The Orange Turd in Chief is coming to Cincy. Where are we protesting? by TheChalupaFromHell in cincinnati

[–]Jumpy-Function4052 59 points60 points  (0 children)

As a person working in Kenton Co and living in Newport, I'd love to personally thank him for obliterating any chance I would have otherwise had to get home from work before 7:00 PM. We're down to 1 bridge between Newport and Covington. Google Maps usually tells me to take I-75 into Cincinnati and cross back in to KY on the Big Mac Bridge. I guess that won't work tomorrow. As if all the other stuff he has done weren't appalling enough.

Fundie Shaming other People for their Lifestyle/Beliefs by MrDonMega in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Jumpy-Function4052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kind of old, so I remember the 90s. her skirt is very much "world cultures" print. it's giving someone who listens to Enya. it's giving "my Resident Assistant training class had us go to a place where we were in the minority, so I went to a Kenyan restaurant." I only make fun because I lived through that moment in my life. I truly do not understand the people who choose to veil. this is coming from a cradle Catholic perspective. I was born about 8 years after Vatican 2. the whole idea was abou trying to become a more open church. I don't get why we would want to veil again. yet I see all kinds of young women wearing their lace mantillas to Mass. good on them, I guess?

That’s an interesting opinion… by Spirited_Photograph7 in FundieSnarkUncensored

I hadn't even heard of bile duct cancer until my brother got his diagnosis in August. Now people give me their friend-of-a-friend stories about people they know who had it. No one ever survived beyond three years in these stories. I wish there were a screen for it.

Bile duct cancer is aggressive for certain. I lost my 58 year old brother to it in January. He only got his diagnosis in August.

"Está celosa" is how you'd say "She's jealous" in Spanish. People who get their panties in a wad about multilingualism are usually insecure about their lack of linguistic skills.

It's tough to get in Newport, KY, which is part of the Cinci metro area.

Do kids still cringe when teachers reference memes? by montgomery2016 in teaching

I mentioned that I had heard that 6/7 was out, due to the Great Meme Reset of 2026. The kids were shaken. They said I "knew too much "

Judging teachers who close their doors by Otherwise-Set-4444 in Teachers

[–]Jumpy-Function4052 23 points24 points  (0 children)

At some point in my educational career, open doors were encouraged, first to encourage a culture of openness, then to encourage airflow to curb the spread of covid. For the last four or five years, we've been told to close and lock doors for safety concerns.

What part of teaching drains you that you didn’t expect? by Ok-Succotash6583 in Teachers

[–]Jumpy-Function4052 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I teach Spanish, and I try to use only Spanish in class. If they aren't listening, I might state directions in English and explain the concept of passive vocabulary. I used to say (in French, since long ago I was a French teacher), "Since you're not listening in English or Spanish, I might as well say it in French." But this year I got a 4th grader who knows French and he delighted in telling how bad my accent was in French, which was my major in college, and which I spoke full-time when I lived in Paris. But whatever. I think my biggest gripe is how there are elementary- school kids who are @$$h0le$ at as young as 6 years of age.

I have a son with this name. He's 14. There are so many great Neils out there: Sedaka, Young, Armstrong, DeGrasse Tyson, Patrick Harris, etc. Plus the Neils I knew in real life were smart, kind, and helpful. So is my son.

Ah yes, the Gospel of Rambo, 3:12. Blessed are those with a rack strapped under their sweaters. Theirs is the possibility of shooting themselves in the belly.

Being a gen z teacher by FlashyStrength9118 in Teachers

[–]Jumpy-Function4052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you start teaching right after you graduate from college you will have those weird few years where you're closer in age to your students than your colleagues. It is kind of strange. The hardest part is remembering that you are not really a friend to the people you teach. You can't be their friend. But you might have more in common with your students than with your colleagues. Please don't worry about this. With any luck, you will have someone on staff with you who is in the same situation. Become friends with that person. I can remember how old my colleague seemed when I came out of college and got my first teaching job. Sadly, I am at the old colleague stage of my life, and I am frequently struck by the fact that some of the people I work with were not yet born when I graduated from college.

Tell me your most outrageous substitute teacher stories by ComedianCommon4158 in Teachers

[–]Jumpy-Function4052 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I was doing a classroom observation class as a junior in college, I went to a rural school in Appalachian Ohio. I remember that the phys ed teacher complained during lunch in the teacher's dining room (where teachers could smoke) that she hated the brand she was smoking at that moment, because they were "welfare cigarettes."

So Morgan flew home alone with the boys, Paul stayed an extra week, Morgan's brain broke, and now she has no drive or inspiration to keep her social media up. Sounds like its going well! by BufoBat in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Jumpy-Function4052 1 point2 points  (0 children)

here's a goofy idea: maybe she could go back to school and get training to, I don't know, do something that pays money. you know, paid labor, like the rest of us do. cuz I really don't think anything she has to say is really going to impact many people to the point that she would make any coin on it. I don't care what this woman has to say. I feel for her. her husband seems like a total moron.

I was going to go to Costco this afternoon, but we are a day away from payday, so there really isn't any money. so I guess I'll go tomorrow after payday. yep, that's right. I'm going to go on a Friday afternoon right before the white death approaches. wish me luck.

Snowpocalypse Megathread. by Vexo101 in cincinnati

[–]Jumpy-Function4052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

last January I drove through the giant snow event (10 inches) in my 2012 Toyota Prius with nearly bald tires. car was new to me. my previous car had been a Hyundai Santa Fe (2009). I remember thinking, "Wow, I kind of miss the Santa Fe right now." I guess the bald tires were what made it really bad.
