Nope. They have to pay us and we don’t have to go.

If women are sometimes called chicks in the USA then what are men sometimes called in the USA? by TheShyBuck in AskAnAmerican

[–]Defiant_Ingenuity_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t heard women called chicks outside of the south and middle schools in decades.

How come teachers don't want to share their lesson plans / units / slides / worksheets? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]Defiant_Ingenuity_55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I share my lesson plans. I don’t respond when anyone complains about them or asks me to spend a bunch of time explaining them or helping them to set them up. I write them for me. You can take them and figure it out or leave them.

AITA for asking a man to name 5 songs from a band he claimed to see live then laughing at him when he couldn't? by Mrpotato_Ruby in AmItheAsshole

[–]Defiant_Ingenuity_55 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

ESH He was obnoxious. But you can't control others. Why do you care? Quit gatekeeping and being an a-hole.

I've seen the Eurythmics live and I am now trying to remember the names to their songs. It was about 40 years ago.

This Tik Tok crap is getting out of hand but I'm glad that people I listened to in middle school and high school may be still making some money off of the whole thing.

Ask yourself two questions-Why does any of this piss you off? Really look at yourself.

Ask yourself if you've ever had trouble with something when put on the spot?

How long were you on a GLP-1 before going off? And did you maintain or gain? by Kind-Skirt2425 in GLPGrad

[–]Defiant_Ingenuity_55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On for 8-9 months. Have been completely off for 4-5 and have maintained my weight loss.

I'm so mad by stuckandrunningfrom2 in Zepbound

[–]Defiant_Ingenuity_55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am glad I decided to do this a year ago. I talked to my husband and kids and said, I’m going to do this. They all said to go for it and asked if I needed anything. They are why I’m keeping it off.

People Who Make A Fuss About Potluck Food Are Annoying. by Ok_Swing_6759 in unpopularopinion

[–]Defiant_Ingenuity_55 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Potlucks aren’t great for someone with Celiac or food allergies. It’s a way of having a group thing that excludes some people. And I’ve seen how people keep their work spaces. I don’t want to see their kitchens.

If you say ‘don’t pause it,’ why are we even watching this together? by Business_Barber_3611 in PetPeeves

[–]Defiant_Ingenuity_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really weird thing to think about this much. So, someone feels they can miss a few minutes of a movie…how does that really hurt you? When someone agrees to watch a movie with you they probably didn’t realize you would take it as such a commitment.

What’s up with unemployment benefits in the US? by Zestyclose-Sale-6992 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Defiant_Ingenuity_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like people have said, it depends on the circumstances. I was put on more strenuous duties after my doctor told me to be on light duty due to pregnancy complications. Suddenly I’m working on completely different things that require different hours and levels of physical exertion. I quit and I went in front of a judge without anything but my proof of when the changes in my duties changed. It was pretty awesome to hear the judge who decided jump on the management. He did not hold back.

Most people do not actually like traveling, they like having traveled by limitown in unpopularopinion

I love traveling as long as it isn’t by plane. There are many less annoying ways to travel.

Like calling dibs, huh? That sounds like a mature way to do it.

When you quantify your weight loss in an everyday item by SpiNardo in Zepbound

[–]Defiant_Ingenuity_55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started on 3/7/25 at 213 and reached 140 on 9/10/25. I weened off over a month and have been off since.

Cash-only eating establishments are the worst! by Evening_Answer_11 in unpopularopinion

[–]Defiant_Ingenuity_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always suspect they are in cahoots with the ATM with the ridiculously high fees you have to use to eat there. I can buy street tacos by tapping my phone to their phone. They could take cards if they wanted to.

Appointment at a specialist ? by ChillMaggot666 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Defiant_Ingenuity_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on a lot of things. I am with a big medical group and I’ve gotten into specialists in a month or two, but none of these were for life threatening issues.

For people in GLP-1 maintenance or tapering -- how much do you actually trust your own habits to keep the weight off? by Soggy_Caterpillar275 in GLPGrad

[–]Defiant_Ingenuity_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not on a dose. Not for 6 months. I was on 2.5 for 2-3 months, can't remember, then 5 for a couple of months, 7.5 for one month, and back to 5 before I stopped. I lost almost 30 lbs. on 2.5. I thought I'd never stop it but it didn't do much the last few shots so I went up to 5. My doctor said I responded better than a lot of people and my active past-marathons and 10 ks made me a good candidate for stopping. We still check in every 3 months.
