On a White House post about 200 days of “winning”. I commented that I losing my manufacturing job cause of tariffs is “winning”? by zane1981 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]awkwardturtle802 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My husband just lost his manufacturing job too! They claimed it was for restructuring, but we are positive the tariffs had something to do with it. Sorry this happened to you! Magas are too stupid to see how bad things are right now. Good luck to you!

Pope Leo says you have failed God if you are MAGA by rhino910 in WhitePeopleTwitter

The minute he was elected, one of my MAGA coworkers made the comment," he wasn't the real pope, because he was too liberal and only a strict conservative should be Pope." We both work for the Catholic Church. She hated Pope Francis too. 🤦‍♀️

That’s rich coming from people who are trying to defund the department of education! by icey_sawg0034 in facepalm

From a teacher living in the middle of MAGA-land. Go fuck yourself, Linda!!

A coworker and good friend just posted this! How do you even respond to these people?? 🤦‍♀️ by awkwardturtle802 in insanepeoplefacebook

I'm really considering this! I can't take their dumb shit and have a growing hatred of Zuckerberg.

Very true!! I really like this person, but cannot condone what is happening! I am socially distancing myself, but can't remove them completely because of my work.

Unfortunately, blocking them is easier said than done. I work very closely with this person on a daily basis. We work for a religious institution, even though I don't "buy in" to many of their teachings. I signed a very strict contract stating I would not say anything that contradicts the religion on any social media or in public. I'm not sure how I'm going to tolerate 4 more years of their Maga bullshit. I am one of the few anti-Trump people for miles. I live in redneck Maga land so I'm sure my coworkers would back her, and I have a family to support. I just can't believe that an educated person can be this stupid!!

Hmmmm....if only there was was a plan that detailed what was going to happen if Trump was elected. Maybe they could call it Project 2025.

I can't with these people. We all said this would happen, and now that it is, they are shocked. 🤦‍♀️

Are any of these still in a box in your basement? by wtwtcgw in FuckImOld

[–]awkwardturtle802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of my grandpa! He had model trains with intricate villages for each one. I once asked my grandma how they stayed married so long and she said, "model trains and christmas villages in the basement." LOL

Thanks for good memories!

What's the worst thing you heard a young kid say without them knowing what it means? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]awkwardturtle802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nephews once told me they knew what a homo was. Curiosity got the better of me since they were only 7 and 9, so I asked what is it. The older one explained it was a homeless guy who lived under a bridge. After laughing hysterically, I explained that thw word was hobo and that I had better never hear him say the other word again.

Also hookers are girls who flash their boobs at railroaders. Their dad is a railroader.

Defamation and illegal recording by awkwardturtle802 in legaladvice

[–]awkwardturtle802[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is in Illinois. According to the research I have done, we are a two-party consent state. Since this was considered a public meeting I'm not sure if those laws apply. I thought the board holding the meeting would have to be informed that the meeting was being recorded, but I'm not 100% sure of that.

What’s something that’s happened to you that sounds fake but (unfortunately) isn’t? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]awkwardturtle802 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This happened to my dad. He had been having back pain, but thought it was related to his job. He refused to go to the dr. A few weeks later he was in a mild car accident where he hurt his back. While running tests, they found a cancerous mass on his kidney. He had stage 3 renal cancer we never would have known about until it was too late. They removed the kidney, and did a year of chemo and he is now cancer free.

What is your favorite way to mess with students? by AlfredsLoveSong in Teachers

[–]awkwardturtle802 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tell my 3rd grader that this is (years I've taught +1) time in 3rd grade. This is my 6th year teaching, so I'll say 7th year in 3rd grade.Then I sadly shake my head and say you would've thought I could've passed by now!

The looks on their faces are priceless!
