Q: are you a dude.

Maybe they should build an elevated trainline above ground on Third Avenue. They could call it the Third Avenue El. That would help, and cost less to build, wouldn’t it?

So, “Looks like a penis, only smaller” is probably not appropriate when the genders are reversed. Good to know.

Given the teacher’s response, I doubt this teacher is in the right.

there is no down vote option on here so I just wanted to write how much I dislike this comment

As a history teacher in high school, I think this kid’s letter is the visual representation of awesome. At nine he is coherent, asking legitimate questions and pointing out problems. The real problem is the teacher’s dismissive comment that didn’t actually say anything. The teacher is disappointed? Maybe they should…

You’re taking a lot of liberties in assessing what did and did not happen in this situation. I wonder if she actually did say this and not the perhaps bullshit that you assume she probably said. In my experience, teachers will often treat young students as if they are completely clueless to anything that their lesson…

That is still what is being taught in my nieces’ schools. I also see textbooks posted regularly with the same ish.

I don’t know how to do gifs and emojis. But I’ll just type blank face and leave

OP here — thanks for replying! I did end up paying most of the credit card debt off and will pay off the rest next month. I’m usually pretty good with credit; just let this one get a little too high for my comfort levels, which I won’t do again. And I’m going to start socking money away in my savings that I would have…

poor advice...use $2,000 in savings to get rid of the $2,000 in debt and save the interest payment. Then use your previous credit card payment to build up your savings. IF (and a big if) you have issues and need to tap into your savings, and don’t have enough, use your credit card as a back up. Worse case scenario,…

I did exactly this!!! My thinking was if I have an emergency, the credit card I just paid off has zero balance (plus the emergency money you still have) so I’m covered. Otherwise you’re paying interest to the bank on the card while your saving just sits there not accumulating any interest of it’s own for you (but the…

Pay it off. You just made $138 by not paying the interest for a year.

It’s how you react when you’re tired/frustrated/annoyed that determines whether your relationship will last. It’s like building an intricate hobby model with all the plastic parts, and glue, and paint, etc. Shit will go sideways. You can get mad and need to cool off. But if you lash out at it, you end up with a…

ok this is great advice that many of us already know. the issue comes down to how this plays out in real life. in any marriage or relationship, people work best together when they compromise but its just not that easy to do. you get in your feelings, you’re tired from the day, shit just irks you and then you’re…

Can you show me the cropped mugshot of a person who looks like they can afford an AMG? I know these kids have a criminal history, but your comment continues to perpetuate the kind of bullshit that ends up endangering brown people who can in fact afford that type of car.

Let’s not call groups full of dipshits like these guys “car clubs.” Car clubs are for people who have meets in parking lots without using their cars in dangerous manners. They are clubs for people who want to meet and talk with other people about cars. They hold auto x events and track day meetups. They admire and…
