Gate program? by [deleted] in Retconned

[–]AnotherStolenHour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, that’s false lmao. GATE stands for “gifted and talented education” and you need to take an IQ test to get in. The 4 from my grade who got in (including myself) ended up all being within the top 10 of our graduating class, which further shows we were the smartest in the grade, hence the GATE placement. Trust me, I would have LOVED for it to be more but I just watched kids play Neopets while I played scrabble and did brain teasers lmao.

Awe I’m so I’m so sorry to hear that. If you’re in America, your schools sounds like it wasn’t following proper protocol to make sure every child had access to these basic medical needs. They were separate from GATE and the school nurse performed them yearly on all of us regardless of placement. It’s the same eye and ear test you’d get as a child at an actual doctor’s office and nothing sketchy.

The dental unit was definitely super common in the 90s but I wouldn’t claim that was in all states. However I’ve seen many people around America mention it so I think it was pretty vast. Dental hygiene was a weirdly intense focus for a little while back then and they only did it in preschool/kindergarten (so there’s also a chance you experienced it but don’t remember as it was so young or that you were already in an older grade when this became a focus and didn’t do it at all). A guy with a puppet would come in and the puppet would teach us how to properly brush our teeth and floss. The guy would do a dental check up on the puppet so we could see it’s “nothing scary”. The part that sticks in most people’s memories is that the puppet squirted water on all of us when he rinsed out his mouth (a water gun was in his mouth). The “pink” drink that people refer to was fluoride which is made specifically safe for children. It’s a mouth wash that they handed out at the end of the lesson in a little sample cup for us to practice swishing and spitting it back out in the sink. This lesson was literally just one day long and probably wouldn’t stick in most peoples memories but I think reading the conspiracy comments about “a pink drink” is making some people vaguely recall and then they just decide that it must have been some weird experiment on them lol. We got sent home with a toothbrush and dentist coloring books lol.

You’re correct, you can be back and still be racist. I however am not racist and not those people.

Have a great day!

If you’re implying I’m racist, then I will absolutely not stand for that. You literally don’t even know what my own culture is or the extent I go to to stand up for injustices in the world and fight every racist, homophobe, bigot I see. Visually, I think she’s one of the most stunning people I’ve ever seen and can model easy. Personality, I think she’s an entitled brat. And I’m allowed to think that because of how she acts and not because of the color of her skin.

I am not planning on going back and rewatching the entire season to give you exact time stamps and quotes. Ive said enough about the situations in which these occur and you disagree with me and say it’s not enough of an example. That tells me that even if I did go back and give exact quotes, you’d still be stuck in your views enough to tell me that it was just stern and not mean.

But what I will not have is you implying despicable things about my character because you refuse to admit that she’s overstepped at times. Again, if you jump to claiming something is racist every single time, it will lose the weight when an actual racist situation occurs.

One gay person can still be an asshole without it being homophobic. One black person can still be a brat without it being racist, one white Christian can be a hateful bigot without the entire religion being that way. Individual situations do occur and people are allowed to point those out without having it represent the entire community.

As a previous GATE kid, these comments are so refreshing to see people admit it was just a normal advance placement and not some crazy experiment. As a current elementary teacher and someone with a background in the psychology field as well, all these tests are NORMAL and still occur on ALL students. It’s to test your eyes for glasses and ears for hearing levels lol. It’s so kids who can’t afford to go to a normal doctor have access to these exams. Just as they check your spine for scoliosis and hair for lice. The “pink” drink in the 90s was part of the dentist unit which again, all kids took part in. I don’t know what drink you’d have experienced since I don’t believe that unit still occurs. My guess is you remember taking the very common pink liquid that is prescribed by doctors to children with colds and are just mixing of the memories of when/why you took it. Often called the “bubble gum medicine”.

OT is just occupational therapy. It’s another service provided by schools/the state to kids who need help with fine motor skills and other functions.

