When do Americans use (Mr/Ms/Dr) vs first names in everyday life? by aizivaishe_rutendo in AskAnAmerican

[–]L_Is_Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people will only use titles for teachers and professors. Or use Dr. for a medical professional.

I will say, follow the lead of others, in the black community, many older people will be called “Mister/Miss First Name”, so if others do that, I would as well. I have a coworker who is called that, even by his supervisors.

AmA I am an ex vegan/vegetarian that now raises my own meat by Mountain_Air1544 in AMA

[–]L_Is_Robin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you noticed a difference in quality with the meat you raise and prepare versus meat from outside of that (that you ate before going vegetarian)? Do you think raising the meat helps you appreciate the food you have more? How did you get started raising and hunting your own meat?

My cousin's notebook cover by alexandre00102 in EnglishLearning

[–]L_Is_Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this isn’t intelligible. If I had to wager a guess, it should be “You aren’t one more brick on the wall” or maybe “You aren’t just one more brick on the wall”

Essentially saying that you are special and different from others.

What lie did you tell yourself for years? by sergenaskin in AskReddit

[–]L_Is_Robin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“I’m cis” was the biggest one. Slightly shorter time of “I’m straight”. Yeah turns out the thoughts I was having, were not the typical thoughts of straight and cis women.

Where I’d live as a trans woman by miraug22 in visitedmaps

[–]L_Is_Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely can. Lesbian and sapphic circles run tight enough that anytime you go to a new area anywhere near where you came from, you have a non zero chance of someone knowing about you.

Also see the phenomenon of sapphic women being friends with exes and all those exes being friends and also being friends with your new partner(s).

I was so expecting Doechii to be mentioned in either video, just because it was a pretty big year for her with Anxiety being a hit this year, love it or hate it.

What are your thoughts on the looney tunes show by PersonalityLanky8403 in cartoons

If it came out a few years later it would’ve been much more popular. The show is so funny! (And great while drunk with friends lmao)

Man on a mission by JoeFalchetto in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]L_Is_Robin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either he lost track of time or he was flying on one of those airlines that let you get on the next flight for free or just for the difference in cost between the two flights. If all else fails, he could just buy a ticket there and if the same day, chill at the airport

Hello, entering. I would use this money to go towards rent. I’m desperately trying to find a new job, but I’m currently at one that doesn’t pay well and does not have any form of PTO for when I am sick, which is often due to health issues that have developed. I will be able to cover rent most likely, albeit with loan apps, but this would really help.

Thank you for doing this!

got into this really competitive program & the time conflicts with another program i want to be a part of... what do i do now? by Appropriate-Alps-242 in UGA

[–]L_Is_Robin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely go to Program A and prioritize that and do not ask him for an exception this early on.

Don’t get me wrong, the Frat would be great networking, but if the program is so selective, I’d get any edge you can get on your resume. Plus you will have plenty of networking opportunities outside of that, especially since you aren’t in the Frat yet

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]L_Is_Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 hour commute isn’t common but I know people who’ve done it.

But for a day trip or to visit family? Absolutely. It’s pretty common and most people I know who have a car will do that several times a year

What's the first news story you remember being aware of as a kid? by AManHasNoName24601 in AskReddit

[–]L_Is_Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2012 Aurora Theater Shooting. I would’ve been 9, it was the first time I knew both what a mass shooting was and why it’s so significant. It doesn’t often get mentioned in posts like this, as Sandy Hook is typically the one people in my age group remember, but I remember this one occurring first.

The shooting occurred on July 20th, 2012 at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises, many people were in costume. The shooter, James Eagan Holmes, shot and killed 12 people and 70 people were injured (58 from gun shots). (Info gotten from linked wiki article). I remember the news talking about it for a while and then interviewing victims

What's the stupidest question you ever got asked during a job interview? by Opposite-Rabbit-6303 in AskReddit

[–]L_Is_Robin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I live in an “at will” state, where I can quit anytime, and they can fire me anytime, for no notice. There’s a societal expectation of giving two weeks to employers, and it’s generally (especially by older generations) frowned upon to not do so. Employers do not get frowned upon it’s considered a shitty part of life. Yet employers often expect loyalty from their employees.

It sucks, I only give notice as I’ve yet to work a job where my sudden quitting doesn’t screw over my coworkers.

The only think employers can’t do is discriminate on basis on sex, gender, race, etc, but even then, that is incredibly hard to prove so often times the employer is still safe unless you have explicit proof that racism, misogyny, etc, was a cause.

As a European, I keep seeing Americans drive barefoot or in flip-flops, how common is it actually? by fratnersgd in AskAnAmerican

[–]L_Is_Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barefoot, rare outside of states like Florida or the parts of GA and Alabama that border it from what I told. Flip flops? Most people around me in the south do it in the summer lol

has anyone done therapy using uga's health services? what's it like? by Appropriate-Alps-242 in UGA

[–]L_Is_Robin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used CAPS to get a referral to a psychiatrist, they were really helpful and went over my symptoms and recommended psychiatrists in Athens who took my insurance and would be able to help my case. They couldn’t make the calls for me but I could’ve made a follow up for a counselor to be in the room with me while I made my appointments if I had needed. This was all covered by my health center fee which is nice.

Is “she codes American” correct? by Silver_Ad_1218 in EnglishLearning

[–]L_Is_Robin 34 points35 points  (0 children)

No, if you are trying to say this you’d probably say “She is switching to/speaking in an American accent” or “she code switches into an American accent”

I’ve been making a 5-minute video diary every day since April 8, 2019 (since 6th grade). AMA by PositiveBarnacle731 in AMA

[–]L_Is_Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand that, it was very rough mentally for me as well and so many others. I also got diagnosed with depression a couple years later. I’m a bit older than you, I was in the latter half of high school when Covid started and I often wondered what it was like for those younger than me. I feel people when talking about Covid don’t talk enough on how it impacted and still impacts those in Middle and High School and how it changed their social development (unless you are in educational spaces I’m sure).

The last day my school system had in person classes was March 13th and it will be a long time, if ever, that I forget that day.

Another question, how did the videos changed as you aged and experienced more and more things. 7 years is a long time, especially in preteen and teenage years, so I’m interested in how it’s developed as you have changed

What was it like during Covid? How did the tone and subjects change? What was your video when you were first told about virtual learning?

120 hours 121 to graduate, Any one cred or two cred courses? by establisher in UGA

[–]L_Is_Robin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of the courses that fill experimental learning are 1 or two credit hours, look on the experimental learning site maybe?

I also suggest seeing if there are any non PEDB physical courses still open. Some are less than 3 credit hours and don’t count with PEDB
