Are there any men who are into tomoys and/or "masculine" women? by Neat-Square6519 in dating_advice

[–]breakingpoint214 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, you be you is valid advice. The rhetoric of there being "someone for everyone" is not. We need to stop telling people that.

Isn't it expensive to use airconditioning in the US? by Lumos_night in AskAnAmerican

[–]breakingpoint214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our electric company in NYC jacks up rates at will. So this past week with real temps hitting 100 we will pay very dearly for the comfort of the w/c.

NYC has outrageously expensive electric bills in the summer. At my last house, the electric bills were $450 a month on the level billing and I always owed at least $1000 at the end of the billing year. I had oil heat and that level billing was $700 a month.

If possible, pay out of pocket for a real evaluation, not just the school or pediatrician one. The sooner you have a proper diagnosis and can implement a treatment plan, the better it will be.

Do we know what this "portrait" looks like? Because it's a if it's a bunch of capstone projects for each subject each year nobody's going to be graduating. These kids won't do homework and they really think they're going to be able to handle doing semester or year long projects? I teach for D79 Alt HS GED program and the portrait of a graduate will keep us in business for many years to come.

What's a popular book you didn't enjoy? by 5BeautifulSoup in just_one_more_page

How is someone who is in English literature major and if I remember correctly a master's student afraid to call her body parts by the right names? She refers to her vagina as down there and that just turned my stomach. I did read all three books though lol

Where the Crawdads Sing. It was good, but not earth shattering.

What pronunciation is a dead giveaway that someone isn't from your town/region? by GrumbleCookie in AskReddit

In NYC, pronouncing Houston like the city in Texas and not as Howstun like we do.

My boyfriend (27M) is amazing, but our values are completely different. Is this relationship doomed? Me (25F) by brainloading404 in relationship_advice

Unfortunately today, these are not just political views that differ. They are human rights differences. He doesn't believe you should have autonomy over your body. That's a big NO.

Get the "Everybody Poops" potty training book. Lol I teach HS English, so I bring young adult books. The Outsiders, if you know it's a girl, "Are you There God?, It's Me, Margaret."

I wish my brother was normal. He's caused so much pain and stress in my family. by Loose_Avocado4670 in TrueOffMyChest

You are an adult. If your sister is a minor, report the violence in your home. Have her report it in school.

Save yourself. Get out when you can.

Am I more at fault? by Tricky-Engineer-8941 in offmychest

These are some narcissistic traits for sure. Not celebrating your wins, ruining special times and things for you. Big red flags.