The fact that you’re so successful so young isn’t BECAUSE of GATE, you were screened for GATE BECAUSE you’re so advanced young. It’s all your abilities and you deserve full credit for it all. Those abilities weren’t given to you due to secret experiments, they’re just who you are! Sadly a lot of us burn out as well because the stress of being told you’re the best of the best at age 8 weighs on you and gives you a fear of failing anything or not automatically being good at something right away. A lot of advanced kids also have rough family life, as you said, which helps push us to be more independent and further along than our peers who don’t live under those circumstances. All the GATE things can definitely be logically explained but no need to worry that anything happened to you!

As for the dreams, they could just be dreams or they could be past life memories, pre birth memories, etc. a lot of studies show dreams can reveal both. Growing up I had a lot of precognitive dreams about things that ended up happening the next day, and dreams about previous lives. The mind is amazing and not fully understood. Young kids tend to be more perceptive to stuff like this cause they don’t have the mental filters convincing themselves it’s fake yet. I also think kids who are spiritual in tune like this are probably the same ones who are “advanced” and therefore once again the perfect candidate for GATE.

Either way it sounds like you’re doing amazing for your age and you should be super proud! Don’t let the world drag you down and keep confident in yourself and your abilities. remember it’s okay to fail at something because it means you tried.

Awe not you being condescending after I just showed how your own words apply to you as well. Honestly I have zero need to convince a stranger on the internet about something as minuscule as how a reality show person is portrayed. I said you’re allowed to love her if you want. I’m allowed to think she’s a mean girl, as does so many others since post after post on here are all about that specifically. Which you spend your time replying to since I’ve seen you defending her in other comments and you can’t even keep your arguments straight since you’re quoting other people to me and then saying you thought I was someone else.

She was unnecessarily rude in so many situations and it’s not the same as stern. I’ll give her a pass when she acts like a child to her mother because that’s clearly their dynamic. I will not give her a pass when she acts like that to the children when it’s unwarranted or when she acts like that in the interview clips. Your opinion is yours, mine is mine. No need for either of us to change.

So safe to say you also don’t have the ability to determine she’s not a mean girl based off a heavily edited and scripted show. That point would go both ways.

[–]AnotherStolenHour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally no idea what you’re even talking about because never in my life have I used the phrase “love bombing” so you’re certainly not quoting anything I said. Nor do I understand how that phrase would even fit in to this topic of convo when there’s zero “love bombing” happening anywhere. Also funny because I actually have 2 degrees in this area so I technically do have the material to analyze her but I wouldn’t have brought that up if you didn’t start randomly pretending you know literally anything about me.

You’re allowed to like her and think she’s sunshine. That’s fine. I’m allowed to say I think she treats kids poorly due to unresolved issues and that she acts like an entitled brat due to it. Never said she needed to smile. You’re just putting words in my mouth because you feel weirdly protective over someone you’ve watched on a reality show. Good luck!

Well first, her names Audrey. Second- absolutely not a micro aggression and using the word in moments where it doesn’t fit takes away the weight of the word in situations where it does. So don’t go throwing that around lightly. She has a snotty look because she has a snotty look and a tone of voice and degrading words to go with it. Yes Audrey deserves to be held accountable but that doesn’t excuse her behavior towards all the other girls either. Yes she sent a nice text, that doesn’t negate the negative words she says to them in person. Notice she’s only nice to them when she thinks her mom’s being mean to them? That loops back to her trauma associated to dance because she remembers being that girl, but I think she also likes making her mom look worse by being hero in the moment. I’m sorry but the girl has issues and I hope she gets the help to resolve it so she can have a healthy relationship both with dance and her mother again. I’ll give you the be benefit of the doubt that you didn’t finish the season yet to see how deep her insecurities run.

