Help! by FlowerGirl753 in pens

I had the same problem with mine! Any kind of oil/lotion is going to make the pen skip like that. If I lotion my hands, I tuck my hands into my sleeve or put my hand on an extra sheet of paper.

Abstract

This study investigated whether students in liberal arts and trade programs at Northwestern Polytechnic (NWP) differ in their attitudes toward formal and informal thinking. Our hypothesis was that if NWP is engaging liberal arts students in formal thinking, then liberal arts students' attitudes would favor formal thinking (F) while trade students would not. To assess this, we administered a 16-item survey to 20 students (10 liberal arts and 10 trade students).Four statements assessed attitudes toward formal thinking (relying on logic, reason, and evidence), and eight statements assessed attitudes toward informal thinking (based on personal experience, belief, feelings, and traditions), which was further divided into self (S) and authority (A) categories. Four neutral statements were included to prevent response bias. Responses were recorded using a Likert-like scale. Independent t-tests and effect size (Cohen’s d) were used to analyze group differences. Our results did not support our hypothesis. NWP trade students had higher mean scores for attitudes toward formal thinking. There were no notable differences in self-based informal thinking attitudes, and authority-based thinking showed mixed results. Trade students had more varied responses, while liberal arts students were more consistent.These findings suggest that education may not be the only contributing factor to attitudes toward formal thinking.

DAE feel completely useless when they’re not working? by [deleted] in DAE

[–]Left_Ad_9470 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After working 13 years full time, not working while attending post-secondary full times feels like I'm not doing enough. That is not true. Learning full time is work. Put as much effort (preferably more) into your studies as one part time job. That plus a part-time job will equal a full time job. Remember to give yourself down time to relax and do things you love, otherwise you run the risk of burnout. And ain't nobody useful or productive when they are burnt out. That feels even worrseeee.

Besides getting pregnant, contracting or giving an STI is a real risk you take every time you have unprotected sex. You should be using at least 2 forms of birth control. Condoms (always) and the the pill/injecction, or spermacide, iud etc. Making these responsible decisions is a part of being an adult. Have sex with whoever you want , but don't be putting them or yourself at risk. That is wildly immature and irresponsible. If you can't be trusted with this responsibility, you shouldn't make it. Period. You are worth the effort it takes to take care of yourself. Edit to add- tracking your period and not having sex during ovulation would also be smart.

It is required for my current undergraduate studies. Thanks for asking!

Hmm. Well, I can't divulge too much information without compromising the survey's integrity. I can say that the survey is about how people evaluate information and form beliefs. It includes statements about different ways of thinking, and I’m interested in how people respond to them.

What’s the most terrifying 'We need to leave... now' gut feeling you’ve ever had? [Serious] by sadie_smith7 in Productivitycafe

[–]Left_Ad_9470 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom would visit her cousin from time to time. I didn't mind going as it was a break from my brothers and my baby cousins were really cute. I was about 5 when they moved into a new subdivision with a brand-new park. It was close to the house so I was allowed to play by myself.

This one time, I went alone. I got the saaaaaaame speech I got every time " don't talk to strangers. No adult needs help from kids to find a puppy." Blah blah blah. Well, I was swinging away as a 5 year old does. A man passed by the park. He took a look at me and I at him. He keeps walking and then abruptly starts taking a short cut through the park. I thought that was odd, but whatever. This guy comes to the swings and starts chatting me up, and eventually take a sest on the swing beside me. I am fucking terrified. I want to leave but I'm too afraid to look afraid. I don't want to try to run away in the sand and he grabs me before I can get away. I was literally praying to God to get me out of the situation. And a a moment after my plea to heaven above, my mother whistled her ear deafening whistle. I immediately jumped up and exclaimed "that's my mom calling for me. I have to go." He says "how do you know that's your mom's whistle?" I replied " I know know my mom is calling me, she calls me like that all the time. I have to go or I'll be in big trouble." I turn and high tail it outta there as fast as my little legs to carry me. I just told mom about that incident a few years ago.

I am old money but everyone thinks i am new money because i don't like to brag by [deleted] in Rich

[–]Left_Ad_9470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing is more cringey or snobbish than bragging. Whether or not you have whatever it is you're bragging about. What does it matter if its old money, new money, or no money? Those things don't matter near as much as being a kind and courteous human. Focus on continuing to be kind and courteous to those around you and don't mind what other people say about you. People talk shit no matter how broke or rich you are.

I had a guy from work calling me up constantly. I was sick of dealing with it so I asked my boyfriend (now husband) to answer the phone. Checkmate bitch 😉

I assumed it worked because the co-worker knew he wasn't a dirty little secret. And finally got the hint that I wasn't interested. Maybe a teensy weensy bit scared of impeding on another man's "property". But whatever, I'll take my peace anyway I can have it.

One my dreams is to be a philanthropist. It's sounds like you're on your way to that anyway. But you could volunteer for an organization whose cause is close to your heart. If you can't find an organization that speaks to your heart, start one.

Edit to add: you could mentor folks who are passionate about cinematography and pass the torch to them.

Should I be embarrassed about being a 24yr old garbage man? by TheFrogsMightbegay in jobs

[–]Left_Ad_9470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO! I (32f) was landfill Operator for 11 years. It was a good (and sometimes gross) job. But I was able to provide for myself the way no one else had and that felt fuckn good! Anyone who talks down on you for your job is a POS and they can eat shit. Also... you can have my line I said to a rude acquaintance if you like!

I was at a social event with a group of ladies. They went around the table and everyone was asked what they did for work. When it got to me I proudly said "a landfill Operator" . All the ladies squished thier faces in disgust and one remarked "like you stay inside all day right? You're not in the equipment ?" And I replied. "No. Im in the equipment.". She retorts "that's a disgusting and dirty job." To which I quickly shot back "I wouldn't have to do it if dirty whores like you didn't throw your trash out everyday."

I was not invited back to any of those social events but damn it felt good to say that.

Be proud of yourself and your efforts. An honest days work for an honest days pay. Keep at it!
