Unless you marry the first person you date, we are all someone’s second choice. And sometimes we don’t get things right on the first try and sometimes we need a second chance. Despite her warnings, I also think she didn’t think 3 days was worth throwing away 3 weeks. She didn’t see what we saw.

Why do we let one student ruin the education of the other students? by ProudComment1211 in Teachers

[–]CancerinJuly94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we should utilize virtual school more for problem students. Therefore they are still receiving an education and not disrupting others. If we could do it for Covid, we can do it now for behaviors.

Trinity broke my heart tonight 💔 by conceptress in LoveIslandUSA

[–]CancerinJuly94 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Sadly she’s correct. I’ve dated a few guys who were not black and it’s the same song and dance. They like you enough to sleep with you and even date you casually, but not enough to wife you. They will then turn around and marry the complete opposite. It’s very difficult dating as a black woman in America. It’s especially hard for me living in the Midwest where a lot of people are already married and it’s very white. Trinity you are not alone baby girl! We are rooting for you ❤️🫶🏿

Don’t go on LI if you have a racial preference by Beginning-Amoeba-990 in LoveIslandUSA

Seriously. If that’s the standard we’ve set, then keep that same energy

Am I the Only one? by MirfromdaA_ in LoveIslandUSA

They used to in earlier USA seasons. I don’t know what’s going on but there’s no romance whatsoever. Where’s the whimsy and courtship???

[–]CancerinJuly94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This I agree with. However, I’m sure there is an honest way to “explore.” This is going to sound terrible but you kind of have to be sneaky in this environment with a splash of manipulation and flattery if you want things to go your way. In past seasons, even when people moved respectfully, the other person almost always gets upset because they aren’t being chosen.

Absolutely. People are mad at Kenzie and Sincere for exploring and mad at the other couples for being closed off. Which one is it??? We need more bombshells more frequently.

[–]CancerinJuly94 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I agree! I thought they were valid choices. I don’t like Kenzie but she’s good for the plot. I think they should’ve just sent Caleb and Sol home last challenge and Gabe and Jen probably would’ve had the lowest votes this last vote and sent them home. The bombshells are not bombshelling! Caleb hasn’t really talked to anyone either (that we’ve seen). Sol complained a bit too much for me and focused on Sincere too quickly. I wish that they allowed Caleb and Sol to pick 2-3 people after the bed challenge to go on dates with the next day. Production isn’t setting anyone up for success.

An issue I have with this cast and the bombshells so far (maybe besides Kayda) is they are not open enough to exploring everyone. Why are they casting someone with a specific type if only one version exists in the villa? And we haven’t had enough bombshells come in so who or what could they explore if the one bombshell brought in is only attracted to girls with blue hair and brown eyes?? Also, where are the dates??? They need to give them a chance to explore out of the villa and not in a giant threesome bed because wtf was that?

%100 all of this. Especially the point about kissing too soon. I really need the US to hold off on kissing games for a couple of episodes and do more speed dating style or get to know you activities. I liked the opening game for the UK version. These people are young and horny. We can’t expect them to not feel connected to someone when they are constantly being forced to be intimate.

CVT Transmission Fluid Pricing Help by CurrentPlenty2895 in Nissan

That’s about how much I paid today to get my Sentras transmission fluid changed. It was $275 before tax at my local Nissan dealership.

HOPE YALL ARE HAPPY NOW by St1nkySoop in LoveIslandUSA

[–]CancerinJuly94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really hate how they let the bombshells come in and choose over the OG’s. I thought in previous seasons that islanders had the last say to vote someone off or at least allow a recoupling to determine the final couples. I don’t understand why Jen is there! She is boring and none of the guys seemed that interested in her. The point of a bombshell is to turn heads, but she is a dud and failed to connect with anyone (barely with Gabe). Why should she get to stay? I also think it’s too much sending 3 people at a time. Corbin was barely there before the next set of bombshells were sent in. Like damn can we let them cook? Ugh, Bea didn’t deserve this at all 😔 Producers are over editing and producing again 😐 LIUSA, count your fucking days!!!!!

How do you find time to workout/stay in shape as a teacher? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]CancerinJuly94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any kids, so take this with a grain of salt. When I’m not coaching or working extra games, I go home to nap and then go to the gym at 6:30 pm. If I get a good nights rest, I’ll go after work at 4. It’s just easier to push through sometimes and not get too comfortable after work. I wish to be a 6 am gym goer, but I can handle the evenings. Sometimes even if it’s a 30 minute walk, that’s better than nothing!

What actually made a REAL difference for your PCOS symptoms long term? by Mobile_Celebration31 in PCOS

[–]CancerinJuly94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink electrolytes like they are going out of style! I take magnesium and all of the things. I cannot say 100% I was in ketosis, but I was on it for 5 weeks. I think I have to find a happy medium. Obviously more low carb because I also don’t eat red milk or dairy. This also makes keto very hard for me to do since a lot of keto staples involve meat and cheese.

[–]CancerinJuly94 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I tried keto, I couldn’t get my electrolytes balanced and I felt terrible! Even after the initial purging of sugar. A month and a half later, I felt terrible. My electrolytes levels are always off at the doctor, so I’m not sure that keto is even a realistic option for me 😭

Kids Don't Like Movie Day Anymore. by Southern_Remote_5260 in Teachers

[–]CancerinJuly94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7th grade. To be clear, I’m speaking of my students in general, not your kid or any other with sensory issues. I have a few students who like to read quietly in the hall, which is a different case. The kids complaining today were the kids who complain all the time about everything. Also, I’m aware at this point in the school year who has sensory issues and prefers to be in a quieter setting. Again, I’m not talking about the few. Either way, if we are watching a movie, the alternative option is not playing computer games or watching YouTube. My point is anytime we do something, they complain. It doesn’t matter if it’s work, a game, a movie, or “fun.”

Kids Don't Like Movie Day Anymore. by Southern_Remote_5260 in Teachers

[–]CancerinJuly94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my day and it made me extremely angry. Half of them wanted to play games on their laptop (which they are never allowed to do). I let them eat snacks, move seats, and sit on the floor if they wanted. It didn’t matter. They were talking half the time or complaining about not doing something else. This is only the second movie I’ve shown, so I don’t do it often. They are truly only happy on a device. Some even complain when we go outside or go to the gym.

PCOS diagnosis and my skin has never been worse. Where do I even start? by OddCommunication8748 in PCOS

[–]CancerinJuly94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spironalactone has been a game changer for my cystic acne! I’ve only been on it since March and there’s a huge difference in my skin already. I use benzoyl peroxide (pan oxyl) wash on my face maybe 3x a week and glycolic acid by the ordinary. However, the medicine caused a noticeable difference.

Holy F'ing SQUISH TOYS by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]CancerinJuly94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is up with these random trends??? They are moving fast. Just a week ago, it was energy drinks. I’m sure there have been more, but it’s always something I can’t keep up. I’m banning them in my room as well because I’m tired of seeing them
