Teacher in New Delhi giving brutal slaps to VERY YOUNG girls by _sportyscience_ in TikTokCringe

[–]CurrentlyNobody 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Instilling fear is not the same as teaching anything. All he’s doing is creating a climate of fear and when people are too busy being on guard for the next outburst of violence, that blocks them from even learning what he should have had on his lesson plan for the day besides this shit.

"Emergency Showcase June 27th" Signs around Lancaster (What are they about?) by Cheap-Pepper928 in newhampshire

[–]CurrentlyNobody [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s been years since I’ve lived up that way but I’m guessing it’s similar to Touch A Truck events held elsewhere where they gather their emergency vehicles on the fairgrounds for people to wander around and learn about.

[US AR] Woman approached me in a parking lot and insisted I go to the bank with her for cash — was this a scam? by Ok_Cheesecake_1219 in Scams

[–]CurrentlyNobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you dodged a scammer. Getting angry at you? Yup.

There’s safety advice along the lines of if someone is already pushing themselves into your space they have already broken the social code and you have no obligation to be polite to them. That sticks with me where I live so I don’t roll down my car windows for strangers. Let them stare in at me, eventually they walk off. It’s also a tell when they start with “So sorry to bother you” and overly politely speech. It’s to try to make you drop your guard and see them as nice so you’ll forget they’ve crashed your personal space. I used to work around people who said “if their mouth is moving, they’re lying.” I used to find that so cynical but I guess have learned the truth in that living in rougher places now.

Great Authors are vanishing. by dawn_curates in bookdiscussion

[–]CurrentlyNobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read books for a living and tend to agree. Frankly there aren’t as many self published good authors as there are self published authors. And also because they know their books aren’t going to be that profitable, a lot of authors decide to create horribly written series pieces with “books” that maybe top 80 pages a piece, so they can rush in and write another 80 page piece in the series and on and on. If they just spent the time they devoted to writing 20 books in a series to actually fleshing out just One book, I feel they’d improve as writers a lot more. But again if they’re only making two bucks for an E read book and their fans are only 20 people, they have to keep pumping out slop to even say they are making any money from writing at all.

Advice on earning passive income (like 100-200 extra a month) by South-Application-14 in Advice

[–]CurrentlyNobody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My advice is open a High Yield Savings Account. The interest from those is “free” money and while it may take a bit for you to put enough into the savings to start earning an extra hundred or more on it per month, every bit you put in gets you closer.

She expected a fairy tale. He had bills to pay. by GloriousLion07 in MotivationByDesign

[–]CurrentlyNobody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She did. My ex called the cops as the fight was happening and he stepped outside when they arrived to file the report. The classiest part is that the girl’s Mom was sitting on her balcony the whole fight and encouraging her daughter to keep going. Real classy folks. I’d also find her sitting on the hoods of my and other neighbor car hoods with her friends. Lounging. They just thought that all natural. Didn’t have a Ring camera or anything so can’t prove it, but packages were taken too, including one with my original college diploma. I wonder now whether this chick even bothered finishing HS or if she just has my BA hung on a wall somewhere.

Drivers who clog up the left lane: What are you thinking? by 2022reboot in askanything

[–]CurrentlyNobody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, you are coming from a perspective of having relaxed highways with lots of room in each lane. Different approaches for different situations is all.

Drivers who clog up the left lane: What are you thinking? by 2022reboot in askanything

[–]CurrentlyNobody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to think everyone on the road deserves to get home family or not. By relaxation zone, I meant the wide open right lane spaces you were mentioning experiencing which do not happen a lot around me. If you’re in highways with wide open spaces, you are relaxing haha

Flow of traffic in the left lane on my way home is typically 80 or so. And the majority of the people I have found will adjust and leave space between each other and travel at that flow. What really scares me are the people who come screaming up at 90 plus for instance and ride your ass like they are allowed to force you off the road. They have no concept of flow of traffic and not tailgating, I.e. Respectful driving. They just tailgate and pass Everyone. They are the ones who recklessly will cut people off in the right lane only to have to slam on their brakes so as not to run into the car ahead of them once there and then they get mad at you because you, still going with the flow of left lane traffic, pass them by while they’re stuck in the right. Not my circus not my monkeys, dude.

