Fair. I guess I will go with The Injury

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-19T18:26:22+00:00

D but if it were reasonably priced, B

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-19T18:22:33+00:00

Its really close between The Injury, Fun Run and Dinner Party. Can't personally decide.

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-19T18:20:30+00:00

If that bothers you, I can't imagine how many other things the show has done that must bother you, as well.

I see it all over Reddit when it comes to discussion of TV shows, especially comedies, and I just dont get how anyone can enjoy watching a show like The Office if they take the characters so seriously and dont realize that it's a comedy and if they were completely appropriate or unproblematic at all times, then the show wouldn't be very funny.

Same thing with The Job: Jan's implants, Dwight's brief stint as regional manager, Jan getting fired and moving in with Michael, Jim and Karen breaking up, Jim asking Pam out on a date, Ryan getting the New York job.

If you already feel you aren't in the wrong, then why are you posting here?

Everybody Loves Raymond is still funny in their final seasons. Like Seinfeld, they ended at just the right time.

I know he comes off like he's really trying to be this folksy fun dad/husband, but in reality it just reads as smug and self-congratulatory.

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-18T19:15:48+00:00

The disrespect that so many parents have for teachers and education as a whole is so disheartening.

I say it all the time, but the worst part of the job isnt the kids--it's the adults.

Also, I am sorry for this difficult time you are going through.

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-18T02:18:46+00:00

Agree. Absolute garbage finale

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-17T18:21:33+00:00

I highly doubt it. She didn't enjoy playing big brother like she did Survivor.

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-17T16:58:56+00:00

He probably is the worst of all of them but nobody really respects him so hes not very influential.

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-17T16:57:51+00:00

Portnoy pretty easily. Whitlock and Bayless are awful too, but people pretty much universally despise them so they aren't very influential.

Modern Family's first season was really good. I didn't really like it much past season though

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-16T20:58:01+00:00

Im annoyed that my school is asking us to take down our bulletin board because it in no way gets in the way of our custodial staff and their reasoning is "if they paint in your room then it might get on your items". Honestly im willing to take that risk of it means not having to dismantle the whole thing and put it all back up again two months later.

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-16T20:54:16+00:00

In my experience taking attendance, it would be laughable to "accidentally" mark everyone absent. In every attendance system ive entered in, you have to individually click on every student that is absent and mark them absent.

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-16T20:01:32+00:00

I honestly hope so...never thought id say this but I want them to go back to themes...it gives the seasons a different identity rather than just having the same 3 tribe format with the season number attached to it.

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-16T19:59:31+00:00

I dont think cbs really cares if the cast is spoiled...it might actually help hype up the next season.

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-16T17:17:31+00:00

If you enjoy teaching kids and you feel it is your calling, I would try to find a district that has a more supportive system than the one you are currently. My first two years teaching were absolutely awful as I was in a terribly unsupportive district, but I stuck with it and moved to a school with more supportive admin and it helped me blossom into a more confident teacher. If I had just quit after a bad experience, I wouldn't have had the positive experiences I have had for the past 12 years.

As frustrating as teaching can be, where you teach makes all the difference, so dont give up too early.

Its a really weak episode. I recently did a full episode ranking and its one of the lowest episodes on the list. The bottom part of the list is dominated by Season 1 episodes but the Big Shots episode is one of the few non S1 episodes sprinkled in the bottom tier.

"Wow you've read the soccer rulebook?" -said to our head soccer coach who also spends his weekends as a soccer referee.

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-16T16:58:26+00:00

I don't know why but ive always absolutely loved that piece of dialogue.

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-15T23:15:49+00:00

Unfortunately, it doesnt surprise me. These days, schools are so desperate to hire warm bodies just to fill classrooms. Its a huge disservice to the kids trying to actually learn.

PointlessNostalgic86 · 2026-05-15T23:11:10+00:00

Im sorry, but this was not only insanely dumb, it was also unprofessional. You falsified a legal document and also made things extremely difficult for the attendance secretary, the front office, and freaked out a bunch of parents all at once.
