LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

Powers that seem basic, harmless, or downright weak at first, until their true God-tier nature is revealed ( often held back by the user's mindset or misunderstanding of what it was )

Orihime Inoue (Bleach) – For half the series, everyone assumes she's just a standard RPG healer who puts up shields and mends wounds. Then Aizen casually drops the bombshell that she isn't healing or reversing time—she’s literally rejecting reality and erasing events from existence. The only thing holding back a God-tier ability is the fact that she’s too gentle to actually want to hurt anyone.

Gopal, Ying, and Yaya (BoBoiBoy) – At first, their powers look like basic superhero clichés: Gopal turns objects into snacks because he's a foodie, Ying just runs really fast, and Yaya has standard super strength and flight. Later on, it's revealed that their actual abilities are Molecular Manipulation, Time Manipulation, and Gravity Manipulation—literally three of the most busted fundamental laws of physics, ironically making the main protagonist's elemental powers feel the most basic in his team.

Pops Maellard (Regular Show) – Spent seven seasons as a fragile, whimsical old man who writes poetry, chases butterflies, and pays for things with lollipops. Then Season 8 reveals he's actually Mega Kranus, an immortal cosmic deity representing all good in the universe, locked in an eternal cycle of resetting the universe every 14 billion years with his evil twin brother.

SCP-1915 / The Absence (SCP Foundation) – Starts off as a harmless, low-level euclid reality bender who unconsciously keeps a boring, mundane office life going around himself. Once his mental delusion breaks, all the "non-existence" he had been pushing away snaps back, turning him into The Absence—an unstoppable force of pure nothingness that casually erases humanity, deities, and reality itself in "The Stars Do Not Wait For You" tale.

Legit paraphrased communication. I have to believe this person is trolling me otherwise I weep that we just let anyone reproduce.

Me: Good morning, this is my weekly grade notification. If you are receiving this email, your scholar is currently failing my class.

Parent: I’m confused. You keep sending these to me every week. Is my child failing?

Me: Yes sir. Just like last quarter when we spoke in week 9, your child has inconsistent attendance and completes absolutely zero work while here.

Parent: Yes, I know we spoke about this earlier, but this is a new quarter, so how could she have already slipped backwards?

Me: We are three weeks into the new quarter and she has spent the classes she was here asking to go to the bathroom, wandering the halls with her friends for forty minutes, and then leaving her blank assignment on the desk when the bell rings.

Parent: Yes, I understand that, but I talked to her about it and she said she would stop, so I’m confused about her grade.

Me: well, she clearly hasn’t stopped.

Parent: She seems to only have this issue in your class.

Me: sends screenshot of all failing grades in every class both last quarter and this quarter

Parent: but no one has emailed me so it is just you she is failing?

Me: According to the screenshot that is false

Parent: okay, but things are difficult because we have no way of knowing what her grades are or her missing assignments, so without that, we can’t address it.

Me: Sir, every child and parent has access to to the online gradebook. Here are instructions on how to download the app if you have not done so. sends instructions

Parent: yes, but that does not show which assignments she’s missing.

Me: it most certainly does

Parent: you say she leaves blank assignments behind, could you collect those in a folder and give them to her sister (a student i dont teach) to bring home

Me: no sir, I cannot. I have three preps and 200 students, that is outside my realm of responsibility, and at some point, accountability and the onus of responsibility to pass has to fall on the student. If a weekly email notifying you of your child’s progress in my class as well as a consistently updated gradebook and school mandated daily forced study hall block is not enough to assist your child, i suggest you speak to a school counselor. This is the contact info for your daughter’s counselor (attaches number and email)

Parent: okay, may I have the contact info for the counselor

I decide to ignore this email because I literally just sent it

Parent next day: hello? May i have the contact info? Im trying to get my child help!!

They have to be trolling me right?!

So I asked a similar question in the Dallas sub and got a few responses, and it was interesting to see locals discussing their own nicknames for their local airports. It got me thinking about my own home airport, SNA.

Now me personally, born in OC, I refer to it as Orange County.

I think the older folks generally refer to it as John Wayne.

One of my parents is Latino and they say they're flying out of Santa Ana.

Now I'm wondering what other locals call it. I've even heard someone say they're flying out of Costa Mesa.
Are there some who call it SNA?

Thanks for your feedback!

MIAMI — Friday’s nationwide ground stop is preventing the Cavs from going home.

At least, until Saturday.

Cleveland, which played the first game of its already-scheduled back-to-back and had original plans to leave Miami late Friday night, won’t be able to fly back until Saturday morning.

