Telling my parents

[RileyTheOtter]

Just take notes the good ol' fashioned way, with a pencil/pen and a piece of notebook paper. I still do that and I'm in college where they let us use laptops and such. Regardless of addiction or otherwise, you need to pay attention in class (Have I made it clear that I think school is important yet? I'm not sure I have ;v). Either way pencil/paper note taking will keep you from doing anything you probably shouldn't be doing in class (or at least you'll doodle and "listen").

Drawing while listening can still be an effective way to take notes for those who are artistically inclined. Often seeing the drawing will help them remember what was being discussed as they drew it, a lot like the rumor about specific flavors of gum while studying.

Damn straight school is important. I'm a teacher and I think the system in North America is pretty shitty for elementary and middle school. Huge reason why I prefer teaching in other countries

That would be a good idea if I ever knew what to draw, but oh well. Uf I ever figure out how to do cylinders I might finish that drawing of Can Town I have, but oh well.

I was joking a bit there. I draw during lectures a lot.

Addiction is addiction and it ruins your life regardless

Yep.

never would have guessed you were a teacher...

I highly suggest working on helping with addictions. Material addictions are a little easier to break luckily.

But medication addictions and dependance fucking suck and I'm talking from experience

I'm 40, Sergei. I think I might know a thing or two about addiction. Obsession and addiction are different monsters entirely.

Dad was the wolf. Mom was the cat. I mean, I have swim going in in December, so it might take all my convincing skills, but they might. That is, if I ever tell dad. But let's not panic about that. I did what I wanted to do, and that's enough for now.

So your mom finally found the courage to tell you what she was, but your dad is still afraid to tell you what he was?
So the world was upside down all along?

(joking) Glad you found your courage, and great to see you relaxed about it.

Nah. Mom told me that after I told her. Really dad being the wolf doesn't surprise me. He absolutely loves them. Not wolfaboo territory, but he still really likes them.

Also I don't think dad actually knows what weeaboos are. That and it was a long time before they found out about furries when dad did that stuff.

Yeah lol.

Student: "Can you help me please? I don't understand why I got this question wrong."

Sergei: "You wouldn't have that problem if you listened to me!"

Student: "Please? I'm just not getting it. Could you explain it again?"

Sergei: "I wouldn't have to tell you if just listened the first damn time....You should have done what I told you to do!"

Student: "Just one more time? I'll listen!"

Sergei: "Go fuck yourself Jimmy"

No, I didn't go searching for this, it just showed up on the youtube homepage as a suggestion for some reason. I've never even watched stuff from the guy who made it. :\
That said, I think it actually ties into the discussion that sparked this thread and the drama surrounding it. Mostly, though, it reinforces a bunch of the points already made.

We're people too ya know. Some of my co-workers loved to get stone drunk on weekends. I just enjoy shitposting

I've been through addiction my friendo and he's beyond obsession at this point

Yeah lol.

I don't think you understand how many times I've wanted to tell some of the students this. I've only taught in North America for a couple of years and it fucking sucks for both teachers and students. You can't tell a student "well if Bobby is picking on you then punch him square in the jaw"

You've gotta tell them to report it and administration can't really do jack shit about it, nor will their parents usually. Parents in general are a whole other bloody story in North America though but holy fuck. I much preferred teaching overseas

Last time someone tried bullying me or someone in front of me, (my junior year of high school) I told them "If I see or hear you do it again, I'll cut your eye out with a plastic spoon." and guess what? he never did it again.

Getting that detailed is usually a one way ticket to therapy

that implies he ever told anyone about it. (he was harassing a member of the senior class/rape victim about her own rape) he never bullied anyone again until after I graduated. And that's not even close to detailed...a cookie dough scoop works best...i mean hypothetically speaking.

And even to this day I still don't understand how people can say that homosexuals deserve extra privileges just for being gay while saying that people who cosplay as anthros are satanic.

Um no. Gay people don't deserve extra privileges. They deserve EQUAL privileges.

Also how the fuck did this relate to what I said.

Really I have no honest idea what you were trying to say with that comic.

 

[FoxInTheCloset]

It was ironic to your situation. It was backwards i guess.