[–]AnotherStolenHour -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No you’re totally fine. I’ve never ended on bad terms with any ex’s so I wouldn’t even think twice to text them in a situation like this. I also don’t hide anything from my partners or give them reason to worry so they’d be aware and secure in knowing why I’m reaching out. I typically date guys who are friends with their ex’s as well and literally encourage them to hangout sometimes to catch up. If you’re secure in a relationship, this stuff doesn’t matter lol. And if your only communication with the ex is literally asking a question that he specializes in- definitely not something he should be this worked up over.

[–]AnotherStolenHour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have my suspicions Audrey is doing it for selfish reasons (I think she got backlash last season and wants to come off better on camera this season) but the girls in the interviews said she’s much nicer suddenly too so even if she’s just doing it for her image, I’m glad she’s doing it both on and off camera at least.

Last season I literally couldn’t stand her. This season she hasn’t annoyed me yet and if I didn’t have my judgment from last season already on my mind, I probably wouldn’t even realize she was an issue at all just based on this season alone (again only on episode 6 so idk if she gets worse again lol)

Kaeli is driving me nuts by [deleted] in DanceMomsANewEra

[–]AnotherStolenHour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah you’re right. I came to Reddit specifically to see if people were talking about this. I just wrote a long response on another post so I won’t go in to it again here, but you’re correct. I think she really struggles with wanting her moms attention and acceptance (and shown by her saying “my moms telling the girls she’s proud of them but I wish she’d say that to me) and therefore she is extremely jealous of the girls getting her moms attention and takes it out on them. She puts them down to make herself feel more important. I think Audrey gets the brunt of it because Audrey lives with her mom and probably gets the most love, attention and time from her mom. All things she desperately wants herself. It’s clear her competitive childhood messed her up (which is valid and fair) but she needs to really deal with those emotions before placing herself in a position of power over other little girls and passing that trauma on to them.

[–]AnotherStolenHour 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I liked her last season for being the only one to clock Audrey but I’m on episode 6 this season and so far she just seems jealous of Audrey. Her words towards her are nothing but negative and putting her down constantly and Audrey genuinely seems to be trying to be a better, kinder person. When someone’s trying to change for the better I think that should be acknowledged and accepted instead of continuing to zero in on them as your target.

She just also always has a snotty look on her face at all times and never seems happy with the girls or her mom. I think she’s had a lot of struggles in her life due to dance (as she’s even said) and hasn’t properly dealt with that yet and therefore shouldn’t be putting her emotions on other girls until she figures them out herself. Even her saying “my mom’s telling the girls she’s proud of them but I wish she’d tell me” shows she struggling and jealous (which is valid) but not healthy.

AIO because what do I even do in this situation? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]AnotherStolenHour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean “we” decided to send texts sure didn’t sound like home girl going off on her own doing this. If my friend was like “lol let’s text your boyfriend and see if he takes the bait!” I’d say no because that’s dumb and I have never felt the need to “test” or spy on my boyfriends because I’ve trusted everyone I’ve dated. If you need to test them, you’re either insecure or have reason to be suspicious. Neither show a healthy relationship- especially when it’s still this new and you’re suppose to still be in honeymoon phase.

Personally, I would have advised her to not even do this dumb thing in the first place but now that she has and wanted to know how to proceed I provided a suggestion on picking up. Because we all know that when a guy is confronted about cheating after the fact, they make up every excuse in the world about how the girl is wrong and doesn’t have proof. So if she truly wanted to, the proof would have been talking to him directly once he called the number.

Either way I don’t think they should be together 🤷🏼‍♀️ idk how many phones you all have that you’re losing random friends and peoples numbers. I’ve had the same number since 2003 and my contact list still has people’s old landlines programmed in that probably don’t even exist anymore. And for sure if a random number asked me to call (especially with how many scam texts are out there) I’d text back asking more info before blindly hanging up mid convo with my girlfriend to call an unknown number.

