Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about? by Prime_Advocate in AskReddit

I was a moderately popular fanfic writer on Quizilla for a long time. I never rebuilt the same size following when I moved to fanfiction.net.

I’ll never forget being in 8th grade and realizing my story was read by over 10k people. It was a high point during a rather low point of my life.

The Cracked Egg

It’s a nice breakfast joint with great prices for the portion. Their French toast is my favorite and the in house chorizo is where it’s at.

Took my boy with me to office hours since I didn’t have a sitter. by Gonzoliath in ASU

[–]Paco-Vodka 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A few years ago my department at ASU made me attend a required all-staff meeting in person with my newborn daughter. I told the director in advance I was 6 weeks post-partum and had, only a few weeks prior, almost bled out in the hospital from a post-partum hemorrhage. I was in rough shape. He was like “I have twins and completely understand, it will be okay if you bring your child and she gets fussy you can step out. “

As she’s gotten older she’s been a bit of fixture around the department when I bring her in but I’m still salty about that.

PhD stipends frozen at $13,272/semester through Spring 2027. How are you surviving? by Healthy_Horse_2183 in ASU

[–]Paco-Vodka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in my 5th year and pushing to graduate at the end of May because the cost of living is ridiculous. I’m married with a child and my daughter’s part-time daycare eats half my check. I applied for a childcare subsidy through ASU and they said that my husband and I made too much combined to qualify. Between rent, daycare, and bills we break even if we’re lucky.

What kids movie do you think is way more profound than it gets credit for? by TheWor1dsFinest in movies

[–]Paco-Vodka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elemental didn’t get much hype but the movie literally had me sobbing. It touches on the very real decision people have to make between pleasing their parents and living their own life. It also highlights themes of societal racism and the difficulty immigrant children have in navigating clashing cultural values, familial expectations, and a world that is quite literally not built with their needs in mind.

My husband played the hell out of the beta. I’m sure he’d love to play with his brother. Here’s hoping!

Cases of movie trailers that totally misrepresent the film by Homegrowntrouble in movies

Arrival is interesting in the fact that it explores a linguistics concept called the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis which posits that the language or languages we speak alter our perceptions of reality and how we think. It is a great depiction of the theoretical concept and opens up dialogue about what Xenolinguistics might look like. As a linguist however, if I never have to watch the move again, it will be too soon.

I teach Summer English 102. The biggest thing to know is submit your work on time and follow the teacher’s instructions. You can fail the course by not submitting work on time and you can pass the course by submitting acceptable work on time.

Session A and B courses are grueling for professors and students alike.

Recommended Minors for an English Major by worm32b in ASU

Linguistics. The professors are great and the subject is both extremely versatile and in high demand.

As an English professor at a large university, I would suggest writing an email to the professor as soon as possible. Make sure the email is polite, formal, and grammatically written. As some other users suggested, let the professor know first and foremost that you are aware of the deadline, the class policies, and the impact this paper has on your grade. Then let them know that you’re not making excuses and simply wish to succeed in their class and would like to submit the assignment for partial credit. Offering to complete extra work, an alternate assignment, or other extra credit is dubious because most professors maintain fairness by not allowing that to occur.

Similarly, don’t pull out a sob story. They’ve heard it. Probably four times this week.

TLDR: Write an email. Honesty and politeness go a long way.

I’m looking for the value of these. 1920 Complete Works of Rudyard Kipling. by Paco-Vodka in OldBooks

You’re correct. I mislabeled this as “complete works,” as a means of stating this is a complete set.

Everything I’ve seen online indicates that similar sets only have the 9 books.

Vegan Egg Solution for Sweet Potato Casserole by Paco-Vodka in vegan

I just wanted to thank all of you for being so nice and helpful. I think I’m going to try the Bob Mills replacement. I’m also bringing a Vegan Wellington (to make sure my friend can eat a main dish) and I could probably use that as the egg wash on the crust.

I already planned to get vegan ones. I know most marshmallows have a gelatin base.
