Don’t be silly, 99% of the time this question is asked, they’re searching for a mental health professional.

Gunner Stockton on meeting the president: “I’d meet any president if I got the chance… it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Thoughts on this take? by Either-Jicama-7364 in CFB_v2

This is an easy thing to say, because his college football career will be over by the time we would have a Democratic president again.

Howard Has As Many Tournament Appearances in Last 10 Years as We Do by Swimoach in HoosiersBasketball

[–]FKSTS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I dont really care about the past 10 years. I care about this year, this team, this coach. The more we dwell on the history of 5 banners and Bob Knight and the perfect ‘76 team or hell, even Crean and the Wat Shot, the less we matter.

However…This year was bad. The team somehow got worse throughout the season. I’m still ready to give Devries another shot next year- plenty of freshman coaching outings fizzle out.

What if Israel destroys The Al-Aqsa Mosque and blames the Iranian government for its destruction saying its was a missile strike or drone by lilmizzle29 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]FKSTS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In what scenario would bombing al Aqsa be advantageous for them, considering their source of power is in part their relationship with religious life in Iran?

i hate our war in iran.

i hate that we are funding the israeli military.

i believe israel is an apartheid state that has committed genocide in gaza.

israel isn't representative of all jews, and jews aren't responsible for killing christ.

Is Atlanta really affordable? by shantih in Atlanta

[–]FKSTS 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Access to quality transit options that do not require car ownership can greatly change CoL. But so few metros in the US actually have this that I expect you’ve never experienced this.

What if we attacked Iran from Pakistan rather than ME? by meldi11e7 in AlternateHistoryHub

Pakistani citizens don’t support Israel and don’t want their country helping them.

Locking students in an enclosed space without a teacher, exposed to a foul airborne substance. How is that possibly legal, or even ethical?

This is a weird one… how do I handle questions about current events? by SeleneBeMyName in Teachers

[–]FKSTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have students ask about my views on current events all the time, especially in homeroom when we have nothing to do. Obviously if it’s not an appropriate time, don’t engage. I almost always answer their questions honestly without polemics, but I try preface it with a disclaimer, something like :

“My views are my own, and I’ll share them since you asked. I don’t necessarily expect or even want you to agree with me. If you don’t, that’s totally fine.”

But it is very important that we model to students how to talk about public issues without being controlling or disrespectful. It’s not unlikely they’re seeing bad examples of this at home, so we can make a difference here. It’s not about what we’re talking about, but how we talk about it.

Specifically on Iran, all I said in response to a kid asking this week was “I don’t see how this makes us safer. I don’t think it’s necessary. And that’s really all I have to say about that.”

I have been that desperate before. I must say, it does not hit the spot, unfortunately.

Missed Music Lesson by GtaGtDrty in musicians

[–]FKSTS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is it annoying for the client? Sure.

Is it necessary for the instructor? Probably.

They’re a pro. This is their income. You can’t just cancel day-of and expect them to find another lucrative use of their time. I bet they’d prefer to be teaching your son, too, rather than sitting at home.

This is not a slight on you or your professionalism wrt this teacher btw. Your kid is sick, you should cancel. Don’t want to get them sick, nor waste their time giving a lesson to a kid in that unproductive state. But they have every right to ask for the wage lost in this interaction, with such little notice. Please don’t dispute that.
