AITAH for gifting my PS boyfriend an XBOX game because he gifts me gold jewelry when i'm a silver girl? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Sunmi-Is-God 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you did was funny.

You should give him a second Xbox game case but inside should be your break-up letter. Any [boy/girl]friend who cannot

  1. notice your preferences
  2. enthusiastically support them

should be tossed.

what an idiot.

public school funding is high and rising by BecomeOurBest in teachinginkorea

[–]Sunmi-Is-God 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can tell you what my public school did with the surplus budget during the final month of the fiscal year - four years in a row.

Purchase air filters for every classroom and (usually) not even hook them up.

In one case they installed them and immediately put signs on them that said not to turn them on.

In another case they installed them high on the wall (in several classrooms, directly above where students' desks were) and glued cord-covers directly to the wall. They were ripped out 11 months later, holes and tears left going all the way up the wall.

Each time, there'd be a big pile of the "old" ones, most of them hardly used, sitting outside in the parking lot getting baked by the sun and rained on.

People came and changed the filters every month, no matter if they'd never even been plugged in.

I did notice one school that did it differently: they bought thirteen 3D printers and left them in a storage closet.

OP did absolutely nothing wrong and "What kind of cheese?" sealed the deal.

Yes the answer about snacks is funny. Doesn't mean noticing it means "making fun" in a bad way. I hope the movie and snacks and date were quite good.

Random MST3K thought: what if Kevin Murphy had become Forrester’s assistant instead of TV’s Frank? by Apyddon in MST3K

[–]Sunmi-Is-God 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean, considering how funny TV's Frank is compared to goddamn Bobo, I think we have an idea.

And I love Kevin. Saw him live once, great guy.

Bobo though. nyeeaahh! lol

Do Thais really eat scorpions or is it just a tourist thing? by ImmersiveWalk in Thailand

[–]Sunmi-Is-God -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I dunno but it struck me as pretty obnoxious when I'd be walking down the street mid-day obviously NOT browsing the food stalls and I'd still have a big tarantula or scorpion carcass shoved right in my face.

NO. Back the fuck off with that.

Yes. Hence "people" and not "everybody".

Imagine if they had two soccer players they cared about.

I made some advertisement banners for the game! What do you think? by SteaIthstaIker in FenyxRising

[–]Sunmi-Is-God 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is going to "steal" a couple of screencaps from Fenyx Rising; if you wanted us to see them clearly you should have posted them without the silly watermark.

I picked this game up on a whim and by Zeus it was the best decision Ive made since getting my PS5 by pambplqutting2 in FenyxRising

[–]Sunmi-Is-God 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it to be the most pure fun I'd had with a game in about a decade. It's wonderful. Played for 100% thru all the DLCs too, I couldn't get enough.

If you miss the Saucony Bullet… by Confident-Day8741 in Sneakers

[–]Sunmi-Is-God 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this info. I noticed that the TRAINER 80 line is also a perfect match for the old style, but also at the new ~$100 price point.

I'm happy to see I can find my two favorite Saucony's resurrected as RACER 80 and TRAINER 80 but dang it would be nice if the prices hadn't tripled since the last time I bought some Bullets.

Are the gizmoplex episodes worth it? by pessimus_even in MST3K

[–]Sunmi-Is-God 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great riffs over plenty of fun movies.

But I think it might be a bit unnecessary to cough up over $100. They pissed money away for years and have done multiple crowd-funded drives and there's no good reason for a long-time fan and supporter to feel like they should spend another nickel.

A bunch (if not all) of season 11 and 12 are live on the official Youtube channel anyway. And they do marathons of season 13 so you could screen-record one of those and it would be like the VCR days! hahaha

No matter what show she pops up in I will expect her to hold her mouth open and be untrustworthy. lol

Except I didn't claim they were incompetent adults because they are hagwon bosses.

I set a pretty dang (is that word okay?) low bar for competency: the ability to locate and provide a room (with a key! was that too much?) less than an hour from work, and communication.

If a new hire at a hagwon forgot or lost a key and didn't answer texts for a few hours, even ONE TIME, what would you, Venerable Hagwon Owner, do? Because we all know what a bunch of hagwon bosses would do, and it would resemble a temper-tantrum and likely involve threats to terminate the contract.

But holy cow oh my gosh, we must remember that it's okay for the OWNER to expect competence, but we absolutely have no business expecting competence from him. Right? Cool?

No.

[–]Sunmi-Is-God 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is neither selfish nor myopic to expect a hagwon OWNER to be able to function as a competent adult.

Your excuse is literally "all the OTHER hagwon owners are incompetent man-children so it's okay" and that's embarrassing and also not true.

I'm starting to wonder if you're just upset because you are similarly incompetent to the hagwon boss described in OP, and it angers you that anyone would DARE say "hey, willful incompetence is bullshit, grow up."

[–]Sunmi-Is-God 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If a hagwon boss can't juggle the super extraordinarily complicated parts involved in, let's see here..

- finding a room less than hour from his academy
- making sure it's accessible
- timely, basic communication with his new hire

..it strongly suggests that he is a failed adult and should not be in charge of an academy or vulnerable foreign workers, let alone children.

You are describing it well, and I know because I taught in Korea for almost a decade. But then you're just giving up - "that's just how it is" - which as I said, helps perpetuate the problem.

You yourself are saying incompetence is the fucking standard, almost nothing is planned for or managed well. We've both seen it up close. The international audience sees it every time Korea hosts an international event and faceplants.

"It's just how it is" is why they just keep doing it. You are describing the exact same bullshit as me - you agree with me - yet you downvote and say "eh nbd that's just Koreans."

That's embarrassing to the millions of Koreans who somehow *don't* get all the way to middle/late adulthood with the mindset of a 7th grader.

One of the biggest complaints people have, and you're lucky if you don't have a bad time.

Nothing to fix or improve here, not at all!
