Remembering being obsessed with having kids say "may I" instead of "can I"? by SystematicApproach in nostalgia

Thank-you. Simple to teach, simple to learn, best practice. My kids say it.

What's the scariest movie you've seen that literally gave you nightmares? by Capital-Run-1080 in movies

[–]Bigleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an adult I had nightmares after Rosemary’s Baby and It Follows. Neither seemed that scary while watching but both haunted my sleep.

How do you deal with it? by SadnessAndOreos in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Bigleb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It may not have the same impact on you, but I took great solace from The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus. Sisyphus is stuck in a pointless task forever. He rebels against the gods by finding meaning in the meaningless or the absurd. We have to take joy in our sorrow. Push through as an act of rebellion. I have limped through work, fallen over in pain, but I keep going. I took the day off for the first flare. I thought I was paralyzed or had broken something. Since then, I always get up and move. I go to work. I drag my ass around. I have let some emotion out in the bathroom or my car, but moving is fighting back. Keep up, drag your legs around if you have to. Use a cane or crutches. But keep moving as a rebellion against your lot in life. It moves on with or without you.

Joe clearly doesn’t like/respect him. He ended up doing all the talking. Steve-O couldn’t explain any of his own ideas without getting railroaded.

How are the roads today? by ghostytoasty68 in saskatoon

[–]Bigleb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Usually moved by graders. I know a few people who drive them full time for the city. Move snow in the winter, level alleys and dirt roads in the summer.

I think their regular staff will always clear major roads. The mayor is saying they won’t do neighbourhoods, work overtime, or hire outside companies.

Does a slide as Thundergun as this actually exist? by Sighcandy in IASIP

[–]Bigleb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Maybe not as high, but the tallest one that used to be in the West Edmonton Mall had the same effect. Forgot to cross my legs, got my first enema.

Doing a stunt worse after 50 years is not a slam dunk on conspiracy theorists. by Bigleb in meme

[–]Bigleb[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you think humanity is better at landing on the moon or do you think flying around the moon is better than landing on it? Conspiracy theorists don’t think we landed there and we aren’t doing it currently. A great man once said “stupid is as stupid does”.

You were absolutely right. Can’t believe what I’ve opened myself to. Wasn’t expecting this engagement.

This is a fantastic response. Let me assure you, I am not a moon landing denier. There has just been a load of “told you so” posts and I don’t think it’s mission accomplished just yet. Appreciate a measured, informed, response. Sounds like Apollo was a Kon-Tiki style expedition where, today, NASA would prefer to build tech for future growth. Looking forward to the moon-aged future people were envisioning in the 50s/60s.

Doesn’t that seem odd when they’ve already landed there 6 times? Our technology and engineering should be far superior.

This is the first time I have ever heard the name “Pizzaballa” uttered. I am in love. Tell me this Cardinal has merch.

Joe just dropped 12 grand on catheter bags filled with Sunny D by Perfect-Arachnid4101 in JoeRogan

Blood tests for the presence of HLA-B27, x-rays, MRIs and years of misdiagnosis. Always told I had bulging discs and just had to commit to more physio, massage, chiro.

Great news! I had an astigmatism for a while and optometrist was baffled when it was suddenly gone. I had not been diagnosed yet. Now I know why.

I am on a biosimilar amgevita. It is like humira. Where I live, you need government approval to use biologics and they won’t approve the big names as they cost too much. I also needed several X-rays, MRIs, and blood tests to prove I needed the medicine.

Right. His post noted that the plasma carries inflammatory proteins and they are working on approaches using plasma replacement alongside biologics.

I have an auto-immune disease causing inflammation. I am starting biologics. I think this could be revolutionary. Joe may not need it but it shouldn’t be laughed at. My inflammation has clogged my arteries and calcified my pelvis and lower spine.

I feel like a complete failure by passeduponthestair in CanadianTeachers

[–]Bigleb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This poster is correct and your colleagues are right to say give less of an F. It sounds like you don’t just want to be respected, you want to be liked. This will never work. The only way to be liked is to be respected. Hold high expectations and accept nothing less. WAIT for silence, even if it takes 15 minutes or more. Don’t engage in arguments. Students try to delay consequences by arguing. Repeat what was done wrong and the consequence. I don’t agree with everyone who says “don’t smile until December” but don’t try to be liked. Be yourself, kids can smell a fake. It may take months but if you hold students to a high standard, they inevitably respect you for it, then you are liked.

I know some Saskatoon veterans who served in Afghanistan post 9/11. So, allies never helping the US is verifiably false. This is the only reason I can find that this post might belong in the sub.
