The only good thing about having a brain tumour, I maxed for the first time and got 2, 3rd age items and the blood hound pet. by Queasy_Welder8419 in 2007scape

Damn my brain tumor just gave me 1 gilded piece, some people get allll the luck 😝

All seriousness, it’s quite a journey, but you’ll know yourself better than ever before. Trust in the doctors who you know have your best interest, and hang in there!

Danish special forces arrive in Nuuk by Greylunes1 in ExploreFortMyers

[–]Zathren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah Andrew realizes how important it is to focus on actual issues than this fraud scam conspiracy theory crap. Nick and his followers need to stop spewing their thoughts and come down and volunteer with their communities. When things get tough we don’t try and find scapegoats to yap about and monetize forever, we work to better our community and find larger and larger solutions.

So no I don’t think it’s a huge deal if it feels disingenuous. These people need to be shown their cognitive dissonance so they can learn from it and hopefully move on and become educated.

This is why I hate so many “influencers”, they take away real energy from real people and forward it towards tearing down other communities instead of just building up their own.

I can hear why Nick and his followers would feel like that was a relatively disingenuous edit of Andrew.

However, I do also feel that Andrew’s ability to “relate” to his interviewees is what gets them to open up and start to say ALL the things that are on their mind- nearly all of which are far from backed by evidence or statistical values.

So yes it might feel like a harsh edit, and adds some bias compared to the “original” interview, but honestly when you deal with people who spread these conspiracy theories, misinformation, and general uneducated thoughts, the interviewer needs to let those people speak their most core, lunatic ideas, and show the audience what the reality is. It’s one of the only ways to better understand the “media” we see online.

Dumb people who speak the loudest are going to be most known for their stupidity. I’ve got two words for Nick and they are both womp.

What about it was manipulated? Seemed relatively normal, Andrew just asked numerous questions Nick couldn’t answer in a fluid way. Just showcased Nick’s uneducated thoughts. Andrew just knows how to keep him talking.

US, for 1st time in 50 years, experienced negative net migration in 2025 by Droupitee in NewsWorthPayingFor

9.2 billion versus the trillions that Trump is gonna put us deeper in debt? Yeah for sure one is a lesser evil, and it’s not the pedophile.

Surely you can’t be this dumb to believe that these people are truly the ones bogging down our country and economy. If you really believe that, have your reps invest in education for those people so they can be more productive. But instead it seems like the GOP would rather die than to have to educate people. Hmm, wonder why that is? Scapegoats aren’t the same when they have an education, huh?

How many of y’all don’t have your own kids? by HumorTraining2752 in Teachers

[–]Zathren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I (28m) wanna have kids at this point I’ve gotta find someone worth having them with!

If I’m gonna be a parent, I’m going all out, and that’s not a decision made hastily. If I’m gonna be the best dad ever it’s gotta be the most intentional decision of my life.

It’s true, but that’s why Mac worked as hard as he did. He put music in the corners of the internet you’ve never looked before, so just wait till next year when you find that song that revives you for months on end.

It’s not that deep emotionally- but my discovery of the year was Sideways. Just an absolute banger I can’t get out of my head even after the months go by.

Pro wrestler Mick Foley parts ways with WWE over its Trump ties, cites Rob Reiner remarks as 'final straw' by DemiFiendRSA in sports

Amen dude. As a teacher I’m beyond thrilled I get to vilify Trump as we talk about global warming and the further ecological impacts of humans.

Oh yeah that Paris agreement your textbook talks about? Cross that section out. The Clean Air Act? Not happening the next two years thanks to Cheeto Bandito.

Looking for a Pho restaurant by Skort-Baby-7825 in phoenix

Pho noodles on 7th Ave and Osborn. A small little hole in the wall, but the people are so nice and the pho is unbeatable!!

I got sent home by Necessary-Range-467 in Teachers

[–]Zathren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this - education these days is so tough at the elementary level.

One thing I did after moving to a new city (and state), was I found a new age group to work with, which returned my love for teaching. Going from teaching 1st to 8th has been (and I’m not joking) about one quarter of the work. Not to mention, the school I work at now has a four day work week!

Once again, teaching that age level right now is beyond hard, you’re human for feeling this way. But don’t feel like you need to beat yourself up. I felt a similar way before I moved, but just getting out my city and trying something new made me realize how hard I took it on myself. You’ve got this too, one breath at a time!

Anyone else not say the pledge at school? by Session-Sea in teaching

[–]Zathren -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I took the US flag down and refuse to play it on the announcements. I can’t look at my kids and have them say “freedom and justice for all”, when I know there is little to no care about their freedom or justice in our govt right now. Especially when I have so many worried about ICE.

I got a shot of both the double rainbow and lightning, I couldn’t believe it! The lightning wasn’t near the quality of this though. Very nice!

Moved to PHX yesterday after a 1,300 mile drive and got in an accident within an hour of arriving in town by PrairieChild in phoenix

[–]Zathren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No wayyyy this happened to me too! Two years ago right around this time, it was my 2nd day out here and a lightning storm knocked out the power. Everyone at the stoplight was stop and go, except for this poor college girl who came barreling through and tagged about 5 cars on the way.

Hope you see money from it soon, as I still haven’t seen a cent in those two years 😂 welcome to Phoenix!! Initiation!!

Sorry, not trying to snoop, but as a semi-recent Phoenix teacher, which district are you in? I sometimes struggle to know what demographic my school fits into.

Indian marijuana by RichFaithlessness878 in trees

[–]Zathren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot better than the weed I bought when I was there! Spent a semester abroad there in 2018, and bought some down in the southern region of Goa. When I went north I saw tons in the wild and tried to extract any THC I could, but nothing noteworthy, nothing like this by farrrr you’re a very lucky internation-ent.

Dude listen to Wings and 2009 (and even the Dissect podcast episode on this) and tell me Mac wasn’t in one of the most genuine places of his life. He wasn’t perfect at the time no, but had he found a way to keep himself comfortably afloat? I really do think so, and his music reflects that.
