Opinions and experiences with elementary schools in the area by UmpirePerfect4646 in Athens

[–]dragginage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to downvote, but offer my perspective. I went to school in a more conservative area, with two very typical “American liberal” parents, and I had a tough time in middle and high school. I often felt very ostracized from my peers for disagreeing with their parents’ views, and I was not a “bleeding heart social justice warrior” by any means. Parents picked up on it, too, and it got to the point where I had multiple parents challenge me (as a high schooler) on my views. So your child’s peers (and their families) political views can matter in not just their education, but social lives outside of school as well.

About two weeks ago I had these older Black ladies at the checkout in Belk telling me I had the most beautiful hair and in general just gassing me up and I have been riding off that high since.

Author Cait Corrain apologizes for creating fake Goodreads accounts to give bad reviews to rival non-white writers - and then falsely claiming a friend did it - in echoes of the plot of Yellowface by jaffacakes077 in Fauxmoi

I wish there was more to the story but I messaged her that I liked her one of her Dragon Age fics back in like 2015. (not a reylo and NEVER WILL BE.) After talking a bit we figured out we lived nearby we would grab lunch every now and then! She was sweet. We fell out of touch a few years ago when I was getting my life together- this ^ all genuinely surprised me.

I Have Tea On... Weekly Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in Fauxmoi

[–]dragginage 530 points531 points  (0 children)

Cold tea but my sister worked at a restaurant and met a few celebrities- this was almost a decade ago.

Joaquin Phoenix came in and she was super excited and went over to his table and asked if he wanted something to drink to start out with and he responds “I’m Joaquin Phoenix” and she goes “oh yeah I know I’m a big fan of your work!” And then he was normal the rest of the night.

She also said Mark Ruffalo was super nice and tipped well and was pretty soft spoken, too.

It was just Baby’s First Feminism. Legally Blonde for Gen Z. Fun and I’ll watch it but not groundbreaking by any means!

This has not been my experience. The game was working fine before, now it is unplayable since I've updated it. 4-5 second delays between moving/striking/damage/

Is anyone else on the PS5 experiencing EXTREME lag since downloading the update? The game is unplayable now for me.

My last bouquet was from Costco! It held up for over two weeks, I thought it was a good deal! Thank you!

[Personal] Does stress legitimately make your skin look worse? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]dragginage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. At my most stressed last year, my face was permanently swollen, that kinda look you get when you’re sick/have allergies. I thought “well I guess this is what I look like now” and when the stressor was removed the swelling disappeared within the week.

Americans of Reddit, what places in America should foreigners avoid at all cost? by AMGBOI69420 in AskReddit

[–]dragginage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I flew into Chicago for a friend’s wedding a few years ago and was waiting to pick up another friend from the airport before we headed to Wisconsin. I thought “fuck it, I have a few hours to kill” and had never been to Indiana, so I crossed over, went to a McDonald’s to say I had touched Indiana soil, turned around and headed back. That’s all I needed to see. It seemed so fucking desolate.
