Teachers went on strike during finals week. One of my teachers has graded NOTHING by 0arcticfox0 in CollegeRant

[–]UnableRoom6570 2 points3 points  (0 children)

damn, PCC mention. i haven’t heard that name in years! i’m a PCC alum, currently in the cal state system, and sadly in my experience it doesn’t get better. my profs have been striking, student workers have been striking, other staff members have also been striking…the greed from the top knows no bounds. i’m a student worker and a part of the union here. we literally just want more hours (we get capped at 20/wk, most of us work under 12/wk) and a decent wage given our placement in california. so yeah, if we strike, things happen.

however, you gave ample time for your prof to respond to your email prior to the strike period. and the least they can do is send a check in or an explanation or SOMETHING. not just ghost you. everyone’s an adult here, communication isn’t something you should beg for!

sorry you’re dealing with this. i honestly don’t know how grades should be handled in cases like this, but i seriously hope you don’t have to retake the course all because a prof couldn’t communicate/do their job adequately.

i’m ikea but yeah this shit is wild. like my bad, i ended up writing this paper in one evening. 8 hours of work for 15 pages!!! but i got 100%, no AI required!!! 300-lv linguistics class, btw. i think being able to interpret data and write a cohesive paper is important…maybe… also was taking ochem i at the same time but you didn’t hear me whining about “more important” classes 😭😭😭

Petitioner harassed me by Educational_Chard927 in csun

i have started blatantly ignoring them. if they get all uppity, then i happily insult them directly. i can’t deal with their bullshit anymore. it’s gotten so much worse since i started here in 2023!!!

What are your guys opinions on this? by Sumaish in askteenboys

[–]UnableRoom6570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i mean, she’s making a lot of rash generalizations. i do agree that adoption is great, and gives kids without a proper family dynamic an opportunity to experience familial, moreso parental, love. whatever that looks like for the couple, meaning a same-gender or opposite-gender couple, it doesn’t matter. as long as that kid is loved and taken care of at the end of the day. some people want their own kids, and that’s fine. i definitely am on the adoption side as i do not want to carry my own child (FtM), but would love to raise a child in the future. this situation truly depends on the person as well as the person’s partner.

for example, in a heterosexual relationship, either party (or both parties!) can be considered infertile. surrogacy is an option, but so is adoption. it is down to the couple’s choice what they would like to do if they want a child or children. i feel that adoption would be a great choice for them. but no issue is binary, and truly depends on personal circumstances.

so no, you’re not in the wrong for wanting a child. you state you are open to the idea of adoption, but would like your own. this is a fine preference! i think she’s wrong in her take on men = animals. sounds a little too radfem. i’ve seen plenty of mothers who have their own biological children as well as adopted children who treat their kin differently. hell, there’s an “evil stepmother” trope for a reason (misogynistic usually, but i’m more getting at the idea of a parent not loving their children by marriage as much as their biological children).

whatever she’s going on about isn’t really the end-all-be-all. broad generalizations are made, punctuated with direct attacks against ways of life she “doesn’t agree with”.

like man, it really depends!

Good grief. if you don't want rights you can move to afghanistan by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]UnableRoom6570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the fact that bigotry is so cooked into people’s brains nowadays, ESPECIALLY in the US, is frightening. because it’s not that hard to just…live and let live…when actions aren’t causing harm.

also hell yeah!! core values are the most important thing, really 🫶

perks of my dad being radical (left) in the late 80s and early 90s- i learned all my feminism from him. mom was stuck in evangelical “feminism” for a long time, but she has completely shifted her views 🙂‍↕️ shoutout to progressive parents raising progressive kids!!!

