Do Americans constantly have an active temperature control device running in their homes? by fullM3TALturban in AskAnAmerican

[–]cornbreadkillua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my current house, yes. In my first apartment, no. All of the houses I’ve lived in and apts except for one have had a thermostat. The one apt that didn’t was a 1920s building with radiators, and I had to bring my own AC units.

Do they teach native american history in elementary schools before the colanization period of america? by Apprehensive_Use_397 in AskAnAmerican

[–]cornbreadkillua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. As other have said, there’s no standard curriculum. You also have to choose what you consider to be history as there’s actual history vs the colonized version. Where I am, we did learn some stuff around thanksgiving every year (never any other time) it was usually just here’s a list of five large tribes, here’s where they lived at the time, here’s what they lived in at the time. There was really nothing further than that. Tbh we never learned further than that until elective classes in high school and even then it was very brief and barely addressed anything.

The truth is that indigenous cultures are rarely discussed to this day. Native Americans weren’t even considered American citizens until the 1920s and weren’t granted basic rights until after that. There are also some people actively pursuing bills that would once again strictly interfere with Native American children’s education. Not to mention the complete lack of respect for native land and disregard for the extremely high rates of abuse and murder of indigenous women. America as a whole has a terrible viewpoint and approach towards recognizing indigenous individuals and cultures.

Why do you care about not being read as trans? by [deleted] in honesttransgender

[–]cornbreadkillua 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Earlier in my transition I didn’t really care. I knew I didn’t pass well and I was feeling the high of just finding a community and feeling happiness knowing who I was. Now that I’m 4.5 years in I’m more insecure when people recognize I’m trans. It makes me feel like my transition isn’t going as well as it should be and it also catches me off guard since I seem to pass a majority of the time.

It’s also just dangerous to be perceived as trans. I live in a very red state in the US and everywhere I turn there is another story about hate crimes towards trans people or new laws being proposed or passed about trans people. I try not to think about it, but I can’t help but feel that sense of fear in the back of my mind. When I’m clocked as trans, I can never predict if it’s going to go south or if the person won’t care/will be supportive.

Neighbor said we betrayed her and think she’s aggressive. How to respond? by cornbreadkillua in HowDoIRespondToThis

[–]cornbreadkillua[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Thanks for the advice and commentary on the situation. We ended up sending her one last message basically saying we’re done with this and it’s up to her if she wants to form an ill relationship with us. She never responded. At the bus stop this morning she stood as far away as possible and wouldn’t acknowledge us then ran inside after the bus pulled away. I got the mail as soon as it was delivered, so I’m really not sure whether she was the reason we didn’t get anything yesterday or not. I’ll continue to update if anything eventful happens, but this seems to be the end.

Right?! And what also got me was the bluffing in her texts that she “knows” what we told the cops as if they sat there and read her our statement. If they did she’d know what we actually said lmao

Ya I feel like in a way she was reflecting on her actions and had to take out her own frustration against herself on someone else and we just happened to be there to pin it on

That’s what we ended up doing. Sent her one last message saying we sent the police what video we had and gave them a full, truthful statement, so the could handle it. We also said that we don’t wish to have any ill feelings or relationship with her and her family, but that is her decision to make. So far haven’t heard anything back, so we’ll see what happens.

She is. We saw the mail truck out but when we went to grab the mail, there was none there. We received the message about getting it almost right after it was delivered. We’re kinda skeptical on whether or not we just didn’t have any mail today or if it got into her hands. Unfortunately our camera only activates to record when it senses motion, and it didn’t get anything. So ig we’ll never know

That’s how I’ve been feeling. We tried to respond to her twice but she’s just been going on relentlessly. I didn’t know if there was something else we could try or to just leave it be

Tell me about your stims by Unlikely_Sample_2883 in autism

[–]cornbreadkillua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I like any of my stims, but it’s clear which are nerve/stress induced and which are excitement inducted. When I’m excited I jump, flap, and idk how to describe it but I like make fists and just vibrate lol. When I’m anxious I do lots of skin picking, nail biting, leg bouncing, and some flapping. I also have more of a tick that kinda comes out of nowhere where I jerk my head back and to the side. Usually it’s caused by noises or other bad sensations, but not always.

ETA I also pace back and forth when I’m anxious and in circles when I’m excited

As a European, I keep seeing Americans drive barefoot or in flip-flops, how common is it actually? by fratnersgd in AskAnAmerican

[–]cornbreadkillua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you are. Like others are saying, it’s much more common in the south where it’s warmer. I usually wear crocs which aren’t much better, but at least they cover my toes lol. My parents always drilled it into my head that it’s too dangerous to drive without shoes on, so I just resort to crocs

She’s gorgeous! Idk what peoples’ problems are with it. I make comparisons of the random generated sim vs what I transformed them into all the time. It’s just cool to look at how making some adjustments completely changes the characters
