No, I don't think it will ever happen.

Yeah, I'm mostly interested in having my own biological children. I've helped raised a special needs cousin already, he turned 23 last week and has been at least partially in my care since I was 16. Currently helping do the same with a 9 year old cousin as well. There is a possibility of another relative giving up their kid as well, and I've been strongly considering adopting that kid if it's a possibility. So, I'm not against adoption or step kids... Just, I'd like one of my own too.

oh, do your parents have any grandchildren though?

..mess? have heard people say this about the star wars movies. Like the story contradicts itself. Like they were put in a whole because of bad plot points that were made in previous movies, so they kind of had no choice

I doubt that's quite as true these days.

With the direction this world is heading in, I doubt people are quite as eager to have grandkids.

idk a lot of people say this. But isn't the world much better than like the dark ages? the time of ww2? it's all relative

I had 3 good elementary school teachers out of like 8 (had a couple of mid year replacements from K-5).

Middle school was hell and if I had good teachers, I don't recall them because of the associated trauma.

High school was godsdamned amazing, and the teachers were the best of a very underappreciated bunch (though a public school, it was the only school in the district that you had to test into; you also had to maintain a 2.5 average to retain enrollment but that was never anywhere near an issue for must of us; my class's average GPA was like 3.2 for 114 students).

Undergraduate courses thoroughly sucked until junior year. I had one "transformative" instructor as a junior, and another as a senior. The rest during the last two years were largely sufficient, with a couple being pretty good.

So yeah, very mixed bag for the sum of it, but with the exception of my early university years, it was pretty alright from age 14 on.

yeah most guys say that middle school was the worst for them. But whey do middle schoolers seem to be the worst behaved?

Yes, I would absolutely love to have kids.

do you think it will ever happen , though? but , are you mostly interested in having your own biological children?

KogaSteelfang posted...

They want to say "Ha, now you know what WE went through!" But can't if you have a good kid. So they want to maximize their chances with more kids hoping one is stubborn and muleheaded so they can laugh at you.

i remember you koga. You don't think you'll ever have kids, you want to?

have you ever seen this, think it's true for many people? why would many of them, though?

I'd say 30% of them gave a shit.

The rest of them were either meh, or didn't give a crap at all. My History and Geography teachers were fantastic. Maths and English teachers were okay.

My Science teacher, absolutely fuck that guy. He is probably one of the sole reasons I disliked Science, and I used to love it until he became my teacher for 5 years in it. He seriously demotivated me and the rest of the class, constantly just copying shit off the board. Didn't do ANY practical work. The one time we were going to (Dissecting a frog), one kid swore and he used that an excuse to shut it down.

Again, fuck that guy, I sincerely hope he isn't teaching anymore, for the sake of other kids.

what grade was this in, the science class? supposedly the middle school yrs are like the worst. Do you not think all that highly of the teaching profession as a whole?

KogaSteelfang posted...

I'd say it was 50/50. A lot of my teachers seemed to actively care about the students, and helping them succeed. Those were the good ones who were always willing to put in extra effort to make sure everyone was where they needed to be.

The others... Felt more like they just liked the authority of being a teacher. If you don't keep up, you fail and it's your fault, and they'd absolutely call you out in it. They mostly felt unqualified to work a job that is intended to nurture and help people grow and learn. They were very strict, quick to punish, and any extra effort put in had to be from the students to win the affection of the teacher.

were these mostly below avg. school districts? i had some bad ones just like almost everybody. But , do you think more highly of teachers as whole than say, most police?

good? Were the majority of them, that you had. Many teachers and the profession as whole are maligned sometimes

Math is in a way a language. People who who never properly learn it have a really difficult time with it unless they put a lot of effort into it like seriously learning a foreign language. If I recall, people who are never taught math have a hard time understanding even the most basic math concepts such as counting beyond a few numbers.

yeah great post, it is kinda like learning a foreign language, lots of strange looking symbols too

Accolon posted...

For me, it's different with physical things that I can think of and interact with, and just a page of letters and numbers that are all abstract.

Just how my brain prefers to work I guess.

yeah good post, just a page of letters and numbers, and when do you actually use it? real world applications? calculus's importance in education is overrated

My parents were the opposite and brainwashed me with atheism

oh, you're extremely religious?

specialkid8 posted...

We went to church every sunday, except my dad, but stopped around middle school cause no one cared.

yeah supposedly men are less religious than women on avg. , wonder why?

like your parents were religious etc...?

i wouldnt mind owning one. same for The Sopranos...

never could get into the sopranos. though iirc alot of people liked it and it got huge ratings. There has never been a simpsons complete box set has there? iirc simpsons and seinfeld has never come out on blu ray

EthanSilver posted...

Yup. Don't have it on a box set though. Might rewatch on netflix or something, now that you've brought it up. Been awhile.

yeah i agree. smallville should have been as huge as seinfeld. Probably my favorite show ever, i dont' get it

EthanSilver posted...

You're a pleb/casual that's why. Now get!

Did you also like the tv show smalliville? i like that more than seinfeld

Sheiky-Baby posted...

The Opera is the episode I recommend any new Seinfeld viewer to watch

what season was that?

Shotgunnova posted...

Actually, I do have a few seasons on box set. I think a friend found 'em at a garage sale or something and gave 'em to me.

that's kinda worse, when you only have a few seasons. Cause then you're like , i'm reminded of that other episode that i don't have

The episode , The Library is a great episode especially considering it is one of the earlier episodes ,which a lot of 'em were not that good

the old tmnt cartoons that came out in like 1990? it was ok, nothing special

EthanSilver posted...

I do, got it a long time ago though.

On a shelf looking nice in the living room.

both of you posters, how much did you pay for seinfeld? paid like 55 for the one i have, box set

that's what i have. Or you have any other way to watch all the episodes

Not doing assloads of timed exclusives probably would have helped

so , then MS wouldn't have wanted to acquire activision?

any of you

no

activision acquisition?

not sure if these are still super common in new cars. I know that many hondas had them in like the 2000s or the 2010s. This is where if you're battery is disconnected then you must enter a code to get it to work again

One time it took me over 3 hours to get from Staten Island to Long Island coming home from a job site. 40 miles.

What if you have to poop though , when you're stuck in traffic?

You could get them with a heat sink for $10 extra. I got them naked, as motherboards have heat sinks anyway. I would imagine the PS5 has a heat sink. If something has a heat sink already, youd have to take the built-in heat sink off the drive for it to fit the other.

Pretty sure the PS5 has no heatsink

electricbugs2 posted...

Can confirm. I expected driving there to be hell, but it was honestly amazing. Grid setup means no old people getting lost and going 20 under.

What is grid layout anyway?

RISEofCHRISTIAN posted...

I been to both NYC and LA, and I'd give the edge to NYC as the worst bc they got more irresponsible aggressive drivers.

oh, really? way more aggressive? did not know this? prob a lot more cabbies in nyc too

i mostly use the flash drives to copy gameplay recording videos to them. i have a lot of them. iirc the ps5 does support saving game save data to a flash drive though. i think the ps5 does suport 3.0 and 3.1 flash drives, not sure though did those samsung prime day ssds come with a heat sink?

voldothegr8 posted...

LA hands down

how about in the world? any idea?

Turbam posted...

I'd assume New York

i heard that l.a. might be worse. cause they don't have a major subway system. Heck which city in the world has it the worst?
