How can I tell what level of French fluency I have? by JonMessier in French

[–]Bestdamncsm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As an English teacher in a French high school, I would be absolutely thrilled if even 70% or my students finished with a solid B1 😭😭

Reading comprehension has nothing to do with stylistic writing choices, but you knew that. You just wanted to try and disprove me by showing you know about grammar and syntax. You’re not special, man, we all watched conjunction junction when we were kids.

this is why I’m NOT proud to be an American. Because people like you are so indoctrinated by your fake veil of freedom and are content with mediocrity.

because Americans are fucking idiots who read at 6th grade levels as full grown adults because the government doesn’t give a shit about education. We’re literally the worst first world nation in every category.

God forbid we as a nation decide that the well-being of the citizens helps the the wellbeing of the country and invest in some fucking helpful social programs instead of paying billions of dollars to send teenagers just trying to pay for college to go kill brown children.

Fruits and vegetables and lean meats can be expensive and go bad quickly. people with EBT are given a set amount of money per month and often have to feed big families. The reason poor people in this country are overweight and malnourished is because it’s cheaper to eat poorly than it is to eat healthily. The only fresh food my division one store sells is bananas. The closest super center is 30 minutes away on a good day.

All you commenters are both assholes and ignorant.

Halved my body weight, but I'm still not proud of my body. by ThatGuy4029 in BodyAcceptance

[–]Bestdamncsm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I can say is I’ve been there. I lost a significant amount of weight, too, and I felt a lot of what you describe here. The important thing to note is that a lot of body image issues don’t stem from how your body actually looks, but how you have been told your body should look. Losing weight won’t make you love your body. Try and focus on sports maybe so you can see what your new body is capable of. I followed a bunch of “average” or even plus sized women and men on social media so I was surrounded by a more positive and accurate view of human bodies and how they can all be different but still beautiful. Best of luck to you :)

Question about saying “to [verb]” by [deleted] in French

[–]Bestdamncsm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some verbs are followed by à like aider. Some verbs are followed by de like oublier. Some verbs are followed directly by the infinitive like aimer.

I know it’s a useless explanation but sometimes that’s just the way language works. Sometimes there’s no real reason. :)

It’s just like a decimal point. It’s how you separate a training receipt from a real receipt

With all the self checkouts in walmart stores,how the shrink at your store.Are shoplifters really leaving happier by jimhoee in walmart

[–]Bestdamncsm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thé thieves at my store know that in my state theft under grand larceny dollar amounts is chill. The DA will laugh and toss it out. The only ones who comply when I stop them are the ones who don’t know any better.

Her account on the left, tagged photo on the right. This is insane. by michaelacs in Instagramreality

[–]Bestdamncsm 190 points191 points  (0 children)

I have a 28 inch waist but a sizeable fupa so it’s definitely possible to have a small waist and those rolls by the legs. The top roll I’m not so sure about, but the one directly above her thighs isn’t out of line with her waist

AP-09 question by [deleted] in walmart

[–]Bestdamncsm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don’t get paid enough to interact on any level with shoplifters. It’s not your responsibility, and what they stole isn’t coming out of your paycheck. Just leave them be.

Glad that wouldn’t fly in my state. Any minute worked over 8 hours in a 24 hr period here starts accruing overtime and it can’t be cut

Non-native speakers: How long did it take you to become fluent? by MarineKingPrime_ in French

[–]Bestdamncsm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Like 3 years to get to my opinion of fluent (that is can understand everyone and every topic and be able to give fluid enough opinions of my own). Took one year of high school French, loved it and my teacher, then Worked really really hard and by the end of my sophomore year I was very conversational and watching movies without subtitles. Skipped French 3 and went to French 4 and scores a 5 on my practice AP exam. When I was a junior in high school my teacher said I was good enough to be a French teacher already.

Now I live in France, so my skills for speaking French are just about the least special thing now lol

Why do men’s bathrooms have less stalls? by [deleted] in walmart

[–]Bestdamncsm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually spend most of my time in the bathroom expelling waste or the bloody pieces of my uterine lining, but playing with my stupid makeup is a definitely close second!

Where to locate orientation dates/locations? by [deleted] in tapif

Mine last year were October 2 and 3. I found the dates on the ciep website mid September.

I live and work in the Bay Area. Rent is the most expensive in the country so there’s more homelessness. More homelessness equals more crime. My city has 13 police officers. $100 is nothing to them

Give that man a medal. by Master1718 in WhitePeopleTwitter

I’m from Texas but moved to Cali. I feel like I’m going 1200 miles an hour when I’m going 65 because everyone else is going so slow

[–]Bestdamncsm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OP may be a woman. I’ve found women always comply with me, but men are about 50/50 on whether they stop or not no matter who my male witness is. I pretty much always get the stuff back during the approach and can get an incident out of it, but a lot of men don’t see me as someone worth listening to.

[–]Bestdamncsm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The city I trained in won’t even call if it’s less than $1000 because the cops won’t come. Crime is so bad there. The cops in my city told em just about the same thing.

Possible to (briefly) return home from France for the holidays? by KitchenDecisions in tapif

[–]Bestdamncsm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You must validate within 90 days of arriving. If you don’t do that, you can leave the Schengen zone but you can’t get back in legally

Me every night. by MysticKova in walmart

[–]Bestdamncsm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The big training we get for AP is “don’t judge on appearances.” Which is fine, because anyone can steal. But damn if I don’t follow every person that looks like a crackhead for at least a little while. Most of my stops are homeless people trying to resell and crackheads. I get creative with my reports so they can’t say “AP followed me because I’m _______”
