By SUPER YARAK Go To PostNot as if your students turn up anyway, so you'll be fineI think they’ll be graded for attendance for both days.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostI think they’ll be graded for attendance for both days.
Is it by degrees? So if they like turn up wearing some fuckin' sweet ass yellow Crocs with Minion faces on them they get graded A?
The weirdest thing happened to me driving back to my office today from a another location we have. I was in a 65MPH zone where I thought I was doing 75. After checking, my dash cam says 80/82MPH.Before that though, I passed a section of the freeway where a big wall was coming to an end. Interesting note, it's right by the exit I can take to get to my house. As I continued past that exit, there was a white highway patrol SUV on the patch between the north and southband lanes. The highway patrol was facing directly at the traffic flowing south, maybe in a an effort to quickly jump in our direction and pursue someone if they were speeding. As soon as I got closer the SUV they immediately started moving closer to the road and then put their left-hand blinkers on. I thought, "OH SHIT, he's gonna get on the freeway and turn his lights on and pull me over, FUCK!"
I'm not really interested in giving the city an extra ~$400 for a speeding ticket, mind you.
I guess, luckily for me there was traffic behind me. I clearly slowed down after passing him, but kept going on the freeway back to work. Traffic was merging on the freeway behind me and I was successfully creating a gap in distance/cars behind him and me. I kept checking my rear view mirror. I didn't see any flashing lights or a white SUV changing lanes or anything. I continued to take it easy and then took my exit that gets me back to the office. During the final 10 minute drive, I was fearful they were gonna call ahead and have someone else jump in and pop me. I didn't see any cops, all the traffic lights were favorable to me - so no stopping at reds, and I pulled in to my parking lot. I sat there for a good five minutes and then exited. PHEW.
I'm gonna be on the safe side and leave my car parked in my garage for a week. I'm also gonna take a different way home in an effort to avoid going back on the freeway. I've got a truck that I can use when I don't feel like driving the Hellcat (ie. when it's raining, foggy, etc.).
What an afternoon.

if it was the UK you'd get a letter from the police soon after you forgot about it, threatening prosecution if you don't pay the fine and take the points hit on your licence.

That is the stupidest Boomer shit I've seen in this thread. How are people amazed by this?
Look at the still swing at 37 seconds. Its sway speeds up along with the moving one.

I basically burned my little black book and started over. I've had a couple 'prospects' who have been on and off with me over the months due to some outside circumstances in their life. I've tried to get them into something on my time but they never do. 'I can't' followed by 'I miss you's'' those types of things.It's been a huge source of my anxiety and depression(though definitely not the only one) over the last year. So I sent out messages last night to the four of them and was basically like 'hey am i wasting my time, what are we doing here' etc. Two of them gave me the same bullshit reasons and the other two left me on read
And I feel so much better now not worrying myself over that. I've started slowly fixing my diet(mostly increasing my protein intake which is giving me more muscle and burning more fat with a quickness i wasn't expecting) which has given me a lot more energy and happiness which has me working harder, looking into going back to school and challenging myself more at the gym. I'm sure that depression will peak its little head in again, but it's feeling like I can handle it a lot better now that I'm only focused on myself.

man a lot of times i wonder why i even bother with dating and even most friendships
it just feels so uneven. i know i've always had a need to be liked due to being an only child. so i probably invest in people more than i should. but it just feels like im the afterthought or backup plan in so many of my relationships. at the same time i know that its also selfish/entitled to feel like this.
its a weird feeling to be self aware of how/why you do the things you do and still be unable to change it.
Y'all wouldn't feel like that if you had actual hopes dreams or passion for anything
All those feels would be replaced by self guilt, which is much easier to manage.

People get busy and life styles change. But do some real evaluation.
I also stop inviting people out, if they stop showing up. Many have come back later and asked why i stopped asking "Why would i go out of my way if you can't be bothered to put in bare minimum".
By giririsss Go To PostIf your friends won't make time for you …. Particularly repeatedly bailing …See i used to do that and I let folks make me feel like the bad guy for cutting them off.

