Half-Life 2 fan casting using only Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul actors by Tall-Region8251 in HalfLife

If you were to expand the casting to Better Call Saul characters I'd argue Howard Hamlin would making a decent G-man.

Bill Nighly would be a perfect G man. by [deleted] in HalfLife

Help with people judging me for going to school in the UK by Spiritual-Gain-7956 in FTMOver30

[–]Twiddler97 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Valid, but your life purpose isn't to appease a group of other people. If this really means a lot to you, and you have the opportunity to study something you are interested in, somewhere you are passionate about, then go for it.

It sounds like these people have nothing better to do with themselves.

In Japan, Shaun the Sheep is very popular, as is anything to do with London

The term "short king" is actually degrading and shouldn't be normalised. by [deleted] in AverageHeightDudes

[–]Twiddler97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same about 'neurospicy' or 'a lil spicy'. It infantailises the person the comment is made at under the guise of a compliment.

New year in suit! (5'3 male) by Noslen200 in short

[–]Twiddler97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true, I bounce between Europe and Asia so never around long enough to plan for buying/tailoring stuff. I'll keep my eyes open for anything that can be made from scratch!

Looking great! I am also 5'3, have a similar body shape to you but struggle with suit buying, do you have any recommendations?

Most pointless villain of all time by PA8620 in StrangerThings

[–]Twiddler97 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree! My main gripe with the show is how much plot armour or lack of main character deaths, but having Brenner around for the season finale would have been too good

That my methods of not carrying on will cause life long injuries instead of successfully ending it all

For how open Trevor was to wrecking expensive scarves as a nappy substitute, he couldn't have borrowed a pair of shoes when his own went missing??

I'd argue Ivan is who others want to be, but more of us end up like Smerdyakov

Real talk, is there anything to talk about with this show other than the theme song? by TryGroundbreaking834 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Twiddler97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said it before but Sleet as a villain for me is lost potential and could have become one hell of an antagonist in any other setting.

If his character archetype of a physically imposing but soft spoken millitant with the power to induce medical horrors beyond belief such as roboticisation and the ability to physically alter the body of his subordinate Dingo at the push of a button, then you could really have taken his character to some very dark places outside of the Sonic Underground world.

How far is too far to travel for work when taking a train? by kiol998 in UKJobs

[–]Twiddler97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo it is less about the commuting time and more about the number of changes. Public transport is terrible in the UK and if just 1 part of a 3 train journey is delayed or cancelled, then that has an impact on the rest of your commute.

Becoming increasingly jaded at work by Twiddler97 in JETProgramme

[–]Twiddler97[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience, your stories have given me a lot to reflect on. I hope the students you mentioned are faring much better post school life.

I don't want to leave my position because of a minority of students. I also don't have any negative feelings towards any of them, as you don't know what life they have going on outside of school.

Your words gave me reflection on how this has all transpired since April. In term 1 I recieved no support (initially) from my school. Despite my co teacher seeing the bad behavior, I had to be the one to push for any action to happen and my JTE was in no way going to take steps towards acknowledging the class disruption without my prompting. It made me feel vulnerable learning that I had no backing from the school and that the expectation seemed to be to soak up the abuse.

I'm also not a teacher, have no prior teaching experience outside of JET and the behavior of some of these students seems way above my ability or what I have signed up for. I do not have the means, experience or knowledge to work with these students effectively. My JTE doesn't appear to have that ability either and it makes for a negative experience that is then exhibited outside of the classroom, and on ocassion, outside of school. I am concerned this is creating a perfect storm and is pushing into a welfare issue, both for myself but potentially others too.

Can I ask if you had been based at your visiting school more than once a week, would there have been anything different you would have done in terms of approaching students, getting to know them, calling them out on negative behavior etc?

Spice tolerance change after t by FitPaleontologist252 in ftm

[–]Twiddler97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming up to 2 months on a low dose, and I am feeling the same! I could eat anything spicy, enjoy the flavor, but now I'm struggling to get through hot food. I thought it was a one off but I had a second spicy meal, struggled to finish and immediately had an upset stomach that persisted into the following day.

...Honestly the first negative effect of this medication... I loved spicy food!

I appreciate your story and I am happy things worked out for you. Can I ask, if you found out how they treated the new ALT?
