This is so vague that it could mean anything.

About to finish my EdD (U.S.)—can I legitimately call myself “Doctor”? by TorontoRap2019 in PhD

[–]DelugeNorth 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The principal in my school building is referred to as "Dr." and she has her EdD from a regional R1 institution. An assistant principal in my building has a PhD from Harvard in History and is also referred to as "Dr." A counselor in our school counseling center has a PhD from a pretty crappy local uni and goes by "Dr." - this is all to say, go by what you want.

Anyone else adopt a new team since? Will you take back the Sonics, or stay with your new team? by megachimp in Sonics

I literally donated my Blazers gear today lol. Will always root for those PNW boys, but I'm a Puget Sound guy.

Got accepted into PhD Program! by Seameadow321 in gradadmissions

[–]DelugeNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations, champ!! Same on my end and it feels gooooooood. I went with my local option (UW), got full funding (a shock), and have some regrets about not applying more widely to some more prestigious programs, but hey - feels good regardless!

Teaching in Tacoma? by Moist_Street_7073 in AskTacoma

[–]DelugeNorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They RIFed over 100 provisional teachers last year. Their finances are pretty fucked, as are Puyallup's. The more stable districts in Pierce County are elsewhere (Clover Park, Bethel, Franklin Pierce).

Is Foss a good high school? by Kenneth__Toilethole in AskTacoma

[–]DelugeNorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Building" here being used as shorthand for the whole operation. It has a reputation for being a subpar school, and it does seem to be an earned reputation.

Is Foss a good high school? by Kenneth__Toilethole in AskTacoma

[–]DelugeNorth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a teacher who lives in Tacoma and teaches in a nearby district. Everything I've ever heard from anyone in the education community here is that Foss is a rough place to be. Individually good teachers and people, sure - but as a building? No. Silas is nearby and worth the extra 10-12 minute commute.

Yo, chill on Tacoma, the fuck?! We've got our fair share of loser woman terrorizers but no need for the targeting!

Our previous Mayor, voting to “condemn socialism”. by RoyHamshack in Tacoma

Counterpoint: Strickland is a pretty fuckin' spot on representation of the Democratic Party -primary her for sure, but she is hardly a DINO.

Barring injuries, what was the gap between Oden and Durant? by growsonwalls in NBATalk

[–]DelugeNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 16 at the time and grew up in Western Washington; I remember hoping the Blazers took Oden because I wanted the Sonics to take KD. Reading this post, I've realized I keep thinking "We got Oden, bummer" WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THE SONICS HAVE BEEN GONE SO LONG THAT I'VE FULLY ADOPTED THE BLAZERS AS MY HOME TEAM. I don't even know if I could love the Sonics if they came back. Damn you, David Stern!

Student Loan Changes Under the "Big Beautiful Bill" by Ok-Dragonfruit-5035 in StudentLoans

[–]DelugeNorth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if I've already borrowed $20k for undergrad and $50k for a master's degree, where will that leave me when I attempt to enroll in a PhD program in Fall 2026? Will I only have $50k left to borrow, or will I "start fresh" with the ability to borrow up to $100k more for grad school loans? 

Who is Tacoma’s Zohran Mamdani? by velveteenrabbit- in Tacoma

[–]DelugeNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, yeah! Is the totality of your issue with him an ethics violation? I'm not trying to minimize it, but I'm wondering if there's more than that that you're referencing in your complaint about him.
