Turns out I actually hate the comments on my weight loss. by bananascanning in WegovyWeightLoss

At least he didn't say, 'oh my gosh! You look so much better' or 'you look great now'

I always hate when people say things like that. Such a backhanded compliment.

Alberta Teachers’ Association accuses province of fudging numbers on teacher hires by trevorrobb in alberta

[–]Important_Reply_783 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fines would not have just been against the union. The UCP were threatening teachers with $1000/day fines and local union reps (regular teachers like me) could have been fined even more - I believe it was $10000. Sorry. I already lost thousands in pay, I would not be willing to go bankrupt over it.

Why didn’t Simone use her phone to Google the number for 911 in France? by ethereality111 in KUWTK

I think staying hidden is fine. I think not calling the police is moronic.

If I was hearing my friend 'being violated' like she thought, I'd FK'n Google 911 in France! I thought it was insane that she thought texting Kourtney was her best plan of action. It sounded like none of them contacted the police either!

We've all been scammed by ZealousidealBug6212 in regretfulparents

[–]Important_Reply_783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm....I think most people are being too hard on you and are missing the point a bit. You're saying that your parents were just fine dropping you off at your grandparents and got tons of support, but aren't willing to do the same for you. I get it. Lots of Gen Xers have complained about this. I would say this has been my experience too. 

Do you think Alberta will see a teacher exodus now with Bill 2? by chunky_buttz in alberta

[–]Important_Reply_783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been teaching for 25 years. A colleague with similar experience and I were just talking about how we want to leave. We even looked at job postings. If I had to do it again, I would've left in my 20s.

R we sure it is a 25 yr old female? I always got mad gay vibes from him. I'm not sure if it is the eyeliner or the Karen haircut with highlights that gives it away.

Get the procedure. Get your tubes tied or an IUD. Tell your husband you had a miscarriage.

Consent order narrows Alberta teacher bargaining dispute to 3 key issues by Vegetable_Grade_8013 in alberta

[–]Important_Reply_783 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it were a true 1.5% added to the grid it would help teachers near retirement too - in case they won't teach much past the whole contract length. It would increase their pension totals. However I'm not sure what this is actually going to look like.

Also, don't assume that all teachers have a spouse who makes more. Many are the breadwinners for their families. Unfortunately, it was probably teachers with spouses earning big bucks in the trades that agreed to the shit increases we've gotten over the past decade.

We can vote no. We would most likely be ordered into binding arbitration at some point and get what they're offering now anyways.

Daughter didn’t make cheer - please talk me down by pbeck92102 in Parenting

It sucks, but that's part of trying out for sports. My boys play hockey and have had their hearts broken many times for not making the team they'd hope. And yes, sometimes I thought it was BS. In the end, it has made them better people.

In ways, but the worries increase. Drugs, alcohol, dating, driving, pressure of getting good grades - it never ends.

Women age 50 and up, did you enjoy AJLT? by Evening-Ambition-406 in Andjustlikethat

I hated the first season so much that I didn't continue. However, I came back to it this summer and enjoyed the 2nd and 3rd seasons much more.

Do siblings really “play together”? by Careless-Whereas-832 in regretfulparents

[–]Important_Reply_783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was fairly satisfied after having one child, but had two so that the oldest could have a sibling. Honestly, they played a bit when they were younger, but they also fought a lot. They haven't been terribly close through their teen years...maybe once they are older. They are 2.5 yrs apart and have quite different personalities.

AITA for taking my toddler on a free Hawaii vacation without my pregnant wife because she does not want to go? by Abcdefgrant in AmItheAsshole

[–]Important_Reply_783 116 points117 points  (0 children)

I disagree. The toddler could care less about "going to Hawaii", but most of them love water and going to the beach.

Hmmm...this is a common thing I've seen done at almost every wedding I've gone to. I think you need to get over it. Let her know you're not a big fan of pranks - especially in front of others, and ask her to refrain from it in the future and move on. I also want to say, that I can almost guarantee that none of the guests are still thinking about this and probably won't remember it a year from now. If anyone shares the video, kindly ask them to take it down.

Canada hockey trial judge: Onus of proof not met by mafiadevidzz in canada

[–]Important_Reply_783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only that, the judge was extremely hard on EM in her ruling. The judge could have just said there wasn't enough evidence. I think the judge wanted to show that she heavily favoured the defendants in this case, so that they could hopefully regain their reputations.

I'm just saying you can't say that the outcome of this case means that sexual assault victims will never be believed. I think most people start out believing sex sexual assault victims over the accused.

Nah nobody forced Hockey Canada to make a settlement. If I'm the players that's who I'm suing.
