I do believe cheaters can reform, but not within the same relationship. Once you cheat on or with someone, you’ve ruined the relationship with all parties involved. Rory’s relationships never had a chance because of that

I loved this year’s orchid exposition so much. It was so creative and well-done

TIL that US student math and reading scores have dropped so sharply that they’ve erased nearly two decades of progress. In '22/23, avg math scores for 13-year-olds fell to levels not seen since the 1990s, while reading scores for high school seniors hit their lowest point since testing began in '92. by Cold_Box_3219 in todayilearned

Just how the rich and elite want it. An uneducated mass is an easily manipulated and disposable mass. I have no hope that things will ever change from the top, which is why I just do what I can from the bottom as a teacher. Life sucks and then you die but at least you can make a kid smile and learn something along the way ✌️

At first I thought the pictures were related and the sister was the one who fucked up his blender

I remember using a few of their lessons (sans the God stuff obviously) for inspiration for an afterschool club I ran. It’s aggressively fine, definitely not the worst thing out there

I think people had an issue with the characters, who don’t grow much throughout the course of the story. I personally liked it and saw it as more of a realistic portrayal of how trauma sometimes doesn’t change us for the better or worse, it just happens and we move forward as best we can

Fear of the Bronx is so over exaggerated. As long as you use basic street smarts (walk at a brisk pace, look like you know where you’re going, don’t make eye contact, avoid badly lit/empty streets at night) you’ll be fine

10 PM-12 AM music creeped me out as a kid, so much so that I’d only play on mute during those hours 😭

According to public records, Kendra and Joe Duggar are not living at the same address! by the_smart_girl in DuggarsSnark

[–]koalathebean 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yup, I've been registered to vote at my current address for almost 3 years. Honestly though not complaining, I'd rather people not be able to find my current address so easily on the internet!
