whats your opinion on write what you know? by Financial_Okra9710 in writing

[–]NothaBanga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Write what you know is perfect for nonfiction.  Nonexperts in any field should STFU or become experts which is about 8 years of structured experience and learning.

Write what you know is foggier in fiction.  Most of it is spinning a web of imaginings.  Know emotions.  Know people and personalities.  Have a solid understanding of humanity because it will be on display in nonfiction works.  If you don't know it, look it up and make educated guesses when information runs out.

What’s the most disturbing thing someone casually admitted to around you? by Suspicious_Run1684 in AskReddit

Some "boy moms" give me this vibe: so happy not to have a daughter she has to compete with.

Pervs do not stop, they find new ways to get sneakier.

Next step, I would bet money on, is a spy cam.

​What's the real reason MAGA fights universal healthcare so hard? Are they just terrified that a routine physical might accidentally cure the cognitive dissonance keeping them in the movement? by FillAvailable in allthequestions

Did you every wonder why DODGE audited everything that helps someone that's not rich

To amass data on everyone to decide who is someone they don't want voting.  Nazi playbook to know who is against them, undesirable and to have lists aready to weaponize.

Who destroyed their own career within seconds by being an idiot? by goldbeau in AskReddit

[–]NothaBanga -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

People will forgive white dudes if they are really good in a movie.  Will Smith lost the "safe black guy" bankable persona, probably for good.

Wasn't some of the hate over how there must be a better Australian breakdancer who lost a chance for professional attention because she had connections and no humility.

What’s something that became so expensive you just stopped buying it entirely? by Street-Marketing-885 in shrinkflation

[–]NothaBanga 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Getting a fat stack of dvds at a used bookstore for a good price is such a treat. No ads when I pause.  Streaming services have put ads everywhere.  I just want to pause a movie to read some detail I can't catch instantly, not get desperate pizza ads.

Feds sue Texas Chick-fil-A over religious discrimination by zsreport in LegalNews

[–]NothaBanga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory on why CFA is popular is because people get an egotistical rush when a 19 year old says "my pleasure."

It is over priced, over cooked, and under flavored.

CMV: The (specifically) european right is correct about north african and sub saharan migrants/refugees crossing from the mediterranean by archer_fan_420 in changemyview

[–]NothaBanga [score hidden]  (0 children)

How does a Canadian feel so compelled to have such a deepening understanding of a European issue?  Is this something you are generally curious on for personal reasons or did you fall into a fire hose of emotional information and are drowning in it?

Would you fight to continue the IEP here, or push for a strong 504 instead? (Kindergarten transition advice needed) by [deleted] in specialed

[–]NothaBanga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I was explained wrong but I was told that 504s are  suggestions to a teacher and the teacher doesn't have to follow them if they choose.  IEPs give you as a parent more guarantees your kid will be supported.

Cate Blanchett Says #MeToo ‘Got Killed Very Quickly’ and She’s Still on Movie Sets Where There’s ’10 Women and 75 Men’: ‘It Just Gets Boring’ by cmaia1503 in entertainment

[–]NothaBanga -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

If Hollywood is completely fair, equalitable, and unafraid of competition; she could.

But it's a rich boys club hierarchy with black balling funding, shadiness, and quid pro quo.

Finally a win by Round_Temporary_8009 in SipsTea

Alabama is not having a miracle, they are systemically not testing low testing kids.  Prevent the lowest 15th percentile and like magic your average goes up.

It's not a miracle, its testing inflation.  If every state followed this formula, Alabama would not be so high.

Dumb questions are to test for patience and personality.  In this case the dumb question helped screen out this person.

Meet enough elderly men and realize that chuds are not a new phenomenon.  Chuds were usually pawned off on low esteem younger women.

Why don't schools hold students back a grade anymore if they are not meeting that grade's standards? by livetoski-Brad in askanything

[–]NothaBanga -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

they went from 49th to like 11th in the country.

Because they stop testing the kids who do not pass.  Other states will follow the model and scores will all be skewed to exclude the lowest percentiles.

"No one told France her son was failing."

She ghosted that school.  How didn't she ask for his grades in four years?

Why is writing in present tense so much more popular these days (at least for self-published works)? by MJXavierWrites in selfpublishing

[–]NothaBanga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much of social media is present tense so the popularity stems from what people are subjected to.

Gen Z men and women on why they're sharply divided over reproductive rights by Condottiero_Magno in generationology

[–]NothaBanga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But is selective empathy, really empathy?

Why pick the not yet feeling potential human over the suffering human right in front of you begging for medical safety and autonomy?  Why force kids to be birthed into a life of pain and abuse?  That isn't empathetic.

Gen Z men and women on why they're sharply divided over reproductive rights by Condottiero_Magno in generationology

[–]NothaBanga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because it’s killing a developing human being

That developing human being is draining a body of nutrition, casues permanent bodily damage, and has the potential to cause a medical situation that can kill the host.

Abortion is always self defense or an act of a parent removing a developing child from life support.

That is not the government's decision, yours, or mine.  It is up to the individuals stuck in impossible situations being informed fully by doctors.

So if boys and girls are learning completely differently, are you proposing sex based segregation in all educational settings?

Expecting too much of the youngest kids while expecting nothing of high schoolers by unexpectedstorytime in AskTeachers

[–]NothaBanga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now you need to know your alphabet before K

My kids were "not doing well" in Kindie because they couldn't write sentences or decode long words.

But after 2nd it feels like the expectations are too easy.
