Five days later you come crawling back for more attention. Seriously, fuck all the way off troll.

One exception would be someone who is working on Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Those have to be on Income-Driven Repayment plans and there’s no advantage to overpaying.

My kid isn’t in your classroom, I didn’t involve you in the conversation, so your advice is, definitionally, unsolicited. I don’t have to resort to profanity, I choose to, because you’re an officious, condescending prick who can fuck off. :)

Side note, anyone know of a way to block someone on Kinja? I’m bored getting…

Thank God that’s past tense. Just as parents have limited purview to tell teachers how to teach, teachers have very little to say about how to parent. Fuck off you arrogant prick.

ETA: This fall marks my 17th in the classroom. So fuck off again. And then one more time. And then one for every single year I’ve taught…

No. I’ve described a problem I had, sympathizing with another parent. I didn’t ask for and don’t want your parenting advice, which seems to be contingent on me explaining the way my parenting relationship works to a stranger who also has no identifiable expertise or apparent experience but thinks that somehow…

You have quite missed the point. Thanks my guy.

She bought the house after she left BLM and NYP just has this up hoping people won’t know what LA real estate is like so they can get some clicks.

Her house is apparently 200 sqft bigger than mine. Now, I don’t live in LA, so mine isn’t worth anywhere near that much (but it looks like my backyard is much bigger). Otherwise, this story just seems like trolling.

Yeah, this. Sometimes I even had the homework done, in my folder, and still didn’t turn it in. I genuinely have no idea what the hell was wrong with me. :)

There’s a dry erase board on the side of the fridge to list leftovers that are in there (along with their original dates) that helps us both remember to eat things that we already have and get rid of stuff that needs to go. Trash goes out on Tuesday morning at my house, so the fridge gets cleaned out on Monday night…

The Fox News folks are loving it. Hell, the AG of Indiana was back on Twitter praising Kanye *after* this tweet. They love Soros/globalist/shadowy cabal conspiracy theory stuff, the same sort of thing Kanye said, they just don’t say “Jews.”

...and? She’s got a 2600 sqft 3/3 in LA. Yeah, it costs 1.4 mil. She spent “thousands” on the backyard? Good for her, I guess? Unless there’s something that indicates the money came from somewhere it shouldn’t have, maybe don’t just jump in on some NY Post article that includes the word “Marxist” in the first sentence…

When I’m working with thawed steaks I do the same, but specifically with frozen, it has been a problem.

The only change I’d suggest is a wire rack on top of a baking sheet in the oven. Put it in while it preheats and then put the steak on top of the wire rack to cook.

If you don’t do that, the one side of the steak is constantly getting direct heat from the skillet and the meat can cook unevenly. You could get in there…

I’ve got a friend whose dad passed away relatively recently. She is very well-educated, with a long and established career of her own, and she has for years identified largely as the daughter of a lineman. It is infuriatingly weird.

As a gifted elementary kid in a Dallas suburb, I had one day a week where I’d go to school, then leave an hour later with the other gifted kids to go to a different building where we had a years-long program that was structured similarly to a college program (core courses, electives, credit hour counts). The criterion…

For some reason, I’ve never liked actual peanut butter in oatmeal. Something about the taste always seems off, even when it’s peanut butter I eat in any other way. The powdered peanut butter on the other hand is a big winner.

Since competitive debate has gone basically all-electronic, the art of the pen flip may be falling away for that particular subgroup of nerds. As an old debater, I lament the loss (even though I never could flip my pen).

Reiterating what others have also pointed out: the person requesting a recount has to pay for it, that’s state law. It’s happening in a couple of other races from the same election. It’s not the SoS office just making things up. Also, the SoS is Scott Schwab, not Brian Caskey.

As a Kansan, kindly fuck off. It’s a lot of fun to dismiss red states as full of idiots, but this is also a state that’s had two Democratic women elected governor since 2004 (Sebelius was re-elected and we’re hoping we can keep Laura Kelly this year too), elected a queer Native woman to the House, has a state supreme…
