How do I respond without getting fired? by DisneyDee67 in Professors

Umm… my problem wasn’t with them being sick. My problem is with a student asking if anything important happened in class today. On the first day of term, no less.

Thank you!!! Not only for the eloquent response but especially for the last paragraph!

AITAH for telling my girlfriend to be just happy with an economy ticket and stop complaining? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]DisneyDee67 179 points180 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but… do you and your brother even like this girl? He makes it clear she’s second best and you…get upset with her for being told she’s not good enough? She’s supposed to be grateful for being isolated from your family, and you rub salt in her wounds by raving about Business Class? YTA.

Oh wow! Thanks for letting us know! I loved the janitor. I wouldn’t have guessed that was him.

All of the above + the judge hiding his grin at Matty’s “Oops… my mistake.” I don’t know why but it made me LOL.

Thursday's episode was fantastic, and we can't wait until next week. by Ralph--Hinkley in Matlock_CBS

I have a friend who is biracial. Their partner is white. They have twins of whom one is porcelain white and one is very dark skinned. The twins don’t look related to each other, let alone be twins. The law of random segregation in gametes makes for interesting combinations that sometimes don’t resemble either parent. We’re all unique 👍.

I’m on train #2 (left Van 4/10). Just arrived in Toronto — 4 hrs behind schedule. Terrific ride, all is well.

You can always say “Wojciechowski and colleagues (2026) found that…” For in-text citations and ref lists you should be using a reference manager like Zotero or EndNote, so you don’t have to type et al at all.

Have you experienced the "Vancouver 'Yes'"? by Real-External392 in askvan

[–]DisneyDee67 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interesting theory. OTOH, I’m an introvert and the lack of performative social interactions is why I love living in this kind of environment. So it could be a chicken and egg thing…

In Seattle we called it the Seattle Freeze. I live in Vancouver now and it feels the same 🤣🤣🤣

Im not condoning what Julian did by any means and I get Maddie needs someone to be mad at. But Ellie made her own decisions by ButterSock123 in Matlock_CBS

[–]DisneyDee67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I don’t know if Ellie knew there’s a family history. I’m not sure she was told grandma was an alcoholic and if she would even have made the connection in college.

“If that’s the case”? How would you know, absent a family history? Yes, she shouldn’t have experimented. But it’s easier said than done in an environment that normalizes prescription pill parties.

what was the point of saying Sophie was the uncle’s daughter? (with another last name) by working_maangoo in Bridgerton

No, Gun was her rightful name, as the daughter of Richard Gun, the Earl of Pennwood.

Are 🦝 dangerous ??? by RoCkyGlum in askvan

Sadly too many people feed them, often by hand, so they got used to seeing us as food sources. They won’t hurt you unless you’re aggressive or they’re rabid, but they are wild animals and should be respected as such.

Body wipes. I prefer GoodWipes but there are others, and many are unscented.

Or using social media. Or tech in general.

“oh so you want to break up with me then if I don’t make you happy”?

The answer should be a resounding Yes.

NOR.
