AtraMorS posted:It's an athletic team that competes regionally rather than along state borders. It's useful in sports that don't have reliable high school sports programs but that have a demand at the college level (things like diving/swimming or volleyball). They got a foothold as a way for athletes to get playing time/practice outside of normal high school schedules--I had a friend on a travel team in high school back in the 90s--and are now kind of a pipeline for sports that don't draw big crowds. It's the kind of thing you do in addition to high school, not part of it. Friends of our family have a daughter who’s in club water polo, and it sounds like a bottomless pit of drama, infighting, and stress. She claims to like it, but her parents are the “you’ve got to be doing something extracurricular” sort of people, so…

mystes posted:The probability distribution of a murder suicide occurring in a specific places makes no difference in terms of the expected probability of one occurring a second time given that one occurred to a first time compared to one occurring for the first time if two events of murder suicide are uncorrelated, and based on the central limit you can still get a normal distribution of the frequencies in that case, which is what I assume you actually mean by murder suicides being normally distributed. At least it was a murder suicide and not just a murder. No chance of the deranged killer coming back!

If they had bought the house together and OP knew his wife would be freaked out by it I can see her being annoyed at him if he found out and didn't tell her, but he had already been living in that house for a while when they met with no harm coming to him so it just seems completely silly even for a superstitious person. mystes fucked around with this message at 02:38 on May 8, 2024 |

litany of gulps posted:With the charter school movement sweeping the more abhorrent parts of the country, this is actually becoming a thing that you do in place of high school rather than in addition to high school. There are publicly funded schools popping up that are basically built completely around a specialized athletics/sports program. The kids do a couple of hours of individualized computer-based learning on some online platform like EdGenuity, then work out for the rest of the day and practice their sport with their classmates, which are all part of the sports team. There are no teachers, just coaches or a coach. (sports really can be fun. you can play them with your friends and enjoy yourselves.)

Mordiceius posted:Yeah, this is the poo poo that I can't loving stand. eh, if you are being scouted for D1 college sports then you are good enough to be part of a tiny fraction of high school students and giving up or limiting a lot of your social life is the tradeoff. this is a problem for a relatively small amount of kids, and a bunch of them are getting full or partial rides out of it I knew a guy who didn't make the Olympics, but he was good enough that he got into the training program for potential Olympic athletes, and according to him a bunch of Olympic competitors are full-blown weirdos because you kind of have to be a super obsessive weirdo fully dedicated to the singular goal of being good at your sport to get to the Olympics. It's a similar thing, though not on the same level.

I think sports are dumb but if the OP's kid is at that level I think it absolutely makes sense to do a little more to prioritize sports if it will result in college being free and not having college debt forever. It's not like she appears to hate doing it or want to quit, either. It seems like she just incorrectly assumed there would not be any consequences for missing the tournament which was probably dumb when she's playing at that level.

Counterpoint: Proms are also highly overrated and sports girl wouldn't have missed anything by not attending it. It's all the "joy" of getting to spend all evening with the same gaggle of acne-faced students you already spent all day with except now there's lovely music, bottom-of-the-barrel refreshments and you're all wearing uncomfortable suits and dresses.

Skill issue. Standard prom in my hometown was go, eat, dance, and then go party at the hotel that had hot tubs. They started all that lame after-prom poo poo a few years after I graduated. But I had some loving awesome times at prom. It might suck now, but it’s probably a function of do you enjoy dancing and being dressed up fancy. I did feel for the kids who went to my wife’s Mennonite high school. They weren’t allowed to dance at school functions so they had a banquet with no music, no dancing and definitely no getting drunk and high in hot tubs afterwards.

I hope r/electricians is fair game, because Using my own fleshlight at work quote:So I'm in the middle of a pretty heated debate with the owner of my non-union shop about using my fleshlight at work. I drive my own KUV to work (bought it when I ran another unrelated business, moved to electrical cause felt like it was a better long term move)... it's my daily driver, he reimburses me for gas/wear and tear by giving me a considerably higher wage, and in return use my vehicle like a company vehicle. now before go any further, know what you're probably thinking already, and yes, I do it at work. He says it's potentially a crime but during lunch break like to go in the back cab of my KUV and crank one out. It's my time and my vehicle and have the back windows Blacked out completely with blackout curtains. He said he will fire me if he catches me again but the first time he just barged in the back looking for his iPad (I was using it and he said he needed to take it back to the shop to update it or something) so that time really wasn't my fault. But being for real did have the iPad hooked up to my speakers in the back so maybe he heard the video playing idk.. The 2nd time admittedly was at the supply house and they were taking forever and so said gently caress it, then boom, here's Joe Schmo putting 3 boxes of poo poo in the back of my van and was caught red handed.... he knows the owner and called him and now he's threatening to fire me. I don't think it's fair that he is trying to tell me what to do in my own vehicle, technically on my own time. Everyone at the shop keeps making jokes and honestly thought it was at least kind of normal but guess not. My first journeyman told me that if you don't do it at work at least once then you aren't a real electrician and he spent alot of time in the Porta potty.

Won't be surprised by a follow up post five years from now when his relatives are saying racist poo poo about his kids.

Counter-counter point: But I like dancing with my friends and every occasion that calls for getting dressed and doing so isn't the same kind of dressing up and universally involves alcohol or is so formal you can't be awkward and goofy. I went to a bunch of proms so I definitely got my money's worth on my two dresses (neither one was over 50bux because I rock at finding good stuff). My favorite of the two was cool as hell and had this purple-blue-green shifting fabric stuff.

If you enjoy wearing pretty formal dresses and you're a teenager, prom is your only chance. Bridesmaid dresses do not count. I'm overall with the mom, though. You knew the rules, you took the chance, now take the consequences without asking Mom or Dad to fix it.

American Proms seem to be their own thing, but graduation dances and whatever seem to be pretty fun if you can tolerate your classmates and like an excuse to dress up neat and dance. Being a teenager is like being a little bit drunk all the time anyway. I'm guessing it's one of those things that's exponentially worse the more seriously it's taken.

Urge To Kill...Rising... AITA for flipping out on my MIL and husband for eating all the food before I had eaten? quote:Ever since I gave birth 4 months ago (so I have 4 kids total), my MIL has been showing up whenever she wants and when she's here, she always helps herself to whatever she wants. She has never offered to help me or the baby in any way, shape or form. She's basically here to see her son and that's it. Like, about 3 weeks ago I made a small pot of coffee (enough for 2 cups). I went to go nurse the baby while waiting and at some point my MIL shows up, let's herself inside. When I came out, she had drank the entire pot. I had no coffee grounds left. Or she's eaten my leftovers straight out of the fridge multiple times. And she's always like "thanks for the food/coffee!" As if I offered it to her when I absolutely didn't because all she's doing is making my life miserable. I told my husband to speak to her about it and he told me he did but I truly don't think so. I spoke up the last time she was here (3 weeks ago) and told her she needed to stop helping herself because she's eating and drinking stuff that I wanted and/or made for myself. She said "oh I'm sorry" and then stopped coming around for awhile.
