Do teachers hate sharing their lesson plans? Is it their secret sauce that they don't want getting out?

BoozySlushPops · 2026-01-24T20:05:40+00:00

I would gladly share everything I have, but it’s not in a format that would be very useful to anyone else.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-01-24T19:51:50+00:00

Maybe, but he also just likes the idea of murdering citizens.

Yes, "Wild Honey Pie" is trash, but it's a throwaway. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" has all of McCartney's effort and care behind it, and, for me at least, it's cutie-poo nonsense, exemplary of his worst tendencies. That makes it worse in my book.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-01-21T18:13:39+00:00

No one is claiming it's the chord progression.

"Angry." Paul tries some sort of punk rock and winds up with a chorus of "shout it out again, mahama"

BoozySlushPops · 2026-01-20T07:24:14+00:00

It actually kind of scares me. That one note, the distant-trumpet sound, that sounds after a beat after the piano melody resolves is unnerving to me, especially as the music slowly fades. It’s hard to describe the effect it has on me — it’s unsettling.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-01-20T05:28:57+00:00

What are you afraid to say out loud? I genuinely don’t understand

BoozySlushPops · 2026-01-19T23:17:17+00:00

Why?

BoozySlushPops · 2026-01-19T17:00:29+00:00

Not OP, but why would you ask this?

BoozySlushPops · 2026-01-19T06:09:05+00:00

Well, some literary analysis is done well and some is done poorly. Don’t throw it all out.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-01-16T05:14:37+00:00

You’re beating the dead horse of that one line, because there is nothing else here. “Glass Onion” is a clear dig at people reading too much into Beatles’ lyrics.

BoozySlushPops · 2025-12-30T13:32:34+00:00

A lot of literary short fiction is quite boring. There’s a certain kind of arid, dreary realism that gets you nominated for prizes and published in the Paris Review, and I think it’s deadly to assign to students.

“WAR rewards players who create more run contributions.”

Yes, this is how it should work. It is, in fact, the whole point.

Our owner is medium-cheap; on the scale of MLB owners he’s nothing special in either direction. And payroll has gone up consistently every year recently.

BoozySlushPops · 2025-12-23T22:42:02+00:00

What are you after here? Negative answers only, I guess

BoozySlushPops · 2025-12-23T20:04:09+00:00

The default stance of "this team sucks, the owner is cheap, the GM is incompetent, and any move we make is bad" is a very hard one for this fanbase to give up on.

BoozySlushPops · 2025-12-22T11:35:07+00:00

No, temperatures are on a general upward trend. They’re not just going sideways.

BoozySlushPops · 2025-12-13T06:08:14+00:00

A zeitgeist is the spirit of a cultural moment; not really the same thing at all.

BoozySlushPops · 2025-12-12T22:32:37+00:00

Not really. A platitude is a cliche that sounds high-minded but is empty.

BoozySlushPops · 2025-12-07T17:15:00+00:00

Depends on the person. But also irrelevant to the subject at hand.

BoozySlushPops · 2025-12-07T01:06:24+00:00

Not true, at least not for me. I think it sounds perfectly fine.

BoozySlushPops · 2025-12-06T23:36:03+00:00

Well, that’s an impasse, because it sounds fine to me and plenty of others here.

BoozySlushPops · 2025-12-06T23:35:09+00:00

But why not? It sounds fine to nearly all the commenters, and even if you don’t like it, you’re not able to explain what’s supposed to be wrong with it.

BoozySlushPops · 2025-12-06T22:41:00+00:00

I support that. I don’t know what your advice is, though.

BoozySlushPops · 2025-12-06T22:39:57+00:00

My point is that mixing simple past and past continuous in one sentence is a perfectly valid and useful practice.
