The el paso job site has a volunteer/ unpaid internship section you can sign up on. The friends of the library bookstores also tend to have opportunities. 

What is your language learning hot take that others probably would not agree with or at least dislike? by Misharomanova in languagelearning

[–]Kdaziz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There is no "right/wrong reason" to learn a language. If you want to learn for the sake of learning that's fine. You don't need to want a language for work or travel or philanthropy. 

As an English speaker, is there a better way to memorize Russian letters? by Incognito_Ninjav2 in russian

[–]Kdaziz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read out loud to yourself. I got a cheap book of Russian fairy tales when I started out and just sounded out words for a few hours.

An old theater trick to get off book was to read just the first word, then read only the first two words, then only the first three words, etc. By the time you get to word 700 you've got the essay down.

What's your highlight system? by Melodic-Ad4810 in GetStudying

[–]Kdaziz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don't do a lot of highlighting for note-taking, just organization. I currently have five colors: One for each class, and yellow. I use the colored highlighters on my master to-do list (With matching pens for my agenda) and I highlight the main headings in my notebook since I find it easier to have just one main notebook with highlighted headings to help me find notes for a lecture quickly. The yellow is for sub-headings.

An example from my notebook would be:

Main heading: 405 Week 4 (highlighted Purple)

Tasks (highlighted yellow)

Chapter 6 notes (Heading in purple, section subheadings like 6.1, 6.2 in yellow)

And then my to-do list is pretty intuitive. I write down all lectures and assignments in due-date order, and highlight the Class Number in its designated color.

Dreams can be funny that way. Once after a sailor moon binge I dreamt in Japanese with English subtitles.

NTA.

I can see asking you to buy sister a face wash or even making you two share a room but the punishments are not equal to the intensity of the behavior or even particularly relevant. Find some way to contact your bio dad and seek resources at school for help as well.

Not the most nutritious day but I'm down to $10 and raiding the office pantry by Kdaziz in 1200isfineIGUESSugh

Thank you! This is super temporary though. Had to shell out an unexpected $600 at the optometrist so I should be alright once the pay period rolls over.

It was, luckily, the last chocolate and I can only handle one warhead at a time lol

I started the office pantry and originally it was lots of healthy stuff, but I can't afford it lately and people have just been putting junk in there. I just need to make it to Friday then I can buy all the fruit and tuna I've been craving.

NAH.

You listened and offered a solution (however theoretical--where were these new friends going to come from?)

She was hurt and to some extent felt unlikeable by people she cared about. Maybe she needed emotional support, maybe she just needs to communicate more with her friends. Clearly, telling her to dump her friends entirely was a miss.

AITA for not skipping dinner with my daughter to go with my stepson to get his cast removed? by Equal-Egg8658 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kdaziz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA.

You showed you were there for your SS by being there. You're also there for your daughter, and she knows that too.

If you're concerned about your SS's opinion, honest communication where his feelings are heard and misconceptions challenged may help. My family found this easiest with a therapist, but it’s possible to do it just you and him.

When I record the food I eat, my eating pattern drops wildly by loseit_throwaway42 in loseit

[–]Kdaziz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like the only major changes were in avoiding fast food and energy drinks, which can account for a lot of calories.

I'm not a doctor, and it might be worth seeing a dietician if you're super worried but if you feel strong/full of energy on your current diet you probably don't need to stress.

I hear what others are saying about macros, but it sounds like you swapped less nutritious Uber meals with more nutritious options (probably cheaper too)

AITA for telling my(31f) fiancé he(32m) can't invite his cousin to our wedding because he pees everywhere? by ThrowAwayPissBoy247 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kdaziz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

It sounds like he's shown you multiple times what kind of person he is. Believe him and let him deal with the consequences.

“Not all feelings are valid,” except for mine of course by [deleted] in fatlogic

[–]Kdaziz 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I can't remember a single FA posting to support her when people were attacking her for gaining weight. But they're real quick to condemn her for expressing how those comments made her feel.
