@AmericanProtago @anymanfitness Yes and honestly man I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I teach 100 either graders. Students on all different levels. Dudes lost and if 2013 was the last time he taught fully or anytime before COVID. He’s really out of touch

I was a teacher for 12 years, and I hate this sort of rhetoric. A teacher's day is done by 3 pm. They never work a night or weekend unless they want to. Only 180 work days per year, they're off 1/2 the time. It's paid appropriately, but no teachers want to hear that.

Things #Teachers don’t talk about: That unpaid hour before school where you’re setting up the room, printing papers, and trying to mentally prepare for the day.

@BIGCOACHO_ @anymanfitness As a teacher, I had many Honors/AP students who would tell me about other teachers who they said couldn't teach. They would say that the only reasons they were getting A-grades was because they were basically teaching themselves. The OP here was obviously one of those teachers.

@anymanfitness Teaching higher level kids isn’t hard😂 “they gave me the class where all the kids are smart, so when they scored well.… it was because of me” a blind and def man could do that. 😂😂😂😂

@BowieTheus @beermanFL @LasVegasLocally When sports teams move to a new city, that means more people from that place are also moving to that city, which also means more traffic, higher crime, homelessness, higher prices--all the bad things about big cities, but still none of the good things for people living here.

Oakland fans said the Las Vegas A's stadium would never get built. We're starting to think they were wrong.

@BowieTheus @beermanFL @LasVegasLocally And now they're coming to Vegas and bringing those same problems with them, which already exist, but now will be worse. But y'all keep thinking this is a good thing. Be careful what you ask for. Las Vegas was much better before they started trying to turn it into a sports city.

@RydenBets @LasVegasLocally The stats show that there are indeed fewer people visiting Las Vegas and going to the Strip casinos. The revenue is coming from the people who still go, though lower in number, still being willing to spend higher amounts of money, but they would still be going regardless.

@LasVegasLocally The monthly casino stats are public knowledge. Hard to call a $2 bil/month industry “dead.” The customers certainly ain’t deceased.

@NWTacoLover @LasVegasLocally Las Vegas has always been a place where people can spend a lot of money if they want, but it was also a place where people didn't have to spend a lot of money to enjoy themselves. The idea that Vegas should now only appeal to people wanting to spend a lot of money is ridiculous.

@LasVegasLocally So funny to see the YouTubers that spent months talking about how Vegas was going to die forever. All click bait garbage by people who can't afford Vegas in the first place. The new Las Vegas Strip is no longer cheap buffets and 2 for 1 beers. It is a luxury lifestyle vacation.

@maxaminion @chrstnhfl @LasVegasLocally Except that people who live here also have to pay sales tax. And we're paying more of it because we're buying more things year-round as opposed to people who are here for only a few days. So how exactly is it less of a burden?

Nevada is no longer the low-tax paradise it once was. In fact, the Silver State now ranks 27 out of 50 for "overall tax burden" according to a new WalletHub report. That's mainly because our sales and excise tax is insane — 6.3% statewide and 8.375% in Clark County. 💀

@weiss1163770 @zaqud1967 @miles_commodore Doing nothing about the Great Depression wasn't an option. Not interfering in the free market was the philosophy of his Republican predecessor (Hoover) who lost re-election and became unpopular. When people are suffering, they need help, not lectures about "rugged individualism."

@zaqud1967 @miles_commodore Better to have done nothing in both instances than interfere in the free market and in a European civil war, we are still stuck with this counter-productive mindset.

After FDR finished his second term the poverty rate for black Americans was over 90%. Plus, let’s just say he didn’t exactly poll very well with Japanese Americans in California. FDR in my opinion is the most overrated President in American history.

@cc37876 @EvilRichRod @LasVegasLocally You apparently haven't noticed the obvious fact that the city no longer cares about locals. If it did, they wouldn't be trying to bring all these teams here in the first place. Vegas was much better before they started trying to turn it into a sports town.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially denied our baseball team's request to trademark "Las Vegas Athletics" today. Officials ruled the name is too generic. Fortunately, we have already come up with a new, much better brand identity for the team...

This was Baltimore in 1946 The white marble steps of Baltimore were once the city's trademark. Homeowners took pride in scrubbing them daily, ensuring they stayed bright.

@joefreeland1971 @grok @dazzlingxrpl @JamesLucasIT Of all the good things to do with AI, you dummies use it to turn historical photos into fake trash pics representing your ignorant fantasies. As a native of Baltimore, I grew up seeing real-life images of the original photo. The ones you created exist only in your damaged minds.

@skylarromines @tomolesnevich @rossiadam We never in our lives woke up at 4:30 AM on Christmas morning. Are there really kids who do that? My parents would have told us to go right back to bed.

Not too many years ago we would have been dragged out of bed three hours ago by excited kids. Now it’s just me and the dog awake, with everyone else snoozing. Young parents, I know it’s rough when the kids run in at 4:30am shouting “Santa was here!”, but you will miss it.

@MomKrill @catholic_comedy Spend the day on the beach! (Seriously, though, I feel for you. I was really shocked that my in-laws didn’t consider baby-proofing an automatic thing to do and instead thought a 17 m.o. could learn that glass ornaments within easy reach were a no-no.)

Parents should visit their children, if able. It can be quite difficult for families, especially with many children, to do the traveling. Parents should be the ones making the trek to their adult children.

@leamaric @SlumRNA_Dog What's unfathomable about adhering to family traditions? I can't speak for all families, but my family still does the same things for Christmas and every other holiday that we've been doing my whole life. Why should that change because one person decides to no longer participate?

My wife’s parents are like the perfect encapsulation of Boomer Mindset: “We’re staying home for Xmas.” “But we want to see the kids for Christmas!” “Okay so then come up.” “But we always do Christmas here, since you were little your grandma would come up here for Christmas!”
