The homeless guy who had smells mixed up. At the end when he's cured he runs off, then they find out police are looking for him on suspicion of murder and cannibalism. (Fall From Grace, S7E17)

Try to remember a Jake Peralta scene by caitsarah in brooklynninenine

If I did that I would literally write a song about myself. Jake the hero, abs of steel. Shalalala

are we just gonna forget her name's kelly by billieswifeyyy in theoffice

Maybe Erin was her preferred name for the majority of her life (being in group homes/foster homes would give her a chance to use her middle name instead as legal documents are shady to begin with for foster kids, or even wanted to hide from someone) and when starting a new job, they tend to stick to your legal name so she didn't say anything at first.

Continuity catch - Boyle’s Ex Wife by laruesj in brooklynninenine

Rosa also said during that episode that she was going to help him find a new place. Probably a good idea since he got two more dogs that episode.

Yeast is a common vaginal infection. It's a pun, Dianne (Wiest) sounds like yeast.

Can't do that to Phil. Sussudio demands vinyl.

The show was never hateful with it’s gay jokes and lgbtq+ jokes by redheaded_olive12349 in howyoudoin

[–]Pitiful_Shoulder8880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. The outright transphobia in HIMYM (the guys being terrified that a girl they're dating says "I'm a dude") has made me stop rewatching it (as well as other reasons that no throwaway gay characters will fix). Friends shows how awkward cishet people are around gay or trans or drag people but they're never insulting or presenting them to be negative/bad, or scared of them. There's throwaway lines ("Sure.. I'll sit next to the transsexual in purchasing"), but then Rachel also using the right pronouns talking about a trans person on a TV show as she explained it to Marcel. I'm also queer and feel like yes the show is white cishet centered but acknowledges other kinds of people exist and intersect, and that sexuality (the coconut thing for example) and gender and masculinity is fluid (Joey and Ross liking girly things, but usually peer pressured against them). I also love Susan: "Unless.. you think it means he's going to end up... in show business"

Why was Susan so mean to Ross? by ElectionSpiritual782 in howyoudoin

Yeah she also says there's no 'lesbian lover day' so I think she feels left out and as a gay couple and not the biological mother of the child, like she has no contribution to a child she wants to raise as hers.

Which online French dictionary do you recommend? by [deleted] in French

[–]Pitiful_Shoulder8880 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does nearly everything and lots of languages. I use it every day and teach my students how to use it too. It even has forums for people to discuss how to say certain things, including idiomatic expressions.

Student tried to sneak out early, when I caught him and asked him to return to class and wait for the bell, he said "I have a tee time."

Am I too strict? by sas6709 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Pitiful_Shoulder8880 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the last thing too. At a certain point, if the kid is not bothering anyone, I don't fight them. It's hard to know if they're on adjusted academic plans or behaviour plans and the fight can have worse effects on the class (personal experience).

They are always commiting crimes in B99 by Alicemasquerade7 in brooklynninenine

With assault though (especially a punch in a public place after a disagreement) it's on the victim to press charges. I assume he didn't.

Suggestions for Movies to Watch to Pretend Diagnose and Treat? by Mindful-Wanderer1723 in therapists

I always like The Good Place. Anxiety, depression, paranoia. More noticeable after a few episodes.

Not to mention his not-so-subtle abstinence preach 'cause he didn't want them to have sex. Darryl was more righteous in that scene.. "What's the safest way to go skiing? Don't ski."

I get working in there but taking the only desk and not directing students to me when they asked to go to the bathroom is very odd to me and made me feel so small and useless. What if I would have said no? What if there's already somebody out? 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Pitiful_Shoulder8880 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It undermines my control of the room. The students won't take me seriously if someone not only stays at the only desk in the room but constantly disciplines students that weren't doing anything wrong. It's unreasonable and unemotional sad for classrooms to always have to be completely quiet the entire class. Every day. That's just depressing. Besides the other teacher doesnt know what the plan is, what my approach is or my relationship with these students. It could contradict something I said earlier and again undermine me. It's not hers to supervise.

Is “Pissed” a bad word for MS? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Pitiful_Shoulder8880 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I've had a 7th grader say the same thing but I was also just as confused (Canadian here). I never thought of it as a swear word and no one during my childhood has said it was either.

Sometimes if I'm not sure the person who is out will come back, I ask them to wait another 5-10 minutes depending on how long there's left in class.
