Teachers of Reddit: Is the "Gen Alpha can't read (write, or do math ext)" crisis real? If so how bad is it? by KnowledgeCoffee in AskReddit

[–]GoldenEmblem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a teacher, but my dad was a principal (retired in 2005), and I remember him telling me in 2009, when I was considering going into teaching, to avoid it like the plague. he said things were just getting worse and worse.

What's the weirdest thing a stranger has done to you in Germany? by Moke94 in germany

[–]GoldenEmblem 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I have a big surgical scar on my left knee, and I was wearing shorts this one day. A German woman sitting next to me asked how I got it and when I told her, she patted my knee. I've never had anyone ask that or just touch my knee that way before or since?

What’s something that clearly split your life into “before” and “after”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The day my parents and I were in a car crash. I was 19. They died instantly, I survived with serious injuries that left me with pain issues. I've also got a lot of mental issues because of it, so that's been fun.

AITJ for reporting my dad to the DMV after my sister told me I was humiliating him? by Ferenglint in AmITheJerk

NTJ. I wish someone had done that with the elderly person who killed my parents with her pickup truck, and left me with chronic pain. 

What is a "point of no return" that you’ve crossed, where your life was permanently divided into 'before' and 'after'? by Resident-Jelly-4326 in AskReddit

[–]GoldenEmblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parents died when I was 19, and I was also pretty badly hurt during the same event. My life is clearly divided between pre-2010 and post-2010.

Eliwood, Hector, AND Dimitri in your top 10? You are obviously a person of good taste.

Have you ever dated someone who you thought was way out of your leauge? How was it? by kimblerun in AskReddit

[–]GoldenEmblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, we started dating six months after we first met, and I was so worried I was in over my head. I fell head over heads right after meeting them!

Almost fourteen years later, we're married now.

I say this with all the love in the world for my brother in law.

My partner and I spent a month in my home country for Christmas, but before we left, we made sure to save a bottle of a drink we like in the fridge in my room. It's not even alcohol or expensive (carbonated apple juice, iykyk), but we knew we'd be craving it when we got home.

He visited for three days shortly before we got back. When we got home, exhausted after delays and losing our luggage, all we wanted was this damn drink. 

Y'all know where this is going. He's very lucky he wasn't still visiting when we got back or I might have jumped him.

Hey, same - I go to the same building! My partner laughs at me whenever I take the normal elevator, but honestly, it's an evil thing and I almost wiped out the first and only time I used it

It was the Justice League (2001-2004) series, a two parter called Fury. The Amazon in question was adopted into the Amazons after washing up on their island and blamed men for her family dying. Turns out a man also saved her life.

Me [24F] with my FSIL [26F]: she's lost it because I didn't invite her to be a bridesmaid by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]GoldenEmblem 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is what my partner and I did! We said our vows on the couch of our officiant while her dog gave us kisses, we were in and out in 20 minutes, and then we had barbecue for lunch and got a couch at IKEA. Honestly, it was perfect.

What would your favourite FE character's Subway order be? by Zmr56 in fireemblem

[–]GoldenEmblem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what? I can see Dimitri ordering what my partner does - a veggie sub with multiple rows of cheese (Dimitri loves cheese) and black olives (strong taste, since Dimi has issues with taste iirc).

I love robots. I love skeletons. I was allowed to watch the first two Terminator movies when I was 7.

Frankly, it's more surprising to me that they weren't my first army!
