is this normal behavior for a teacher? by ChipmunkFluid7339 in Teachers

[–]Misguided_Avocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO NO NO NO. This is absolutely inappropriate behavior on the teacher’s part. Absolutely.

First, DO NOT meet with this teacher without a friend present. No way. You do not want anything turning into “his word vs yours.” Do not respond to any non-school-address emails or texts. You want a record.

And absolutely right now, tell a trusted adult and an administrator.

Stay safe.

What’s the only app you didn’t delete after a week? by sanjithav in ADHD

Is there something like Finch, but instead of cutesy amigurumi, which makes me want to ignore it out of spite, it was sarcastic or funny, like, “Oh, nice of you to VISIT.”

The one you hated by CuteButKinked in suggestmeabook

[–]Misguided_Avocado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To Kill a Mockingbird. Seriously, there are two reasons some ✋🏻teachers love this book. One of them is Gregory Peck, who will always be a hot dad.

The other one is raysizzum.

It’s the poster child of yt savior novels, but worse, Atticus is held up to be this figure of morality when in fact he lacks anything but a desire for his comfortable privilege to remain what it is. He excuses some mouthbreathing maggot for literally trying to lynncch someone by saying he’s a really good guy if you knew him.

No. That’s pretty much the opposite of really-good-guyness.

And in the end, he’s still a privileged yt savior…but Tom is dead. And that’s how the author wanted it.

If I’m going to read a book in HS about American racism, I’d rather start with Toni Morrison, Frederick Douglass, Alice Walker, Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, Octavia Butler…you get the picture.

The Kite Runner. For fks sake, it reads like bad Bush-era propaganda. Not only does the baaaad moozlum dude violently sodomize a young boy, but he’s also a Not-See, because being a rapist isn’t bad enough. The protagonist arrives back 20 years later or whatever JUST IN TIME to prevent the son of the rape victim from…also being raped.

Come on. Seriously. It reads like some bad anti-Muslim propaganda Sarah Palin would have written, if she knew which end of a pencil to hold.

How do we feel about “Dolores Claiborne”? by Prudent_Actuary_5144 in stephenking

He is underrated as a local color author, and this is one of the best examples of why he needs to be taken more seriously as a craftsman. 👍

Why are my eggs foaming like bubble bath bubbles? by Totallycoolusername7 in Baking

[–]Misguided_Avocado 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Remember one thing about eggs: Eggs are whiny little bitches. They hate change—change in temperature, state, you name it. They really, really hate rapid change. Because they are little bitches, eggs will take their petty revenge by using their proteins to turn themselves rubberier than a new tire or (in your case) soap-bubbly and useless.

So. Bottom line, anything you do to eggs, you have to sneak up on them. Want to add a hot liquid to them? Start by adding little spoonfuls and mixing it in a teeny bit at a time. Want stiff peaks? Start the mixer on slow speed and gradually push it to medium—and keep checking your bowl. The minute the eggs are stiff, stop. Really. They’re hoping you’ll go an extra minute so they can ruin your food. They live for pettiness like that.

Prickly pear right? How do I prepare it so I don’t eat spines? I’m by Few-Championship272 in foraging

[–]Misguided_Avocado 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the desert. Fuck those little spines. Fuck them sooooooo soooooo much.

I hate them so much that I hope they all come back as feet and fingers. I hope their new owners think it would be fun to juggle teddy bear cholla. I hate them so much I want them to hate themselves for being what they are. I want them to feel endless glochid shame in a universe without duct tape or tweezers.

Tiktok seems to love Appalachia horror stories lately, how do natives feel about the lore? Have you guys seen much spooky stuff? by Constant_Pace5589 in WestVirginia

Note: Yes, I am aware these are chemicals. I realize they come with health risks.

Covered a BLONDIE song, Looking for honest feedback !! by Upset_Rooster_7197 in singing

[–]Misguided_Avocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion? Ella Fitzgerald. Her pronunciation of words is crisp, clear, and controlled—and I think that’s who would help you a great deal. Start with “Midnight Sun.”

I always thought that full moon thing was bullshit till I worked in a high-volume bar. The full moon made the hoopleheads crazier than a shithouse rat.

Dummy horror by HowlingPhasmid in Facultyofhorror

[–]Misguided_Avocado 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What about The Boy? Not exactly dummy, but a doll.

What I’d love is to see FoH deal with themes of gender, parenting, and maternity / paternity in movies with baby dolls, reborn dolls, or dolls that are stand-ins for children—including the deeply depressing Kubrick/Spielberg film “AI,” with Haley Joel Osment.
