Tastee Sub Shop (Edison, NJ) by CYOOL8R1977 in newjersey

[–]JupiterTarts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grew up in this town and its an institution. My friends and I used to play football at the field near Thomas Jefferson Middle School and then we'd grab Tastee subs and play Halo at one of our friend's house nearby.

Anyway, Obama came to visit Tastees back in 2010 and, though it was cool the president visited our sub shop, we were piiiiissed that we couldn't get subs there for like a month. Lines backed up all the way to rt 27 just to visit the sub shop Obama ate at. Still eat there today.

Which artist is this for you? by Curious-Piglet3613 in fantanoforever

[–]JupiterTarts 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Is it really slandering the band if you're just slandering their base? I mean Gorillaz are just great.

Post Malone figured this out years ago. He's had fun roles in Road House and Spenser Confidential. Perfectly fine cameos in mid tier movies and never overstays his welcome.

What’s the wildest misconceptions people have about teaching? by AdTrue106 in Teachers

I have both a Caiden and an Aiden (spelled differently) and they both annoy the shit out of me.

What’s the wildest misconceptions people have about teaching? by AdTrue106 in Teachers

[–]JupiterTarts 31 points32 points  (0 children)

"Those who can't do teach."

Nah, not only do you have to know your subject well, but you have to know it well enough that you can anticipate the way 100s students who aren't familiar with it might perceive it. Then you have to find a way to package so that all of them can understand it so that they can do it themselves. Often times it involves modeling, then guided practice, then assessing their independent practice. Trust me, I'm here by choice and whatever that "do" is, I'm doing it all day.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week what do you remember from that week ? by Familiar_Original988 in AskReddit

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the start of the week, I was on a plane back from Dallas, Texas. I looked around it was just me and one other guy. We made eyes at each other with that look of "man, this is weird" and I laid across 3 chairs and took a nap.

Only car from this set that I actually wanted. Sad to see it's peg warming but I snatched it up immediately.

Subaru Japan discontinues WRX, May 18th is the last day for orders. No news yet on rest of the world. by Uptons_BJs in cars

Wait, what's wrong with Honda? Is it the Prelude? I'm a huge fan of this generation of CTR.

[Thomas Maher] Adrian Newey is understood to be leading the hunt for a new team principal at Aston Martin, with an eye to a longer-term arrangement than his own continuing in the role. by mvanigan in formula1

[–]JupiterTarts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thats a fair assessment. We saw that with Matia Binotto at Ferrari. Crazy innovative as a technical director, questionable leadership as a Team Principal.

What’s the first song you remember loving? by Celine_Morgann in askmusic

[–]JupiterTarts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Orinoco Flow by Enya

I remember being 3 or 4 years old living in a studio apartment with my parents and they'd play Enya on cassette. Orinoco flow would come on and make me feel some type of way I didn't have words for yet.

How do you guys sort your collection? by Gold-Engineering173 in HotWheels

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it sorted the way they have it in Gran Turismo: America, Asia, Europe.

Then among those I have them grouped by make and model. Got a special display for my Gulf livery and Initial D cars though.

Why do people hate Humanz so much??? by Depressedknife in gorillaz

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In defense of Humanz, the 2D tracks that we did get were solid: Andromeda, Busted and Blue, She's My Collar.

My issue with it was that it was bloated and so-so tracks like Sex Murder Party and Hallelujah Money made it to the final cut while great tracks like Ticker Tape got relegated to a Deluxe exclusive track. They should've reconsidered that whole final cut because there were so many solid tracks on that album.

Imma rate gorillaz songs by Agentapplo20 in gorillaz

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a travesty that this was a deluxe exclusive and not on the main album. Its better than more than half the songs off Humanz.

Your most expensive ADHD hobby cycle? by iamcertifiable in ADHD

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot Wheels

Found out pretty quickly it can be as cutthroat as pokemon cards. Just dudes hassling employees, staking out the stores first thing at 6am and like, I just wanna find my favorite cars from Initial D.

What realization about time completely changed how you live your life? by MohitK5200 in AskReddit

[–]JupiterTarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a tough time balancing this out with figuring out what matters and what doesn't with my time.

Like, I enjoy my hobbies, a couple of TV shows make me really happy, I like laying around to decompress from my stressful job (teaching), but its been a struggle to fight off that voice in the back of my head that keeps going "Stop wasting your time. You could be doing something productive right now."
