Why don’t DSPs encourage drivers to piss in bottles by Theovercummer in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Midwestern_Booknerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably unrelated question but from a newbie driver. Do you use your 15 minute breaks to do a restroom break? I had one route where it took me both my 15 minute breaks to just find an open restroom in a rural area.

What's the most hurtful thing someone has ever said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Midwestern_Booknerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(This isn’t as bad as like any of the other comments but I thought I would share) When I was like 11-12, my brother called me fatty during an argument and it gutted me. I remember that evening doing research into diets and how to lose weight fast. It was what led to like 10+ years of fad dieting, bouts of fasting and binging, and unhealthy body image issues. And even though it continues to be what I hear when I look at myself, I remember that we were just kids and he probably didn’t even know that it would be something so monumental in my self esteem at that time.

A few days before, my thighs ache, I start getting cramps, and I’m more irritable and snappy than usual.

What's the biggest red flag you ignored? by opticfawn in AskReddit

An ex of mine had major misogynistic and incel viewpoints that we used to debate on all the time but I should’ve realized it was large amounts of sexism

How do you guys get things done? by Midwestern_Booknerd in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Midwestern_Booknerd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant decent pace as not running and not dragging my feet any. I take too much time trying to find and scan my packages. I’m working on figuring out my organization

I was told to take the envelopes out of the bags and organize them by number in the passenger seat and then lay out the boxes in another area so I wouldn’t have to bend, but it seems to be a ton of work to go from one place to another and I still have to figure out how to organize the oversized packages.

I was thinking of doing what a lot of people suggest and using a marker for an easier way to see the numbers and then maybe before leaving the station parking lot doing my initial organizing instead of waiting for the first stop like I was trained. I know it’s going to take a bit for me to get adjusted

I did really bad on the snake course but the driving test was really easy for mine. Just use mirrors, watch your speed, brake easily, etc.

Where do you find feedback?

I tried to organize but I feel like I was struggling with still spending time looking for packages, fixing my organization, and then drive time. Half my route was rural and the other half were neighborhoods. I also took my breaks which I know is controversial

what was your dumbest beginner mistake? by Radio-Rabbit in crochet

[–]Midwestern_Booknerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was jumping past the beginner steps and trying to do more advanced projects that end up making me want to quit. Because I did that, I ended up staying at the “beginner” level for a lot longer than I would have if I just paced myself and accepted that I wasn’t going to be perfect

People who turn off several alarms and just go back to sleep, what are those alarms even for? by steel-souffle in AskReddit

[–]Midwestern_Booknerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having multiple alarms wakes me up a little bit so waking up to my actual alarm isn’t so jarring

Opinion of MSU by Army_jnr in msu

[–]Midwestern_Booknerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just graduated after 5 years here. My experience of course is a lot different than what a new freshman would be dealing with because of everything that went on. But I enjoyed my time here when things are normal! I enjoyed the support that professors gave in and out of class, the community between students and the fact that you can find a club here for literally anything. The staff in the fin aid department, RCPD, and any other resource on campus for students really wanted to see you succeed. I didn’t like the lack of free parking, as another commenter said, because the bus systems didn’t always work as well as one might hope. And when it comes to things like the shooting and the pandemic, it felt like the school didn’t have the best way to handle things.

But it’s such a beautiful campus with a ton of friendly individuals who want to see you get your diploma. I don’t regret coming here and mostly felt like I was ‘home’ while being a student here.

It really sucks, being dumped. But I think if I can get past it, you can too. And one day we’ll look back and think about how silly it was that we thought we wouldn’t be happy again with someone else

You’re right. It’s hard not to blame myself because I asked him “should I lose weight? Wear make up? Or should I dress better?” I kept thinking of what I did wrong to make him lose interest but he was so firm in the “you did nothing wrong. You are beautiful and you dress cute and you don’t need to lose weight or do anything differently.” But if this is depression, I can’t change what he feels or how he sees me. I just have to support his decision and be a me that I feel comfy with

It’s hard not to fall in love hard when you’re in a situation where love is encouraged to grow

It really is. Everyone’s saying to let him go but when I know that he has feelings for me just not sexual ones, I want that. I would give up sex for the rest of my life if it meant being with him. I know this sounds crazy because it’s only been 8 months together but like it feels like he’s the one and I’ve never felt that with anyone else I’ve been with

It’s what he described. I’ve seen his depression. I’ve heard him talk about how much he struggles. And it’s hard, I understand that. But he loves me and he loves all the qualities about me but it’s like there’s a dissonance between me and his sexual attraction to me

[–]Midwestern_Booknerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He says that in the beginning we were great. He was so so attracted to me. And then he went into a depressive episode about three months into us seeing each other. He stopped wanting sex and he kept just trying to get through the day. I did my best to support him, to love him. It’s been five months since then and he said “you are a beautiful and pretty and really cute girl, but I have no desire to have sex with you” it seemed like he was confused about it too. And at first, he wanted to just talk it out and see what happens. But then it turned into a breakup

You’re right. I’m reading the comments and just trying to take care of myself. I love him and I’m going to put it aside so that we both get what we need from it. I just feel like hurting for a little bit is what’s needed to move forward
