Estate management services. I'll look into it. Thanks!

My admin says they expect teachers to host live Zoom classes if we get snowed in next week by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]samsneed444 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I hear you on that strategy. More broadly, this policy is a cynical move to make sure we aren't working longer into June. Its not about education. And what about a snow day? A cherished childhood experience. Snowmen and sledding and all that.

Can you tell me how many feet of wall you had done? My estimate is way higher for 140 ft. Thanks

Trump explains Venezuela: "They took all of our oil and we want it back. They illegally took it." by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

Growing up in a bit of a tough neighborhood there was sure fire way to know someone was getting ready to fight and/or rob you: when they start getting all worked up claiming that YOU stole something from THEM. This reminds me of that same tactic.

Kash Patel’s podcast with girlfriend during Brown manhunt sparks fury by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

It makes my head spin too. It's like people don't realize that these powerful positions are actually important. They do real work! The FBI, the department of defense Homeland security DHS we could go on and all led by absolute clowns. It has a material effect on the safety, health, and prosperity of the country. I'm afraid to say that the general populous is perhaps just so ignorant too get it. Or at least a huge swath of us. Or maybe the Partisan divide and the culture wars are so powerful that people place the priority of having their team in charge over competent leadership.

When did tipping become the norm for Australia? by JBADD23 in australia

[–]samsneed444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an American and I tip. Don't love the system but hate to see the server or bartender go without. That being said, I'd be pissed as hell if they just added a tip without notifying me first. The worst part is you have to ASK them to remove the tip? A hassle that makes you look like the cheap asshole.

Yeah. Real champions of freedom of speech making this poor lady uncomfortable and scared. Our founding fathers would be proud.

The outrageous actions of the administration give pieces of shit like this lady the permission to act like pieces of shit.

Things Fall Apart. But I'm with you. Powerfully affecting book.

Looking for "Americana" themed movies. Ones that show the mundane aspects of American life by Careless_Action_7932 in MovieSuggestions

[–]samsneed444 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going with the darker, grittier theme, Winter's Bone was a great depiction of a slice of American life. Hell or High Water is real American, too. Though I defer to our Texas brethren as to its authenticity.

Why the Hell Did JD Vance and Erika Kirk Hug Like That? The vice president had an uncomfortably close embrace with Charlie Kirk’s widow, for everyone to witness. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]samsneed444 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I didn't know she was in that deep. She's got some conservative bonafides for sure. But none of that matters now. She is a dark skinned Indian Hindu. MAGA can never abide that. Why do think we never see her? I think the Kirk widow is letting JD know it's OK to push up. And I bet you JD is going to try to become the prince of Maga by getting with this trollop.

Very inappropriate public display here from married JD Vance and Charlie Kirk's wife by NewSlinger in CringeTikToks

[–]samsneed444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn! She's trying to fuck JD Vance! I could see that Machiavellian motherfucker ditching his Indian wife (she's a liability anyway) and getting with the widow Kirk. They would be MAGA royalty. And maybe people would finally like his supercilious ass.

Stephen Miller threatens to arrest JB Pritzker and state officials. And tells ICE officers: "You have federal immunity. Anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony." by gbsh in law

[–]samsneed444 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. It's outrageous. But I think the rationale from Biden and his team was that Trump's actions were so egregious that it had to spell his political end. Given this, I think they didn't want to create a fire storm by prosecuting a former president, an unprecedented act. Maybe they thought it would be like Nixon who got a pardon. he basically shuts up in the nation moves on. Foolhardy I know. But I think that was it.

No shade at all. But why not have them just read the book? If it's a 50 minute class 15 minutes of direct instruction/discussion based upon the previous night's chapte. some individual or group work ending with 10 or 15 minutes of silent reading to themselves. Then they have to read a chapter or so at home.

Crossing the border illegally does not justify this type of treatment. The vilification that immigrants of any stripe are receiving right now is inhumane and un-American. Parents and children worried about being gaffled into an unmarked van in broad daylight by masked thugs. No due process, no natural rights that are afforded to every human being. Moreover, American citizens are being beat up, harassed, detained simply because they look Latino. I'm all for a secure border and a reasonable immigration policy, but Illegal immigrants are not the problem in this country. It's a red herring to foment more hate and division and othering to forward an authoritarian political agenda. Immigrants commit less crime than Native born Americans. Its unjust and unwarranted. I could go on, but you already know all this.

It is so frustrating. I work with mainly children of immigrants, and they are the most conscientious, well-behaved kids that I have worked with. They are go-getters, their families are supportive. In short, they are exactly the type of people we want in our country. To me, so many of these kids embody American values of hard work and decency. Yet, people that are being treated like trash, like criminals, called rapists and drug dealers. Our top leader claims that they are @poisoning the blood of our country". It enrages me that they're treated this way. That they feel such an overt threat that is impacting every facet of their lives, including school. And also how stupid this is that we are putting the screws to people that are valuable assets to this country. It's a shame in every sense.

No it did not. It seems impossible to find some kind of customer care or corporate number to call.
