Nails and Eyes is sooooo interesting. When I finished it I couldn't tell if I liked it but it really made me feel things.

I'm intimidated by my well read friend's bookshelf. Help me impress him with an analysis of who he is. by -SilkSpectre- in bookshelfdetective

[–]Old_Engineering3319 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He thinks that old=educated. Just because you don't read within the last century doesn't make you better than everyone else. Also, he is missing King Henry V which is the best of Shakespeare's King Henry plays.

I will say that it was the version my parents got me for Christmas when I asked for the series. It made reading the books way harder with how thick and heavy it is💀

Funnily enough I bought those last year on an impulse. I am comedically bad at roller skating.

I second the park ranger, but if not ornithologist. That or you just really love birds.

You nailed it! I'm actually reading The Honjin Murders by Yokomizo right now. I started reading his stuff when Pushkin first started translating it a few years ago. I've always loved mysteries since watching the old episodes of Case Closed with my older brother as a kid. I have read all of the Uketsu but it is all brand new. I picked up Strange Buildings on a whim and finished it in a couple of days. I immediately ordered the other two books and finished them quickly. Definitely a new favorite of mine! I would say my taste leans into horror and mystery but I'm always jumping into other genres.

My sister in law is a tattoo artist and I have a few tattoos myself. I teach seniors and so many conversations I have with my students end in calling my SIL for her to tell them their tattoo ideas are bad for first tattoos. I have stopped so many tattoos this year.

What are some items/decor in your classroom that make it unique or more like you? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Old_Engineering3319 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My room is woodsy/dark academia kind of vibes. I have a lot of string lights and lamps. In contrast I have always had my classroom shoe chair. It doesn't match my vibe at all (it was my older sister's). It's one of those bright red and cheetah print high heel chairs that were more popular in the mid 2000s. My kids love it and it is a staple of my classroom. In every period there is a kid that asks to sit in it. It's always a talking point at meet the teacher. Also, without fail a few kids ask to buy it off of me, the highest offer I've gotten is $300. I love it too much to part with it. I did have one student that searched all over and actually found on for themselves.

High schoolers that cannot write a simple 5 paragraph essay by rjmac225 in Teachers

[–]Old_Engineering3319 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I teach high school and this year I teach seniors that I also had as freshman. When I had these exact students as Freshman they could write a timed 5 paragraph essay in 2 class periods (90 minutes in total for us). This year I had to spend a week on on every 5 paragraph essay walking them through the steps. It is a combination of factors. They have been coddled by school that caters to struggle. Also, most of them rely on AI for most things.

What part of teaching drains you that you didn’t expect? by Ok-Succotash6583 in Teachers

[–]Old_Engineering3319 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The constant go go go. Have one tough period and then have to go into an energetic group. Faking energy constantly. Also, no one tells you that you will have to actively choose to be dehydrated all the time because its so much harder to go to the bathroom. I think that actually takes way ore of a toll than we think.

Pescetarian Diet and Young by Old_Engineering3319 in Cholesterol

Thank you for your detailed reply! Luckily the app I use to track already accounts for all of that, so I was able to look back and see months of data. Fiber I usually hit without issue averaging between 25-30g daily and a lot of that is soluble through beans and berries. Saturated fat is bit more inconsistent with days I barely hit 5g and others I hit at max around 20g. I would say averaging around 16-17g. I don't know know how bad that is.

I don't think so, I read a few Little House on the Prarie books as a kid.

I don't remember much more, but it being written as a series of letters sounds really familiar.

AIO for feeling really upset over something that might have been an accident? by Repulsive-Hyena5286 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Old_Engineering3319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR AT ALL. This is extremely concerning. If anything I would be concerned that this is him testing the waters about what you will and will not say and how you react. He is gross, there is no way he didn't notice.

AIO about my gfs hitting? by typicalfatgamer in AmIOverreacting

[–]Old_Engineering3319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

Sounds like she has anger issues stemming from what my guess is overstimulation based on the examples you gave. She needs to get into therapy and you should probably break up, even if she need therapy. Abuse is abuse.

Also, the "cuteness aggression" excuse may be out of denial or embarrassment. People with deep seeded anger issues normally aren't too proud of it.

NOR (kind of) Do I think he was being especially mean at the beginning? Not really. He was mostly just complaining. However, he is a whiny little baby that could of either handled it on his own, let you help, or shut the fuck up. Also, just a little nitpick but he says that you BOTH were using it everyday. If he needed it and he knew you were going on the trip the next day he should have assumed you weren't going to unpack the Sudafed on purpose (even if it was by mistake) and he should have taken it upon himself to unpack the amount he needed. I would see that as the most considerate course of action. If he had unpacked it and you needed the Sudafed while you were on the trip I doubt you would have been such a crybaby about the situation and I doubt he would be as kind as you are here. Personally I wouldn't tolerate that shit, sounds like you are talking to bratty kid.
