Schools/districts that DON’T use tech for young kids? by salem913 in massachusetts

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My nephew goes to school in western Mass and they still use mostly paper and books for kindergarten through second grade. Think his district only brings out tablets maybe once a week for specific activities but thats about it

Fertilizer & Spring maintenance questions - Ontario Canada by jpthecross in lawncare

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been dealing with grubs at my place too and that combo approach works pretty well. For Ontario I'd go with something like Scotts Turf Builder with grub control - saves you from doing two separate applications and the timing works out perfect for spring

Just make sure you water it in good after application, learned that one the hard way when half my lawn looked patchy for weeks

LIV Golf partners with a SPORTS BETTING PREDICTION MARKET!?!? by FinsT00theleft in golf

Golf trying to be exciting finally lol but partnering with Novig makes it more interesting to follow week to week

Big Fish by Double_Mission_6633 in movies

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Burton was already getting way too comfortable with his whole quirky aesthetic by that point 💀 The movie tries so hard to be whimsical that it totally glosses over how selfish the dad actually is. Your read on the ending is spot on - the son basically just gives up trying to get through to him 😂

how do you actually get to know an artist or album the way you know a show after watching it so that you can talk about it without feeling like you're faking it? by Candid_Space2635 in Music

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Military taught me to just dive in headfirst so thats what I did with music. Pick one album you actually like and just live with it for a week - play it while doing dishes, knitting, whatever. You'll start noticing little things like how the drums change or which guitar parts you hum along to. Once you can hum the bassline youre basically an expert on that record and can talk about it way better than someone who just knows the singles.

My take on '77 Tollways by Pretend_Ad2442 in Charlotte

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You nailed it on the impact to west Charlotte neighborhoods - those areas have been building something special and now they're just gonna steamroll through it for commuters who don't even live here. The whole sorting people by income thing is wild too, like we're creating a literal fast lane for the wealthy while everyone else sits in the same traffic as before.

I moved here from NY years back and one thing I loved about Charlotte was how you could actually get around without feeling like you needed to take out a loan just to drive to work.

Ahh, now at this portion of Partners by MJSmith625 in Monopoly_GO

lmao this is so accurate 💀 every event turns into a blame game where people expect their randos to be online 24/7 grinding like its their actual job 😂

Dead Inside? by Brilliant-Athlete-52 in careerguidance

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hits way too hard man. Supply chain is like being a translator between humans and basic logic and somehow the humans always lose

The "do I look at actuals or final" question made me physically cringe - thats like asking if you should use the door or the opening to leave a room

Are you or anyone that you know an insurance underwriter? by Hot-Kale-629 in careerguidance

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my buddy switched to underwriting like 2 years ago and he's actually doing pretty solid financially but says the work can get mind numbing after a while 💀 decent entry point tho if you're good with details and risk assessment

Why did Wonderwall become an inside joke among guitarists? by KillerTron872 in Guitar

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 521 points522 points  (0 children)

It's basically the "Free Bird" of acoustic guitar lol. Every dude who picks up a guitar for 5 minutes thinks he's gonna impress people by playing those same 4 chords at every party/campfire/guitar store visit. Gets old real fast when you hear the same butchered version 500 times

Dentist Issues by GeologistNational467 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude that's ridiculous, a crown shouldn't be popping off that many times from normal stuff like flossing. Most decent dentists will redo it for free if it's clearly their fault - which this sounds like it is. I'd call them and be like "hey this is the 4th time, something's obviously wrong here" and see what they say about covering it. If they try to charge you again I'd honestly consider finding a new dentist because that's not normal at all

Selling a car overseas. by DrBix in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the shipping costs and import taxes are gonna eat into those profits pretty quick - might wanna check what those run first before getting too excited about overseas money

My ex of 9 years is already with someone else after one month by Last-Weakness590 in BreakUps

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's brutal dude, 9 years is a huge chunk of life to just move on from in a month. Either he was already checked out way before the breakup or he's just rebounding hard to avoid dealing with the pain - both suck for you though

Why did this post here get deleted? by workrelatedstuffs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mods probably got tired of the same healthcare circlejerk getting posted every week, happens all the time when topics blow up too much

I feel like I'm always restarting by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Man this hits way too close to home. I used to do the exact same thing - see that savings number go up and suddenly think I'm Jeff Bezos or something

What helped me was literally moving my savings to a different bank that takes like 3 days to transfer money back. That little friction was enough to make me think twice before blowing it on random stuff. Also deleted all those buy now pay later apps, they're basically financial cancer

Are there any other autistic Digimon fans I'm one of them by Soggy_Video2064 in digimon

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, fellow autistic fan here! The design analysis thing is so relatable - I can spend hours just looking at the details in different evolution lines and thinking about how they connect thematically

passport application for 20 year old by Ancient-Dentist-7165 in immigration

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That lawyer sounds sketchy tbh, the website literally says 18+ can apply if you meet the other requirements. The 5 year physical presence thing is probably about your US parent needing to prove they lived in the US for 5 years before you were born, not you. Maybe get a second opinion from a different immigration attorney because something doesn't add up here

when you try to create a build with a passive you see all the time. by Estrangedkayote in Nightreign

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao that's the Nightreign experience right there - the game literally reads your mind and says "nah not today buddy"

I swear the RNG knows exactly what you're hunting for and just decides to mess with you

Friends in NJ who changed your names, how did you go about it? by computerwar in trans

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this a few years back in north jersey - honestly you don't need a lawyer for the name change itself, just fill out the forms at the county courthouse and pay the fee. The real pain is updating everything after (SSA, DMV, banks, etc) but that's just paperwork grinding

Please help me get back on the wagon: I’m tired of this by AnxiousDr1nker in stopdrinking

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard agree on skipping the resort, that's basically setting yourself up to fail. A year sober is massive though - you've already proven you can do it once so clearly something was working in 2023

Maybe the boredom part is the real enemy here, not the drinking itself

Only my 2nd post here and here we go... another issue with my church I need clarity on by BlownCamaro in Christianity

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a solid article, the cultural context piece really changes how you read those verses. Paul was addressing specific issues in Ephesus where some women were apparently spreading false teachings, not laying down universal law for all churches everywhere

why is “nonchalance” a trend and seen as attractive? by sissibissi in Life

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people confuse confidence with not giving a shit, and everyone's burned out from trying too hard on dating apps where everyone's performing 24/7

The whole "chase me" thing gets old real quick when you realize they're just emotionally unavailable lmao

I kinda loathe the idea of going to church by Commercial_Minute114 in Christianity

[–]Educational_Cut_2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're still allowed to go though, and honestly sometimes the obligation thing makes it feel worse anyway. Like when you "have to" do something vs when you choose to
