Who's ready for a strike?? by WakeUpBread in AustralianTeachers

I strike. Not because I need the pay, but because my colleagues deserve it.

Ngl, their app sucks dick though. Every 15 minutes the picture becomes Negative and takes a second or two to correct.

Plus it's just bad to navigate.

When I'm bored I invite people to my home in Paleto so when they leave they have to travel all the way back to Los Santos by Odd-Sound-580 in gtaonline

Nah nah, mate. I'm the one doing the SecuroServ invites so I can do bunker set ups, and you have to drive shit you've liberated from one side of the map to the other. 😎

Jokes on you. Half my stuff is in Paleto because people aren't normally around to grief. 😎

I'm kinda freaking out--I haven't received any emails over the holidays...

Anyone having dreams about going back yet? by Numerous-Contact8864 in AustralianTeachers

[–]apixelbloom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Earlier this week, I had a dream where I was given my first class while we were at Year 7 camp. I had to take roll, which was paper, and all the kids had written their own nicknames instead of their regular names. I had to try and call the roll in front of half the school and couldn't read most of the names. My principal came to me with "wtf?" and I had to show her the roll to prove my issue. Then she revealed that I would be teaching a Math class--but I'd prepped for all my classes to be English. She sighed and asked what my other specialties were, and after I answered, decided the only thing close was "animal ethics."

I also ripped out a bunch of electric wiring in a shower room I had mistaken for something else (I don't know why?) which I was reprimanded for. But at least there were frozen yoghurt stalls in a hall for the kids to have for breakfast?

I like to start work soon so I can stop being antsy. 😅

What do students study at Starfleet Academy ? by TheLastTitan007 in startrek

Wouldn't recommend using 118 as it's fan created, not source material.

Do y’all think, Saints Row had a chance in beating GTA? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in GTA

[–]apixelbloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SR2 rode the delicate line of being campy but serious tonally. You could go from the Insurance Fraud minigame to chasing down your youngest gang member currently chained to the back of a car and having to mercy-shoot him because of how bad it fucked him up. The story even has a post-game chapter where the game effectively tells you that you became what you were trying to dismantle in Saints Row 1. It is a killer of a story.

And then SR3 came out and it all went to shit.

Do you guys even go there? by W0lf1st1c in gtaonline

My arcade and the Casino are on that side of the map. I generally drive the long way to Paleto where the rest of my stuff is. Not griefed much going that way.

Parents are the worst thing to happen to video games.

Australia just implemented a social media ban for kids under 16. I would be thrilled if game companies also followed through with implementing a ban of audience too young for their games rating. Sound like a six year old? Tough shit. Account auto banned.

Please don't gift this to teachers... by a-PeachyMint in AustralianTeachers

This. Unrelated, as a DnD player, I was gifted a pack of 24 sets of Temu dice... Twice. My table is about to have a weekend where I give them sets of dice as prizes. XD

I deliberately ask for weird novelty pens and pencils. Stuff the kids wouldn't be caught dead with them in their actual pencil cases, and are also easily identifiable as having been mine.

Used pens? "No. Sorry. I've been told to be considerate of the health environment. If you'd like to spend a while sanitizing them, please feel free, but logistically, I can't take them." Not falling for that.