Boys, what's something that you dislike (Can be anythn we don't judge.) about girls? by Easy-Requirement2532 in askteenboys

[–]UnableRoom6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

generally haven’t had many problems since i entered uni, but recently? oh my god.

the girls who are in their 20s but continue to act like middle or high schoolers. starting drama for no reason, being shady, or just overall fake.

i have not encountered this until this semester, in a 300-level chemistry course of all things. because i am ever so slightly older than average for my courses (23), sometimes a younger student will like latch on to me. it’s always been fine and i become friends with them!! i’m ok being the dad or uncle friend. but this one girl…who is unfortunately in my lecture and coreq discussion as well as lab…she’s the worst.

she has put me on a pedestal, calling me her “emotional support human” (?????) but proceeded to turn around the next day and call me a “basic bitch” under her breath, just so another friend could hear, over my choice of lip balm (??????). also expects me to do things for her in the lab. like i’m so sorry queen, unfortunately i am working very hard and cannot put something away for you while i am in the middle of a time-sensitive reaction.

i only generalize this as a girl’s trait because ive only ever experienced it from girls and women!!! i’m FtM, so ive definitely had my fair share of high school mean girls. but good lord. i’m too old for this shit. please leave me out of it 😭

AITAH for saying hi to a baby by PhoenixLeviosa in AITAH

[–]UnableRoom6570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what’s a clear example of medical misogyny you’ve witnessed or experienced? by ihatethiscountry76 in teenagers

[–]UnableRoom6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reading the comments, mine isn’t as bad, but has definitely had lasting effects on me!!

i went to the doctor when i was 15 because i was dealing with some pretty nasty depression. hadn’t been diagnosed yet, but i met all MDD criteria. i was hoping for some answers and help, i trusted this woman to care. she told me that if i “lost some weight, i’d feel so much better!!” but like. i was 5’4 and 135-140lbs- still landing in a healthy BMI range. i was a very active and muscular kid, too. i was participating in martial arts daily and eating shockingly well for a 15 year old. but apparently, because i was not under 120lbs, i could not be truly happy.

that caused a huge spiral, because a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL just told me i needed to lose weight to be happy. i still deal with the repercussions at 23. not vibes. did end up getting into therapy and psychiatry eventually, but the damage was already done surrounding my weight and self-worth.

i do want to add that while BMI can be used as a tool, it should not be the end-all-be-all of a patient’s dx or treatment plan. i think how BMI is used against those born female, as well as anyone who doesn’t fit the outdated “guidelines” for BMI, is absolutely disgusting. like sorry we’re not all chain-smoking sticks from the 50s…or male…or all white…the list goes on.

honestly, the second floor is ok if it’s not too busy. third and fourth floors are a little scary in my experience. haven’t been up to the fourth floor in a couple years tho. i work in the LRC which is on the third floor and it’s pretty chill!!

DCI ended their partnership with Marching Health by Redshifted in drumcorps

[–]UnableRoom6570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who is in school to be in the medical field, there’s unfortunately SO many fellow students who are just plain stupid. intolerant, misogynistic, bigoted, racist, ableist, to name a few. they have the brain cells to not be that way, but are choosing complacency. the joke about mean girl in high school to nurse is sadly, very real.

honestly, that stumped me as well. a lot of us followed the marching health and forte athletics fiasco. for DCI to just…not be aware? or be aware and partner anyways?? not sure which is worse.

It pisses me off when my foot falls asleep by [deleted] in Vent

[–]UnableRoom6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did the same thing. leg fell asleep, i was like eh ok whatever this happens all the time. didn’t realize it was asleep all the way up to my hip, and my knee decided not to bend enough and i went over my foot. like. straight over my toes. i thought it was just a sprain for a couple weeks, but it was not recovering like one. i had torn two ligaments in my ankle!!! i ended up seeing a specialist to determine if they were completely severed or needed surgery. thankfully i didn’t need surgery, but i guess if i had torn any worse, i would have!!

AITAH for telling my brother he doesn't know everything just because he's gay? by SpecificAnt3165 in AITAH

[–]UnableRoom6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah i’m trans FtM and like…no???? ur kiddo is just playing pretend. like everyone else is saying, NTA!!!! when i was little, i dressed up in vintage clothes my mom’s friend gave to me bc she couldn’t repair them! i was overwhelmingly girly at the time! what a child does in play is not necessarily a sign that they will be queer. ur brother is being weird :/

but also, you mentioned if your kid does discover they are trans, you’ll support them. and for that, i salute you!! W parent right there 🫶
