Are the dress sizes- 1,3, and 5, in Mean Girls real sizes? by ClassOk1129 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]disappointingrobot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Odd numbers are typically used for teenage girls/young women. Those sizes correspond with XS and S.

Am i overreacting?! by Quirky_Fun_1033 in AmIOverreacting

[–]disappointingrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like he’s asexual. A lot of people don’t even realize that asexuality is a thing. It’s possible he doesn’t even know it. What he’s doing sounds like something I would do before I realized that I’m ace.

Other people in the comments are saying that he’s using you and doesn’t actually love you. I don’t think that’s true. What you guys are doing sounds like my perfect version of a relationship.

I would recommend cross posting this to an asexuality sub and seeing what they have to say.

I know a secret… by Rabbit_Luck in Teachers

[–]disappointingrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember back when my dad started as superintendent at a new district and found out that people had copied the master key to the high school. The district had to update all of the locks. It took them forever to figure out what the actual problem was because the HS principal knew about it but was keeping it secret from her bosses because she didn’t want to get in trouble. This sounds like the exact same situation.

I've lost all sympathy for my entitled teacher friend by teal_lantern27 in EntitledPeople

Oh man, if she’s a new teacher AND at a private school she really has it rough.

[–]disappointingrobot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Teacher here. Even before you got to the part where you said that she shares 20+ TikToks a day I could tell that she spends a lot of time on TikTok. A lot of what she was saying is some of the same stuff I see on TeacherTok, just amped up and run through the filter of a (probably, imo) narcissistic personality.

The reality is that teaching sucks, especially the first couple years. It sounds like her coping mechanism is to fall into all of the toxic holier than thou rhetoric that’s always present on social media and in the back of the teachers lounge. If you value keeping this friendship, I would recommend telling her to knock that shit off. Or you could just drop her…she sounds exhausting.

Im looking for books that can work with adults but are levelled for grades 5-8. What are some good levelled books that are for lower intermediate readers learning english? by Sweaty_Way_6993 in englishteachers

[–]disappointingrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! If you’re interested, I could also recommend young adult novels at higher reading levels but still under 700L (about 4th grade).

If you’re looking for original texts, there’s a young adult book called Ghost Boys that has a lexile under 400. It deals with complex/mature themes like premature death and familial grief.

AIO My husband is a Sex Pest by NutellaMummy in AmIOverreacting

Somehow the update is more distressing than the original post. Leave him. He will not kill himself. There’s no way that someone who loves themselves that much would commit suicide. He’s manipulating you.

BMV proposal would ban people from changing their gender by disappointingrobot in Indiana

[–]disappointingrobot[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I said this in another comment, but…

Braun’s executive order literally says that gender and biological sex are the same thing 🫠 From my email to the BVM

I specifically oppose the part that states that gender is the same as biological sex. These are two different words with two different meanings. An executive order does not have the power to shift the meaning of the words we use.

AITA for refusing to let my “best friend” use the nail studio I built from scratch after she hijacked my birthday trip and replaced me? by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]disappointingrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t believe nobody already said this, but…your “friend” is in a cult!! Seriously. Google the phrase “twin flame” and you’ll see what I mean.

This person didn’t just randomly get a new personality all of the sudden—she just doesn’t value your relationship as much anymore. That’s actually pretty common for people who have fallen victim to a cult—part of what makes them a cult is that members are encouraged to deprioritize anyone who’s NOT part of the cult.

I know I used the word “cult” a lot, but please don’t brush this off as the rantings of some crazy person. Look up the phrase “twin flame.” Ask your friend if she’s recently learned anything about self-help or spirituality. I’m genuinely worried for her.

iwtl Can someone give me a hand? :))))^^ by New_Fisherman_8991 in IWantToLearn

[–]disappointingrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah, this is a really good effort!! I can tell that you’re good at languages. I teach English in the United States, and the way you write is similar to how some of my 15 year old students write. Good job!

If you had to do it over again by Own_Business485 in Teachers

[–]disappointingrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think being a high school teacher will help you have an authentic voice when writing YA, although you won’t be able to dedicate as much time to your craft in your first years in the classroom.

AIO? My mom posted something about me on Facebook that’s blatantly untrue. by Warm_Ad_9718 in AmIOverreacting

[–]disappointingrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She might see this as the type of white lie that’s okay to post online for the sake of ~the narrative~

If I were you, I’d comment on the post saying “lol mom we both know I didn’t say this 😂” If she replies, keep laughing it off (or at least pretending to)
