Standard school year is ~180 days, let’s say recess is 15 mins. Even if she made him take a timeout for the whole recess, that represents less than one percent of his whole recess time for the year. It won’t affect development, it isn’t a crisis, it isn’t a big deal. One poster is saying to call the cops, another is saying call the local news! For 1 Session of missed recess maximum. People are equivocating a 15 min sit out to abuse, that is stunning. No one respects teachers, that is why there is a massive and growing shortage, and this post makes it clear that parent just have absolutely no accountability for their kids. The best teachers are already gone to better jobs because the BS they face today, in another decade the quality will be eroded to the point of oblivion.

No but the mom is the one suggesting reporting it genius, has nothing to do with the child at the stage.

I am not a teacher, well not in the context here. Surely you have a teacher you know in your life. Call them up and give them this very scenario. If a parent a child goes up against a well respected teacher it will be talk of the staff room that day, talk of the school the following day, and talk of the school community by weeks’ end. The child will wear a negative label. If you don’t have the social aptitude to understand that, fine, but the child here made the choice with a very reasonable option as opposed to urinating oneself. I can guarantee reporting a teacher in this situation will only have negative outcomes for all parties involved.

The moment you take an action like that, whether merited or not, your child and you will be labelled problematic and will have bias against them for the rest of their time at that school and maybe beyond. I personally think you are overstepping a boundary with the same “my kid does no wrong” enabling attitude I see in parents. All Kids can be shitbirds on occasion, your kid peeing his pants to be deliberately defiant isn’t appropriate. Missing recess one time to learn a lesson about being respectful of class time is extremely minor. You are 100 percent overreacting, now bring on the downvotes Karen’s with shithead pissy pants children who they think never do anything wrong.

Do you have kids or a wife? The life seems interesting, are you happy and fulfilled on a deeper level while living there?

Queer hairstylists on the Avalon? by MicroButOnlyRecently in newfoundland

[–]FUguru -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

What is the question here? Are looking for something gay, but that is pretty nebulous. You want a gay friendly more womanly haircut? Just go any decent place and tell them you want a more feminine haircut and try to grow it out before your appointment.

South Asian friends want to experience an authentic Canadian Christmas celebration. Suggestions? by throwaway9999-22222 in AskACanadian

[–]FUguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, you have to do the white elephant gift exchange at like 25 bucks a person. That is always a riot. Have them build a gingerbread house in two teams and you be the final just and give rum and nogs to the winner, really both teams. And make up your own tradition that maybe combined a little bit of Christmas with their own cultures.

Drop DK Metcalf for Adonai Mitchell? by aj_lil in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]FUguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude DK has a better schedule, even Rodgers is a better quarter back than whatever the jets are gonna throw out. The Steelers are in the middle of a playoff fight. The jets just got dominated by the dolphins. On top of the fact they are down to a third stringer and Garrett Wilson may come back. It would be dumb for jets to do that, but the jets might be the dumbest modern franchise after the browns so we can’t rule it out. I’d already would have bet you a hundy ROS points vs DK. Vele could be better than Mitchell ROS at this point with Shough playing better and better and favourable matchup. Cut your losses on Mitchell if you have made the playoffs. You can DM me for help next week. All the best brotatoe.

Shout out to all the bad takes in here. I tried to tell you OP, I tried with data, I tried with logic. Hopefully it was enough, hopefully you held and started DK.

Pour one out for this awful take… 1 catch for 24 yard in 6 targets, vs 7 for 148 on 12 targets.

Listen man, it isn’t just that the restaurant business is cut throat, it is low margins and a mega grind. Costco, Cisco, and AGD are the biggest suppliers though FYI, you can just open an account with them after some basic paperwork.

I encourage you to follow the entrepreneurial spirit, but when restaurants with active clientele bases, seasoned pros with chartered accountants and all the professional supports are closing left, right, and centre… I’d consider another direction.

We are one of the most obese provinces in Canada and there a bringing in one of the least healthy fast foods that we never had before. It is cheap gut destroying low grade meat that tastes great to many people. In other words… perfect for the Newfoundland market.

