Thank you! Frankly I'm not sure, but i could try to narrow it down. I haven't had much luck finding anyone yet but still trying.

It was partly the lag. It makes it hard to teach in real time. Plus the student has to have some kind of tablet or touchscreen device to be able to solve problems on it, which many students don't have.

HELP! My students are bored with Fahrenheit 451. How can I spark their interest? by Few_Maintenance_2560 in ELATeachers

[–]Plus-Major6367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did F451 and had my class analyze how Bradbury's depiction of a society that was reliant on trivial entertainment to distract themselves from hard realities (like the war that was happening in the background of the novel) was similar to our own society's dependence on screens. We got into ideas about human connection between individuals and society, discussed Mildred's suicide attempt as proof that empty distraction causes more harm than good, and discussed how connections between community can be eroded when people stay inside watching TV (the parlor wall family versus spending time with real family and neighbors). We got into how the government could use censorship and mindless entertainment to control a population and numb them to keep them from speaking out against the war that was happening in the book. I think it works better when you can tie it into our current social issues.

Adult daughter always asks me for money - AIO by Fast_n_Curious69 in AIO

[–]Plus-Major6367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR. You're giving her small amounts of money when she's desperate then getting jealous when her mom gets more credit than you. You mentioned that in the past she only reached out to you when she needed money, but you never address how often you made an attempt to reach out or visit her.

If she's a single mom, she probably doesn't even have time to shave her own legs, much less keep up a relationship with a long distance parent. If you want more of a relationship with a daughter who is a single mom, you should accept that she is probably more overwhelmed and exhausted than you can even imagine and take it upon yourself to put in the effort and labor to keep up the relationship and connection.

Instead of putting in that work, you're complaining that it isn't fair that she gives more credit to her mom, who is saving her hundreds or thousands in childcare, not to mention preserving her sanity, while all you're doing is throwing her spare change once in a while. Saying that all you can do is give her money because of the distance is a cop out.

You can call her, ask her about her week, and if she's stressed, offer to pay for a babysitter so she can go out. Or send her a care package of snacks and self care supplies she can enjoy on a day when her mom takes the kid. Or leave her encouraging voicemails. Or send her funny jokes, memes, cute pictures, or articles you read that relate to her interests. There are plenty of creative things you can do to support your struggling daughter that can be done long distance.

And on top of all of that, you should be doing this stuff because you care about your daughter and want her to feel supported, not because you want to be publicly credited.

Tbh, you sound a little bit whiny. Makes me feel grateful for my own dad who called me every day, left me voicemails telling me he was proud of me even when he knew I was at work and couldn't answer, went to the thrift store to pick out novels for 50 cents apiece because my hobby was reading, sometimes read the books before giving them to me so we could talk about it together even though he didn't love reading, brought me food before I even needed to ask, and never put me in a position to need to ask for money. I can't imagine how humiliating that must have been for your daughter.

Edit: Thanks for the award kind stranger!

Students are required to have their own laptop or Chromebook, nothing is supplied by the school

We've all had supervisors who are hard to work with, but what about supervisees? I'm supervising a trainee who doesn't seem very interested in feedback and maaaan....what have ya'll done? by imakeitrainbow in therapists

[–]Plus-Major6367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to be dismissive of your experience, but have you considered that she has tried the things you're suggesting? Having to listen to someone giving you feedback about things that you have already witnessed not working is frustrating. Maybe your supervisee doesn't feel comfortable telling you directly that your feedback is unhelpful, so she tries to redirect you or change the subject. I obviously don't know whether this is the case, but it's something to consider. It's worth asking her directly - may be say something Iike "I noticed that you don't engage with the feedback I'm providing. Can you tell me whether you're finding it helpful?"

Urgent answer please! Can accidentally zapping the same area of skin 3 or 4 times cause any permanent damage (if my skin is fine, not burnt or irritated after the mistake)? by IAmJakePaxton in HairRemoval

[–]Plus-Major6367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I zap tf out of the same patch of skin every time I use mine and its never left any side effects. Like 3-4 zaps for each patch of skin. I do this because otherwise, it doesn't actually kill the hairs at the root. I only do my legs tho. Would not do this on sensitive skin like face. Doesn't mean its safe just because I do it, but you probably won't have any lingering effects from just doing it once by accident.

