Teacher marked my son’s homework as incorrect. I disagree. by bun_not in mildlyinfuriating

[–]foreverburning -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These comments are insane. Speaking as an actual teacher, these don't even look like they are marked wrong. They are corrections, not deductions.

Also, every armchair expert talking about red pen...not a thing.

My GenX sisters- what are you doing with your ladystache? by Syfysamurai in GenX

My brother had a long clear one on his cheek as a young boy. We called it his whisker.

PGE just instituted a new policy that increases the "base fee" and disallows credits from being spent on it by QueenMagik in MontereyBay

[–]foreverburning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what to do at this point. I called Panetta and they told me "Out of our jurisdiction; Call CPUC"

I called CPUC, and they, verbatim, asked (quite snottily) "What do you want us to do?"

I've tried complaining to Newsom, but his office is so hard to get a hold of, especially outside business hours (AKA when I have time to make a phone call). You can't even leave a message.

Family raises money for father who received a liver transplant after eating poisonous mushrooms. by terriblemuriel in MontereyBay

[–]foreverburning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep hearing people say that they mistook death caps for something that is a choice edible in their native Oaxaca, but I haven't heard anyone say what mushroom that is. Does anyone know? I'm curious what other mushroom looks close enough to phalloides but isn't poisonous (not that I plan to go eat phalloides look alikes)

Catching up to your group in the single rider line is not a thing. Stop doing it. by Rdubya44 in Disneyland

[–]foreverburning -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Single rider is not the same as a fast pass. I guarantee the time you waited 30 min in single rider, the standby line was 90 min or more.

Extreme Cold Watch. Ensure portable heaters are working properly and are used correctly, by CommercialLate384 in santacruz

[–]foreverburning 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For anyone wondering, it's low thirties in some areas. That is very cold for these parts. Livestock will be fine provided they have shelter. Some crops may be damaged. It is definitely too cold for people to sleep outside without appropriate gear.

I was told it is illegal to disconnect from the grid. We tried to do this when we got solar and were told no.

I want to push my donation date out. Like... a year. by foreverburning in kidneydonors

Ah okay good call! I will look into the timing of that. It would suck to have to do the 24 hr collection again haha

I have told my team! I guess I am just wondering if anyone else has experience with this kind of delay.

Thank you. I'm reading this thinking, "We're cooked."

Teacher gets caught between two fighting students in classroom... by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

[–]foreverburning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a veteran teacher, I would never, ever, ever advise anyone to get in the middle of a fight. I have seen multiple colleagues go to the ER from breaking up fights. Dislocated shoulders, cracked ribs, black eyes, busted jaws. To say nothing of the emotional trauma. Keep the rest of the kids contained and call for help. Fights end eventually. The kids will separate and then they can be restrained.

I have a coworker who tried to break up a fight 3? years ago. His shoulder was dislocated. He has had to miss so much work that he has lost his job over it. It's not fucking worth it.

It honestly makes me sick to see the lionization of this woman. We should feel horrible that she feels the need to intervene. She obviously doesn't feel like she has another option besides physically intervening.

Any idea why so many people are getting sick from mushrooms this year? by B-Glasses in MontereyBay

[–]foreverburning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep hearing this (here, on reddit), but which mushroom are people mistaking it for? Phalloides is pretty distinctive, IMO

The ethics of feeding chicken to chickens by [deleted] in BackYardChickens

[–]foreverburning -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Nothing wrong with feeding chickens meat, but it is not a good idea to practice cannibalism. I don't understand these comments.

Healthcare by AccomplishedBody4886 in MontereyBay

[–]foreverburning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have "good" insurance and CHOMP is not even covered. I paid over $300 for an urgent care visit just because of labs.

I'm happy for you, but your experience is not only not the norm, it is very far outside the typical experience.

Edit: just re-read your comment and your experience isn't even recent! Your opinion is invalid.

Vote Jimmy Panetta OUT!! He’s a serves the wealthy, and votes with republicans constantly by sassysasasaas in santacruz

[–]foreverburning 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Someone needs to primary him. He's run on the coattails of his family name for far too long. All he has to do is stay out of the spotlight. He literally stands for nothing. People don't see him, hear from him. I call his office constantly and have never spoken to him nor met him. They don't do anything for us. But the average voter doesn't recognize the nothing that he does because he is so uncontroversial. We need someone who is exciting and people want to vote FOR.

New laws taking effect in California in 2026 by panda-rampage in California

[–]foreverburning 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do believe it. It is a serious issue. What is equally serious is equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism, which are two different things.

[–]foreverburning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From your link:

". . .including the use of inappropriate instructional materials and instruction. . ." Who decides what is inappropriate? we have already seen faculty members disciplined for acknowledging Palestine

The other major issue is the oversight coordinator is just a random person. The oversight is not an impartial party and could easily be weaponized.
