The EDPT was the hardest test of my LIFE.

How could anyone possibly get above an 80 on that test. Just everything was so difficult and 90 minutes felt like no time. I studied so hard as well. Just uuhhhhhhhh 🫠🫠🫠

​Roses are blue, wires are red. Skip SpaceX and buy this instead. This stock will blow you and your bank account straight to Mars. THIS is the next Google.

A market cap of FOUR BILLION... sitting at less than 20 bucks a share.

Redwire (RDW) has already ingratiated themselves into the entire market. They have million dollar contracts with the Pentagon, Nasa, the marine corps, Ukraine, even SpaceX themselves.

These guys NEED Redwire for critical defense and space infrastructure, and the multi million dollar backlog of 500+ million proves it.

You are getting all this growth and market domination that hasn't even been fully priced in yet, there is not a single company on earth better placed to 100x in the space sector than Redwire.

​I literally cry tears of joy thinking about this stock. It is not a matter of "if" it goes parabolic, but "when."

The next Nvidia is RIGHT here. You just don't see it yet.

Redwire (RDW) is in the prime position right now to make a parabolic move. Sitting at only 18 bucks a share, it's a steal of a deal.

- NO DEBT. Sitting on a healthy cash flow of over 140 million.

- ALREADY PARTNERED WITH SPACEX. This stock, sitting under 20 bucks a share is partnered with the biggest, most lucrative IPO in the history of the stock market. But although it's partnered with SpaceX, they still have other contracts with parties such as Nasa and the pentagon, these guys are deeply engrained in the market.

People are gonna see this post and find every non-existent reason to nitpick, then they'll come back and be surprised to see it up 100%.

Don't follow the crowd. The easy money for SpaceX has been made already. Private investors have placed in obscene amounts of money, and are waiting for you to buy so they can sell for as much as possible. The real money is still being dug up.

Obviously not financial advice, and do your own research, but this stock is one worth believing in.​

Feels like this sub has devolved into a teacher complaining circlejerking group.

Been a teacher for 2 decades and a longtime lurker of this sub.

I feel like the quality of actual, thought-provoking discussion has degraded into nothingness, it's just people complaining about how the system is 'broken' and how bad the current students are.

You rarely see posts on strategies employed to help struggling students or to make learning more engaging, it's just always an echo chamber of endless complaints towards students.

Yes, most of these problems lie in our systems. Yes, many of these problems would be resolved if parents would actually be parents.

But it's our responsibility as teachers to do our best to uplift students, not act like it's a futile fight.

A truly good teacher can make a world of a difference in the lives of each student, irregardless of external or internal circumstances.

I know that's not always a popular thing to say. Some students will never meet us halfway. Some circumstances are genuinely heartbreaking. Some days feel impossible.

But if we've reached the point where we view every student as a problem and every challenge as evidence that education is doomed, then we've lost sight of why most of us entered this profession in the first place.

Teaching has never been about working with ideal students in ideal conditions. It's about finding ways to help real students grow despite imperfect conditions. That's difficult work, and it deserves space to be discussed just as much as the frustrations.

I'd love to see more conversations here about what is actually working. The lessons that unexpectedly clicked. The interventions that helped a struggling student turn things around. The relationships that made a difference. Because while the system may be broken in many ways, the impact an individual teacher can have on a student's life is still very real.

If this profession is worth fighting for, then our students are worth believing in.

A lot of people forget Ohma would've really been knocked out if this was a Kengan Match.

Purgatory having a down rule really cost Rolon the dub here and a lot of Ohma glazers won't admit it.

It's literally like the Jurota v. Masaki fight where the rules prevented Jurota from rlly going all out, if not for the knockdown rule, Rolon could've easily won by KO or Submission.

A huge part of Silat is grappling, and not being able to do that when someone is downed is a HUGE nerf. ​

Ohma 'winning' against watered down Rolon is not a good feat. Purgatory Rolon is only an A tier at best.

Disrespect Gaolang has been getting is crazy.

I've been seeing posts like 'Joji can beat Gaolang' or 'could current Gaolang clear the KAT' 💀.

Gaolang DESTROYED the S-Tier who beat Kanoh, and he was the only one to do it in a competition with no rules thus far.

All of Jurota's former losses come in Purgatory where it's constantly reiterated that the rules hold him back substantially.

People don't understand that canceling out Pre-initiative is good enough to beat 99.99% of the verse. To have Gaolang anything below the S-tier, or to call him a 'gatekeeper' is just hating.

What is the the greatest feat that nobody talks about?

Kanoh beat THREE S-tiers in a row with no rest, won the most difficult, arduous tournament in the history of Kengan, and yet people still glaze other fighters who have no feats, beat no S-tiers, and get hyped up by statements.

Kanoh is Top 4 in verse.

Looking back, how exactly did the Implicit Maze "choose" the Guild Champions?

I’m re-reading old Ravnica lore and the Dragon's Maze arc. The Maze was Azor’s literal fail-safe for the Guildpact, but the selection of the champions always felt wildly inconsistent from a lore perspective. You have elite, high-ranking figures like Teysa Karlov (Orzhov) and Lavinia (Azorius), but then the maze seemingly random-selects a relative nobody like Emmara Tandris (Selesnya) or an unstable experiment like Melek (Izzet). What was the actual criteria of the Maze? Was it testing the guilds' ideals, or was it actively manipulating Ravrican politics?

Is there anyone other than Karn who can survive this?

Feel like this is the greatest durability feat in the history of MTG and everyone just ignores it.

People also forget Karn survived being compleated too. In terms of durability he's Def top 3 in the verse. ​

Every single time we tried to talk there was some old guy who told us to quiet down because everyone was working.

How tf are we supposed to make friends if these guys keep being extra and preventing us from talking?

I got my social, wallet, ID, everything in a bag in the hotel and I have to trust that I'm not paired with some schizo who can steal everything I need. It makes no sense we just get paired with a random dude.

My roommate was taking a shit for 50+ mins and I couldn't even get in the shared bathroom.

Make having a roommate optional.

I had to wait in line to get my physical, and when I got seen the doctor saw my fucking ear and said it was too clogged.

So I had to get my ears cleaned, go into another line, wait 45 minutes, and retake the hearing test.

It's so stupid. Why wouldn't they just check ur ears before the actual exam?
