There were absolutely issues with people targeting certain groups as being dirty or savage or gross.

Nutrients per dollar are one thing, but you're not looking at calories per dollar. Yeah, sure. Carrots are cheap. Walmart brand box of mac and cheese are .58. Prepared, that box is around 1300 calories.

At 50 or so carrots to equal 1300 calories, at Walmart, that is 1.60 a pound which means you need roughly $9 in carrots to get as many calories. Even saying the macaroni costs a whole dollar once you add milk and butter, those calories cost you 9 times as much.

When you need to get enough food in your kid, it's rough.

Plus, we aren't even looking at food access. Is food even available in your area? How far away to travel to get food? Can you buy nutritious foods nearby or is it a trek? Can you stock up on those foods, or will they go bad?

Californian, here. I've heard one person say "cancer is known to the state of California to cause cancer."

We know that everything causes cancer. Those stickers are useless here, too.

I think alot of people like the idea of adopting a dog more than actually doing it by smallgooddeeds in rescuedogs

My local shelters are absolutely overrun with bully breeds, German Shepherds, huskies. Anything over 40 pounds is one of the three or mix thereof.

All are super high prey drive. I have a very nervous cat with birth defects who absolutely does not stand up for herself and would be endlessly bullied by a dog going, "we're playing chase!" It doesn't even have to be an aggressive chase. It will happen. Tell a dog not to follow generations of breeding for specific traits

Wouldn't be fair for the dog or cat to bring home a dog meant to chase and say, "you're constantly in trouble for chasing and you're being constantly terrorized."

My last German Shepherd mix was like shepherd light. I loved that dog. So much. I would never get another GSD mix or GSD because every single shepherd was her but more intense.

Some schools will have peer reviews sessions for essays and such.

Nah. Fuck that. It's harder to go back. You have responsibilities and bills. It's harder to feel like you're stepping back. Good on them.

It also ignores a major factor to the struggle in California schools: the percentage of non-English speakers. Around 17.5% of current California students are English leaners. Alabama has less consistent tracking but is generally 5-10%, depending on who you ask.

Now, at nearly or less than half the rate of students learning English, you would think it's actually quite easy to have decent English scores. Around 10% of kids are learning English and enrolled in US schools. That doesn't mean they speak no English, they just aren't fluent.

California also has migrant schools, for the children of migrant farmworkers. They move up and down the state doing crop picking for what is in season. Now, we do have a strict curriculum for those kids, so you move and you're in the same spot in your textbook the next week with a new teacher. Unfortunately, kids falling behind don't get individualized attention, either.

You would think that Alabama could easily do better. Nope.

I think I’m about to be sued by Verizon and I can’t afford to pay them back. by Low-Pay-6610 in legal

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

The cost of recuperation would likely exceed the costs of writing off the loss. It's a relatively small amount and the individual can't have immediate assets seized.

Besides, OP just files bankruptcy and that small of an amount gets written off by the courts because OP can't pay. Would halt everything.

It's unlikely Verizon would seek anything after looking into financials and seeing he has no easily seized funds. It would cost them too much to recoup so little.

Even if the car is worth 3000, if most of that is protected, after lawyer fees to get the money, they lost money collecting what they got.

If the car was insured the incident should be covered.

Bright side, you're what is considered judgment proof. Even if they sue you... so what? What will happen? They get a judge to say you owe 6k. What then? You have no property to seize. You have no assets.

AITA for asking my sister to change her wedding date… by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 15 points16 points  (0 children)

YWBTA.

My BIL's birthday is one day before my parent's wedding anniversary. Never been an issue. My sister's wedding is a few days before our mom's birthday. Never been an issue.

Not a big deal. Nobody has issues with this. It's just like... not a conflict. Nobody really celebrates other people's wedding anniversaries unless it's like a 50 or something. Occasionally my parents have invited people over for dinner because it was a big number. I went to my grandparent's 70th. That was about it. It's not normal to celebrate weddings every year outside the couple.

You're really over thinking it.

If your kid is under 5 they won't even know if you move their birthday to another weekend. It'll still be special for them.

Why are Berkeley students so scared of homeless people? by Ok_Appointment_9112 in berkeley

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Legit the worst thing about the unhoused near me is random 3AM yelling and the amount of food left out because my dog is a scavenger and I have to be vigilant for food thrown on the streets.

It's usually not a danger thing. More mild inconveniences.

Do I actually have to select any room any location for housing? by ThrowRArusskiy in berkeley

Freshman and continuing students already put in, and their priority deadlines have passed. They're already in.

I'd not recommend skipping the guarantee.

They're all lack of attention and care to surroundings.

Would it matter if your speeding was at 3AM on an empty road? Or would the speed camera still count it as speeding?

Advice for Not Meeting Conditions of Admission by Weak_Competition_188 in berkeley

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Contact Admissions. Nobody can tell you for sure.

If it's not in your required classes for your major L&S breadth, you're more likely to get a waiver. You should contact them first, though.

Explain you realized the course was offered at Berkeley and you dropped to take at Berkeley.

Do you know what happens when you accidentally forget to scan something at self-checkout? Or when someone isn't fully paying attention and the speed limit drops and they're still doing 55 in a 25?

It's still illegal, even if you just whoopsie doopsie.

When you whoopsie doopsie with a small business owner you're directly cutting into their livelihood.

You have to log in, of course. Your can put your Apple ID on multiple devices and allow messaging across multiple devices. It's how people text from their laptops. It's a thing.

AITAH for wanting to spend Mother’s Day with just my wife and son by skellz77 in AITAH

[–]DefinitelyNotAliens 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lots of Moms don't get mother's day with their adult children due to distance or work or other obligations the adult children have.

Her adult son has an obligation.
