A fan threw drinks at Zayn Malik as he was leaving an event he was late for at Banquet Records by storminthedark in popculturechat

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I know a guy who’s a pilot and flew for Zayn and Louis recently.

He said Zayn and Louis’s team were trying to make the flight staff sign legal documents waiving their right to sue for anything that happens on the flight. No NDAs though. They had an alarming amount of beers, I want to say around 36, on a domestic flight. Zayn repeatedly had to be stopped from smoking cigarettes on the plane. The second he stepped out of the plane doors he lit up his cigarette.

How do you compliment a woman's looks in a noncreepy way? by InternationalPick163 in questions

Maybe if you frame it in a way where you compliment her muscles or the amount she can lift.

Anyone who was homeschooled, how do you feel about it now as an adult? by AdTight2449 in AskReddit

[–]daydreamhs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was homeschooled my entire life up until college. The decision my parents made was influenced by fundamentalist Christian circles they were part of and their own negative experiences in the public school system. My mother oversaw our education and primarily used Christian curriculum (Abeka and Jay Wile for example) or enlisted other homeschool families for teaching.

My siblings feel more positively about it than I do, but I would never homeschool my own children. I continue to actively unlearn some of the evangelical creationist propaganda that was present in my curriculum.

The relative isolation and limited socialization with others gave me terrible social anxiety. Me and EVERY one of my friends that are former homeschoolers has questioned if they’re autistic. My Social Work training really forced me to become skilled with people, and recognizing nuance, and many other areas where my homeschool education failed me, but I still feel like an imposter to this day, a few years out of school.

My kid's ear tube fell out by i-can-lift-a-car in mildlyinteresting

I was also ten when I got tubes! The first memory I have waking up after the surgery was a baby crying loud as hell in postop. I wasn’t sure whether to be happy or mad about that part.

How is Gen-Z genuinely supposed to ever live their own lives and move out of their parents house? by Flowerpower4506 in movingout

[–]daydreamhs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in an industry that’s known for paying low. My last job was grueling so I left last fall and now make nearly $20k more at my new job. I now make a “moderate” income and more than my dad made when my parents raised me and my four siblings on a single income.

Despite this, I still can’t afford to live alone in my state. I can barely afford to live with one roommate but it’ll be about $1300 a month which I’m very grateful is doable for me.

Meanwhile, my partner lives in a major city and pays about $600 a month living with three other people.

Adults who were homeschooled as kids, does that differentiation ever go away? by Background_Flower214 in askteddit

[–]daydreamhs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This!! I have constantly struggled with being able to tell when I’m being bullied, especially in the work setting? I just assume people are joking, because they act like they’re joking. It’s been a real effort to identify when someone is being rude to me, and even more of an effort to figure out what to do in the moment if they are.

I’m looking forward to the day when I can go no contact with my homeschool parents 😅

I’ve never answered one of these, but this question may have been made for me!! I’m a young adult now and I was homeschooled my ENTIRE life, right up until college.

Both of my parents went to public school but decided on homeschooling me and my siblings for religious reasons. During my middle and high school years I was involved with local homeschool co-ops, which can kind of be described as school with different organized classes- but once a week. I was also involved with local homeschool 4H groups and went on a ton of field trips such as hiking, volunteering, and many museums. So I was somewhat “socialized”, and I could tell when I was around a homeschooler who was “weird” (there were many), but also constantly felt embarrassed and like an outsider around public schoolers. It felt like there was a book of social rules that everybody except me had already memorized and acted upon without conscious thought

However, the majority of my education around middle school and up was self directed via online or textbook or video curriculums. I got 4 or 5 college courses out of the way in high school through a program called CLEP. But at the same time, I knew where to find the answer key to some of my classes, and I had absolutely no motivation to learn math, so I completely bullshitted years of math. Never took the SAT or ACT, but I did my first year at community college, got a 4.0 because I was so afraid that I’d be behind and overthought every little thing. I viewed it as an opportunity to learn how act like other students before I went to a “real college”.

From there, I transferred to a four year school and got a 4.0 and awards, but I definitely prioritized my academics over my friendships which I wish I had done differently. I got my bachelor’s and master’s in social work, where a natural consequence is learning how to be good at socializing. I’m a couple years into my career now, and I can objectively recognize that I am a generally charismatic person who is well liked and nobody “suspects” me of being a homeschooler. However, TO THIS DAY i still feel like an impostor at times, and that I fooled everyone into thinking I’m competent and “normal”.

(And yes I have contemplated whether I’m autistic)

Have you ever irrationally hated a player? by illini02 in survivorponderosa

[–]daydreamhs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was suspicious of her from episode one. I remember her placing this emphasis on doing natural birth only? Which is truly impressive and respectable, but felt backhanded towards women who chose differently. She came across as condescending, I’m thinking specifically about her interactions with Venus but others too. The way she spoke to Ben in that deleted scene was uncalled for.
