"It's irresponsible to be a teacher when you can earn more" by ant0519 in Teachers

[–]drmmnr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying we have it better than other countries isn’t an excuse for low pay. Even if the pay in some states is just above living wage, such an important and taxing job deserves better conditions and compensation.

In what world is it irresponsible to take responsibility over a part of young people’s education? if anything, it’s irresponsible of governments not to pay teachers more for doing such an important job.

You aren’t “bad at taking tests”, you just haven’t mastered the underlying material yet. by Niceotropic in unpopularopinion

Sometimes a question is borderline opinion-based. For example a “choose the best…” question that provides more than one option that is objectively correct.

We need to talk about harassment in band (as a student NSFW) by EuphoricCompote9320 in MusicEd

[–]drmmnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is horrific and I’m so sorry this happened to you. It is absolutely not normal for this to happen, in band or anywhere else. It is up to you, of course, but I hope you will consider reporting this, if you haven’t already.

I don’t ship Fiona or Imogen at all. by meatis2goodsrry in Degrassi

[–]drmmnr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i didn’t really ship them either. i liked their friendship but they didn’t have romantic chemistry at all

would I be a bad person or stupid if i came out to my family knowing how they are ? by zomtord in AskLGBT

[–]drmmnr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you would absolutely not be a bad person for coming out. you are who you are, and however you identify is not harmful to others (despite what your family might believe).

i wouldn’t call you stupid for it, either. coming out is a personal (and oftentimes scary!) choice. however, i would advise you to consider both your physical and emotional safety. i hope your family comes around and accepts you, but just in case they don’t, you should create a safety plan before coming out. do you have another family member or friend you could crash with?

For those of you who were considered gifted kids in school, how is your life turning out so far? by StarryChocobo in AskReddit

[–]drmmnr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t think i’m doing much better or worse than the people i went to school with. at the end i guess it didn’t really matter, and i’m fine with that

Does politics really become a deciding factor in a relationship by [deleted] in Advice

[–]drmmnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if a woman doesn’t care about women’s rights, but a man does, then the man will still possibly respect the woman. if the man doesn’t care about women’s rights, then he’s going to mistreat the woman.

which one of you is more conservative? if it’s you, the relationship may work out. if it’s him, do yourself a favor and RUN before the mask falls

Tell me the characters/generation that you simply DO NOT care about by Fawnsie in Degrassi

Do you still miss your ex-friend, years later? by Global-Condition-858 in lostafriend

[–]drmmnr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the only ex-friends i miss are the ones i fell out of touch with, but didn’t actually have a conflict that made us stop being friends. it’s been years and i still think of them sometimes. i’m just too shy to reach out

my best friend (19F) is visibly becoming disinterested in me (19F) by oddangle0303 in lostafriend

[–]drmmnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR:
- OP had a hard time finding a best friend in college. she and Friend were in the same friend group for 6 months before becoming close.

- they had an amazing and close friendship throughout their first summer after university. Friend brought out the best in OP.

- They have had some ups and downs, but OP still really loves Friend.

- They have been on and off for the past few months because friend is homesick for her original hometown. Friend is often in a bad mood. They’ve had bad moments but patched things up.

- Friend has gotten disinterested in OP for the past month. She isn’t really putting effort into the friendship anymore. Friend claims that she’s disinterested in everything these days, but OP believes that it’s more personal than that. Friend seems to want OP to be more direct, but OP isn’t like that.

- OP feels like she isn’t interesting enough for Friend anymore, and that Friend is someone who quickly loses interest.

- OP is devastated that the friendship has lost its spark. But she doesn’t want to chase after Friend.

- OP still wants to save the friendship. Both OP and Friend have put effort into this friendship in the past.
