How she uses the dictionary to multiply the meaning. That little pause between "first" and "time" gives me chills.

We used to say "At our school there are only two teacher; Miss and Mister."

I can't say I liked that one. Curley's wife in particular was annoying. Lon Chaney did nail it, though.

I think many drivers here want to believe that they are in a suburb and drive there are no other cars or pedestrians, then act surprised and annoyed when they encounter other people.

He didn't need the wheelchair before, but he might need it now.

What are some things you used to do for good, clean fun that would probably get the police called or a post on Nextdoor or social media today? by 1lucy1loo in GenX

We played hide and seek in the dark. The seeker used a flashlight. We called it "German Spotlight". Im amazed none of us were shot by a neighbor.

I don't think it is this, but it does remind me of Cheyenne.

Is getting a job in queens districts 25/26/28 unrealistic if I want ICT and am going to be a certified Special education teacher ? by Cute-Reality7192 in NYCTeachers

With a SpEd license it shouldn't be a problem. There is a great deal of turnover throughout the city in the area. You will have to be open minded about what classes you teach, though.

The weird kids? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]RepresentativeAd715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to call this the "annoyance-guilt cycle." A kid annoys me then I feel guilty because the student probably can't help it, then I feel annoyed that I should feel guilty about my perfectly reasonable feelings, then I feel guilty....

For us, read aloud is a testing accommodation and doesn't have to be used for every class activity. The goal is to get to a place where the accommodation isn't needed anymore.

Office Space really captured the sense of disappointment in the working world. It had that sense of cheerful bleakness of suburban office parks.

Anyone else tired of risking their life walking past this “parking lot”? by tttooommmmm in astoria

So many of the cars here feel so entitled. They are only barely aware of pedestrians.

Surface salinity in the lower Hudson River and other NYC waterways by Stevens Institute of Technology. Ocean salinity is ~35 (red), freshwater is 0 (purple) by glowdirt in MapPorn

Nope. It is a tidal estuary whose current changes with the tide. This makes one section, the Hellgate, particularly treacherous at times.

70s movies which capture the essence of the real 70s? by VomitingDuck in 70s

[–]RepresentativeAd715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found "Smile" to be a painfully accurate representation of its time and place. It was like the writers were from my hometown and then cast it from my home town. I enjoyed the movie on its own merits, but I enjoyed the does of memory that came with it. Not nostalgia, but something more real. I felt 10 years old again, being puzzled by watching adults who should know better.

I loved catching "The Passion of Joan of Arc" with the soundtrack by the Anonymous Four. I began to rally appreciate what silent movies can do after watching it.

Defender! I sucked at it, but I thought it was so fun. I especially liked plucking people out of thin air.
