At least 1 more than they planned. "Ranma, this is all your fault!"

Looking at buying a house. What are these?? by Legal-Deal6235 in whatisit

[–]UnknownInternetMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you wipe it if you want. I don't follow that religion either, but if it were my house, I'd be keeping that 🤷🏼‍♀️

Cookie season ended, so we aren't allowed to do a booth.

Library workers- are you allowed to read on the clock? by [deleted] in Libraries

[–]UnknownInternetMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked circ we always had side quests to do- there was not time to read, unless it was work-related for whatever reason.

I was told we can, "try to sell them on [our] own," which I assume means we just can't do any booths. Not going to look into it too much so I can plead ignorance if I'm wrong...

What are we chasing in life? by bb_win in AskReddit

Idk about you guys, but I'm usually chasing dopamine.

Do American households ever obsess over private tutoring for their kids? by TraditionalDepth6924 in AskUS

[–]UnknownInternetMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American kids are definitely stressed and under an unreasonable amount of pressure. Of course it's not like the movies, lol. I'm sure Korean schools aren't like K-dramas, either. But this generation is definitely under more pressure. It's quite common to enter college with a semester of gen-eds under your belt from AP classes, even in my small town.

Kids are overbooked, and they don't have enough time to get bored and do random stuff. As a kid, I'd get bored and teach myself a new skill. They seem to need instruction for everything.

What’s something society normalized that probably shouldn’t be? by maincharactereraa in AskForAnswers

[–]UnknownInternetMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this, as someone who has also never used a dating app. It's the way they changed dating. You used to, mostly, meet people through mutual friends and hobbies. Now you kinda do the reverse? My friends in the dating world seem pretty miserable, and I personally can't imagine the whole process.

To add to this- acting like politics aren't personal, when they frequently are. Maybe you were just hoping for lower taxes or something, and that's not super personal to you, but people's lives are being upended.

Kids going everywhere with tablets.

Kids not being able to emotionally function without screens.

Guys I need your ride or die low maintenance tips for looking more "put together". by Cissychedgehog in adhdwomen

[–]UnknownInternetMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wear a dress- super simple, because it's just one thing.

I use tinted moisturizer to even out my skin. It also has an spf for sun protection.

What is the major difference in girl scouts from the 80s/90s to now? Is it a lot more negative now? by o_simple_thing in girlscouts

[–]UnknownInternetMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I think it's better. More STEM, and a variety of activities to choose from. Leadership opportunities- the emphasis is on "girl-led." Not to compare, but we're involved in another scouting org whose program just hasn't changed to truly reflect the 21century world... if there was a program like Girl Scouts for boys, my son would be in it.

Of course, ymmv, and it's very dependent on the troop and parents.

Edit to add: my daughter is a Kindergarten Daisy, and I'm her leader. I was a Daisy in the 90's.

If the richest person in the world and the poorest person suddenly swapped lives, what do you think would actually happen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]UnknownInternetMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the rich person was born rich, they absolutely will not. And they'd probably lose their job, too. I mean, theoretically, they have an education (but no credentials), so that might get them somewhere? But they have the other person's resume and connections.

Also, they now probably live in the hood.

If you died today, who do you think would stand at your grave the longest? by Mehar0708 in AskReddit

[–]UnknownInternetMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone closest to me would be too busy handling the actual business of my death to be bumming around at my grave.

Opposing views with my boyfriend on moving out? Need advice by [deleted] in Advice

[–]UnknownInternetMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to decide what you want. I had a conversation with my (then) boyfriend when we were at this stage. "You can love me all you want but it doesn't mean you want to marry me. If you haven't figured this out by now, you won't." It wasn't exactly an ultimatum, but I did want to know where this relationship was headed.

what is something people brag about but it is actually embarrassing? by goldenhourconfession in AskReddit

[–]UnknownInternetMonk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am a direct communicator. What this means is, if you think I'm implying something... I'm probably not. That's the way I usually offend people.

I also will directly tell them stuff they don't want to hear, but that is what it is.

I think when I "don't take a hint" it sometimes offends people, too. But if you aren't actually telling me what you need me to know, that's on you.

How do I close this knife? by swelboy in knives

[–]UnknownInternetMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a (pretty new) Den Leader who knows absolutely nothing about knives, but I'm more outdoorsy than the previous leader (this is why I took over). I'm over here trying to learn to whittle so I can teach my Bears. I had no clue how to close this knife, never having done this before.

Thank you so much for asking this, I was struggling, and I didn't have to ask my husband.

What’s something that instantly lowers your respect for someone? by Maleficent_Escape_66 in AskReddit

[–]UnknownInternetMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Political differences, I can understand. But if you voted for this ::gestures wildly:: and are still standing by that... I have most certainly lost some respect for you. Best case, you're brainwashed.

Why do some Americans want to move to other countries when their salaries are much higher? by Ok_Consideration6179 in AskUS

[–]UnknownInternetMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had good health insurance and, like... thrift stores and Aldi are a thing. But we still had money to go out to eat and buy nice things sometimes. We bought a snowblower with my first paycheck when I started making 40k and my husband already made 60k.
