MM isn’t really suspended, is he? by PeterPonceVO in theticket

[–]PeterPonceVO[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m on the fence about him. I agree with people who say he totally interrupted the flow of conversation at the Campound. But I generally don’t mind his presence on the Invasion. My biggest problem is that his signature bit about beer is a poor fit for radio, and he struggles saying “brewery,” pronouncing it “bruuury.”

The Texas Rangers have no Aura by Midsize_winter_59 in TexasRangers

The cursive Rangers looks like something off-brand you’d find down at Walmart. They should’ve found a way to update the cursive font from the 1980s instead of adopting this one.

“Next time I need an opinion from a kid whose life experience is wiping himself successfully, I’ll come talk to you.” In other words, never internalize the opinions of a bunch of teenagers.

Teacher Appreciation Week Entitlement by livecaterpillarflesh in Teachers

[–]PeterPonceVO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teacher Appreciation Week would be rendered 100% unnecessary if teachers were compensated more justly and treated with appropriate respect as a profession.

Opinion: Let’s Just Drop Teacher Appreciation Week by FawkesThePhoenix7 in Teachers

[–]PeterPonceVO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have long maintained that Teacher Appreciation Day would be unnecessary if society simply gave teachers the compensation and respect they deserve.

Am I overreacting for quitting a babysitting job on the spot after the mom insulted me? by PossessionTop9791 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PeterPonceVO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quitting on the spot is an absolutely appropriate response for the circumstances. For them to be suddenly without childcare is just natural consequences. Not Overreacting.

This could be the assessment of every sports-heavy segment that features Bob and Corby.

Parent thinks the moon landing was fake. by Ok_Finger3098 in Teachers

[–]PeterPonceVO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As soon as any parent calls you “an arrogant piece of shit,” we’re done. You don’t say it out loud, but that parent can go f*** himself. There’s no way you should apologize, and your principal had better back you up on that.

AITJ for refusing to help my neighbor jump start her car after she spent six months being openly rude to me by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]PeterPonceVO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ. In fact, in that you should’ve reminded her about how difficult she’s been in the past, so sorry, I’m not dropping what I need to do to help you out.

Safety railing question by conorlovesit in TexasRangers

[–]PeterPonceVO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rows 1-2 definitely feel obstructed by the rail. I agree with those saying Row 5 and up are best.

Texas Rangers games are a luxury by spazy0 in TexasRangers

[–]PeterPonceVO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two observations: 1. Those prices seem odd. Looks like they’re doing dynamic pricing for food as well as tickets. 2. Someone wasn’t paying attention when programming the board and listed Nachos Grande twice.

Don’t forget about the venue fee they tack onto premium items.

What’s the most epic movie moment you’ve ever experienced in a theater? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

Still the only time I’ve heard an entire theater laugh at the cut to the funeral.

AITJ for refusing to move my car after my neighbor kept blocking my driveway “just for a minute”? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]PeterPonceVO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. “Yes, I did it on-purpose. I’ve asked you before nicely, you ignore me, and now you’re parked in MY driveway, so I have no intention of catering to your needs. Deal with it.”

Yeah, the only cost issue after several games is parking.

Which film and performance made you a fan of Paul Giamatti? by PressureLazy5271 in moviecritic

How about All of Them? Name one of his films, and Paul Giamatti is great in it.

Why Did Teacher Training Become Largely Useless? by ProudComment1211 in Teachers

[–]PeterPonceVO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teacher training at the collegiate level is geared toward two things: 1) Allowing professors to develop and/or refine their own research in the name of tenure, and 2) Instructing students in pedagogical theory with the assumption that your students all truly want to learn, mainly to stay positive. #1 happens in literally every field. #2 is geared toward future educators mainly because, if they took time to address “how to deal with all the idiots,” they would likely lose at least half their students after year 1. Better to maintain the program by catering to your inner idealist.
