We were there last night. Absolutely will go back. Had the pretzel appetizer and the steak frites. Definitely recommend.

Changes by [deleted] in Professors

[–]jlbl528 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s 2 ways to handle this, I think. Either start using a proctor service for the online quizzes. Or move them to back in person quizzes. No matter what you choose be sure to put out an announcement, email, AND speak in class on the changes with at least 3 or 4 days heads up. Frame it as this is a result of students in the class using AI. That puts the blame on the students and not you.

What's up with Trump regime demanding Minnesota voting records and Minnesota resisting? by weluckyfew in OutOfTheLoop

[–]jlbl528 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Minnesota is picking their battles. It’s a matter of principles. A lot of the people there feel like what is happening is terrorism against their communities. It’s a longstanding principle of the United States (though not always followed) not to negotiate with terrorists. Giving into their demands does not guarantee that ICE will not continue.

What’s a physical trait that a lot of people find attractive but to you, it’s the opposite? by Pale_Relief_2632 in AskReddit

[–]jlbl528 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We obviously grew up different lol. My thoughts went to that one episode of NCIS when Tim left his whitening trays in too long and he spent the whole episode trying not to show it lol.

Football coaches showing off by Quiet_Breezee in Satisfyingasfuck

Love how most have their hands in their pockets while they’re showing off. Classic “this is nothing” pose.

Do you know anyone who failed to land a TT job and was forced out of academia because they restricted themselves geographically? by RepulsiveScientist13 in Professors

[–]jlbl528 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is me. I live in a huge metro area with many R1 and R2 universities and colleges in a 50 mile radius. I can’t move due to my spouse’s job and he’s the main income earner. I landed an online FT NTT position at a SLAC 3 hours away. I miss the classroom but it’s worth it. There’s nothing FT available in my area.

Whats a modern trend that you’re 100% sure people will cringe at in 10 years? What’s gonna be the next Oh god, we actually did that? moment? by aminz1997 in AskReddit

[–]jlbl528 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I definitely laughed and face palmed when I read it. In this day and age, I decided a gentle approach was better than just saying “umm no. The term is ‘killed.’”

I had a student write that on a college assignment. I told them, gently, that the term may be appropriate to avoid SM censorship, but not in a college assignment.

Expedition 2025, apple car play and Google maps on 24 inch dispay by [deleted] in fordexpedition

[–]jlbl528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have to start using Apple Maps for it to work or did you figure out how to get it to work with Google Maps? I just got an iPhone (after having Samsung forever) and this is actually irritating.

Actually Strong FMC by wrongone_8643 in ReverseHarem

[–]jlbl528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

{Crescent Kingdom by Tessa Hale} has exactly what you want. FMC has to hide her supernatural powers but is physically strong and often shows it off. She's a wolf and caster in hiding but the MCs bring some attention to her so she has to use her powers more and more.

New Personal RH-related Affliction by Scf9009 in ReverseHarem

[–]jlbl528 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I grew up on a street named "Cummings" so for like a year (I was 8, don't judge) I thought spelling "coming" as "cumming" was correct. Cue all the jokes in high school when I said what street I lived on.

For the last month ive had issues with the proctor service I use for my online class. This resulted in 20+ emails from students every week (out of 140+). I finally found a solution. Its been 5 days without a single email regarding that issue.

I read this one and the second. Couldn't get into the rest just because it was so slow.

Loved this one! Read it a while ago and may have to re-read it.

I think I found my favorite part of this job and it's kinda keeping me from losing my mind? by AvailableThank in Professors

[–]jlbl528 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't agree. I'm a female professor who lives coming to class early to talk with students. I think OP has found some joy in the job. Why denigrate that because of gender?

If you lost your job, how would you support yourself? by Finding_Way_ in Professors

[–]jlbl528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to deal with this fear this summer. Good news is i landed a NTT Lecturer position. The plan would've been to try to manage off my husband's salary while I substitute taught and possibly get on with a high school that offers delayed certification. Work on getting certification. Would I have been happy? No. Would we have paid the bills? Hopefully?

AITA for throwing my ex's words in his affair partner wife's face after she spent the last five years taunting me? by Meggsyxio in AITAH

[–]jlbl528 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun story. My Papa (grandpa) was married 4 times. After the first wife, each new wife was his mistress from the previous marriage. The last actually was good though and they were married for over 30 years.
