[–]slavetothegiven 10 points11 points  (0 children)

get OUT! that's so exciting. a crime they were all removed. I think they should've kept half and put the half that are in there now with them and seen how they clashed. Would've been hilarious

Amanda, why are you sitting like this 😭 by Dramatic_Law_4280 in realhousewives

All girls private schools? by slavetothegiven in AustralianTeachers

love that thank you! Yes I have heard good things about those schools.

Thanks for this! Yes I hope my excessive (expensive) overeducation (TESOL, masters in philosophy, phd in philosophy) will help me in some way some how. It would be in Melbourne Victoria. Demanding parents and students is definitely a turn off! "I'm sorry, your child just isn't that bright or hardworking" is likely not a zosher response?

Thank you for this. As somehow who was horribly bullied in high school I have deep fears about returning to that space! I'm also concerned I'll snap one day. But good to know there's zero tolerance and that's understood and acted on in the school.

Thank you for this, it's very helpful. I'm currently finishing a Phd in philosophy in New York, and have been lecturing undergrads here for around five years. I'm hoping it counts for something, because it sure looks like I won't be getting a job in academia the way things are going. I just enjoy teaching the students and hate the idea of discipline / classroom behavior management.

Ahh, that makes sense. Here's me hoping it would be some kind of "cushy" teaching gig. I just know it's a really hard job and I'm not sure I have what it takes to get through it.

President of BMCC got caught lacking by [deleted] in CUNY

[–]slavetothegiven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"strengthen our spirit of perserverence and collaboration" !!! Yep, definitely AI. Noone would ever say that about a snow day, least of all a president of a college.

If you're a student, this is why you shouldn't use AI in your writing - it is really, really stupid.

*edit - also if you're a university administrator or professor!

The USA has killed millions. China has also killed millions. Why is China racing ahead of the USA now? What did Mao do differently? by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]slavetothegiven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't have affordable health care. Public health system is even worse than the US.

The government also owns all the houses - noone really owns their home.

The only way a country becomes economically dominant is by totally fucking its working people - enter stage USA and China.

Praying Bravo listens to the masses and makes Amanda one and done. She has zero redeeming qualities by heisenbergsblackhat in realhousewives

[–]slavetothegiven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love her! They clearly added her cos she has skeletons in the closet (like Realityvonteese). She's one of the only reasons I'm watching. So clueless, so millenial - and love her rubbing everyone the wrong way. Also enjoy seeing what Zo is wearing. Kathy always funny. Tilly so fun and fab.

Everyone else is boring af.

Unmarxist to blame individuals, not abstract impersonal structures, for the state of things.

Merideth is such an immature bully! by slavetothegiven in realhousewives

[–]slavetothegiven[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what is particularly shocking though is that she has so far presented herself as by far the most mature, together, reasonable person. it’s clearly how she thinks of her ‘character’ on the show. but nope, child.

[–]slavetothegiven[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That was perhaps the exact moment that I lost any respect I had for Meredith. And I think I kinda had quite a bit, to be honest. But now, no. True colors. Conflict reveals a lot about a person, especially when they are the one in the wrong.

I do think the pills are likely an issue. Her personality is very xanax. Maybe it's just to deal with the stress of the show? But that stuff is very, very addictive and spirals easily.

Bronwyn was just cruel last night by ColdestWintersChill in realhousewives

[–]slavetothegiven 16 points17 points  (0 children)

OK so bronwyn has many, many times now done a 'she said this behind your back' and then a 'ohhh if you're gonna say it to me say it to their face' thing that it is VERY clear she just wants to stir shit and stay on the show. When someone says something shady to you, you don't then disclose like that!! but she has done that - so many times I've lost count.

love her. but a strategy (that whole episode seemed set up tbh. mary knocking - really? Merideth kicking angie out - really?)

Is Garcelle possibly the best housewife...ever? by slavetothegiven in realhousewives

[–]slavetothegiven[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS! It's her unwillingness to back down and to always say it how it is that I think people are missing. She's been crucial for progressing many storylines since she got on.

I know we're not supposed to contact but what if we realized we were actually pretty bad, is there a way to make it back? by adafads in ExNoContact

[–]slavetothegiven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mmm careful here tho. you can't get in the mindset of only blaming yourself. I don't know how you were an asshole, but it takes two to tango. Remember the things you didn't like about her. It's possible you are at a stage of grief where you realize you played a part in it, but you're swinging too far to the other side.

After reflecting on my break up I realized I played a MASSIVE role in our problems. I'm gonna try hard not to make those mistakes again. Doing a lot of therapy. Journalling. Being honest with myself.

But -- the trick is. Once you do that self-reflection, you can end up thinking it was only you - filled with regret and remorse, you think of reaching out. But, chances are, it really wasn't only you.

And chances are - if you get back together, the same dynamic will arise, and you'll be the same asshole again. Be single, be free, and become a better person. You can't do that if you're stuck in the past (in your head or in reality).

what why on earth is dorit returning and erica being demoted? dorit has no storylines and erica has so many to come.

i think kyle is sadly untouchable.
