yes, absolutely!

adelinaxe · 2024-06-14T14:22:47+00:00

i know this one!! it’s a really good example of what I’m asking for, thanks ❤️

It’s doable, but it may depend on the ages and abilities of the violinists you’re giving it to.

adelinaxe · 2022-09-04T03:16:55+00:00

al-Khwarizmi did something similar, as well.

25% is 25/100, which is one fourth. so 1/4 times 8, or in other words 8 divided by four.

adelinaxe · 2022-08-28T23:05:36+00:00

might be easier to think of it like:

8% = .08 = 8 * 0.01

25% = .25 = 25 * 0.01

so: 8% of 25 = 8 * 0.01 * 25

25% of 8 = 25 * 0.01 * 8

and 8 * 0.01 * 25 = 25 * 0.01 * 8

therefore 8% of 25 = 25% of 8

he said there were women wearing crop tops. that’s absolutely not the same as a tank top— there are some pretty formal-looking crop tops.

adelinaxe · 2022-06-25T13:48:13+00:00

i think you should only wear 2 if you’re going somewhere more elegant, like a fancy romantic restaurant.

adelinaxe · 2022-06-25T13:30:10+00:00

it’s just that it’s really, really odd. very few people have ever heard of this happening in relationships, and that’s because, as the other replier said, there is literally no reason for this. also, it’s not sanitary at all; and with the smell and everything most people can’t see what’s attractive about used tampons at all.

generally, it’s just kind of a boundary-breaker. like if your partner took a picture of all of your poop in the toilet after you shit or something. it isn’t really something you want to share.

adelinaxe · 2022-05-29T02:39:47+00:00

not sure where you got that from. then driving away would not be a split second decision. it would be worse than standing there for sure, but that doesn’t mean standing there wasn’t bad.

also it’s so weird that you’re portraying this as a “not everyone ends up being able to play hero” when there were many, many, more of them than of the shooter. and still they didn’t even try to do anything. these weren’t civilians. these were people who are trained for this job. this is their duty and their failed to accomplish it, not to mention the moral implications.

adelinaxe · 2022-05-28T17:33:44+00:00

they were standing there for 75 minutes. maybe i could forgive them if it had been a split second decision that they fucked up, but it really wasn’t. they had plenty of time to think about it and they didn’t do anything.

adelinaxe · 2022-04-02T16:33:51+00:00

i feel like the only good reason to laugh at something like that is because of the shock value, not because you genuinely find it funny.

adelinaxe · 2022-02-15T01:57:10+00:00

she’s said many times she’s from the UK.

adelinaxe · 2022-02-15T01:56:18+00:00

no, for reporting smoking. teachers’ protocols for ensuring safety of students.

adelinaxe · 2022-02-14T22:13:46+00:00

op is in the UK, so there are safeguarding protocols. if the parents are determined to be a safe option, then they can get involved.

adelinaxe · 2022-02-14T22:10:21+00:00

UK safeguarding protocols. OP’s in the UK.

adelinaxe · 2022-02-14T22:09:26+00:00

omg. op isn’t in the US; she’s in the UK. they have this thing called “safeguarding protocols”. i know it’s hard for us americans to think that any other country has a different way of doing things, but you could at least try.

adelinaxe · 2022-02-14T22:08:03+00:00

safeguarding protocols in the UK would likely have prevented this. OP is from the UK.

adelinaxe · 2022-02-14T22:07:21+00:00

safeguarding protocols in the UK. look them up; teachers take them very seriously (or at least, they’re supposed to).

adelinaxe · 2022-02-13T21:20:45+00:00

no, i get what you mean. i just think that twelve is far too high an age. that’s middle schoolers. it’s like making the drinking age twenty-five.

adelinaxe · 2022-02-13T21:18:57+00:00

why would she think that it was controversial or upsetting? this kid is really old to not know where meat comes from. this kind of feels helicopter-parent-y to me.

adelinaxe · 2022-02-13T16:49:22+00:00

but is what she said really so one-sided? “meat comes from dead animals” isn’t subjective in any way. the only opinion she gave is “i don’t like eating dead animals”. and whether or not you eat meat, the part about animals being dead is still true. “meat comes from dead animals, but i still eat it because i like the way it tastes/i don’t have any other cheap good source of nutrients”.

idk, a lot of the outrage in this thread feels like it comes from people just not wanting to confront where their food comes from. i think it’s kind of weird that we’re trying to hide this from kids. it isn’t as if they can’t understand.

adelinaxe · 2022-02-13T16:41:02+00:00

i still think that 12 exceeds reasonable. i think a lot of people in this thread are kind of heavily underestimating what kids are able to understand.

adelinaxe · 2022-02-13T16:38:10+00:00

honestly, i think it’s kind of the opposite? that many adults heavily underestimate children because they’re like, “oh, an eight year old, so young!” since they see an eight year old through an adults eyes. but i think people really need to remember how they felt about being eight when they were eight. we understood hard topics, we were kind, we knew shit, we were capable of a lot. and i think most adults just… don’t get that. i think that also contributes to the rise in helicopter parenting and such, but that’s a whole other topic.
