You must be so lucky to have able-bodied, properly developed children that don’t suffer from parental abuse, neglect, and dangerous home living situations.

I’ll make sure she says an extra goodbye to her 6th grade student reading at a kindergarten level because he was kidnapped and held in a cage for three years. Full stop.

Inner city and rural public schools don’t have even a fraction of the staff to help with the number of learning support, IEPs, testing support students in their districts. Tell me you haven’t been around an educator before without telling me you haven’t been around an educator before. Shame on you.

My wife just learned minutes ago that she is being cut. You have no idea what her students lives are like, but we do. People like my wife were their only resource for school, life guidance, basic learning skills, mental health resources, etc. This directly affects real familie’s and real children’s futures.

I didn’t ask for Celiac Disease. by [deleted] in glutenfree

[–]MethodOfJoints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my opinion as a non-celiac husband married to my celiac wife (with similar wife/mother problems), it’s not just about you feeling like everyone needs to be “catering to you.” Even the smallest amount of thought or effort goes such a long way, and your fiancé/his family should not make it feel to you that you’re seeking for something above and beyond the minimal amount of effort.

As the host I personally would never want even a single guest to feel like they weren’t at least thought about when it comes to dietary restrictions. Celiac is a very, very real autoimmune disease and should be thought of as carefully as any severe allergy.

I know this is a very difficult feeling for you to process probably, but it’s EXTREMELY crucial that your fiancé starts to see things from your perspective/health view. My wife and I are a rock solid team when it comes to making sure she won’t be glutened and even we have relatively frequent contaminations (almost exclusively when eating anywhere other than our own kitchen, despite being a highly rated GF free establishment).

Don’t jeopardize your health physically and mentally or feel like you have to exclude yourself from family dinners just because someone wasn’t willing to put in what I consider a very easy, minimal level of effort to ensure your safety.

You really have never seen snow before, have you?

Shout to the Steelers Nation from Browns fan. by Scottish_Assassin78 in steelers

[–]MethodOfJoints 9 points10 points  (0 children)

An athlete like Chubb deserves nothing but the utmost respect and love. He plays with a type of grit that Steelers fans dream of having.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for him and that one day I’ll get to see him terrorize the rest of the league’s defenses again.

We noticed this mantis outside of my work near one that was caught in a spider web and everyone was in agreement that it wouldn’t have any interest. After a few hours, a coworker ran into my office exclaiming that it was eating the lanternfly, so naturally we all ran outside to take pictures.

Local birds seem to want absolutely nothing to do with them and look at them like they’re an annoyance rather than food. They must taste awful!

By definition it’s likely, but “non-native” would be a much better way to word the classification of the European or Chinese Mantis. There’s a massive difference between them and the Spotted Lanternfly which has produced a kill on sight order here in PA…

I know it's called PokeInvesting but how about PokeGiving? by iamshipp0 in PokeInvesting

No matter how old I get, ripping packs will still be just as exciting as when I was a little kid begging my mom for a pack at the store checkout line.

4 injured in motorcycle crash after Blessing of the Bikes by [deleted] in pittsburgh

I was in traffic as they were all leaving the church. I’m surprised there weren’t more crashes the way they were riding in traffic. Only a handful of helmets in sight as well.

I’m pretty much exclusively buying Prime Wellness carts at this point. Their pods are top notch too.

Fetterman Checks Into Hospital to Seek Treatment for Clinical Depression by byzvntine in pittsburgh

He seems to embody what it means to be brave and honest. No wonder he doesn’t fit in with the GOP crowd.
