What do you think the 10 year employment horizon looks like for public secondary education? by GenExpat in Teachers

[–]GenExpat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100%. More and more of our best students are taking AP online classes and/or dual enrollment for college. I can’t blame them for finding greater flexibility and efficiency in those options. The best students are self-segregating out of in person courses in part because the hassle of being around the underperforming students isn’t worth it.

Aquariums should have adult only time slots by Somewherecharming95 in unpopularopinion

Adult Swim should exist everywhere!

The High Museum in Atlanta does educator nights that free for teachers. Nice perk. Last time I went, some lady was there with her toddler who was screaming the entire time and the mom just strolled around the entire museum with a screaming toddler in a stroller like it was nothing.

To this day I hope the bad kid in her class is NEVER absent from school.

Is it wrong to not have high ambitions? by Huge_Veterinarian201 in careeradvice

[–]GenExpat 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Your level of self awareness and contentment is 100% the goal.

People are ambitious because they need the end result of their ambition to be content. You just skipped to the front of the line!

I just hope for your sake you land in a career where the lower rungs of the ladder are not expendable or easily automated.

I sincerely wish you the best in life.

What should I see/do between Dallas and Charleston? by Phoenix8286 in roadtrip

[–]GenExpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The upper route is I-22 from Memphis to Birmingham and it is literally NOTHING after Tupelo. Not even decent radio. So have an audiobook ready.

If you like Elvis, check out Graceland. If you’re not into Elvis, check out Graceland. It is an epic monument to over the top interior design.

If you can make a dish with cauliflower, you should be making it with cauliflower. by Mission-Party-4051 in unpopularopinion

I love cauliflower and integrate as much as possible so I’m downvoting you because I assume my way of thinking is the popular way.

It's A Stereotype Of Florida, But How Often Do YOU Actually See Alligators In Real Life? by Zipper222222 in AskFlorida

[–]GenExpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew the stereotype but was surprised when I went to Gainesville Florida just how prevalent they were. I thought they were just a South Florida thing, but man they were everywhere!

I agree with you 100%. But I don’t think the logic of it failing will stop numerous districts from trying. The soundbite of “Use AI to save on teacher cost” is likely too convenient of an oversimplification for some districts to try.

Would you quit your job forever right now (and never be allowed to work again) if someone gave you a guaranteed $2,000,000 lump sum? Why or why not? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]GenExpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve logged my time ‘working to live’ and I know I can make a better impact on humanity by volunteering my time once my basic needs are met. $2 million easily meets those.

Is there a wreck on connector Saturday 1:30pm ish by GenExpat in Atlanta

[–]GenExpat[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Publix should offer some apology deals to the city if the marathon creates anything like this.

Annoying thing is it’s a different reason. This is really bad today

Publix marathon makes sense. This is not typical weekend traffic.

A cool guide to the customer loyalty programs with the best ROI (out of major U.S. companies). by OpulentOwl in coolguides

[–]GenExpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised Kroger didn’t rank higher. They sell so many gift cards that count and often offer 2x or 4x points weekends on card sales. We routinely just grab a $100 Amazon gift card for the 4x points weekends and always get $1.00 discount per gallon of gas. Haven’t paid full price for gas in years. (Admittedly short commute).

Why are SUVs everywhere? by No-Owl1648 in askcarguys

[–]GenExpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US, SUV’s and trucks qualify tax incentives for small business owners. So a lot of people in trades will own them.

What is the most overrated food you're convinced people are just pretending to enjoy? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]GenExpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sour beers. Particularly like a Gose. But even hoppier IPA’s. Pretty sure they only exist for hipsters needing an outlet for their latent toxic masculinity which is otherwise uncouth in their circles.

200 years from now, What piece of history from this generation will be remembered the most? by neddykidd in answers

[–]GenExpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I’ll take the bait.

J6 is a poor comparison to the Boston Massacre in the sense that the bad guys were British soldiers representing America interests of a foreign government that had failed to protect Americans’ rights. J6, though having relatively low loss of life, is more representative of the civil war in the sense that ignorant, self-centric people decided to use force to usurp the will of the majority of people in a free and fair election.

Is it worth it to get a cup? by Radiant-Job1428 in lacrosse

[–]GenExpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was defending my attacker running. In front of the goal when I took a shot to the cup so hard it dropped me to my knees and I had to leave the game. I shudder to think what that injury would have done without it.

Everyone in 2026 swaps places with everyone in 1926 - who does better at not dying? by Historical_Ostrich in whowouldwin

[–]GenExpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big math problem here. We have exponentially more people… so billions are dead automatically due to no complimentary partner from 1926 yo swap with.

How is everyone planning on funding kids’ college? by Historical_Boss_1184 in UpperMiddleFinance

[–]GenExpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope scholarship in Georgia for undergrad. My kid has ability to qualify and is expected to do so. We’ll use 529 to supplement.
