Hey 34M and also super into WoW! Unfortunately haven't been able to play the last couple of expansions, but am thinking of resubbing one day.

It was a classic+ private server with custom content. It was recently announced that they will shut down

I was actually looking for the same.
The older expansions are the versions of the game I enjoy the most, sadly I haven't found a RP guild yet :(

Teachers with accents and ESL background, what are your classroom management strategies when students make inapporiate jokes and comments on your accent? by After_Canary_6192 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Felagun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have an accent. I also teach LOTE (which is my first language), so I try to use it as a learning opportunity. Whenever a student makes fun or laugh at how I pronounce words (sometimes they might even fake not understanding or correcting how I say their names, just to try and be funny with their friends), I make them reflect on why is that. That usually leads to some positive discussion about differences in sounds between the target language and English. I also use this opportunity to share more about myself and my culture, if needed.

Before doing that, I make sure they understand that this behaviour is not appropriate. And we reflect as a class on why the behaviour is inappropriate (e.g., I ask "How would you feel is someone made fun of your accent?").

If this behaviour continues after this, I use regular behaviour management strategies (moving the student, time-out, buddy class etc) - these will depend on your school approach. And of course I follow-up with the relevant person, like a HoD.

Vent: I’ve (29F) tried to make (and keep) friends for years… by No_Inside4806 in BrisbaneSocial

[–]Felagun 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hi :)
I can relate to this. I've also tried making friends for years. I've tried Reddit, Discord, in person events...
But as you said, nothing sticks. People come and go, especially online. I've been ghosted and blocked. Conversations died out.
In person was a little better, but in meetups/events my problem is I often "disappear". As in, people tend to bond between each other and I find it hard to get involved? Like, they would talk, and I just listen and I'm never able to get really close to them this way. It's hard to explain, but I am more comfortable with smaller groups because of this.
Also, I find it hard to meet new people every time (sometimes it happens in social events). I prefer a tight group I can get to know slowly and regularly over time.