I don't encounter folks bailing on set plans much anymore. Moreso folks hitting me up last minute after their A, B and C fell thru. It just makes me second guess folks a lot. Maybe that's not fair of me.

At least reaching my goals is mostly within my control. Just have to do my part to be ready for the opportunity
By domino Go To PostSee i used to do that and I let folks make me feel like the bad guy for cutting them off.You don't have to tell people, just ghost. If they bitch at you then you come at them with "if you wanted to chill with me badly enough then you'd invite me to shit."

Maybe that's not fair of me.Unless you're someone's boo or bestie this is inevitable at times. If they're not inviting you out to gatherings for like a birthday with everyone though consider they're treating you like a charity case, pity inviting you and move the fuck on. I think once folks get old and even settle down with a person they're just less apt to go out of their way to invite folks out. I do know it can also feel weird for a couple to invite folks out who are single too, they don't want them to feel like they're tagging along on a date. And a lot of people are just still really insecure about hanging out sans their SO if the other person is the opposite gender.

By DY_nasty Go To PostIt ain't kids. Walls get higher the older you get.The wall just got 10 feet higher?
By DY_nasty Go To PostIt ain't kids. Walls get higher the older you get.Eh disagree. Some people get way less social once they got little ones to raise. And that means even less new people to meet. And or they get in a zone where their social groups are now other people who also got kids.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostEh disagree. Some people get way less social once they got little ones to raise. And that means even less new people to meet. And or they get in a zone where their social groups are now other people who also got kids.Longer you live the more certain you are about things you like around you and the type of people/situations that you don't fuck with. Your list of red flags grows even as you grow your perspectives.
Kids are just a highlighting factor if anything imo.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostThe wall just got 10 feet higher?Trust but verify
By DY_nasty Go To PostIt's harder making friends as you get olderIt can be and that's not really a bad thing, because people are horrible.
By YungMagus Go To Post:mjcry:Shit even harder in Japan because you could be having a seizure on the train while being swallowed whole by a boa and people would still pretend to be asleep so they wouldn't have to give up their seat
true, it painful
By blackace Go To PostShit even harder in Japan because you could be having a seizure on the train while being swallowed whole by a boa and people would still pretend to be asleep so they wouldn't have to give up their seatSounds like Jamaica

On top of my own closedness as well.
Friendships is some DMD-difficulty bullshit.

Going to finally go through with it and take a 4 month social media hiatus. Mostly just trying not to get on Facebook, but I know I'll just replace that with things like IG and Snapchat. So I'm going to drop all that cold turkey for 4 months. I'll probably still use slaent since it's a little slower moving so it's not as easy to get addicted to. Keep working on my nutrition and reading more, become more well balanced and all that good business. Also dropping stuff like reddit and other message boards.
Kind of don't want to tell any of my friends that I don't see outside of social media because I'm curious how they react. If they do react. But I'm sick of the 'likes' dopamine cycle.

I wouldn't go into it expecting some sort of reaction from other people. It's just kind of kicking the "dopamine cycle" can down the road more than anything. Other than that its a solid idea.
By rodeoclown Go To PostY'all, I passed my final Praxis test. Inching closer to my master's.
Congrats, but what is a praxis test?
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostCongrats, but what is a praxis test?Exams required for teaching licensure in the States. I've had to take four of them: math, reading, writing and English content (history, movements, syntax, grammar). The last was easily the worst, most difficult one.

Cool. You are planning to become a teacher after your masters?
By FortuneFaded Go To PostRIP rodeoclownMy background was in journalism. I'm already dead.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostCool. You are planning to become a teacher after your masters?That is the plan. My degree will let me teach grades 6-12, but I'm hoping to be able to teach older children.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostCongrats, but what is a praxis test?It's for getting augments in Deus Ex. rodeo can jump really high now.
