Pet Peeve rants.

Two days ago I couldn't help myself and blurted out, in counter to the word 'natural', "Arsenic is natural!"

I saw a post about a week ago decrying Pasteurizing milk as killing the natural beneficial nutrients that would magically heal all that ails you. I just...STOP IGNORING 150 YEARS OF SCIENCE JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET IT.

I also enjoy the idea that Pasteurizing - heating and cooling - is somehow 'unnatural'. It's fucking temperature.

 

[Cajungal]

Like and share if you agree? Yeah, I roll my eyes at that crap too.

If you don't, you hate Jesus/America/the poor/cute babies.

 

[Krisken]

Sometimes, all of those at once.

Learn your students' names. It matters. If you mispronounce their name every day, they notice. The youngest sibling now mispronounces his last name and corrects his parents about it. That should not happen. Learn your students' names. Sound it the fuck out. IT SOUNDS EXACTLY HOW IT LOOKS! We're teachers, for God's sake.

I used to love having teachers who insisted I pronounced my last name wrong. It didn't sound the way it looked (you know, a French name with 5 letters that you don't exactly pronounce), but at the same time I think I knew how to say my own last name by the time I was 9 or 10. It was no fun correcting the teacher and then getting told I was being rude.

I had a very German last name that no one could ever pronounce or spell, until I had a German chem teacher who took great joy in pronouncing it as gutterally as possible.

 

[Krisken]

My last name was always pronounced wrong. Everyone would pronounce it with a long A sound (Paasch). However, it's pronounced more like "posh".

I guessed right! *victory lap*

Victory lap? I was way off.

Ya know, every telemarketer who has ever called my home has referred to me as "Ms. Boo-drex" or "Ms. Bow-drax."

 

[Piotyr]

I've had telemarketers who just don't even try to pronounce my last name. One even started the conversation "Can I speak to Mr. B....yeah, I have no idea, so let's just stick with B."

Natural is not a synonym for healthy, and every ingredient you've never heard of in a drug or food is not a toxin, and will not poison you. This is why we have an FDA.

...and even the ones that will poison you might actually be good for you if taken in small enough doses.

[Tress]

Many of my students call me Mr. B, because my last name is very German and they almost always mispronounce it. They just gave up and went with the first letter.

Are you seriously a Thibodeaux?! There are jokes written about us!

 

[Krisken]

I'm more impressed his first name is "Rad"! I'm pissed I got stuck with a boring name like "Brian"

 

[Tress]

I think you're rad @Krisken.

 

[Krisken]

I think you're a cool frood too, @Tress

 

[drifter]

 

[Krisken]

Don't be jealous, @drifter, you're a cool frood too.

 

[drawn_inward]

Sorry to disappoint.

I share the same name as the creator of Garfield. No. I mean.

I did go to school with a guy whose initials were R.A.D. and of course that's what we called him. Though, I don't think he really earned that moniker.

 

[sixpackshaker]

I have two nephews who's initials are S.A.M. their grand dad's first name. And a niece B.A.M.

 

[Krisken]

I just don't know what to believe anymore.

Believe in yourself, Brian.

Believe in the me, that believes in you!

I'll send you some Winter.

 

[sixpackshaker]

I'll send you some Winter.

Thanks I think it just arrived. It was in the mid 70's when I went to bed, it is 44 and rainy now.

That's not Winter. That's just winter with a small "w". Call me when it dips below freezing.

It ain't Winter if the wights ain't walkin'.

In my neighborhood, wights walking alone could be in some trouble.