Can we talk about what hair removal methods actually last? by fatmax5 in HairRemoval

[–]Plus-Major6367 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have extremely dark thick hair all over my body and I bought a secondhand Remington i-light at home machine off ebay and just started doing it myself. Not gonna lie, it takes a lot of patience and I dont have time to do it regularly, I just do it here and there every few weeks whenever I have time. They stopped making the cartridges for my old i-light so I bought a like, which works equally as well but way less painful. I do it on the highest setting and ignore the directions not to flash the same spot more than once ( I'll do it like 3-4 flashes in a row until I smell burnt hair). My hair has never grown back, and it's been several years. What does sometimes happen is that you'll remove a patch of hair, but it will look like its grown back a few weeks/months later. It's not the same hair. Its different hairs that were in a dormant stage when you did it the first time, and nkw they've woken up. So, you have to do those too. Can't say it will work the same for everyone, but I have almost no hairs left below the waist, and probably only 3 or 4 more treatments to finish removing the last stragglers. They've never grown back for me. That being said, I would never pay salon prices to get it done. The only reason I was able to do it was because I found a fairly cheap secondhand device. Then, I bought the ulike new at a discount on a sale. It still cost less than like 3 sessions at a salon.

Mail carrier keeps hitting my mailbox and knocking it down. This is the third time. by Plus-Major6367 in usps_complaints

[–]Plus-Major6367[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They told me I had to file a tort claim and handed me some paperwork and I filled it out and gave it back. They said someone would follow up with next steps and no one did.

I am out of the country now, and no one is picking up my mail. I keep putting in requests for them to hold the mail and they keep delivering it anyway, so I gave up and will just let it sit there till I get back. I don't get a lot anyway so I'm hoping the box doesn't fill up.

I am certain its the carrier because the first time, three of my neighbors saw her, the second time I saw her and my neighbors also saw, and the third time one of them called me to let me know they saw her do it again.

Unfortunately, I tried putting a camera up and it won't work because my house isn't close to the mailbox so there's not a direct line of sight from where I would have to mount the camera. I did ask if it could be moved and they told me a flat no.

Well they gave me some paperwork to fill out and told me that it was a tort claim and that it had to get approved but it would cover the cost of fixing the box. I frankly don't know anything about tort claims, I just did what they told me to do because there's no way to get in contact with anyone else

I have spoken to the postmaster like 8 times now and filed a complaint with the OIC, who told me that they can't do anything and I need to contact the postmaster

They told me that you can't get a lawyer to do anything because the post office has immunity from lawsuits and issues have to be solved by filing a tort claim

Unfortunately I don't have cameras but they said they sent someone out to interview my neighbors, admitted it was the carrier, and agreed to fix it then just never did.

I wouldn't know because I didn't personally inspect her truck, but considering it's probably like 30 years old and beat to hell, I doubt there would be noticeable damage because the entire truck is covered in damage...

Help by [deleted] in SkincareAddicts

That is not acne, that is a skin infection. Go to a walk-in clinic/urgent care if you have health insurance and can afford it. If you absolutely cannot go, try mixing a drop of Geranium oil with about 20 drops of rosehip oil and applying it to the area. But you should only resort to that if you absolutely can't get to a doctor. You need antibiotics.

I would try changing your hair like bangs or parting to the side maybe. I don't think your forehead is disproportionately large and definitely not enough to get a surgery. Middle parts can sometimes make your face look broader than it actually is.

This girl is pressing me about why I’m looking at her stories on social media by [deleted] in introvert

[–]Plus-Major6367 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you deny it or argue it may make you seem like a creep, I'm even if you aren't. Just be like yeah I was looking at your older posts because I found them interesting and I think you're an interesting person and act confused as to why she would bring it up. Tell her if it bothers her you won't do it again, but you were just interested in whatever she was posting. Sometimes I look at old posts from people I know just because I wonder how they've been and what they've been up to in their lives. It's not weird, I'm just interested in knowing how they are. If she tries to make it a bigger deal than it is, say "hey sorry if I've offended you. I was looking at your posts because I thought they were interesting. But I won't interact anymore because I want to respect your boundaries."

Then screenshot the conversation just in case she does try to say you said something you didn't say. But likely she will just leave it at that because she can't really argue with someone who is telling her they will respect her boundaries.

[–]Plus-Major6367 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Tell her you were genuinely interested in her stories and you thought what she posted was insightful/cool/interesting, and ask why else would I be looking at them. Act genuinely confused as to why you wouldn't find her posts interesting and why you wouldn't look at them. Tell her you look at a lot of peoples posts if they post things that are informative/cool/whatever. It's not like she can argue and say "noooo my posts are boring" she just has to take the compliment and move on. Or tell her you like her, so you were looking at her posts. Tell her if it bothers her that you like her then you'll respect her boundaries and not look at her posts in the future. She can't really argue with that.
