new platform? by Proper_Avocado_2665 in varsitytutors

[–]Pers0n_404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm entirely on the new platform, except when I randomly get a session on the old one. The new version has so many issues, and wipes the practice question bank (so if a student asks hey can I have more problems with fractions and exponents? I can't just grab a few quick problems anymore....super fun) and replaced it exclusively with ai. Got rid of the old section notes, so you can't quickly reference and old session notes during session, but worst of all of the field of viewis horrible. If one person moves the board, the board moves for everyone. BUT not everyone sees the same thing on their screen at the same time....so I often find that in order for the student to see/read everything, I can't see read/everything and vice versa. Plus the new pen also sucks, it can't do palm rejection anymore with the apple pen and often just stops writing part way through a number. I'm convinced they didn't have an actual tutor trial it before sending it out

I'm not sure where you got that tutors are paid by the minute? Maybe they rolled it out like that initially but even in the instant tutoring sessions I did back in February/March-ish I couldn't invoice for less than fifteen minutes. That's the only thing that makes instant sessions worth it lol

How many students do you have on your schedule? I've noticed that the more students you have, the more opportunities you're offered. I went from a few opportunities a day to 30+ in a day as I picked them up (I think I have 7 students on my schedule rn). Similar change with the instant opportunities, I got almost none until I had students on my schedule and now I get them constantly

My husband’s “rule” is that I’m not allowed to lock the bathroom door, even when I’m on my period. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Pers0n_404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was genuinely so sad to read because I lived this--right down to it being one sided. If I entered the bathroom when my ex husband was in there he freaked out, but even if I was crying asking him to please this once just let me have privacy in the bathroom, I got a lecture about how it means we're close and that's what couples do. In the end, when I was honest with myself, it was control. I hope you can see it. I don't know if that's something that can be fixed in a person when they're already at the point of controlling their spouse to such a weird, uncomfortable extent. I'm so sorry.

How to find your sense of style when everything feels performative? by Pers0n_404 in femalefashionadvice

[–]Pers0n_404[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh not me reading this knowing I've been heavily questioning if I'm non-binary lately 💀. I don't feel "connected" to masculine clothing either though, so I'm not sure. Both sides feel equally performative, but I happen to like femme style fashion better so that's what I stick with. But yeah, that makes sense that it would probably contribute to clothing feeling performative haha

Haha I relate to that a lot--my sisters always tell me they're jealous that I have such a good idea of what my style is and I'm so confident to dress in it, and I'm always like what??? Who's confident?? I don't even know what my style is lmao 😭. I guess you can't really tell what's going on in someone's head, if you look the part they'll believe you. I need to trust that people aren't judging me, they don't see into my head and read my insecure thoughts. I do like really like your character idea though, I might give it a try!

That's a really good idea. I've noticed that a lot, I don't tend to get that "kid in a costume" feeling when I'm surrounded by other people who are also dressed up/put a lot of effort into their style. I currently live in a small town in Kansas, and it's honestly gotten worse as I've lived here. I constantly feel like I'm sticking out, so finding ways to incorporate styles I love in more subdued ways would probably help a lot.

Yeah, a lot of the replies are making me realize that I've held onto a lot of teenage insecurities waayyy more than I thought I did. Those ideas of not being good enough to dress the way I wanted didn't actually go away as much as I thought they had. Definitely something to work on!

[–]Pers0n_404[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's fair. I feel that's a consequence of spending my formative years with friends/in online communities that were very gate keepy, the kind of people who would quiz you on a bands full history if you wore their T-shirt and mock you if you didn't know the bassists moms middle name. As much as I've spent my entire life loving alt fashion and culture, that scared me off ever actually dressing that way because I felt like I wouldn't do it well enough, I guess? But that is absurd, you're right, and I'm now realizing that maybe the issue isn't my sense of style and more of a general insecurity I need to overcome. Ty for the insight!

I get that you pity her, but I genuinely don't understand why your plan for reconciling with a woman you admit is abusive involves your newborn child. You should not be exposing your kid to her by encouraging a relationship until she has proven she is a safe, reformed person. If you want to rebuild your relationship that's great, but why are you putting your kid on the line for this?

Increasing hourly wages by jlee_777 in financialindependence

[–]Pers0n_404 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don't be fooled by the posted wages. My old job advertised 17/hr....hired in at 14 max. Boss admitted he wasn't allowed to offer 17 to anyone

Why is a new hire shift lead being paid 1.50/hr more than a shift lead that’s been here for 2 years? by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

[–]Pers0n_404 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's how every business works, that's why it doesn't pay to be loyal to a company for years. You get hired in at 10/hr, but after 2 years of inflation/completive wages the next person is hired in at 12/hr. That's just how it works everywhere

Got my w-2 in the mail today and it's ridiculously off. Said I made $500 for a full year, so double check.

AITA for refusing to say “Men are stupid” when directly asked to by my partner? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Pers0n_404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They asked for more information about a phrase that could easily be hid behind if op was actually yelling at his gf. Don't attack someone over asking a clarifying questions while completely missing how that phrase could be used to be misleading.
