i think it is nice that some folk in vietnam and india can extract a living from facebook by creating shrimp jesus

And it is supposed to be a La Nina year.

Genuinely fascinating that this was built. I feel like anyone could have told the architect that this structure is off-putting, even scary. No one has ever had nightmares about the Bean. NYC really needed the staircase from Pathologic?

If it is anything like my old state, NY, you can ignore a lot of the standards. Over specificity means extremely low number of test questions on that standard and low variety in the test questions when they show up.

The fact that TPT exists in the way that it does is baffling. We spend so much on education, the federal government or a large state could just buy TPT, run it at cost. New teachers are swamped by the need to develop a curriculum, lesson plans, and make materials and those are all things a government would be good at providing. Why does every teacher need to reinvent the wheel.

Testing random students daily would be a lower workload than what was expected the previous school I worked at where I had to test all students daily.

Nope, the classroom part is easy. Even if the kids are annoying, most of them will learn. But most importantly the amount of energy you can spend in each class is capped. It is, at worst, 45 minutes of walking and yelling. And admin very rarely watches the classes. They are out of their element in the classes. They just want to see the lesson plans and their expectations for those lesson plans are infinite and bizarre, 6+ pages per 45 minute class, timed to the minute, all content squeezed into a spreadsheet where most columns only have one word and one column has paragraphs, mandatory template looks like shit so they always have something to complain about.

Bolsonaro is the closest politician to Trump in the world and he has been in the hospital almost dead his entire life.

but there are some differences

There is no mindfuck. They sing 20 Frank Sinatra songs, mostly in earnest.

The movie is all covers. There is like one original song.

The movie is bad but Phoenix’s performance is really good. His cartoon chicken impression is worth $20 million.

Yes, it is that bad. It barely even qualifies as a musical. None of its music is original so none of its music really matches the scene. It felt like Suicide Squad, slop with licensed music on top, except even more boring.

I’m an overseas American and I am not voting because it would be a bizarre waste of time. Not only would I be voting by mail in a solidly blue state but if votes by mail ever determined an election there would be a coup.

IMO the app Everything is necessary if you want to search through your files on Windows 11. Typing in the name of a program I know I have and the first item being “web search” drove me nuts.

I wanted to like RoP because the costumers really put in work. The characters all look amazing. But yeah too boring. I wanted a lot more stinky hobbits and the big man and they kept jumping to storylines that had no gas.

I saw that on James Bond

Putting the big wheels in wells is a waste. We should build them up into the sky so everyone can look at the big wheels and feel happy.

I think the folks who gave me some books can have a camping trip in a marsh.

The teacher is hoping the rest of the class will socially punish the disrupting student in some way. They are doing this because teacher have no means of punishing students other than this and scolding.
