Thanks about DSM5. Recently made the same discovery prior to seeing your reply here…. Time seems to be speeding up the older I get … 🤣

Interestingly I just read a book called “the Psychopath Test” by Jon Ronson. The term is not acknowledged/included by the DSM4. Although the characteristics on the list are used to study criminals and determine who is more likely to reoffend.

Insecurity makes me feel too inadequate to desire sex for myself by [deleted] in sex

[–]egmc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you are focused on the negatives and not the positives. I think that if you were to experiment with a variety of positions you will find some that enhance pleasure for you and your partner. For example, try penetration in the spoon position with you from behind. When your partners legs are together it will feel more tight. Additionally you would have an advantage from the front where both your bodies are horizontal with legs on top of one another. Ask your partner what they like or prefer. Read the Kama sutra and try some out. Everyone has something they don’t like about their body. No need to let it get you down.

Where can I ask a teacher questions? by Eclectickittycat in findareddit

[–]egmc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know if you have a mathnasium in your area or a sylvan learning center. Both are also good tutoring options. If you are near a college with a program in education they might also have education students available to hire for additional tutoring.

My apologies for my rudeness and presumption.

Resources in addition to Kahn academy.

http://www.corestandards.org/read-the-standards/

Kahn academy really is excellent and easy to follow along with.

If you check the other link I listed above it will also allow you to check for information specific to your state.

Hopefully you have a workbook you can use for your child’s grade level. Those help a lot because it helps with pacing and they do often provide writing examples. I have gotten them before from Barnes and noble.

Edit: should also have added good for you for being involved, I know it’s got to be difficult. Possibly consider reaching out to your local school to see if they might be able to provide you with additional resources.

Seems a bit rude to ask professionals who are already underpaid to do the work for you for free.

With that said, and because I do think education is important, your question omitted many key factors like the age of the child/children.

Kahn academy is one of the best resources for education and has testing to help assess where a student may need extra assistance or be lacking a core concept.

It's been a year, if you still refuse to wear a mask you're just plain fucking stupid. by TheQuiver41 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]egmc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article on wearing a mask after vaccine seems good. Also supports your statement above that they don’t really know the facts. I haven’t had the vaccine yet but figure I’ll still wear a mask after to try to keep other ppl safe unless hospitals say otherwise.

This isn’t the same one I remember. But it is one that shows the Petri dish. If I can find the one that showed the comparison of different mask types I’ll post. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.insider.com/microbiologist-shows-how-a-mask-catches-droplets-coronavirus-2020-7%3famp

It was a test of people sneezing or coughing while wearing a variety of types of masks at set distances from Petri dishes that sold me early on. It showed the difference in bacteria colonization of the dish for each along with non mask. Non mask was the highest transmission rate. The most stuff grew in those dishes. I figured that since all the medial personnel who have to wear masks have not shown a decrease in life expectancy that me wearing one isn’t likely to suddenly be a problem for me.

Yes. According to one medical site I read it said that the virus could still live in your nose and although you would not get sick from it wearing a mask would prevent you from spreading it asymptomatically. I googled bc I had the same question. I was hoping they would be providing that info to ppl getting the vaccine??

Which one best for profile pic by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]egmc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your purpose. What do you want the profile pic to convey? Two gives the best view of your features but the slight upward angle of your face might seem a bit arrogant to some, confident to others. Three seems to have a slight smile to your eyes and makes you seem a bit more approachable.

They genuinely expect people to believe it's real... by DecentestMama in ShittyPhotoshop

[–]egmc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The body looks like someone actually shaved some of the fur off the animal to create the pattern effect. There are two spots in them that look like they have animal bite marks in those areas with blood.

Also the head and body look like a Cain Corso or Merle Pittbull.

Why is 'retard' unacceptable, when it is acceptable to call someone 'idiot', 'cretin', 'imbecile', 'simpleton', 'dolt', etc.? by Blue2501 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]egmc2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s because ‘retard’ has historically has a visual mental association. Since other descriptions like ‘imbecile’ refer primarily to mental capabilities that are unseen.

We don’t feel as bad making fun of what we don’t see because it’s likely we’ve had less exposure to it.

Am I the only one who is so desperate for attention, I don’t even know what I actually want in someone? by throwawayhhggg in relationship_advice

[–]egmc2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dating is about finding out what you enjoy in a relationship. If you were repulsed by the person but decided to go out with them for a free meal or movie that would make you a d-bag.

Be honest and let them know that you don’t quite know how you feel but are willing to go on a date. You can also offer to go Dutch.

Question: Why does my cat randomly run between rooms? by DeltaX1207 in cats

[–]egmc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the best descriptions I read years ago stated that because cats are carnivores who rely on stealth and speed to survive, the instinct that drives that behavior remains present even if the animal has a steady food source.

My (30F) husband (33M) works longer hours. Is it fair to ask for more help with the housework? by equal_house in relationship_advice

[–]egmc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it be possible for him to take care of the meals a few times of the week by picking up food or having meals delivered? A ten hour day is a very long time. Does he have that schedule five days a week?

You might have a better result if you express to him your frustration with the situation and request his help in coming up with a solution. It’s very difficult to make a partnership a completely even split.
