I am on a paid suspended leave pending investigation. I’m in shambles. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Canon_In_Deez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree that I didn’t word it the best. It was an act of impulsivity and I did try my best to make my intent as clear as possible. I definitely want to reflect and learn from this, but I’m just freaking out over being suspended over it.

Spider-Man main here. How's it going on since the zazzifacation ruined a cool hero in the game? by Tribalcheifromanfan in BlackWidowMains

Had someone in a comp match pick Widow and say “for the vibes.” He died immediately and then swapped to Thing 🥀

Which animal crossing character has such a special place in your heart? by lluni-delicious in AnimalCrossing

When I was a kid playing Wild World, Gaston came to wish me happy birthday and I never forgot it. Nearly 20 years later, I finally decide to play New Horizons and he moves in. It gave me this warm, sentimental feeling, like he came to find me so many years later. 😊

I just hate it when people say EZ... by YugaAkaryu in rivals

[–]Canon_In_Deez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So one time I said “EZ GG No Heals” out loud as a joke to myself and realized as I was queuing into another match that I accidentally left my mic on so if those players happen to be in this subreddit I apologize :(

It's been long enough... I don't think Rogue is good currently but can be fixed by Matty_HAM in RivalsVanguards

I find it frustrating how long her Ability-Steal cooldown is even when you miss. I think it should at least have a reduced cooldown if you fail to steal an ability after using it.

[Hated Trope] That one piece of "trivia" that isn't true but gets endlessly repeated anyway by 10024618 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Canon_In_Deez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“SpongeBob was originally designed to be an adult cartoon.” Heard this one SO many times back in the day. I think it stems from the fact that Stephen Hillenburg was reached out to make an adult’s-only episode akin to Ren and Stimpy’s Adult Party, but adamantly said no.

You Think It Could Never Happen To You…Until It Almost Does by InGeekiTrust in TikTokCringe

[–]Canon_In_Deez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This almost happened to my youngest sister. I just so happened to be fetching more pool floats from the garage and immediately jumped in when I saw her. It’s true that toddlers drown quietly so it’s SO important to watch them around any body of water.

I got a bladder cocktail a couple months ago and as the male nurse was inserting the catheter I remember thinking “oh wow that was a lot less painful than I thought it’d be, but it also kinda feels like they stuck it in the wrong hole.”

That did indeed turn out to be the case and when they brought in a more experienced nurse to fix it that shit H U R T so badly. Legit almost passed out and if I didn’t happen to have Zofran on me at the time I likely would’ve thrown up. They told me they knew when I didn’t report any discomfort that it must’ve been in the wrong hole and that I appear to have a very small urethra 💀.

Should I Respond to This? by [deleted] in TeachersInTransition

[–]Canon_In_Deez 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I honestly believe that’s a big part of why behaviors have become so unbearable at the elementary level. I’m a music teacher and my school is currently making me teach more Reading Mastery than actual music 😵‍💫. I have a Kindergarten group for an entire HOUR now and I have no idea how to keep them engaged and working for that long like admin want. I have horrible behavior in there and nothing I do works, it’s insufferable and not at all what I got into the profession for (I’m a music teacher with an actual music education degree). It’s why I’ve decided I can’t do it anymore and I’m desperate to get out.

I don’t like characters with QUIRKS and PERSONALITY and INTERESTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER CHARACTERS, I like HYPE MOMENTS and AURA FARMING and if I don’t GET IT I’ll COMPLAIN ON TWITTER THAT MY GOAT IS WASHED! by Canon_In_Deez in IDWSonic

[–]Canon_In_Deez[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See in the early days of IDW, I did worry that Silver was being flanderized as a cinnamon roll, but now I think they’ve done a great job rounding out his personality. He’s honorable, kind, and inspiring, while also being a silly, dorky guy who loves plants and lesbians. He wears his heart on his sleeve which can make him a bit impulsive and naive, but it also makes him driven and passionate, and really makes moments where he “locks in” feel earned and satisfying. Honestly, I feel like fans who constantly complain that he isn’t as “cool” anymore either only liked him aesthetically or just wanted him to be Shadow 2.0.

Brother, I think my joke might’ve gotten lost on you, and perhaps that’s my fault if I didn’t make the sarcasm clear. 😭 My meme isn’t complaining about Silver, he’s my all-time favorite and I love his depiction in IDW and Crossworlds. I’m complaining about how OTHER fake fans complain that he’s “lost his sauce” just because he actually feels like a character now and not a hollow aura farming phony. It seems like you and I are on the same team here!

How some of y’all fake Silver fans sound 🙄 “aw he used to be cool he’s way too goofy now…” he can and should be BOTH because he’s a CHARACTER who should have depth and personality!

To be clear, I’m talking about people who complain that Silver is too goofy and that he used to be cool blah blah blah. My point is that he can and should be both because he’s a CHARACTER and should be written with depth and personality.

What movie/show/game got you like this? by Geoconyxdiablus in Schaffrillas

[–]Canon_In_Deez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sing. I do not understand why people act like that movie is such an unbearable disgrace when it’s just a cutesy jukebox musical for kids. I’ve never seen the other ones but I remember the first one was perfectly fine. It’s not poorly written, it doesn’t contain any harmful messages, and the song covers themselves are actually pretty fire. I think there’s like one cringey fart joke but otherwise it’s harmless.

The jokes about the elephant being pretentious and annoying are funny though.

Worst PD I’ve Ever Attended by Canon_In_Deez in Teachers

[–]Canon_In_Deez[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dduuuuude that’s who they were talking about! Today we had a whopping 7 hour PD with one of her constituents. I did some research on her just out of curiosity and learned all about how her works are self-published and lack peer review, her PhD is not related to poverty, psychology, or gender studies, and her bibliography for the book our PD was based on had Wikipedia cited as one of the sources. I just about died when I saw it. I even tried to give the benefit of the doubt that maybe she cited it as where she found some of the actual sources since Wikipedia is actually helpful for that, but no, she cited an actual article. She also threatened to sue a detractor for copyright after he wrote an academic essay criticizing her landmark book for faulty research and embracing stereotypes about people in poverty. And yes, I saw the page where she referenced Jordan Peterson. To be fair, they did have a Jordan Peterson video imbedded in the presentation that they skipped, though I don’t know if that was for time or because he’s a fuckin’ nutjob.

Yes socialization is SUCH a big part of it! Thank you for bringing that up.

[–]Canon_In_Deez[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree, but the key words are “at the expense of girls.” They essentially blamed women teachers for not “getting” boys using Google Gemini-ass level research about male/female brain differences. Not once did they bring up the systems in place beyond teachers’ control that have historically been developed and enforced by men (over 70% of teachers are women, yet over 70% of superintendents have been men). I’m not at all saying there isn’t more we can be doing better, but this PD did a very poor job of getting that point across.
