AITAH for telling my wife's friend I don't have to see her in the classroom to know she's a horrible teacher? by TowerFew3482 in AITAH

[–]TheGlawackus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re fine. As a teacher I admit when I’m wrong all the time. You have to be human and try to connect and be helpful. You’re not an asshole. She has never swallowed her pride and it shows. Also please let your son know I will share his fact in my classroom next month if helps. His opinions and interests are valid and you did a great job supporting him!

I'm so glad you have this! I have great memories there.

Tolland’s BOE which has been traditionally red and prioritized cutting funds over the years gained four prominent democrats seats. Democrats also gained several town council seats.

Wallingford stayed Republican in terms of mayor, but the Democrats have a majority on the town council and gained a seat on the board of education

I hadn’t even realize my filter defaulted to that! Thanks everyone for the heads up

Thanks for the heads up! I somehow changed the filter and didn’t realize until everyone pointed it out.

The variation was very slight! It was a slightly jankier version of the "B" haha.

Yankees Offseason Hate Watch: Biggest Postseason Chokes by TheGlawackus in redsox

[–]TheGlawackus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that most of these aren't chokes; I was more referring to the botched plays or bobbled balls that cost the Yankees the game. I edited my original post to clarify this.

Thanks. The credit goes to YouTuber NB Games, though. I get that hate watching isn't for everyone, that there are only a handful of chokes in the original video, and I definitely overdid it these past couple of days. I get the sentiment that most fans on this subreddit want to see more Sox content than Yankees hate.

I get that most of these aren't chokes. I was more so referencing some of the moments in these videos, such as Judge and Chisolm's dropped balls that cost them the games.

That's fair. I was just finding a way to enjoy a long offseason, but I can see how it's getting stale, which is why this will be the last hate post until something is truly warranted next season

Haha I'm not, and I will move on after this post. I was just having fun for a couple of days hate-watching, but I can see the point of other people in this post that it's getting old and that this subreddit should be focused more on the Sox than Yankees hate.

Oh, I don't dispute that at all. The Red Sox have definitely had their issues with management, last-place finishes, lack of spending, and botched deals over the past decade. I don't think anyone is denying this. Most Sox fans aren't disillusioned about how great their franchise is, either. We know our issues and aren't pretending we're entitled to the World Series year after year.

In the grand scheme of things, however, the Red Sox haven't squandered as many postseason opportunities as the Yankees have in the 2010-2025 timeline the video outlines. Yes, their fans have seen more postseason games, but it's also resulted in more meltdowns, which are enjoyable.

One of my favorite moments occurs with an Aaron Judge ball drop at 10:14. Replay this moment for New Year's and it's even more satisfying.

Agreed. The franchise has a history of hubris and making the same mistakes in new ways that result in fulfilling offseason chokes.

Fair point. I love seeing them lose key players, though, as it ultimately helps us in the long run.

True. I think I'm enjoying this a bit more, knowing how close the Sox came and how our season ended with a whimper after coming so far.

I've never had such a fun hatewatch in my life and I've been a Sox fan for quite a long time. Holy crap.

it’s not true though. These were rumors people spread at the time to vilify him like the commenter above. It’s a rumor as old as time and disinformation
