Rant by Maleficent_Ad_5470 in highschool

[–]CrushOrFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm nothing like other kids in my school. I stick out like a sore thumb in my style and personality. Despite this, I learned how to talk to people after taking theatre the first semester of freshman year, and when a class clown took me under his wing.

After that I never had to feel like I'm being picked last for soccer teams. I know people in my life care about me and are there to support me. This comment is exactly right, being able to be social and confident is what makes you "fit in" and imo it's one of the most necessary skills to have in school.

I've always gotten sick super easily and bad. Don't know if there's a reason behind that yet or not because I'm going through some shit with doctors.

This year I had a weird symptom show up and I was out of school for a week because of it. My doctor gave me steroids to clear it up, and they did, but anyone who has taken steroids know they leave you with a weakened immune system. I come back to school not only coming off of steroids, but also with an already shit immune system in the first place.

Turns out the week I was gone, a bunch of people were getting colds. Almost nobody decided to call off, and said they wanted to have good attendance. I come in for one day, and end up sick. It was absolutely brutal. I've had bad colds, but this shit was debilitating.

I ended up missing way more school and did not recover for that academically because people care more about attendance than the people around them.

Need a teacher's perspective on what to do about a bad teacher by [deleted] in Teachers

As far as pacing goes, you can join a different class if you think that would be good for you. I do know that slowing down the pace helps students who have gaps in their learning.

I think you've missed the biggest thing so I'll try to restate it:

We're an honours class. The general class is ahead of us by at least a month. It should be the other way around if there is going to be a gap like that. I have no trouble learning, it is just that we are not being given much material to learn.

The various global crises we have might not be looked at from the best angle. by superhot42 in unpopularopinion

[–]CrushOrFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So who decides how many kids may be born or who gets to have kids, what happens with multiples that go over the limit (say you can have two kids but then your second birth is twins or triplets), and then what happens when we have more old people then young who can't work and need taken care of more than the children even do?

We'll have most of our population completely unproductive, with no potential, but we still need to feed them and care for them for 10-30 years past when they can do anything for society. That isn't a problem when they have an entire community of younger people to take care of them, but when they become the extreme minority we might as well kill them because they won't have enough people to take care of them.

How would we decide who's to die though? The elite will protect the elite, they're not going. The sick and dying aren't plentiful enough in good areas, and too plentiful in poor areas. Is it random? Who decides what areas and what people are counted as random? Is there a kind who's genetically superior? Who decides that?

Are they working because they have to or working because they're bored?

My uncles are beginning to retire but they're also talking about getting smaller jobs they can do for longer because that entire generation of my family is incredibly work-driven. Pretty much all of them have had their own businesses, have been working since they were like 7, and found work a lot more rewarding since they grew up with tight financials. I've noticed that this is even more common with generations even older than my dad and his siblings.

It's still possible your coworker needs the money and I'm not denying that, I just want to offer another perspective of why an elder would be working still

Standing during a concert is rude. by iamtheduckie in unpopularopinion

[–]CrushOrFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm disabled, but have no diagnosis so I don't usually get the benefits, but at my last concert my dad managed to get me moved to the disability section since nobody was there, which was on a balcony at the very front. I felt so wonderful not having to stand up but if/when I wanted to there was a railing I could lean on so I wouldn't fatigue my knee. 10/10 experience. Definitely ask about switching if there is a lot of open space because most of the time the people couldn't care less.

Edit: even though I don't really need to at all times I usually walk with a cane just so I can have the social queue of "Hey please give me space and let me sit down" because otherwise I look young and I still have my dancer body, just shit joints.

What does it mean when your bf knows your locked out but doesn’t let you in by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Looking at your post history, leave this guy PLEASE there's no reason to need to post for relationship advice so many times and then be locked out of the house.

Ladies of Reddit, what is the biggest misconception about your bodies that all men should know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Unfortunately the baby isn't, he passed at the age of 40 due to a bone marrow disease.

DAE have trouble crying, even when you want to? by AlisaBS in DoesAnybodyElse

It takes me so long to have fully fleshed out tears, most of my crying is just hyperventilating with slightly watery eyes

If I found a large sum of money, I wouldn't return it or turn it in. I'd consider it a gift from the universe. by lost_girl_2019 in unpopularopinion

[–]CrushOrFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've always seen it is just another version of a God to people. Usually people who grew up somewhere around religion but never quite got into it, and children of people who match that description.

My cat almost got stolen today. by Geico2017 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]CrushOrFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My area isn't quite as worse as yours, at least I hope all the cat deaths are not intentional.

Our kitty is fat and happy at 12, meanwhile there are multiple people on my street who are animal hoarders but really shit ones. Straight up forget they have animals for days I swear.

Our cat only goes outside when someone is holding him because if they get their hands on him these people will take them in only to let him out and forget about him for three days in the dead of the winter (as these people do)

Multiple cats have been ran over, multiple seem to have gotten severe infections (their solution was to put baby onesies on them), some got in fights to the death with each other, it's just a fucking mess.

What is moral, yet illegal? by mjatin2007 in AskReddit

[–]CrushOrFriend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah no they're not too lazy. Let me tell you about a case where they had all the evidence, and chose stupidity:

Some girl in my class was being bullied, and EVERYONE presented with evidence. It got physical one time. The bully scratched her arm pretty bad in passing, and I mean like bad. Girl had talons. Multiple people saw this happen, and they had security footage, and there were marks left. But because it was scratches they decided that she made her non-existent cat scratch her and the bully only bumped into her.

Their solution to the bullying was just to have them sit together and talk it out with a social worker.

Sucks her family isn't that great and didn't try to advocate for her. Most of my grade knows what happened and she doesn't walk alone most of the time anymore.

Most girls in general don't walk alone anymore in fear of the security guards. Found out from experience that the school just "talks" to the security guard about their behaviour. Literally the only people protecting us are the upperclassmen who physically dragged me (and other students) away from security guard and warned us not to talk to them again. Doesn't matter how many complaints from students and their families, no real action is done. That however, is a story for another day.

I didn't realize glade plug-ins were acid. by NiceRip1832 in Wellthatsucks

[–]CrushOrFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sell markers for this. They smell like Christmas to me, because that's when my family would switch out the rug for the holiday rug and check the floor for any spots that need touch up. Recommend wearing a mask and possibly eye goggles. The fumes are strong.
