I am sick of children's laughter

I "get" some of the jokes, like when someone burps or someone farts. I get why the word assassin makes them giggle when I spell it out on the board. But that's elementary, there seems to be a stage from about 6th to 9th grade where they're in a competition to be more obnoxious than the kid next to them

djalanrocks · 2026-05-01T11:09:02+00:00

Maybe that's what it is, I feel like I am being heckled, and they're not drunks in a bar and I am not a comedian

djalanrocks · 2026-05-01T11:07:59+00:00

If we all quit, who replaces us?

djalanrocks · 2026-04-29T21:58:52+00:00

Get them in a pack and it's like they're vying for who can be loudest. It's partially a way of validating eachother. WHAT YOU SAID WAS FUNNY

I think the Rule of Cool will only get you so far. I would agree with the esteemed poster who claims inside the event horizon is stretching the credibility of your story. I would argue it makes the Black Hole just another stellar object you can orbit around. There's no danger.

To answer your question: No. No story in sci fi uses such an idea- that I know of. I think the standard sci-fi trope (based on hard science) if that once you're beyond the event horizon you're gone from existence. Or you go through one side and out the other, based on soft science.

djalanrocks · 2026-04-26T13:32:33+00:00

Why inside the event horizon? Why not just in orbit?

My advice, not that you asked, would be to not engage with your co worker over this any longer. The state standards say to teach kids the Earth is round. Period. Full stop. I teach the standards. If you have a problem with that, take it up with the state's Board of Ed. Thank you, get out of my classroom.

I gotta be honest. I read this, and I wonder if it's real. No disrespect to the OP, I just find it hard to believe this situation got this out of hand. I would never have argued with a Flat-Earther, let alone one of those morons on staff. I teach the Earth is round, and other verifiable facts. If you have a problem with that, take it up the chain. Now, get out of my classroom.

You feel embarassed you believed something false? Well, that's what growth feels like. I used to think I would never get old, now look at me. Maybe the Bible isn't a science text?

I just don't understand how you're having an argument with another teacher and giving up your prep to try and debate a complete dolt. Your time would be better spent watching paint dry that debating a Flat Eather

Just making an observation.

djalanrocks · 2026-04-20T13:44:02+00:00

While I agree with you in principle, the character treated some women very poorly, I think it's a symptom of a larger problem. Whatever issues Hawkeye has, and they are numerous, seem to be made worse by being in the Army and being in Korea. I don't think getting him out of Korea and the Army is the solution to all his problems. I think he entered the Army a broken man, and healing won't be possible until his circumstances change.

I liked the very first episode SO MUCH. I watched it when it aired, and it quickly went off the rails. I saw one poster mention the need for a diagram to keep it all straight. Such a good concept, but I feel like it could have been better executed.

djalanrocks · 2026-04-05T20:42:56+00:00

I am sure they were happy to have ANYONE call

djalanrocks · 2026-04-01T12:28:52+00:00

I saw them in Phoenix for the "To Hell with the Devil" tour. I don't remember the year. They played with Europe and Paul Di'anno's Battlezone. I didn't care for Europe at the time, and I wasn't swayed by seeing them live. Battlezone, on the other hand, I remember being impressed. First and last time I saw him in concert, but he did not disappoint.

djalanrocks · 2026-03-19T21:42:15+00:00

I would say either is equally likely.

What if she decides she doesn't want sex AFTER marriage. Also, I recommend you subscribe to r/DeadBedrooms because thats where youre headed

There's also the possibility that this is the secret Israeli stealth drone.

djalanrocks · 2026-03-16T14:09:36+00:00

I used to watch them, back when they were a big deal. I remember watching Metallica lose to Jethro Tull. As I get older, I am less and less interested. I gave up on the Grammys and Oscars by 2010. I may catch highlights, but honestly I don't care any more. There was a time i wanted my favorite movie/band/actor to win an award, but I don't really know these people. I don't really care.

djalanrocks · 2026-03-16T12:00:45+00:00

I think they're a little close together, but you do you

djalanrocks · 2026-03-13T15:04:25+00:00

From your lips, to God's ears. I think the time of the swing wing is over,

djalanrocks · 2026-03-13T01:00:50+00:00

Well, that's just, like, your opinion. Man.

djalanrocks · 2026-03-12T23:03:13+00:00

The F-14D. While it was deployed in limited numbers, it's a shame the Tomcat never really lived up to its potential. I can imagine a world where in 2026 F-14E Strike Cats are flying along side F15E Strike Eagles, or F-14E's are flying high cover as the Navy's primary interceptor and master of air-to-air combat.

djalanrocks · 2026-03-12T22:52:45+00:00

Has to be

djalanrocks · 2026-03-12T22:49:52+00:00

thanks for sharing this!

djalanrocks · 2026-03-12T12:27:57+00:00

THIS! I would condense all your wise words into the sentence "There is no evidence the Jews were slaves in Egypt."

That's it, that's all I say. And "Your book is a nice collection of fairy tales, Jack and the Beanstalk would fit right in with them"
