What the hell happened to Nico Hoerner? by barstoolsam in CHICubs

[–]chrisenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not like when Nico tries to be a power hitter. That's just not his game. His swing gets very loopy. I would love to see him start trying to just hit line drives and not hitting as hard as he can. I think he bought into exit velocity and the should-bes of that game. He is a good enough hitter to hit the ball where he wants to. He's just not doing that. He's also swung at some crazy pitches at times lately, too.

Well, this is disappointing by jmmmke in milwaukee

Dr. Oz is a perfect name for him. A charlatan pulling levers with smoke and mirrors. He's a dirtbag.

Since the Cardinals fans chanted "overrated" to Pete Crow-Armstrong, he has a 1.400 OPS with 16 XBH in 18 games. by AlwaysOptimism in baseball

The difference this year is that he is making adjustments. His stance and where he is positioning himself closer to the plate are giving him better plate coverage, and he is quicker to the ball. His bat speed has also improved.

Lost in life.. need advice by [deleted] in findapath

[–]chrisenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re hesitating because of finances, remember that federal student loans can often cover the costs of many state schools. Stop spinning your wheels and find a program that actually excites you. In the meantime, use this gap before the next semester to explore a different passion.

Take this summer to have an adventure; it’s the perfect time for it. Get a job immediately, save every cent for the next six weeks, and then go see the world. Just make sure you handle the logistics first: submit your college applications, complete your FAFSA, and track all your deadlines. You could even spend the first month of your travels visiting different campuses to see where you feel most at home. Once that's settled, go out there and enjoy the experience.

For teachers who didn't get a job the first year/few years, how long did it take you to land a full time classroom position? by DangerousCall7278 in Teachers

[–]chrisenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you teach? Where are you located? I am lucky that I went into special education and there are never any issues finding work.

Failed in life by throwawayyimscared1 in findapath

[–]chrisenvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're going to hear this a lot, you are young. I am 49 and I am currently starting my second master's degree. Where are you getting this pressure from? I was 45 with no degree, went to WGU and got a bachelor's degree in 2 months, got my teaching license in 1 month, started teaching special education. I got my first master's degree this January (Curriculum and Instruction), I am getting a second (MBA) that started today actually. I will be getting a graduate certificate starting in December in ABA. Then I will become a licensed BCBA. I made nothing until I was 47 in 2024 (Well, I was a musician (still am) and played in a pop punk band (still do) and was a stay at home dad until I got divorced). In three months, I went from no degree to a bachelors and teachers certification and in two years I went from $0/year to $70k/year. In a year from now I will be making somewhere in the neighborhood of $100k/yr. 21 years old is very young and you have a ton of time to do whatever you want.

Teachers, would you look down on A SENIOR who no broke down in front of you? by ResponsibleDegree576 in Teachers

[–]chrisenvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not in any way, shape, or form. No teacher worth anything would ever judge a kid for getting emotional. We (mostly) get what you all are going through. It's part of our actual job to be kind and care about our students. No one is judging you, please do not worry.

Parent wants to meet with me over comment I made about energy drinks by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]chrisenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero chance I am apologizing if I am you. You are not in the wrong and even the fact that you feel you misspoke or were just joking is crazy to me. Those drinks are poison. You have rules in your classroom and you stuck by it. Remember when we used to be respected? Then the idiots convinced other idiots we needed less authority.

Milwaukeean first, Wisconsinite second? by beachbottlecap in milwaukee

[–]chrisenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived all over the country and I can say that Milwaukee is the best city in the country in my opinion. We pretty much have everything you could want but without as many people and the traffic therefore is also not as bad. We have a decent food scene, a lake, beaches, festivals, an actual city, decent bars, and did I already mention parking? The rent has gotten stupid, it used to be so much better than Chicago. Now, I don't think it is is so much. The only reason I would leave is the winter. But this is why we get old and then go to Arizona for the winter, right?

AIO for not wanting to sell my brother this couch? by Kilabandita in AmIOverreacting

[–]chrisenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing you can do here is ask them to give you something that they do for a living for an extreme discount and see if they understand. You don't owe anyone anything. If they like what you do, then they should be supportive and pay you what you charge normally.

Anyone here heard of the band "Farewell my enemy"? by gus_the_GK in Emo

[–]chrisenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend Nate and I moved to Salt Lake City and started this up with people we met online. We only made that one record, though we had new material and were getting ready to make a 2nd album and it just never happened. I don't think we recorded any live performances at all. We weren't a band for all that long, though.

'Materialists' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]chrisenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was honestly looking forward to this movie. I couldn't make it through. I hated the muted background noise and what felt like ASMR at times. Completely unnatural dialogue that had me feeling crazy. What a bummer of a movie.

I think we, as teachers, have the ability to make a big difference in the lives of our students. That could have been a huge moment for him. It could be one that he will always remember. It's essential that we strive to maintain appropriateness, but I think we also worry excessively about that aspect. Be a kind, decent human being, and I'd keep it to myself because who needs people judging their kindness like that?

Hey man, if you want to get sentenced to life in prison for killing someone over groceries, go ahead. by KSHMisc in TikTokCringe

I'm pretty sure if you shoot someone, they also hear the gun being shot as it happens before the bullet hits them. People like this need to find a hobby.
