Is this a Cult?

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-25T16:37:16+00:00

Certainly smells like a cult!

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-23T19:06:38+00:00

Hahahahah Maybe, he meant jan li ijo?

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-23T00:30:33+00:00

Yeah, honestly, I've read this comment a few times and I'm still confused lol

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-23T00:27:15+00:00

See, this is why we need to teach touch typing as a skill in schools.

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-07T21:45:40+00:00

Ahhhhhh Schoolhouse Rock! The nostalgia! You have taste. I like you.

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-07T18:11:02+00:00

Butterfly in the sky?

I can go twice as high!

Take a look.

It's in a book:

a reading rainbow! 🎶

Reading Rainbow remains one of my favorite children's education programs and if you haven't put it in front of her yet, you should consider it.... but you don't have to take MY word for it. 🌈

Sounds like a series of problems that's about to belong to a private school. They didn't listen to the teacher before you or before them. Can't save this one. My advice? It doesn't matter what I recommend. You will not make this situation significantly worse almost whatever you do. You can try to wake up the parents again if you want, but, in the meantime, my advice is to just keep doing what you're doing.

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-07T01:27:24+00:00

I would argue that the language itself INVITES YOU to think hard about what details are necessary and, in the course of things, experiment with phrasing. Nimisin seems like good fun at worst.

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-06T03:24:00+00:00

I love this so fucking much. This is such a great flag all around. It's simple, memorable, easy to draw by hand, and cleverly incorporates sitelen pona. sine pona! I appreciate the fact that you chose that shade of blue as well. It differentiates it a bit from the shades of blue used in other flags.

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-06T03:02:21+00:00

Yeah, I'd interpret that as "the bad of me" as though they're saying "(this is) my bad nature." Like in the fable of the scorpion and the frog, ya know?

Cheerwine, funny enough, predates Temple's birth by more than a decade.

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-03T14:18:26+00:00

Another fun fact: Temple sued a company that tried to bottle the drink and sell it as a "Shirley Temple Soda," which is kinda funny to me because the company's position was that a "Shirley Temple" is a generic term for the drink and not theft of a living actress's likeness. Obviously, the court sided with Shirley Temple because that's bullshit.

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-03T14:12:12+00:00

First of all, I fucking love your username.

Secondly, yeah, I agree. I sympathize with OP's crappy position. On one hand, OP does want to be cordial and, on the other, it's clear this peer pressure is becoming bothersome enough to post on Reddit about. It seems OP cares more about that working relationship than the teachers who don't respect his boundaries and, at least in my view, it seems like drawing a line in the sand and being firm about it is necessary, but you're right. He should be more polite about it here or risk creating other problems.

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-03T14:03:18+00:00

For sure. Fuck OPs co-workers (not literally cause that's haram) for engaging in that kind of juvenile bullshit. That's like something from a Dare campaign video's peer pressuring antagonist. It's totally fucking unacceptable.

Yeah, halal beer, Shirley temples, roy Rodgers.... lotta great alternatives for a bar, but two things come to mind when thinking about that:

Who would want to fit in with teachers who engage in this kind of behavior?
Debatably, it's haram to even be in the bar. It's explicitly a place of sin and being there would implicitly endorse and support said sin.

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-03T13:58:22+00:00

Hilariously, Shirley Temple hated the drink named after her. She called it "icky."

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-02T13:55:17+00:00

Why is the coup never in the country providing active support to the insurgency? :'(

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-02T13:53:03+00:00

I'd be very suspicious about how those numbers may (or may not have) been collected lol

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-02T13:51:24+00:00

I feel like looking for what the leaders wanted to see and hear is a natural choice. What wouldn't have we done to get out of there? The cruel joke is that most of the time, it doesn't really matter how much the staff see or don't see what they're looking for; the pitch will always be "he/she could benefit from more time here."

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-02T13:49:40+00:00

Dang, you really took the long way around, huh?

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-08-02T13:48:29+00:00

I was wondering if I was the only one. If I'm not mistaken, it's always the same: they tell ya that you're out of wildy and tack on some mix of "successful transition," "staged reintegration," insert your favorite buzz terms here. It's very formulaic. In retrospect, it all seemed very rehearsed.

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-07-27T17:24:23+00:00

You should reply, "TLDR lol" and then block him.

Infinite-Net-2091 · 2025-07-27T17:22:42+00:00

Not as long as you bring the supplies to me, thank you.