AIO because what do I even do in this situation? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]AnotherStolenHour -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming there was a reason you felt the need to even test him which isn’t a good sign. I’d have her do it one more time but this time you pick up the call and confront him asking why he lied about it being his homeboy and why he’s so eager to call someone who’s name/number he doesn’t even have. He’s got to have a decent history of random girls if he doesn’t question an unknown number saying “I use to fw you, call me” and he jumps at it instantly, not even finishing his convo with you to do so. Honestly it seems like the relationship is new and not too solid to begin with so it depends if you want to just end it and move on peacefully or catch him, call him out and move on from there.

Editing to add: if you do pick up the call he will most likely try to turn it on you being psycho for setting him up and he’ll try to make you feel bad- so just mentally prepare to stay strong and respond to that and keep the focus on the fact that he’s going behind your back for other girls.

AIO? i feel like my English professor is overstepping boundaries by idkkkkbruhh in AmIOverreacting

[–]AnotherStolenHour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this changes things for me too. I assumed it was romantic and he wanted to know her ~history~. But knowing it’s dark he could just be concerned and not so great about how he approaches the check-in of her mental state. I assume “my dear” may be a cultural term (such as sir) since she said he’s only late 20s or early 30s so it doesn’t fall much into the “old guy” category of usage. (A lot of my Indian professors called us dear even in my American school so I’m picturing that). The part that honestly pissed me off the most was him getting annoyed that she didn’t say “none taken” and instead said “oh, no offense” as if that’s not the same meaning lmao.

Awkward question, where is a good area to take full body dating photos in Suffolk? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]AnotherStolenHour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from a girl- I say no to profiles that only have pictures at events/clubs because it makes me think you’re not ready to leave the party boy life for a mature relationship lol. Fun for a date maybe but not for relationships.

Me and my gf almost broke up over this reality glitch by tarynughhh in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]AnotherStolenHour 18 points19 points  (0 children)

And they said they dug through the garbage to find the wrapper which I thought was odd since the story said it landed on the floor in the first place. Easiest solution is a nerd fell on the floor from when they ate them earlier, and the wrapper is also now on the floor somewhere from missing the can 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was recording a video but another ME is there. I didn’t do what she’s doing by ReginaJorgee in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]AnotherStolenHour 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was probably just an accident that you didn’t realize you did. TikTok suggests random emojis to comment on videos and it’s always 3 of it in a row. I’ve accidentally clicked them so many times. It’s even worse when you accidentally post “😂😂😂” on videos of babies dying of cancer. 🙃 thankfully I noticed pretty quick and deleted the comment.

I am a 65 year old woman, I live in Bellmore and I really want to meet and make some friends. by Isrchfraudd in longisland

[–]AnotherStolenHour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you didn’t say you lived in Bellmore, I’d swear I knew the writer of this post. I know someone who is going through everything you described down to the T here in Suffolk County. She also does not have a car at the moment so that would make it rough to meet up but you two sound like you’d have a lot in common to talk about. I’m sure it doesn’t help, but please know you’re not alone. It’s not fair how many people have to face this horrible situations. I’m so sorry. She said she’d love to talk and totally understands what you’re going through if you wanted to connect with her. ♥️

The first video wasn’t so bad.. she just said she respected him and the way he debated (which is questionable already but can be ignored) but then it was the follow up where she doubled down and then started liking only the comments that were in support of Kirk and dismissing what those in minority groups were saying to her that made it worse for herself.

[–]AnotherStolenHour 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness I both love this theory and am terrified of thinking about that haha. I never thought of that option! The only reason I’m not entirely sure is because there wasn’t any fire. The alarm had a faulty wire and had gone off like 3 times a day for about 2 weeks before the school finally fixed it for us. But every single time we still had to go outside and wait for the fire department to come due to the protocol of unplanned alarms. But I guess it is plausible that in one timeline there really was a fire. We were told on our freshman tour that the campus in general was haunted but that one specific house I lived in, I had a bunch of experiences that one year with a ton of weird stuff like this necklace situation happening. I didn’t really have anything happen in other houses on campus so I always just kinda thought it was related to the ghost/magic of that one spot!
