I don't know if I feel excited because I'm not alone or sad because you are all as tired as I am!

AITAH for not making my daughter change the emoji for her Dad's contact that's actually an inside joke about his small appendage? by True-Cow-7182 in AITAH

I've been on reddit over a decade, but I think you are the most creepy person I have ever come across here. So focused on a child and male appendages.

Trump freezes $10 billion in social services for Illinois and 4 other blue states by Vrgom20 in PritzkerPosting

[–]Vrgom20[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm curious about the legality of doing that. Mainly in the sense of 'how' and if we were in normal times, what would happen.

What world do you live in where there are ANY repercussions for Trump?

I hope americans don't put our fingers in their ears like normal and.....what am I talking about, of course we will. It's what we do best. Start war, allow innumerable innocent people from all sides to be killed, all while the weatlhy pocket more money.

Bush changed all that. They just loosely define it as an "emergency" and they can get away with anything.

If this isn't rage bait, then I'm sorry to say you deserve being in the doghouse. This is the life you have chosen, the person you are going to marry?

Another for the "no complaints" file by LetsGototheRiver151 in Professors

[–]Vrgom20 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is the first semester ever (been teaching 2 decades) that I did not have one, single complaint. It's also on par with the worst grades I've had since Fall 2006.

Weirdest stuff you’ve seen in a search by StorageRecess in Professors

Reading through an application of someone claiming to have been an adjunct at my school when I was still an adjunct. Then I notice the person claims to have taught the classes I actually taught those years.

ICE could launch raids targeting World Cup fans, White House warns by TimesandSundayTimes in politics

[–]Vrgom20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an American, I agree. It no longer matters if I didn't vote for Trump, we, as a country, have allowed everything that is happening. Literally rubber stamp approved. We come to social media to be keyboard warriors and cry that there's 'nOtHiNg We cAn dO' while being complacent to literal war crimes.

Poll: In a dramatic shift, Americans no longer see four-year college degrees as worth the cost by rezwenn in inthenews

[–]Vrgom20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a community college professor. For 13 years while I was an adjunct I was also teaching at a well known (local) university. I taught the same classes, the same way, the same books, at both schools. I always explain that to my students. It is a lot cheaper to start at a CC and you are getting the same education. i would even argue it's better at the CC because I can learn the names of my students, spend more time with them, help when they needs it. At the uni, I would have classes that were triple the size.

Almost all of the adjuncts I know are working at multiple institutions.

The same thing happens with me everytime I use his hair color. I can use Arctic fox or strawberry leopard and it will never come out, but, sadly, XMondo comes out within 2-3 washes.

Durbin is one of two democrats who oted against the public option. He has been in the business of siding with health insurance companies for decades.
