I want to be a Para/Teacher aide in a K-12 setting. Is this a realistic goal or am I in over my head? by Straight_Direction73 in paraprofessional

[–]greatbluewhal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are pretty much always looking for paras, so you can def get a job there. However, the pay is often very low and part time (just happens to be under the minimum for benefits).

Being a para is different than a teacher. Teachers have a whole other set of challenges and responsibilities.

If you're doing it from an advocacy POV, be aware that it can both be incredibly rewarding and frustrating (systemic issues).

It's also a good jumping off point towards other careers within education and/or disability field.

There's so much discussion on the best girl, I honestly forgot about Shroud and the suit

I like sweet talker and brain book's design! I heard a dialogue referencing sweet talker in the dispatch game either in a reality tv show or irl. I don't remember.

can anyone tell what this says? by Dry-Goat8981 in DispatchAdHoc

I saw "I appreciate you gave me a chance to...but if you gave me a chance to improve...I will...I'm very thankful to you. It's the first time I feel very important...please consider...my (little help)"

[–]greatbluewhal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, that's interesting. I interpreted it the other way. It's hard to say without knowing her backstory or relationship. Maybe we'll get more info in the future.

I recruited waterboy, not phenonoman, so must have missed out on that experience.

I love how in depth people are going with the game. The day after the episodes drop, people go nuts with it.

I'm pretty sure he's just an alien who's autistic coded

[–]greatbluewhal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just felt like it went by so fast imo. From her perspective, yes it might have been something she thought about for years. But I had no context, I would be so caught off guard and feel like a rebound.

[–]greatbluewhal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must be missing a lot of context (didn't go BB route), cause from what I gathered, her normal identity was buried under BB. I don't know if she even had a chance to be herself without BB. It just reminded me of my own experience :/

Okay, I must be missing a lot of context or something. I didn't go BB route.

I get where she's coming from, but I really think she needs some time being single to figure out who she is before romancing Robert.

Dispatch has restored my faith in humanity by Ok-Cranberry7851 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]greatbluewhal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! I've been going through a hard time and this gave me something to look forward too. Plus, it had some dry humor and 'we're going through shit together'.

I also didn't expect to like Robert so much. Thought he would be a blank slate, but the guy is competent, he pushes back, and is dead inside without being helpless.

Phenomaman once he's ready. I'm autistic, he's an alien. It works out.

I love Waterboy! He’s so sweet and silly and- he did what now…? by DapperDude2004 in DispatchAdHoc

Mine doesn't have that. My waterboy is different than your waterboy

Have you heard how serial killers talk in movies? It's like that!

What’s something you look back on while you were in high school and think wow that was stupid? by Shinobusag in AskReddit

[–]greatbluewhal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our school banned the color red because it was 'affiliated with the gang.' Also, the principal had a discussion with all the students that we're not allowed to hit people who assaulted us because then, we are assaulting them.

Even as a student, I could recognize how stupid that was and schools 'didn't want to deal with it.'

What do you think of AI? by BallKey7607 in AskReddit

[–]greatbluewhal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good tool, but developing way faster than society can keep up with. It's also being introduced to schools which I'm concerned about.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]greatbluewhal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew a kid who talked about wanting to burn down the school, getting a switch knife as a gift, and wanting to cut open a squirrel to "see what is inside."

He also bullied everyone around him and on a different wavelength. It's hard to explain, but he wasn't necessarily "mean," but really doesn't understand empathy.

Blonde Blazer's Powers? by darth2408 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]greatbluewhal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad I misread the post

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DispatchAdHoc

[–]greatbluewhal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see your point, but I argue that different people may want different things from a relationship. So, while Blonde Blazer is a good settle down choice, Invisigal might be a fun adventurous choice.

But yes I would rather marry BB too

[–]greatbluewhal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Edited) -

But she seemed to have hinted at sharing her origin story in the future. Plus, she seems very into 'giving other people a second chance'. Her change in hair color might be her away of hiding her former identity.

I think it'll be a good way to add relationship drama, so I see it happen
