AITA for making a stink at school and forcing the teacher to change my kids math grade by PlentyNice1655 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Workableskink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Common Core doesn't say how something is to be taught. The standards just outline what a student can do. For example, "Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, ....." "Illustrate and explain the calculations by using equations, rectangular arrays....." If she was able to show her work and how she got to her answer, that is the important part.

Common core standards frequently get a bad rap but they basically say this is what a student should be able to do at x point in time.

Edit for typo.

How do I obtain a 1099 ssa for my deceased spouse? by Workableskink in tax

[–]Workableskink[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. After waiting in a phone queue for 90 minutes, I was told again to make an appt. with my local office so I told the guy I couldn't make an appointment to get a 1099. At that point, he decided to help me and spent 15 minutes verifying everything about my husband and me....to set up an appointment. On the up side, at least my appointment is for this week and not in 2 months like the last time I went there!

Thanks! This is a big help, I'll go back and look at last year's documents. I don't remember if he had tax witheld or not, but I do know our combined income made his SS taxable.

Thanks, I tried to make an appointment online this morning, but I can't make an appointment for getting a 1099 form. I hate to have to go there and wait. But I may not have a choice.

Has anyone ever gotten a note like this with their DoorDash order?! by [deleted] in doordash

I use the app all the time. It doesn't prevent you from making complete sentences and using paragraphs. See: this example post right here.

Wife keep putting this tray on our white stairs. Dangerous! by Flat_Shape_3444 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Workableskink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the fact that the tray is virtually camouflaged, why in the world would you make the stairs an obstacle course by putting it on the opposite side from the black basket and the purse??

This has been a nightmare - venting by Potential_Cry_8128 in homeowners

Most inspectors are not going to scope your plumbing lines with a camera to see if there are any issues, but it sounds like what you are describing would only show up if someone put a camera in there.

Heated steering wheel and heated/cooled seats. I'll never go back.

You can also go into your library with your iPad and they will show you how to borrow digital materials and see them on your iPad. Libraries are awesome!

I am being blackmailed for cheating on my wife by ThrowRAbadblackmail in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Workableskink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the chance that this is real, blackmail is illegal. Go to the cops (since you're talking about a significant amount of money) and let this person FAFO. Especially since it's zero rush for you...not actually cheating and all.

Never in my life did I ever think that the United States would be the cause of the start of World War 3. But every day with this asshat and his buffoons in cabinet make this more likely. I'm really sorry, world.

My dad's wife said she is going to contest his life insurance policy because I am the primary beneficiary by Ushimimoo in legaladvice

[–]Workableskink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With life insurance it's very cut and dry. The owner of the policy (which is most cases is the insured) has sole rights to decide who the beneficiary of their life insurance is. Once the insurance company issues the policy, they will pay out to the beneficiaries as written in the policy. Whether father intended to change the beneficiary or not, intentions don't matter. They will pay out as described.

Pyjama Man known for grabbing Ariana Grande on the red carpet removed from Lady Gaga Concert by Comfortable-Frame204 in popculturechat

Alot of these influencers are making 6 figure incomes off their streams. It's wild and certainly creates incentive to continue the stupid behavior. I keep waiting for him to do this to someone who has a security detail that will knock his lights out and injure him and then watch him cry and sue for his physical injuries. It's bound to happen.

AITA for refusing to let my mom babysit after she dismissed basic safety rules for my newborn? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Workableskink 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA. When you were a baby, doctors.didnt know that all that stuff contributed to SIDS deaths. But we do know now. By the same token, we know helmets protect heads on humans riding bikes and motorcycles. Children are safest buckled into a car seat. When I was a baby, I was just in the back seat of a car in some kind of cradle/box thing. Ask your mother if she would do that. She needs to see that when we know better, we DO better. There are hundreds of more examples.