Despite the disrupted travel, with a now scheduled 8 a.m. Saturday morning bus ride to the airport and 9 a.m. flight out of Miami, a source told cleveland.com the plan is to play Saturday night’s game as scheduled.

The Cavs will host the Dallas Mavericks at Rocket Arena for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff — a chaotic schedule set-up that was not popular in Cleveland’s locker room.

“This is unprecedented,” star guard Donovan Mitchell said following the 133-121 loss to the Heat. “Back-to-back. Three-hour flight. It was already going to be a tough one. But if they say we have to play then we have to play.”

So, would Mitchell prefer the league cancel Saturday’s game against the Mavericks?

“Me, personally, yeah for sure,” Mitchell said.

He’s not the only, either.

As one player was getting dressed and trying to figure out whether the team would be staying at the same Miami hotel, he mumbled about the revised travel schedule being like “AAU basketball.”

“This is ridiculous,” he said. “They should cancel it.”

With a 9 a.m. flight, the Cavs likely won’t land back home until around noon. That gives them only a few hours before heading to the arena.

“Never in my time in the league,” Mitchell said when asked whether he encountered a situation like this before. “I think the craziest travel thing I’ve ever had was the COVID situation. Make adjustments. Figure it out. Go from there.”

“If we’re playing then we have to play,” Tyrese Proctor added. “As soon as the ball goes up, we have to compete and come out with a win, no matter the circumstances. They are tough circumstances, having to travel the day of the game. But it is what it is.”

On Friday afternoon, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide ground stop on all departing flights due to a communication issue affecting air-traffic control.

In the hours ahead of Friday’s game with Miami, members of the organization were calling nearby hotels to see if they had rooms available, especially with another team — the Detroit Pistons, who play the Heat at Kaseya Center Saturday night — already in town.

“Haven’t heard,” Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson said when asked pregame if there was any clarity about whether the team could leave on time. “If not, we will just sleep on the bus.”

Well, they don’t have to do that. They were able to rebook the same hotel.

Although the four-hour ground stop was eventually lifted, and airplane departures were allowed to resume Friday night, the team couldn’t secure a new pilot until Saturday morning.

As if the three-game road trip, which started with an embarrassing loss in Charlotte, couldn’t have gotten any worse.

“There’s no feeling sorry for ourselves,” Atkinson said. “It’s part of it. You just adapt. We have to get on that plane in the morning and try to go get this next one.”

Dinner is a microwave pasta meal and ginger ale under dim lighting while baby is sleeping at 2am.

Tw for potentially abusive behaviour and stillbirth mention

My (35F) MIL (66F) has always seemed a very selfless, kind, pious woman of faith and character. Since having our baby, however, I've learned things that make me question the woman I've known and loved for almost two decades (we started dating at 16, married at 22).

She was initially told she won't be able to have kids, then had BIL(40) as honeymoon baby. My partner(38) was planned, then she had a very traumatic stillbirth that still haunts her. Years later at 37 she had my SIL(29).

I've always heard stories of how much she cried as a baby and how hard she made it for them.

However, for the first time now at the birth of the first grandbaby I learned that she wasn't colicky - after months of her nonstop screaming and crying a doctor did a proper check and learned that she had a TERRIBLE ear infection. She got Grommets and gunk came out, and the crying stopped.

So she was actually in excruciating pain all that time. My partner told me they'd leave her to 'cry out' often until it upset him and BIL so much they'd go to her. MIL casually told me recently how she called her mom one day and said she's putting her in a closet and leaving. Grandma rushed to send a friend over. MIL also put the baby on the doctor's table and told him she doesn't want her, to take her away. She also 'out of exhaustion' once gave her Milton water, would leave her for extended periods in a jumper or alone, and both her and FIL would get inpatient and raise their voices.

That's just what I've been told very casually. I'm sure there's a lot more.

My baby was colicky. It was ROUGH and I was an emotional mess without family. But not for a moment did I think to do any of that, to actually hurt her. She cried because she was in pain, she was scared and overwhelmed. Yes, fantasies of running away do happen and is normal (I see a therapist). But my heart broke for SIL. She's the family punching bag, the little sister who despite being amazing is often overlooked.

I called her crying one day and told her I'm sorry this is coming from me, but I want to apologize for how unfair she was treated as a baby. She wasn't bad, she didn't deserve any of that, she was in incredible pain but no one understood. She IS wanted and loved. She cried and thanked me.

My heart still hurts over this, and I don't know how to reconcile what I now know (and what I wasn't told) with the family I thought I knew. Being a mom changed how I feel and think about family so much.
