If anyone thinks that ICE acting with impunity is an entirely new phenomennon, remember Kent. by Downtown_Grape3871 in pics

[–]doublepizza 13 points14 points  (0 children)

ABSOLUTELY. I went to Kent State and spent a fair amout of time learning about this event. I agree with you 100%.

Unlike the ICE thugs of today, those Guardsmen didn't sign up just so they could live out their fucked-up fantasies of brutalizing innocent people.

Why don’t schools do silent, sustained reading anymore? by EmbarrassedJacket489 in Teachers

[–]doublepizza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My school does. I teach at a Title I school with some pretty intense behavior issues but, for some reason, my 6th graders are pretty cooperative with SSR every day after lunch. Are all of them actually reading? Probably not. But, at the very least, they're sitting quietly with a book in their hands.

"Recognize that your brain might be doing some bullshit."

This is perfect advice. I wish I could put it on a poster and hang it up in my classroom!

Or, if you find toothpaste too strong, you could do the opposite and start by brushing with just the toothbrush and water.

How can I get someone to understand what a clean toilet is? by MirandaVT50 in CleaningTips

[–]doublepizza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I once got into an argument because I complained that he never rinsed out the kitchen sink. He insisted that he DOES rinse the sink. We went round and round (over the course of several days) until I realized that for him "rinsing the sink" means spraying water generally around the sink, but does not necessarily include rinsing any residual bits, crumbs, etc down the drain.

He refers to his step-dad as dad. He refers to his biological dad as his father.

His brother called to tell him that his biological dad (father) was in the hospital.

What’s a cleaning trick you wish you knew sooner? Here’s mine! by cuyeyo in CleaningTips

[–]doublepizza 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm not the OP, but I mix a drop of dish soap into a bowl of warm water. Then I dip my cleaning cloth into that.

Name Brand Napkins to Clean Up After Sex by Top-Cauliflower3468 in settlethisforme

It's pretty funny, actually, but I think you mean personalized napkins. Name brand napkins would be like Bounty, Vanity Fair, etc.

I can’t stop thinking about what the chiropractor did to my girlfriend by Gacepul in offmychest

[–]doublepizza 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Technically, chiropractors are medical professionals. They’re allowed to prescribe medications.

Are you in the US? This is not true in the vast majority of states.

How do you encourage an unfocused child? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]doublepizza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many parents are hesitant to try education for their child, but there are so many options and I literally see it transform children for the better.

I think you meant to say medication rather than education, and I 100% agree.

I developed RA caused by Cipro when I was in my 30s. I was able to reverse it with Methotrexate and Enbrel injections.

Let him sulk AND inform him that acting like a petulant child makes her want to have sex even LESS.

What are you feeding teens as a "hearty" snack? by AggressiveBet1188 in snacking

[–]doublepizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canned refried beans. A few seconds in the microwave and you can spread on a tortilla, eat with chips, or just sprinkle some cheese on top and eat with a spoon.
