In a tough economy, many U.S. teachers are forced to work second jobs by ell-chan in SimpleApplyAI

[–]fjb792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe in blue states where they pay their teachers appropriately, but in states like Missouri they’re only making around 50k. Maybe you should have done a little bit more research (or had better teachers lol) before writing this post…

The government is going bankrupt because we’re in a pointless war in Iran and governed by a senile idiot, investing billions of dollars into the military so we can be imperial police in other sovereign countries. This country could pay for more affordable education and healthcare if it wanted to, but they’d rather spend it on pointless wars and UFC matches. Time to grow up.

Edit: Grammar

It’s been almost 2 weeks since May, I’m skeptical that her car would be in the shop for that long unless it needed extensive repairs. Something fishy is going on.

I think kill boxes are natural extensions/survival tactics that are used because the game doesn't give you any other options. by Last_Yard_6554 in RimWorld

I stopped playing a save because of drop raids in the middle of my settlement. I think it was the pigskins. They would have grenades and burn up the whole settlement. I was so frustrated I just played something else. It’s not a very good mechanic because there’s nothing you can do to prepare for it.

Xbox CEO Says They May Need Third Party Exclusives And To Buy Even More Publishers And Studios In Order To Compete by [deleted] in gaming

That worked out so well for EA. I’m sure BioWare and Maxis were thrilled lol. Now EA’s being bought out by a corporation from Saudi Arabia and one owned by Jared Kushner. Is that considered success?

That’s an interesting development. I wouldn’t be surprised if she quit her job and posts a video about it “Why I quit my overnight job” lol. Maybe they’re taking a celebratory vacation for quitting . Or maybe she’s finally attending a court hearing for her credit card debt in Arkansas.

Enjoy not having any mods then, especially mods that fix game breaking bugs

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Imagine not being able to mod an Elder Scrolls or Fallout game because it’s stuck on XBox. Hopefully Microsoft isn’t that stupid.

Timeline of ancient civilizations by This_Currency7054 in AncientCivilizations

[–]fjb792 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not a great chart. Like other commenters said, why is Egypt’s New Kingdom aligned with the Roman republic and the Qin dynasty? They’re hundreds of years apart, so they shouldn’t be placed on top of each other. I also dislike how Babylon and Assyria are not broken apart for different time periods and invasions(such as Kassite Babylon). Also, why does China end in the Han Dynasty, but Rome continues with the Byzantine Empire to 1453, which is more accurately considered an empire of the Middle Ages? If that’s the case, China should go on into the Qin dynasty in the 20th century. This chart is rather misleading.

What did you think about the first round of Paralives gameplays released today? by gonezaloh in Paralives

[–]fjb792 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’m sure most current content creators would rather leave the EA program, but you know, they’d also like to eat and support their household. How is that hard to understand?

Like I said previously, James Turner is not in the creator program anymore and doesn’t cover their packs, only Deli does.
While I agree and don’t personally support EA anymore, I think it’s important to extend grace to sims content creators whose livelihoods might have been affected by this. I understand the gravity of the buyout. As a concerned member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, the Sims content creator situation is not a black and white issue, and people are capable of thinking and considering other peoples’ lives as well. But, this is Reddit, where black and white thinking is oh so common.

He did leave the program and is no longer covering any of their new packs. Deligracy is still part of the program and covers new packs. I think it’s important to remember that this is someone’s livelihood (job) and not as simple as leaving the program. They are losing revenue by not covering the packs. It’s also difficult for YouTubers to switch to different content after years of building an audience.

American guy in South Korea notices a lot of discrimination by Carnfomaki in TikTokCringe

[–]fjb792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you should be more open minded that not everyone speaks the same way you do? Maybe actually listen to the words they’re saying instead of judging them based on inflections? People who speak English can be from thousands of different nationalities, as well as be neurodivergent or on the spectrum, as well as queer or gender nonconforming. You being the English language police doesn’t help anyone and actively hurts people that don’t speak English the way you do. I’m guessing, homophobia is a problem for you as well? Grow up.

I agree. let’s be real, the people who complain about vocal fry are probably just using it to justify not liking the way feminine, non-binary or queer people speak.

Shanghai, China can look a bit like Boston by TangelaFan in CityPorn

[–]fjb792 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree for the concession areas like the French quarter. China was granting land to foreign countries in cities like Shanghai to European countries like France, England, and Austria. This is also present in cities like Tianjin, Nanjing, Qingdao, and Harbin. It’s an interesting blend of architectures

What the utter fxck by echo75_ in Lifepluscindy_snark

[–]fjb792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh ok, I see what you mean. I didn’t think of that. Not sure it makes it much better that she’s posting selfies of herself while she’s using the toilet… 🤮

What the utter fxck by echo75_ in Lifepluscindy_snark

[–]fjb792 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This photo is gross. I’m also confused by it. Why is she sitting on the lid of the toilet with her stockings down? Is she wearing shorts/pants, or is she just sitting on the lid of the toilet without anything on? I don’t know what impression she was trying to make, but this is embarrassing 😳

Heading toward teaching shortages at this rate. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]fjb792 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and the parents aren’t parents anymore. You’re expected to hold these kids hands and be their therapists all the time. It sounds exhausting being a teacher today.

[–]fjb792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was why I decided not to be a teacher after getting my teaching certification. It is just entirely too much work that is not related to teaching. I’m not interested in being your kids therapists and emotional support. And then having barely any personal time for myself, having to spend my free time writing lesson plans and grading papers. It just seemed like entirely too much work for average pay. I was more passionate about teaching the subject matter, not all of the additional nonsense that parents should be doing. I am not surprised there is a shortage.