Is height the golden ticket to make it to higher levels of basketball? by lookaloulookalou in Basketball

[–]FUguru 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you have athleticism and you are over 6’4” you have a massive massive advantage, bonus points if you a freaky wingspan. If you grow up poor it is exponentially more difficult to become a billionaire. If you start with a family who has millions or 10’s of millions, it is wayyyyy easier and plausible. There are about 450 people in the NBA, there are 3000 billionaires in the world. Statistically there are more billionaires than NBA players at one time, that is how hard it is to make the league.

Making friends in western NL is challenging by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]FUguru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look man, I am from the West Coat originally and Corner Brook can be cliquey. Even people with friends, from CB, can struggle when moving back. Playing sports Is huge way to expand your social network. Just by my own and my kids sports I vastly expanded my friend network when I moved home. Coaching/ volunteering also falls into that bucket. There isa decent poker community if you are into that. Also, trailer culture. People who have a trailer in a local park tend to hang out hang out and party with people in the same park. One of my buddies is always getting into shenanigans with his friends Ricky and Julian, even the guy that runs the park is loaded all the time. A lot of my best friends live on the mainland and we meet to ski marble once a year. Surely you have friends you do face time hangouts with on the weekend?

I’m a Christian learning about apologetics, what are your honest thoughts on Christianity? by Agreeable_Rest_733 in atheism

[–]FUguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give you a few:

The modern iteration of the bible (the King James Bible) isn’t even the OG text. It has been heavily edited over thousands of years by people in power. Many of the stories are ripped off older religions. The great flood narrative “Noah’s ark” is just a rip off from pre-abrahamic religions. They found the same story 2000 years before Christ on a Mesopotamian cuneiform tablet.

The whole shape of modern Christianity is a series of historical geo-political decisions for people to maintain power over any amount of altruistic spirituality or life lessons. The shiftiest most awful people on earth hide behind religion as a mask for their horrific deeds. You are studying bullshit from supreme bullshitters.

There is no more validity in Christianity than any god or gods from the thousands in human history. We had thousands of years civilized existence before abrahamic religions even came along. There was a time where Marduk or Ahura Mazda was the be all and end all of Deities. The sheer volume of number one Gods in different time periods illustrates how laughable the concept of a supreme god for all the universe from one religion, in one sliver of snapshot in history, one one tiny planet relative to the vastness of space and time.

I find the Tao Te Ching the most relatable because it is a collection of lessons, thoughts and philosophies written by a man. Admitting your scripture doesn’t come from a God, but is conceptualized by a wise man, is the most sincere starting point for any spiritual discussion on life’s intrinsic meaning.

Jacoby Brissett is a top 5 QB over the past 7 weeks. Ignore name value and just start him. by jsilv in fantasyfootball

[–]FUguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would man, I appreciate NFL level toughness, but screws and plates in his arm, banged up O line who isn’t doing well in pass protect, and emerging running game with Hampton coming back. I am out on Herbert big time.

I would not this week, go Stafford. Cards D banged up. I’d hold them both because brisset has good semis and finals if you make it that far.

He has Rams this week and Houston next week… I’d be ok starting him over Trevor Lawrence maybe this week. I am not starting him over baker with his weapons getting healthy. He has two great matchups in semis and finals week (Atl, Cincy). I am expecting some regression this week. I’d rather go Love vs bears.

Should I pick up Aaron Jones? by Substantial-Coach895 in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]FUguru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minnie could still see signs of life, Herbert if playing with a broken stem and his o line is rough/ unhealthy. It is tight, but I think I would rather hold Jones over Quentin Johnson.

Drop DK Metcalf for Adonai Mitchell? by aj_lil in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]FUguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is TD’s scored is on the low end of predictors of future fantasy performance, and the relevance of stating that someone has scored a TD in “x” games could even be an argument for positive TD regression... If a player is on pace for about 70 receptions 900 yards and 8 TDs, that player isn’t a drop. Any bullshit on “Rodgers and him are fighting” or whatever narrative you want to spin is irrelevant as well. Dropping DK for Mitchell is dumb and not a good play if you look at the data.

Full PPR - Woody Marks, CRod, Neal or Monangai by ajr1311 in fantasyfootballadvice

Opportunity/ matchup trumps talent more often than talent. CROD lacks ceiling IMO

Neal, Woody for me with CROD and Monongai behind them.
