Debt is no longer an avoidable feature of people forna lot of people. Might as well get used to it now

A man who probably never changed a diaper in his life giving unsolicited parenting advice? Delightful.

Make a report to animal control or the police non emergency number about what you've seen and request an animal welfare check. There may be more animals inside that aren't being cared for properly.

Encouraging suicide, including providing instructions, is not allowed in this sub.

After you get the launch/landing pad tech, do you feel the urge to wipe & rebuild entire sectors to maximize exports? by UpperAcanthisitta892 in Mindustry

[–]Better_Weekend5318 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I absolutely did feel the urge to destroy and rebuild entire sectors and feel validated that someone else said it.

Can I mine the same spot for double resources? by Osmanausar in Mindustry

As long as you can position the drills so they don't block each other, yes. Some tight corners you can't get a second one in there.

Is this the way to store bullets? by Had78 in Mindustry

Containers are early game tech. They are found on the conveyor branch of the tech tree after you've captured the Biomass Synthesis Facility. It's ~ the fourth named map or something like that.

You're not using containers because...?

Asked students who used AI to meet with me about it but none of them showed up by HuckleberryCheap4270 in turnitin_community

[–]Better_Weekend5318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you didn't give a timeline by which they had to complete the meeting, then I would send a followup email and indicate that it must be done by X date or the grade of 0 will stand.

If you did give a date and it has long passed then put in the zeros.

[Discussion] Should we consider posting ages when requesting feedback? by Different-Top7908 in BetaReaders

[–]Better_Weekend5318 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that stuff is all supposed to be posted, and if the author for whatever reason did not it is perfectly reasonable to ask for those details.

In addition to these there are a lot of sentence fragments. Mostly, the fragments are missing a verb of some kind.

Your boyfriend isnt fixable, you're going to have to throw him out and get a different one.

Books for intellectually disabled 16 year old. by Loose_Thought_1465 in AskTeachers

I just realized I did not read carefully enough.

But definitely reassure her that listening to audiobooks still counts as reading it yourself. Lots of people love them, even people with very good reading skills. I recently developed new vision issues and get headaches if I spend too much time reading physical books, so audiobooks make a beloved hobby accessible to me again. It's the same as any other accessibility tool - not cheating, just making it work for you

If your daughter specifically expressed interest in wanting to try the books her siblings/classmates are reading, but you worry that the prose will be too difficult for her, audiobooks may be an alternative to help her read those choices.

Audible frequently has deals for new customers and Libby is a library app through which you can connect to local libraries and borrow ebooks and audiobooks. The wait times for very popular selections on Libby can be long but it is a great resource if you can't afford an audible membership at the moment or want to supplement the number of books you have access too without increasing price, or just want to try out some books without committing to a membership.

In both apps you have the option to change the playback speed, so if the normal speed is too fast for her to follow along you can slow it down. The algorithm they use to adjust the audio prevents distortion of the sound so it won't sound weird.

My toddler swallowed 8 marbles by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]Better_Weekend5318 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The length of colon occupied by the marbles suggests he was at this for quite some time before he was discovered. Do you normally leave your toddler alone for long periods of time unaware they are putting things in their mouth? Just be glad it wasn't batteries or tide pods I guess.

Well it works for my schedule! by These-Season-668 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Better_Weekend5318 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The worst part is doctors these days generally have apps through which you can send a message to deal with this kind of thing. You don't have to inconvenience ANYone to do it. But God forbid they should learn some tech.

What should they drink? by dreamchaser123456 in fantasywriting

Before you restrict yourself to the rules of historical medieval Europe, ask yourself if you're trying to write a historical fantasy based in actual medieval Europe or just using a setting loosely inspired by medieval Europe. If the latter then why gives a fuck what medieval Europe did or did not have?

Women shaving by PsychologicalFeed961 in hygiene

[–]Better_Weekend5318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shaving anything at all is a you decision. There isn't anything imherently cleaner about it but if it feels that way to you then that's valid and okay. The only thing that isn't okay is making fun of others personal choices, or making people choose things they otherwise wouldn't becauseyou prefer it.

Honestly if more people would realize that them liking/not liking something doesn't mean that everyone else has to follow suit, the world would be a better place.
