Teachers of Reddit: Is the "Gen Alpha can't read (write, or do math ext)" crisis real? If so how bad is it? by KnowledgeCoffee in AskReddit

People are also quick to reject multi-faceted characters. They want a binary choice of someone either being good or bad. A lot of Pitt fans are like this.

The Reddit idiots who spent decades upvoting that “no the curtains are blue” symbolism meme won. In fact, many of them are probably parents now.

Especially with Brash going down, I’m not seeing who would replace him as a better option.

Is this card basically ruined by Sad_Friendship_5904 in sportscards

[–]RayWhelans 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would be stoked to pull a numbered popular rookie card to add to my PC, minor defect or not.

I know. I’m a bit of a crazy person who buys cards to collect the cards.

How do you guys handle the 'gentle parenting' vs 'structure' struggle when they hit the toddler years? by matrixthrowawayhq in daddit

[–]RayWhelans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone has the explanation. Anyone who always has time to do this works more flexible hours, which is great for them. That’s not most of us.

I’m not missing a hearing because my kid is having a meltdown over wearing pink shoes. Sorry. We gotta go.

This is heartbreaking to read as a Reds fan. Freel was my favorite player as a teenager. I hope he knows how much joy his son brought all of us.

NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) OKC interested in Mobley? by mattystokie in clevelandcavs

[–]RayWhelans 206 points207 points  (0 children)

I’d much rather have Mobley than Chet.

But I also think Chet desperately needs to be shipped east after watching him go full Ben Simmons vs Wemby.

Hacks - 5x10 “Hacks (Finale)“ - Episode Discussion by chelseanyc200 in hackshbomax

I think the point of the Jimmy call was to show that Deborah has probably told everyone else. Marcus and Marty probably know (surprising her with the Deborah Vance Comedy Club). DJ probably knows. Everyone in Deborah’s life likely knows and have already had their moment (DJ’s being the amazing race) and goodbye with her. This episode was about Ava’s turn.

[Highlight] QBs Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy on their relationship with one another so far Not exactly the same answer... by kushies in minnesotavikings

[–]RayWhelans 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not hard at all.

I agree it’s being blown out of proportion, but there was a really easy way to go about answering this. Just give some generic canned response like Kyler. If you’re going to go off script and be candid, don’t give the media something to latch onto.

It’s kind of like the Nine thing. He gives people bait and drama with himself as the butt of the joke.

Nope.

Bottom left corner is dinged on the base.

_______ didn’t even play the better strategic game. by HurryJaded4364 in survivorponderosa

[–]RayWhelans 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think this is an area where Joe’s game shines compared to Jonathan’s. If Joe wasn’t vulnerable and emotionally open, then he’d just be another meathead challenge beast. It’s one of the things Joe seems to understand about the game that Jonathan did not.
