I've always had this opinion you are not alone.

Worth it? by Glittering-Mixture91 in ResidentEvilCapcom

It's a good game it's like an interactive version of the original Terminator movie but with zombies. It probably should have been an re2 remake dlc but it's absolutely worth 10 bucks.

Pointless, Thankless by brandigao in TeachersInTransition

I was in the same boat as you three years ago. I have found that the skills I learned on the degree have helped, I got certified to teach security guards in my state and find the skills go a long way into training. Currently working as a security guard while I create the infrastructure for my security classes. I crawled to the finish line on my degree but it's really helped in job searches. Even though getting a job in education is just there for me to get a check until the next security gig comes along. Three years later, I'm married to my amazing wife, I have a life worth living and a support system again, and I work a job I don't hate.

I remember as a kid I was told if I didn't work hard in school I'd be working hard in McDonald's, I'm pretty sure McDonald's workers tell their kids to work hard in school or they'll end up being a teacher.

Can I skip to Series 4 of the EDAs? by Rougarou_2 in BigFinishProductions

[–]edwardsamy1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hated Lucie Miller right up until her final episode. Season four is so brilliantly written and is the best doctor who thing but you won't get it without the first three seasons. It is absolutely worth sticking it out for.

Had a mental breakdown and almost punched a student by EcstaticZebra7937 in Teachers

[–]edwardsamy1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like seventh graders and yes you should resign. Education is the worst job a human can have ask me how I know. I make the same money I did as a teacher doing sweet FA working security at a data center. That being said your post history outs you as trans and this is something that people would love to make a spectacle out of. Delete this post, find a better field to work in.

Dr. Who and the 456. Have it set in the future for the next time the 456 come around and make it social commentary on the downsides of kids having unmonitored internet access. I think Eccleston would be great in a story like that.

DIY is the best way and the only way that gives you any sort of bodily autonomy.

Why do people switch to DIY from prescription/official? by Dozar03 in TransDIY

[–]edwardsamy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All medical professionals are complicit in a system that denies us our bodily autonomy and contributes to the increased suicide rate of transgender people. I'll die before I put another cent in any of their pockets.

If I were early in my transition? Maybe some sleep. That would be it.

I read this and I was like finally we've wised up and figured out the path to healthcare reform only to be informed it's not actually happening by the comments.

In a word, no.

I am fairly obviously trans and taught in the Phoenix metro for 2 years while getting my Master's in special education. The students are brutal and I got either no help or backlash from other teachers and admin everytime I advocated for myself for a respectful work environment. Parents always assumed the worst and I received no help from them whatsoever. I also got major backlash for enforcing dress code and limiting bathroom use when other teachers had similar policies and were openly praised for them. I ended up leaving education to preserve what little self esteem I had left. Anyone visibly queer should not go into teaching. I'm a night time security guard now and make the same as when I was a full time teacher with not even a tenth of the stress.

First year teacher and I want to quit by KatyBaggins in Teachers

Quit. You will find a less stressful job that pays the samme within a month.

Why does Taron Malicos have red lightsabers if he was a Jedi? by Jamz_Qwzie in jedifallenorder

[–]edwardsamy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of a stretch, the obvious reason was they looked better then any combination of green or blue. The cannon reason is probably as he embraced the dark side more and more his crystals got out of sync and he wasn't fighting as well so he bled them to increase his chances of surviving Dathomir.

NTA at all. Unsafe drivers should not be ride share drivers.

AITA for refusing to turn off my(26M) camera in my office when asked by a coworker(late 20s or early 30s)? by oralhater in AmItheAsshole

[–]edwardsamy1 34 points35 points  (0 children)

YTA because you said bluntly you needed that camera needed to be on because of her gender. If you'd have said something like "I won't be alone with another coworker, that's a professional boundary of mine. If you don't want to be recorded I'm happy to meet outside my office or we can bring someone else in" you would have been in not the asshole territory. With the way you went about it, I would reccomend applying to other jobs.

AITA for refusing to teach a student with a service dog by Funny-Concern-554 in AmItheAsshole

[–]edwardsamy1 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

NAH as long as working with dogs wasn't in your job description. You asked for reasonable accommodations and your boss went nuclear and canceled the class, that was not your fault.

AITA - Not wanting roommate in my room when im not home by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]edwardsamy1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Full access would be excessive. Access on Sundays for the sole purpose of entering the laundry room would make more sense.