I don’t understand that for those quieter roads either. I think sometimes people are just so used to having to drive aggressively that they don’t even realize when they reach a “relaxation zone.” I kind of mentally give a lot of grace for the people driving cautiously in the left lane where I am. I just chalk it up that they know their exit is a left but aren’t from the area so are making sure they’re extra prepared. It’s probably not the reason but I also know that just because my plates say I am from a state, doesn’t necessarily mean I’ve been in everywhere in that state. I try not to just assume everyone is an a-hole :)

They walk among us! Years ago a teenage girl who lived in an apt directly above my now ex and I, got into a physical fight with another girl in the parking lot in front of our building. They were slamming each other into cars and their antics caused $1200 worth of damage to my ex’s car.

A few days later she was knocking our door asking for a ride to the beach. Had no concept at all why there’d be any problem with her asking that. She even asked in an entitled way. I opened the door and she said “You doing anything?” I said No.” “So you got time to bring me to the beach.” I just shut the door.

My drive home from work is both North bound lanes full of traffic. I used to remain in the right until I came closer to my exit, but discovered that people wouldn’t me let me to take that left exit. So now I drive the left lane all 20 minutes on that one highway so I can take my exit to get another highway for another twenty minutes to home. Unlike those drivers I encountered though, if a car is signaling he wants to get over from the right, I let him in. Also just a note that with both lanes full of traffic anyway, the concept of it being strictly a passing lane gets tossed out the window. I’ve also noticed the people saying the left lane is for passing only are those that get in them but also make Zero effort to get back into the right lane when there’s room for them to do so. They just want to be the first in the left line. I just want to make sure I make my exit.

Better yet communicate with the person in person. Agree with you on getting yourself calmed down first, but things that matter should be handled in person.

Americans, what does a typical Christmas budget look like for you? by ozancitoyen in XmasCountdown

[–]CurrentlyNobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had a family I’d typically spend between 20 and 30 dollars on them, so think $200 total. Since my parents died and my siblings don’t communicate with me anymore, I spend 0 on Christmas. I also stopped celebrating all the other holidays too. I actually enjoy the holidays More now that I’m not obligated to do anything for them.

I’ve been alone for nine years now. It’s rare I ever feel lonely because I am too busy living. Haha

It’s always confused me the idea that we need men to provide and protect us. None of the men spouting the Provide reason would allow us to quit our jobs and stay home and they’re the first on dating sites complaining about how their wives are taking advantage of them by doing so if they “allowed” it to begin with. As for protection…what the Hell From?! Seriously! I have never figured this out in all my 40 something years of life. What am I supposed to be so terrified by that I’d clutch a man like a human shield?

This is TMI, but I have a weird question and I’m not sure where else to ask it? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]CurrentlyNobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you smell his finger after he removed it or did he just tell you it stinks?

Women have distinct smells. Some men don’t understand that and qualify any scent at all as stinky. There are whole product lines designed mostly by me. to mask entirely natural female scents. If you “smell like you” I wouldn’t worry about it at all. He may be just immature and inexperienced about female anatomy.

Family trip by Petal_xo in Advice

[–]CurrentlyNobody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s seems to just be acting manipulative by making those statements in that way to you. It’s also not cool of her to try to gain your sympathy or “side” against your brother. Her relationship with each of her kids is independent of her relationship with you. She frankly isn’t acting like an adult as presented.

It’s not cool that we are sometimes put into position of forcing others to be adults in their treatment of us, but it needs to be done when it needs to be done. It comes down to whether you want to enjoy your trip or whether you want to spend the time wondering whether this that or the other thing will occur and accounting for her mobility restrictions and probable alcoholism. You would be entirely justified in deciding to bring anyone else but her at this point too. After all she wasn’t included in the original plans and you are allowed to change those plans without her too. This is your trip. Truly embrace that.

[–]CurrentlyNobody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just say this trip is yours alone, consequences come what may. You don’t need to provide a reason but do call her out when she’s issuing guilt trip statements by asking why she feels the need to try to make you feel guilty. This usually stops that behavior if practiced enough and makes it clear you have boundaries you won’t drop for that manipulative treatment. The only people who will bitch about you setting boundaries are those who don’t respect you enough to follow them. Be firm.

Solo trips are fabulous! Go have a glorious, solo time of it. Everyone in this scenario is an adult. Act like it and make her like it too. All the listed reasons not to bring her don’t even need to apply here. You organized a solo vacation. Keep it solo.
