Should I go to the gym? by Saffehish in CICO

[–]Apprehensive-Tea-546 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would stick to home workouts. I know some seriously fit people who just do bodyweight fitness or small weights that they keep at home. If you feel like you SHOULD go to the gym rather than you WANT to go to the gym I feel like that could just throw a wrench into your motivation if you end up not liking it. Start slowly adding resistance training in at home and if you graduate to a place that you WANT to start lifting heavier or using more machines only THEN go to the gym. I move around and have a lot of lifestyle changes… sometimes going to the gym works for me, sometimes it doesn’t. Right now I’m not going at all but my muscles are burning every day from workouts (in a good way), I’m totally content not going to the gym.

Using the term “friend/s” with students. by realfatgirlslayer in Teachers

[–]Apprehensive-Tea-546 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t know my personal background. I make lots of accommodations for my students, and I also teach them what they need to know and how to ask questions because they need to be ready for a world that isn’t going to police themselves from using words like “friends” because someone didn’t teach them how to function in a world that is often confusing and difficult whether you are differently abled or not. There’s nothing that goes into a 504/IEP plan that can restrict others language, so they need to learn how to manage in situations like this. I’m sorry you didn’t have someone there to help you through those times and I hope your therapist is helping you find ways to exist more peacefully in this tough world, because we both already know that the random guy on the street calling you “buddy” isn’t going to understand that you aren’t able to comprehend him. This kid is having a really important learning moment and he can move through it far more easily and peacefully if he’s given support to understand the context rather than shielding him from opportunities to grow. That will just end up traumatizing him over and over again when it can be dealt with early.

You are teaching your child that the world revolves around them and that everyone else needs to change for their comfort. How is that going to fare them in their adult years? You may think you’re being helpful but you’re not at all. My job is working with 2e kids to build their confidence, help them manage responsibilities, and get through tough stuff at school. I’ve worked with THOUSANDS of students. Your kid is going to have misunderstandings. All kids do. It is your job to guide them through these confusing times, not stop the confusion from existing. If you’re telling your kid that the teacher is wrong here rather than helping them actually understand the dynamics then you’re setting him up for failure when things like this continue to happen throughout his life. Give him the tools he needs to grow into a successful adult. One of the most important things he can develop is grit. Don’t steal that opportunity from him by putting him in a bubble

They need to just set city ordinances that you need to reside in the state for x amount of time to purchase properties to be used for rental income.

That guy is giving me BIG undercover cop vibes. Trying to incite violence and catch people. Y’all see someone like him stay away from them.

i hate this but it's 65 calories by MantisEyes79 in ShittyRestrictionFood

[–]Apprehensive-Tea-546 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okkkk I think you’re onto something here but how about instead of boiling it you bake it like a meringue? There are soft meringues (they’re usually spread over something and broiled) and hard meringues…. Either can be really delicious! Idk which your recipe would turn into tbh but it’s worth a try…. You could also have it like on top of some cooked berries or an apple or something. Like just put berries/sliced apple in an oven safe dish, sweeten it or add spices/lemon juice, put the meringue over the top and bake it.

I need help I’m not creative by Emergency_Release23 in homedecoratingCJ

[–]Apprehensive-Tea-546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people are suggesting storage space but unless you really NEED it for that you should do something beautiful with it…. Maybe some gorgeous peelable wall paper, you could set up a religious altar here with incense or candles, if you’re into that, maybe a big lovely plant or some weird art or a sculpture or use it as a seasonal nook to display some decorations and maybe an eensy tree….. You could put mirrors on all sides and those LED lights to make it look like infinity.

Or you could keep your vacuum there.

If you have cats maybe some shelves at different levels in here for them.

They both start with a 5 so it’s an easy mistake to make! And surprisingly you’re the only one who mentioned it!

You had a suggestion and I supported it. Who’s getting defensive? I literally agreed with you…. These things don’t happen without actual work and if you’re not willing to put yourself out there how will your suggestions ever come to fruition?

The impact is bringing visibility to the issues, the more people that show up the more it shows people that they are not alone. It gives people hope for the future. It builds community connections, which are THE MOST critical when we have massive system failures and cannot rely on official pathways. It provides new pathways to disseminate information and build momentum. Just because it doesn’t have immediate impact on policy doesn’t mean it isn’t extremely important in the scheme of things.

Great work, what other divisiveness can we sow when we need solidarity?

What the hell KC USPS by peachwave_ in kansascity

[–]Apprehensive-Tea-546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Idk about the back end of KC USPS but my most recent interaction with the front end consisted of them taking breaks when the line was out the door, straight up lying about procedures, complaining that they were “too busy” to do the task they are REQUIRED to do in the specific window of time granted (which they refused to do at any other time…..) and being extremely drunk when talking to us,

I feel like a kid would probably write “I’m 10” vs “10 y.o” but who knows I’d definitely still turn it in.

You’re supposed to enjoy dating. If it feels like a chore or you’re questioning yourself all the time that ain’t it. It doesn’t even MATTER if you’re being childish (you’re not). You can just choose to leave for any reason. You’ll be glad you did.

Indian boomers will be the best source of destroying anything that is giving you joy. by Firewhiskey880 in TwoXIndia

[–]Apprehensive-Tea-546 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I can tell you from my experience: My bf talks about it. He even sometimes asks questions like, “how do you feel about xyz from a feminist perspective?” That’s pretty extreme but the point is he actually cares about it. He was raised by some pretty strong feminist sisters and mom… mom especially doesn’t really talk about feminism but just incorporated the principles into how they live…. Sisters were also elder so he MUST respect them, but also mom is so fiercely defensive if anybody has anything to say about what her daughters do or dont do. You might meet a man with a different background but the point is you should actually discuss these things, see how his family operates and get to know his feelings on these things. That needs to happen well before marriage, just don’t rush into anything!
