I couldn't hack it. Has anyone else who's left the profession felt that way? How did you combat it? TIA, and thanks for listening.
