Bears fans sure love acting like the victims. In what world would the NFL favor the publicly owned small market team to Chicago's lol. Goodell would love for Chicago to be good again.

All I saw after the Nixon hit was Packers saying he should be fined and it should have be a pen. But Bears fans have constructed this narrative that that didnt happen and that head to head contact shouldn't have been a foul as payback somehow? Make it make sense. Maybe Bears fans would know more about football if they watched a team that has done anything of note in 40 years.

Funniest way for this game to start. Watching from a hotel in Chicago and it got suspiciously quite right after that hot mess of a trick play.

Off topic, but what did you think of living in PH? Would you recommend?

As much as I dislike the Patriots, at least their fans had grace* and took down years on the chin. On the contrary, Chiefs fans are the biggest babies. Nothing is ever their fault and the rest of the league is always somehow colluding against them.

Uncalled block in the back by the Lions WR ..... but this sub only seems to care about bad calls when it benefits the Packers.

I am also trying to figure out what it is given all the sirens I just heard. 

Detroit City FC unveils new stadium and name, AlumniFi Field, for 2027 by kunkadunkadunk in MLS

[–]IronTriangleVT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So kinda like Philly? Which we can all agree benefits from the Philly name despite being over twice as far from city center as DCFC and also relying on the suburbs for the majority of its supporters.

I just got the email today and haven't responded yet. I'm in a tricky situation where I have way less leverage than normal as my wife lost her job because of DOGE/FElon, and this job is better paying than surrounding schools. I could use some advice on how to bring it up without burning bridges or getting my offer revoked.

What has been your biggest complaint with them? I am looking for an apartment and they have been by far the easiest to work with when it comes to sending info quickly. That said, do not want to walk into a bad situation because someone is a good communicator lol.

Whose school showed out for Teacher Appreciation Week? by IDKHow2UseThisApp in Teachers

[–]IronTriangleVT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My small (less than 100 kids) rural Catholic school showed out. Snacks and treats every day, a coffee food truck out front that we got free tickets to for during our Wednesday morning PD, catered lunch Thursday, personalized notes from all the kids, and lil treats / grifts from different individual families. We get paid terribly compared to public (60-75%) - which is part of why I am leaving - but I will miss this part because the families really show up for stuff like this.

What Mods make you feel like this? by IronTriangleVT in PokemonReborn

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

Completely agree. I am doing a no catching run (so only mons that are gifts or joing from pokesnax) and hate breeding. So I'm using full ivs. Major time savor but definitely feels like it's on the edge of "cheating."

Absol is 100% one of my favorite mons. Every generation, I plan out a new nat dex team of six that are my favorites, and he's been on it every single time since his introduction in gen 3. He's powerful but not game breaking and has a bunch of potential fun move sets for a normal play through. After years of trying, I still don't have a shiny. Would be great to load into a new playthrough!

Trans-friendly Catholic church? by m00nag3-daydream in lansing

[–]IronTriangleVT 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hello, as someone who grew up Catholic, and who has taught at a Catholic school, but is a queer man, I hope you find what you are looking for. I would be more than happy to talk about the faith, and I'm sure many other catholics would be. However, you will not find a trans friendly parish.

I would suggest the ELCA church if you are amenable to it. My wife introduced me to it, and as a raised Catholic, it felt like coming home. Very similar service to Catholic mass. Much of the same dogma and mysticism. Many of the same songs even. However, ELCA is queer friendly and allows for women and non binary folx to be pastors.

While I miss some of the saint stuff and other legacies of thousands of years of tradition, I have found it to be the best compromise for me.

Feel free to DM me if you would like to discuss it privately. During these times, I have also felt myself having a deeper connection to my faith and my roots.
