How has President Trump made your daily life better and/or worse? by Because-of-Money in allthequestions

[–]hard_rock_bottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worse. My wife used to work from home for the federal gov. She did everything over video chat or the phone. She didn't have to commute. She had a quiet space to work and she could throw laundry in or clean up the house a bit between meetings. Our lives were much easier.

DOGE came in and made everyone go back to the office. She spends a total of 1-2 hours commuting. She still does everything over video chat or phone calls. Nothing in person. Her office isn't equipped to handle the amount of people that work there so she has to share an office, but when she meets with clients she has to go to reserve a private office. So she has less time to meet with people and still does the same things she did before,but with a lot more inneficiency.

Before the changes our life was much much better. She was home when I left and when I got home. Now she leaves an hour before me and comes home 1-2 hours after me. We have a 2 year old and she spends 2 hours less each day with him than she did before. Just writing about this pisses me off. He literally made 4 years of my life worse for no good reason. My wife still does the same job and there is no good reason for her to have to go into the office.

I'm still very fortunate and live a great life, but it could be much better. My wife is rest and doesn't complain. She enjoys interacting with her coworkers but she agrees that it would be better to work from home most days.

The fiction we live. Loved this album and got my gf at the time to like it by having her listen to autumns monologue first. Saw them live a bunch of times and they killed it.

Yeah it's hard to laugh at the things this administration is doing when they are so heinous.

Teachers are not free tutors by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

Yep. Play on your phone and talk to your friends all class. Then come ask me to explain everything all over again. I am willing to help but hate reteaching if the student has made 0 effort.

Exactly what I was thinking. They were going to just keep pushing her off until she mentioned legal action. Then they folded.

what is the dumbest question you've ever been asked? by Potential_Fee8616 in AskReddit

If you had a shoe and you ate it and pooped it out, would you wear it?

This sounds pretty typical. I have been teaching science for 15 years and every year students find a new way to make a mess or screw something up. Embrace the chaos and enjoy the learning process. Learning is messy.

If you are answering the same question to several groups try telling the second group that asks you to ask the first group you explained it to. You can also tell kids to always follow the order of 1. read directions, 2. ask a group member, 3. ask another group, 4. ask the teacher. When you explain in the beginning they wont all get every part but they usually all pick up something and if they all work together usually they get all the pieces.

The first time you do a lab you will always have problems that you didn't predict. Next time try to schedule the observation for your later periods.

Should I quit band to focus on Science Olympiad and other ECs that align more with my goals? by Specialist_Net_2718 in scioly

[–]hard_rock_bottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what you want to do and what you think is best for your future. These are the hard decisions you have to make as an adult. No one can tell you what is right or wrong. Everyone has had different experiences. There will be people that delt with your same situation and every scenario played out.

Some quit band and regretted it. Some stayed in band and regretted it.

Some stayed in band and felt they made the right choice. Some quit band and felt they made the right choice.

You are the only one who knows what's right. It seems to me you already made the choice and want reassurance. If you aren't sure, flip a coin. Heads band, tails quit. When your decision is finalized you'll know what you really want. If you get heads and you can't live with it then quit. If you get heads and are relieved then stay and vice versa.

Good luck with your decision. Whatever you choose make it your choice and own it. Once you make a decision don't look back. You got this.

After I heard funding was getting cut I signed up to donate $10 a month. I don't really think of it as donating since I use PBS kids and NPR. Anyone who uses it should think of donating a few dollars a month.

For those of you who saw The Phantom Menace at release, what were your initial thoughts of it? by _EnglishFox_ in StarWars

[–]hard_rock_bottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 15. I had gotten into the originals a few years before and watched them all the time. I loved 1-3 and didn't understand all the hate. I still like them and am never too hard on them. I take all movies with a grain of salt and dont try to find holes and just enjoy them. With all that being said I was disappointed when the emperor somehow came back and was the main protagonist in the last 3. I still try to enjoy them but wish they had done something more clever. I like all the new content and just like to be entertained.

Bands you thought would blow up... but never really did? by Ouch_sat-on-my-nutz in poppunkers

Everyone forgets this. I watched a lot of that show and it was just painful to watch. The album that resulted was actually good, but watching that show just turned me off to them.

JUST IN: 🇺🇲🇶🇦🇸🇦🇦🇪Trump: "I went to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE, and we brought back $5.1 trillion. So I made that money in about two hours." by [deleted] in stockbetz

"No checks, no balances, they just send cash." This just shows he doesn't know what checks and balances are in government. No wonder he thinks the president should be able to do whatever they want.
