  • What's your favorite movie that is in a language which you do not speak?

    Jump

  • This is a good one as is Good Bye, Lenin!

  • What's your favorite movie that is in a language which you do not speak?

    Jump

  • Yes! I am a Marvel fan, but wasn’t super into What If but that episode was so damn cool and the language was faaaaaaaantastic!

  • When did this trend of putting cropped social media posts on giant ugly backgrounds start?

    Jump

  • No idea what you’re referring to. Can you provide an example?

  • Americans are waking up. A grand reckoning awaits us

    Jump

  • Yeah, but you can imagine what it would be like if they were.

  • Trump’s Mystery Bruise Spreads to His Other Hand

    Jump

  • I hear what you’re saying, but let poetry be in poems and let direct truth be in headlines. I don’t see a reason to pretty up news.

  • Trump’s Mystery Bruise Spreads to His Other Hand

    Jump

  • For sure. I do understand how it was used, but it still sounds stupid. Just write, “Bruise appears on Trump’s other hand—speculations rise” or something to that effect.

    Edit: I think in a world where people just read the headlines, and with many Americans reading at a low level, that people might take it more literally which I why I don’t like the headline as written.

  • Trump’s Mystery Bruise Spreads to His Other Hand

    Jump

  • I am commenting just because I take issue with the headline. The bruise did not spread to his other hand. He has a bruise on one hand and a separate bruise on another hand. There’s no spreading because that’s not how a bruise works. It’s not fucking contagious.

  • The job market is so bad, people in their 40s are resorting to going back to school instead of looking for work

    Jump

  • I totally get that.

    Public districts around here pay more than private and charter. As I live in the Chicago area, I have a wealth of districts I can go to beyond CPS (Chicago Public Schools) because the burbs are so close.

    Yes, pay is not great for all the things that teachers have to do and are responsible for, but I don’t care. My wife brings in the bacon these days anyway as she’s a tenured professor. I’ve dealt with corporate life for over 20 years, been through layoffs multiple times, tired of the stupid corporate lingo and being in marketing where I was basically a propagandist for brands, and I like having the same time off that my kid has.

  • America's affordability crisis is putting Aldi in the spotlight

    Jump

  • I legit like Clancy’s brand of chips or cookies over the major brands for some reason. Their take and bake pizzas are huge for the price! I know my wife tends to save on some meats and things when she shops at Aldi. I’m a fan as well.

  • Mother fucker has never been in a school before teaching kids who snap them, bite erasers off, and sharpen them to make the world’s tiniest writing utensil ever.

  • It could be, too, that their stores are getting picked over for the things they want. Perhaps it’s out of stock the second it comes in because others are just buying it up right away.

    Jump

  • I was in the midst of a career change that I instigated myself with the blessing and support of my wife. I was substitute teaching while trying to break into the tech field and found that I actually loved subbing! So much so that I am more than halfway done with a Master’s program for Elementary Education.

    There is a teacher shortage and I’m male, which is an underrepresented statistic in Elementary Ed, so I’m pretty confident I’ll land something. I’m taking a pay cut, but I enjoy the teaching and the positives it brings to children’s lives to have a good role model and someone that cares about them while being excited to explore new information.

  • Do any of you actually know someone who legitimately believes there's an actual "War on Christmas?"

    Jump

  • Cool, so Christmas isn’t a holiday? Then go back to work on this regular ass day, you fucking douchebags.

  • I would love to know the reasoning why they think they are persecuted. I legitimately cannot fathom how, in America, Christianity is persecuted.

  • Trump says broadcast licenses should be terminated if networks are "almost 100% Negative" about him

  • I use the Leaf, but yeah…same. So many free digital OTA channels.

  • Dude, you’re supposed to see a doctor after just a few hours.

  • So apparently full stops in texts are 'passive agressive' now. What other unwritten rules for texting have changed over the last couple of decades?

    Jump

  • Yes, you’re correct if we want to get technical.

    However, I have a difficult time believing that most people truly think that using sentence ending punctuation is default passive aggressive. If I wanted to, I could read “great.” and “great” both as passive aggressive. The default takeaway of a response shouldn’t be negative, it’s just an answer using a rule that indicates that I’ve stopped my reply.

    A good reader looks for context clues to decipher meaning. In the end, if one is unsure then just ask for clarification. Starting with a default negative view indicates to me that there is something deeper going on with that person.

  • Yes, you are correct. They are people and not things.

  • Nah. It’s not subjective. It’s the result of fucking imbeciles that don’t read.

    That was meant to be angry because taking correct punctuation as some sort of slight is stupid as shit.
