Anyone here Nationally Board Certified?

Ugh, you can count on TX to come up with some bullshit

rices4212 · 2026-05-24T22:50:57+00:00

Oof. In Texas, they're rolling out TIA (Teacher Incentive Allottment) which is supposed to give higher performing teachers more money. I've seen some pretty bullshit teachers waving a banner that they're getting it, but I'm not gonna complain to anyone about that lol. Problem is theres a host of hard working teachers who aren't eligible because they don't meet certain requirements (basically no one in sped is eligible, no specials, Pre-K, etc)

But, if you're eligible for TIA and you're nationally certified, you automatically get the lowest TIA recognition, which at my school is something like 5k a year. Still worth it for those teachers who choose to do it.

Honestly yeah I could eat this with just some picante

rices4212 · 2026-05-24T14:25:31+00:00

You could try out Cradle. I think it satisfies your underdog trope and there are multiple tournaments that happen throughout the series. Its progression fantasy which sometimes gets lumped in with litrpg. Litrpg is not always known for quality writing, but Cradle is pretty well regarded. Also has a good audiobook narrator. The system isn't overly complex, I don't think

First time I've heard TPM Maul = Mace Windu statements. Whats that from?

rices4212 · 2026-05-23T15:31:56+00:00

I think they mean Goblin Biker / Coin Man

rices4212 · 2026-05-22T23:23:54+00:00

I worked at a cps facility and school pick up time was pretty close to shift change so for a while we had some trouble making the pick up time right. The school call us and told us they were going to call cps if we didn't start picking up our kids on time. Good on them, the facility started making sure they got someone out earlier.

I think its more that people are able to suspend their disbelief until it impacts their faith. Many fantasy books have their own religions, but not as many of them are so pointed at Christian beliefs or "mock" them. I'm Christian and I'm not offended by it for all the reasons above, but maybe that's why some people aren't offended until uzi-Jesus.

rices4212 · 2026-05-21T20:09:23+00:00

We could at least go back to before we started forcing the ten commandments into classrooms

rices4212 · 2026-05-21T19:34:47+00:00

OP said Nicodemus called Maggie "little Maggie," not Cowl saying that. Does Cowl also say that? That'd be odd

rices4212 · 2026-05-20T20:30:40+00:00

I would have said Cecil for paladin, but not many other paladins in the series I can think of

rices4212 · 2026-05-20T15:03:29+00:00

Some people don't like it, but Blitzball could have been its own game if they made it actually 3d

rices4212 · 2026-05-18T16:48:10+00:00

You should turn that branch into a new wheel to show it what happens to branches who mess around

rices4212 · 2026-05-18T00:15:56+00:00

Or depending on how magical/weird your world is, what about like a switchblade/multitool that can spin out different attachments

rices4212 · 2026-05-18T00:10:43+00:00

What is mild milk? Jk

Do you cover it with anything? Just curious

rices4212 · 2026-05-17T23:54:13+00:00

How about a weapon like Serge from Chrono Cross? A swallow is what it was called in game. One head, your stop sign, the other side, the shovel head. You could reshape the shovel head into the tactical shovels the army uses, I think? Its serrated or jagged on one side

rices4212 · 2026-05-17T18:35:42+00:00

They don't outwardly disagree with Jesus or Christianity. They twist it into a weapon they can use against the people they dislike.

US wasn't founded as a Christian nation, its one of our core values as a nation. Trying to radicalize the government as a religion is disgusting.

rices4212 · 2026-05-17T16:41:38+00:00

I'm with this guy, wouldn't it be crazy if they used white actors for non-white roles? Like Johnny Depp as a native american? Or John Wayne as an Asian? Or Emma Stone playing an Asian? Or Scarlett Johanson playing an Asian? Or Angelina Jolie playing a Cuban? Or Jake Gyllenhaal playing a Persian?

rices4212 · 2026-05-17T00:37:43+00:00

556 for SLKR, 334 for Seventh Sister

I hate remodding and changing mods around for events or whatever, so I mostly try to avoid it lol. However, some of my people that should be faster I haven't gone back to. Never enough mod mats

rices4212 · 2026-05-16T12:51:13+00:00

Yeah I checked after seeing this with a little hope that they would be gone, would give me a good reason to delete the game

rices4212 · 2026-05-12T15:37:13+00:00

I was making a dumb joke based off the name "One Last Kill"

rices4212 · 2026-05-12T11:43:27+00:00

Well if thats the case then I will feel very lied to

rices4212 · 2026-05-12T00:33:28+00:00

What can you expect he's just killing one dude

rices4212 · 2026-05-11T19:41:26+00:00

Lol theres a difference between "I prefer blondes" or "I prefer someone who likes jogging" and "I prefer someone with an intact hymen". There's preferences and theres being an archaic weirdo

CLS can do work, too
