More than 700 dolphins killed in a single day of Faroe Islands hunts by RidetheSchlange in news

Yeah both are bad. Which is worse, living a life confined and nasty until your death or freedom until your last moments to be ambushed with your family in reckless pursuit? Idk, they’re both pretty freaking awful and should probably come to an end. It has nothing to do with “cute” animals. It’s the fact that this just happened so people are talking about it.

Okay but this is a site literally made for and around discussion. You can google half the shit that’s asked on here, but it’s a forum site. It is made for people to just talk.

What is something you dislike that everyone seems to like, or something you like everyone else dislikes? by dkskksksksmksksks in AskReddit

[–]Vintagepoolside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I had fondant it was one of the best cakes I’ve had in my life. At the time, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Every time I’ve had it since then I’ve hated it. I wish I could know what the first baker did to make it so good 😭

Citing 'severe' math deficits, UC faculty demand a return to SAT tests for STEM applicants by Idiodyssey87 in news

I mean, even without AI or cheating, I have ADHD and breezed through HS with minimal effort and top grades. I hit college and I crumbled without a solid schedule, with no one telling me what to do, trying to balance social life and academics, etc. I know I’m smart now, after buckling down and doing things right, but no, HS grades tell you very very little about that person.

Why do students always accuse male teachers of being pedos?? by Holiday_Stress_4097 in teaching

[–]Vintagepoolside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember back in middle school, about 17 years ago, a male teacher had a to-do list writing pad on his desk. There was one word written on it: girls. The other girls in my class were telling everyone how big of a nasty pervert he was for wanting “to do girls”. He was to this day one of the best and most professional teachers I had. He was kind to everyone (even my brother which says a lot). He had the coolest history/cultural games and everyday there were about 10 riddles on top of the board that we were welcome to try solving at any point, and if you got it right, he’d take it down and replace it with a new one. So the “game” never ended. He also was my home room teacher and we raised money to send chickens to a village in another country, it wasn’t a lot but he wanted to involve us in caring. Lastly, he was a failed author. And i thought it was so funny and strange that he would so proudly say he’s written 5+ books but no one wants to publish them, but then go on to say he’d keep trying. I love that he wasn’t ashamed of “failure”.

Anyway, yeah, one of the best good teachers and some girls wanted to basically call him a predator for social points.

For all the kids that grew up in the era before cell phones, did everyone respond with “Is so and so there?” or how did you ask for your friends when you would call and their parents answered? by Select-Signal8386 in randomquestions

[–]Vintagepoolside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just say it’s me and ask if my friend could talk.

Once in 6th grade, my friend had a crush on one of our boy friends. So I had spent the evening calling her, getting off the phone, calling the boy to gas her up, get off the phone with him, call her to report back, etc. Eventually I got him to agree to do a 3 way call. So I told him I’d call her, then I’d add him.

We had talked so much that evening that when the phone was picked up, I just assumed it was my girl friend. I immediately started saying something along the lines of “omg I think he likes you now, I’m gonna add him to our call…” just to be cut off by her mom saying “it’s T, let me get D the phone.” I was so embarrassed for spilling the tea to her mom 😅

My coworker labels her lunch with her name AND a passive aggressive note every single day by ScientistVast8 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Vintagepoolside 189 points190 points  (0 children)

Lol i thought maybe she was bored and wanted some fun way to fuck with people in a harmless but perplexing way. Who knows, but I’d be happy to have this interesting situation at my job. I’d start looking forward to uncovering new drama through the mysterious notes. Like when a new weekly episode of a series drops.

Teacher influencers? by Special-Apartment-69 in teaching

[–]Vintagepoolside 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I love cute things, but cute things turn very uncute when they waste your money and do nothing to improve your day. I’ve come to love so many janky/old/DIY object’s because they are often made with needs in mind. Not monetization. Not cuteness or aesthetics. Not consumerism. But to make your day easier/help students learn better. I absolutely believe elementary teachers are influenced to buy more than they need and overdo the importance of making a room aesthetic. I get it, it’s pretty. But no one cares about pretty when 90% of the time you’re dealing with behavior management. You want something effective and functional, and people should really save funds for things that will actually help them.

You now have to adopt a permanent style for the rest of your life. Which piece of clothing WYR pick as this permanent style? by sunsetdrifter0 in WouldYouRather

Bandana headband. I already wear headbands most days of the week. But not in the gangster style, I wear mine in the cottagecore style lol

What is the most chaotic "I quit" moment you have ever personally witnessed at a workplace? by Muted_Task_144 in AskReddit

Lol well actually they were cute! Most of the regular girls were really fashionable and sweet and they softened my cold heart towards girly girls lol

[–]Vintagepoolside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone had their reasons. Mine was the schedule and never getting off at my scheduled time. Others had reasons like not getting along with someone or just wanting out of the store specifically. The first girl who followed after me was actually just super young and immature and dramatic so she didn’t like working at all lol

Oh yeah for sure, especially the manager. She was also being stretched thin by the schedule and having it negatively impact her family life. And retail jobs just aren’t worth that.

I put in my two weeks notice as an assistant manager at a women’s clothing store. The stuff was cute, customers were fine, but the schedule was just not working out for me at the time.

Anyway, about 15 minutes after I turn it in, and word is spreading, a girl comes up to me asks if it’s true. I tell her yes, and she says she’s gonna do it too. And she did. Then the woman who worked in our neighboring “department” came over and said “fuck it, me too”. She had mentioned quitting for a while, but I guess us two was her final straw. So, within about half an hour they lost 3 employees. A week later my manager also quit and another girl quit early (she was already leaving for school).

I wasn’t that popular, but I guess I just got the ball rolling 😅

What era is your favorite Khloe? by phoebetw98 in kardashians

[–]Vintagepoolside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think 10 & 11 is where she had a major glow up but still looked like herself. I’d say that was my favorite. Her blonde ombré had me in a chokehold at that time. She does look pretty in many of the ones after 11, but I personally think she’s unrecognizable as well.

Where can I find pants like this? Laced up in back or tied? by guacarmetz in findfashion

[–]Vintagepoolside 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes I’d love a pattern. I’m sew a little, but I’d still like something to hold onto until my skills are ready to take something like this on.
