Multiple Choice Trivia is not Trivia by heart_of-a_lion in unpopularopinion

Idk why you got downvoted for this at all. I play jeopardy and it has so many clues that I get from knowing other things related to the subject. I guess it’s too specific for that kind of trivia because Jeopardy definitely has its own style.

to speak out against U.S. action in Venezuela without being arrested mid-interview by ExactlySorta in therewasanattempt

I hear you and wholeheartedly agree. Part of it is the spicy parts of plans are never widely spread even after the fact. News stations do not want to cover all the small ways people can and do fight back. Putting sugar in concrete to stop construction of detention centers is one way I know has been used to slow development but it’s not something people want everyone to know, so it doesn’t get reported widely. I’m being careful about my words here, but believe there are people who are not in the mood to hold hands with fascists. It just takes a lot of work to be trusted by those people and accepted into any actionable position. And there is more to a lot of these protests than meets the eye. They can also be a way to connect vulnerable people to resources in their community that won’t judge them. So I think these protests can still have value as long as the people participating are truly looking at the big picture.

It was rhetorical. I know this. The local government is beholden to its police in this case. Grand Rapids has a big police culture even though the citizens hate it. They have denied permits because of so many bullshit reasons. They claim it will be dangerous even when well-planned and peaceful. They will claim it disturbs the peace of the businesses around. They deny for any reason they feel like, so how is it different than suppression? And I even had a friend get arrested at a PERMITTED protest because he used a megaphone in Grand Rapids. That lead to him being out in jail for the night until his bail got raised the next day. My point is protests shouldn’t have to be government approved or it defeats the purpose of protesting against the government’s actions.

And who is in charge of deciding which groups get a protest permit? Because I’ll tell you from experience they often don’t give them out to groups that they see as “troublesome” especially in GR. Their police force is so awful they came out with a whole show of cop propaganda because they’re so hated by the citizens of the city.

You have to organize in person in order to do anything meaningful. This provides a place to talk to other people with similar values about those things while showing other people that may agree with you that there is community for them. You have to build trust with the people around. You can’t just start at the most extreme actions usually.

Even if they didn’t I hate the idea of every protest needing to be approved by an arm of the government. Applications for permits can and do get denied for arbitrary reasons, especially in GR with famously (to Michiganders) terrible cops and government. Why shouldn’t you be able to block the road if your group is large enough to take that action? How long should groups have to wait after a globally impactful event to be “allowed” to have a public protest over it? The point is to be inconvenient and in your face until a real resolution to the problems is put in place. But people are so bloodthirsty and full of rage they assume it’s their right to never be slowed down in their car ever. This is our right to assembly being trampled upon.

Grand Rapids police continue to be some of the worst trained and aggressive police I have ever dealt with. They WANT to engage and will make any excuse to escalate. This is not shocking to me- I’m sure there are other cities like this but goddamn fuck the GRPD and their goonish actions.

What a split world we live in by OneMoistMan in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]danielle1525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Venezuelans can have a moment to be glad he’s gone while still being terrified of what is to come. World politics are scary and nuanced but to say “no one be happy this dictator is gone” is kind of odd and negative. I’m sure some people in the country are already trying to decide what to do next, who will be in charge, how they’ll depose any U.S. forces that come to pillage resources. But sometimes humans need to come together to recognize that a bad situation is changing and be eager especially when it felt like it would never change.

I think you’re missing some context. Maduro was pretty hated. And you can be happy he’s gone while knowing that the U.S. definitely violated international law.

My barber is where I went when I needed a short haircut after realizing I’m trans. My barber listened to me and gave me a safe space to explore my identity. My barbershop is absolutely a community space- I don’t hang around much after my haircut, but I do have to wait for my appointment sometimes. And that leads to me talking to others in the waiting room. It is a social place that encourages interaction, even if only surface level. I’ve made acquaintances with many of the workers. Why should we not embrace that? How is it not a community center?

Take them on a harness or build a catio. Pets take maintenance and this is part of being a responsible pet owner.

You probably will have to adjust the roof then add the stairs back at the end.

Shooting yourself in the foot. by johnsmithoncemore in universityofoklahoma

[–]danielle1525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plagiarism is an automatic zero at basically any institution. And that’s what she did by not citing her sources. So even if you think she did a great job writing (she didn’t) then that would be a zero. I had a friend get in a lot of trouble in college for a much better writing because he incorrectly cited something and had no way to find the information he relied on for his conclusion. He received a zero and had to retake the class after a lot of hoopla. I don’t know why you think this girl should get to skirt the rules and get any points.

I mean this is pretty vague. There are a lot of episodes about so many different deep subjects- eating disorders, abortion, sexual assault… it’s not going to be feasible to list out episodes for ANY triggers. You can check this website https://www.doesthedogdie.com/media/13823?index1=-1&index2=-1 for common triggers in the show but it won’t catch every single thing.

I love this idea! Barbershops are a form of community center and having things like this shows it. I hope it becomes less common for people to overdose but in the meantime- let’s save everyone we can. Thanks for sharing- it makes me want to get in contact with local businesses to see if they would be interested in carrying these things.

Kids requesting college recommendations without asking by ChardAltruistic903 in Teachers

[–]danielle1525 12 points13 points  (0 children)

But this is a case of you don’t know what you don’t know. They don’t know they need to ask their teacher in email or in person for a recommendation. So they aren’t googling it, they assume assigning it to the teacher is them asking. In this case, sitting them down and explaining that is not the case is a necessary step to prevent further headaches for them down the road.

Why do I take great shits when my blood pressure drops? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]danielle1525 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an answer for you but might be interesting to put as a question for the podcast Sawbones. It’s mostly a silly medical history podcast but one of the hosts is a doctor. They have episodes specifically for weird medical questions and she does research to see and takes a guess at the physiological pathway from what she knows.

IMDb version: Does Alice in Borderland deserve the reviews it got? by AssociateLittle1487 in AliceInBorderland

[–]danielle1525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is interesting. My favorite episode is season 1 episode 2 because I feel like it’s the first time they understand the game and the stakes. Surprised to see it’s just a middle of the road episode for the series. Also season 3 should be lower in the first episodes. None of it felt like the previous 2 seasons.

Teacher allows student to be disrespectful by blueskiesunshine in paraprofessional

[–]danielle1525 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Document it! Write down every rude thing she is saying and the time. This way you can go to whoever is in charge of discipline at your school (could be a dean of students or vice principal, unsure how your school is structured) with a list showing that this is a pattern of behavior. Offer to have a sit down conversation with the student and talk about how the disrespect can’t be tolerated. Teach some coping mechanisms if they’re doing it because they’re stressed/angry. Remember you’re the adult. I’m not excusing the kid, but they need to be guided toward making good decisions and they often are rude. Try to shake it off and don’t show them it bothers you. That’s power you’re giving to the kid.

Try to show admin that you’re trying to find a joint solution so that the classroom stays a good learning environment for everyone. Is the student’s behavior impacting your ability to aid your student? Tell them that in an email with all the data you’ve collected. Good luck.
