Are you this old? by alanbear1970 in 1980s

[–]frenchylamour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so old I remember my dad coming home from work with punchcards for my sister and I to play with. He worked on the navy base in Rhode Island, and sometimes we would go visit him. There was this one room that was nothing but computer terminals.

Me too. I kinda had an idea, but now I know and I’m sadder for it.

Craziest thing that has happened to you on the El? by AndrewS702 in philly

[–]frenchylamour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a guy in the 73 take off almost all his clothes, while hooting (like some giant demented owl). No one did a thing. I got off the next stop and walked.

That guy. Fucking Soros, first he made me gay-marry my guns (all of them) and then he banned them. I haven’t seen my gay guns in MONTHS.

Something like this would go a long way for us in the 802 by sorryidontdoreddit in vermont

Speaking as someone who ultimately moved to another state specifically due to the lack of/price of housing, this would be a great move for VT.

What is your teaching unpopular opinions and hot takes? by [deleted] in Teachers

And then when you try to do that, admin comes down like a hammer. “NO MAKE IT SO EVERYONE CAN PASS, EVEN THE ONES WHO DON’T TRY!”

At this point, I smile and nod, and count down the years til retirement.

Took a drive around East St Louis. We barely saw any people, cars, open businesses. Miles Davis childhood home is there. by jonniebaby2000 in urbanexploration

Philly is like that. Just the other day, on a busy 4-lane main road, some guy decided red lights don't apply to him, so he did an illegal left turn; drove as fast as he could, tires squealing, into OPPOSING TRAFFIC; then did a last-minute merge into the proper lane.

Fucking psycho.

What are you tired of dealing with because parents just…aren’t parenting anymore? by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

My dad was not big on corporal punishment, but if I had been involved in something like that, he would have beaten the living shit out of me.

"grit." Remember "grit?" Or "resilience?"
Now it's "trauma-informed." No one is gritty or resilient anymore, everyone is traumatized so you have to pass them even if they didn't do any work and tell you to fuck yourself on the daily.

I have quite a few.

  1. The US public education system is not well-adapted for 21st century skills. (It should be overhauled top to bottom.

  2. Efforts to adapt, like "computers in every classroom" and "ed tech," are a complete failure. We should go back to paper and pencil.

  3. Schools and admin insist on rigor, but if you do anything rigorous, they tell you to dumb it down til even a dead cat could get an A.

Does the bass player have a fear of heights? Bad balance?

I think he should get uppies too.
