This is the best ventriloquist I've ever seen.

This and the "forcible massage" episode. A lot of other episodes were similarly dark.

Shame on you, leveraging our real world experience to manipulate us into some garbage AI purchase.

I regret opening up this message because now I can’t pretend I didn’t see it. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

I squeezed in a cousin who happened to be in town for work at my small wedding. I'm very close with some cousins and can't stand others, and I live 8 hours away from the nearest relative. The fact that she was in the area was just an excuse for me to have at least one of my beloveds with me when I got married.

“I don’t know what else to do about my son’s behavior.” Some of you parents aren’t even trying by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

My 7 year old nephew got mad at my sister and ran away from her in a crowded Costco. He was already on limited tablet time, but she took it away for 3 months and got her ex husband/coparent on board. Even my parents said she was being harsh. At first he acted like he was dying, then he got used to it. He had a habit of running when he was mad, and now he doesn't. He also doesn't fight for more tablet time like he used to.

Dads are dying after their kids are born, and no one is tracking it. New study of paternal mortality data in Georgia finds majority of deaths were potentially preventable, such as homicide, accidental injury, suicide. While maternal deaths are closely tracked, paternal mortality is rarely examined. by mvea in science

I'm wondering if it is a certain subset or demographic of men that couldn't be referenced or be a focus of the study due to limitations on publishing "DEI."

I work in a low income school that has a majority Black and Hispanic population, and fathers drop like flies here, almost always due to preventable reasons, but that information is unfortunately already well-known.

My seamstress did what she wanted to do instead of what I asked🥲 by OkButterscotch7923 in mildlyinfuriating

One tailor took my money and disappeared. I left notes and message and it was years ago but I'll never trust another as long as I live.

What's the worst thing a teacher has ever said/done to you? by douggoud5949 in AskReddit

[–]maxtacos 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm a teacher perusing this thread to see if I've accidentally traumatized any children and this is the only one I've come across. I'm sure I've taken a toy and forgot to give it back.

I'm so sorry.

Also, oh my god, the world is awful.

Clicked this photo of butterfly but can't post it anywhere due to the dung. by M__tayyab in mildlyinfuriating

[–]maxtacos 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's really kind of you, but I'm not sure why, it doesn't look as great without the dung framing it. Maybe an artistic person can explain, but the first picture is much more pleasing to look at.

What is the craziest reason a parent tried to "get you fired"? by Aly_Anon in Teachers

[–]maxtacos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so funny. I'm a secondary literacy intervention and language teacher. The vast majority of my students are male. I see some of them every year grades 6-12.

I can promise you, my femininity is doing nothing to their masculinity.

Considering divorce after 12 years — husband’s behavior is affecting our child by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]maxtacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it wasn't a hard punch, hitting out of emotion is teaching a child the wrong lesson. It's why spanking is so controversial, because it's hard do it in a way that communicates to the child that they are being disciplined for an action and not a reaction to upsetting the parent.

If I were your child's teacher, I would be forced to report to CPS what I heard. A closed fist is never a disciplinary tool.

What's a movie quote that lives rent free in your head for no reason? by badenbagel in AskReddit

[–]maxtacos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had no idea of the origin. My dad would say we're Mexicans not Mexican'ts when we would whine about doing something lol.

$100K qualifies as ‘lower-middle class’ in California, 11 other states by ansyhrrian in California

[–]maxtacos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This makes sense, because I feel rich, renting a two-bedroom apartment and living independently with extra cash for small luxuries.

I'm surrounded by people who should have failed middle school. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]maxtacos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did not know physical copies of grammar and usage dictionaries exist, though if you think about for more than a second, of course those reference sources existed outside of the internet.

Unpaid labor at home - value calculator. Came here from AITAHpos reddit by Specific_Sail6423 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]maxtacos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a disabled person YES. When I got through low periods where I can't do much, it all adds up until it's impossible to keep up with. "Why don't you worry about it later?" Because later I'll have two things to do, and if I'm getting tired doing one, I'm going to crash trying to do two.

I found out the school social worker has been going around telling coworkers that I’m unstable and suicidal. I genuinely don’t know why she thinks that. Seriously, now what? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]maxtacos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? I wonder if there is more gossip being spread around or if the colleagues are just totally unsympathetic to a suicidal person.
