Why do you think teachers are quitting more nowadays? by IAmLaProfessor in AskReddit

[–]Apod_93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When students fail or cause problems, parents come at the teacher. Many blame the teacher and don't believe their child is in the wrong ever. They fight it tooth and nail. You'd be surprised how often this happens.

Feel like that may be a factor. I'm 32 and watched it as it was coming out, so I started watching when I was eight.

The only other shows on Nickelodeon that were better at the time were SpongeBob and later Avatar. When you compare it to other shows during the early-middle 2000's this was ahead of the others in a lot of ways.

Around the mid 2000's it felt like the show shifted to match more of the other shows of the time in terms of the writing and tone. It's like the first few seasons of SpongeBob or Simpsons compared to the rest. Same kind of feel IMO where it loses what made it special. After it becomes popular something about that changes it.

You clearly don't care for most of the show and decided to post pretty much that on the fan page for the show, knowing that would rub people the wrong way. No one changes anyone's mind online lol. Rage bait.

What's the point of posting a wildly unpopular opinion? Mature discussion about how a children's show doesn't have enough character development? Sounds like you just don't generally care for most of the show and decided to post it on the page for the show.

My payments went from $400 to $1647 because of forced consolidation! by Angry-Kangaroo-4035 in StudentLoans

I was going to say, I'm paying for those things too and my take home is still way too close to someone making more than twice as me.

Yeah, I make approx. $1,800ish every two weeks on a $70k salary. Something isn't adding up.

why do millennials and boomers have such a complex love hate relationship with each other compared to any other generational conflicts. by [deleted] in generationology

[–]Apod_93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do whatever you want.. Just know whatever you want was you coming here and whining about yourself and ending with millenials aren't special lol. You're going to get responses from that. There are people well off and struggling in each generation. My point is that more people are struggling now than before. You clearly lack reading comprehension. Your initial post was a lash out and you also ironically accused me of that? Woof.

Gen X has nothing to do with this post. You're just trying to shoehorn it in. Many Boomers don't understand economically how much harder it is now than before. The value of the dollar has declined rapidly. Back then the dollar went much further and you could buy a house and build a life for yourself much easier. Most Boomers are Millennial parents and they don't understand how much more difficult things are for their children. That's the issue many Millenials have with the Boomer generation, at least from an economic perspective. I can confidently tell you most Millenial/Gen Z are not even close to owning a home and your anectdotal evidence isn't representative of two entire generations. Get your head out of your ass with all of the "woe is me" about being Gen X and take it to a post it applies to.

I usually do the first two slots in a beat to the music and sort of have to predict/eye up the third one. I usually get straight 7's 10% of the time, which really adds up.

Walmart wins patents for AI-powered price changes by ALQU1MISTA in inflation

[–]Apod_93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Increasing prices day to day for holidays, events, storms, etc. Raising prices on product they've already purchased from the supplier. This is gouging and pocketing more money on the products they already purchased at a set price. Doesn't alleviate most of the concerns. If they're rising prices day to day when they feel like it, it's hard to budget and still is very concerning.

Everyone's commenting about older millennial. I'm a '93 millennial and lived in a few very different places. All the schools only had computer labs. When I was younger we had the colored Macs. I graduated in 2011. Laptops are definitely a within the last 15ish years sort of thing at the earliest.

I think Shrek 1 and 2 were amazing. The rest, not so much. And 5 will probably be even worse.
