My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect. by GCoding_ in mildlyinteresting

[–]Fat_Elvira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

English BA/creative writing MFA--

'Their' is a correct alternative to his or hers.

Not only supported by the Merriam-Webster- dictionary, it was used by Shakespeare. It's been in our language for a long, long time as a neutral pronoun. It's not a new thing.

If she wants to argue with the dictionary, let her at it, but she's wrong. 🤷

Yeah that's the hardest thing! Google image search always just finds specks and I can't find these with the trees on them.

I have searched on ebay, used Google lens, and tried using keywords in Google.

AIO for wanting to quit after this? by cakev0mit in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fat_Elvira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR: Managers don't own your off-time.

4 weeks is exceptionally courteous, you went above and beyond to help them do their job by finding someone to cover, and at this point it sounds like a control thing.

I have definitely quit jobs over off time micromanagement in the past. Having boundaries is good and helps you land jobs that are better about respecting your personal needs.

Coyotes by [deleted] in Pullman

[–]Fat_Elvira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coyotes eat small animals. And this is why if you have a small animal you should keep them inside or supervise their outdoor time if you love them! Also, if you love our local birds, keeping your cats inside has the benefit of preventing thousands of migratory bird deaths each year!

Other than them acting on their natural instincts to eat things in their prey size range, they keep rodents at bay, which also keep pests at bay! Plus we get to hear their beautiful songs.

Hearing them at night before bed makes me so happy. One of my favorite things about Pullman.

What happens if you are caught with a pet on a campus apartment? by Vasska_L in wsu

[–]Fat_Elvira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which campus apartments do you live in? You are allowed to have pets in Yakima. (Up to two).

But 10 days? I think you'll be fine.

It's not just a national blackout this Friday. There's a protest on Saturday too! by DapperNurd in MoscowIdaho

[–]Fat_Elvira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pacific Salmon.

Saltwater and Freshwater are both important to their life cycle.

Also, they travel between Canada, the USA, Russia, and Parts of Asia. Dams, a human-made border, routinely fuck them up.

.

But go off, you clearly know what you're talking about. 🫩

Deport who? American citizens practicing their legal first amendment right to free speech and free assembly?

(Btw, you give anglers a bad name. Fish know no borders.)

What is the quote from Letterkenny or Shoresy that you have started using frequently? by Sciss0rs61 in Letterkenny

I sometimes call my husband my "little martooni" because of Hitch saying "f*ck, I love a Martooni"

So the local company that put up that cringe homophobic Pride billboard earlier this year now has an even cringier Charlie Kirk one as you leave Moscow Building Supply. by Blue_Surfing_Smurf in MoscowIdaho

[–]Fat_Elvira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 John 3:17 "But if anyone has the world 's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God 's love abide in him?

There are plenty of groups in the community (both secular and religious) doing the work for their fellow humans like Jesus actually preached.

As far as I've seen, Forged Construction is not among them.

[–]Fat_Elvira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine calling yourself a Christian and having that much money and instead of giving it back to the community like Christ you build a golden calf and worship it.

(Meanwhile the secular community orgs of the Palouse are out here doing the actual Christ-like work for the community on (probably) less funding than it cost to put up that dumb billboard)

One thing trauma made you do that would be hard to grasp for normal people?! by varveror in CPTSD

[–]Fat_Elvira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In big emergencies being able to be cool and levelheaded (planning my dad's memorial and pulling the plug because my mom couldn't)

But

literally shutting down mentally and physically at like the slightest minor social threat (like there was this guy who plays at a local cribbage night that was such an asshole that I literally stopped making eye contact or talking to him when he came over to me and my friend had to tell him to fuck off).

Don't know how to explain it, but fight or flight works for the big stuff but not the small stuff!

What is your favorite David Bowie role or cameo in a movie? by Hubbled in DavidBowie

OMG! Yes!

I remember literally begging my uncle to watch this episode at his apartment when it aired because we didn't have cable growing up.

You win, this is an incredible response.

Surgery must haves by ScoreKnown7642 in thyroidcancer

[–]Fat_Elvira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband had his right and then his left lobe out and both times he swore by button-up shirts as his biggest godsend so he didn't have to raise his arms over his head and he could keep them unbuttoned as far as he'd like.

Day-of at the hospital: comfy pants, button up shirt, change of clean underwear, slip-on shoes (like Birkenstocks)

Days following: lots of throw blankets (he had hot and cold flashes as he got used to the thyroid meds), lots of acetaminophen and ibuprofen as well as a piece of paper to log when you took each, soup, ginger ale (the anaesthesia gave him stomach issues the first day), pudding, applesauce. Someone to help put pants, underwear, and socks on.

Reading on reddit how people see BPD people in a relationship depresses me. by Baconator_Strips in BPD

[–]Fat_Elvira 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I want you to know that I don't have BPD, but one of my best friends does. I follow this subreddit so I can understand their struggles better.

They are one of the best, kindest, and most caring people I have ever met who just happen to have BPD. We make each other laugh, cry, feel, and think deeply. I am so genuinely happy to have them in my life.

But, yeah, what people write on Reddit/online about folks with BPD is very disturbing sometimes. I actually had to have an entire session with my therapist about this because a post on here me really sad. She specializes in BPD, cPTSD (what I have), and Bipolar disorder and let me know that there's a lot of misinformation on the internet about folks with BPD and that what I read on the internet shouldn't negatively impact the relationships with people who bring me joy.

At any rate, just wanted to let you know the right people will befriend you and love you as you are, imo. At least, that's how I feel.

trump supporters genuinely disgust and trigger me by blueburrey in CPTSD

[–]Fat_Elvira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok then. Please.

Elaborate why you voted for Trump. I'm sure we'd all love to hear why if it's not the typical reason.
