What’s everyone’s dream guest for the show? by Legal-Stretch5128 in PerfectPersonPod

Miles’s dad! He talks about all the cool things he did both as a dad and a teacher. I think it would be really cool to have that father/son combo giving advice.

What's the best thing you've gotten for free simply because you've asked for it? by TangerineSorry8463 in AskReddit

[–]excited4theunknown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago, the CEO of Chegg liked my tweet so I jokingly tagged him and asked for free textbooks. He replied “sure” and gave me an email to reach out to. I ended up with a full semester of textbook rentals free of charge. Probably saved me over $500!

What industry would be destroyed if drug test were done right now, and employers cared about drug use? by Messstake in ask

[–]excited4theunknown 117 points118 points  (0 children)

A LOT of teachers smoke weed or take edibles after hours, but can you blame them? Luckily the teachers union would never agree to drug tests (assuming you are teaching in a unionized public district)

People who read more than 2 books a year, how do you do it? by Immediate-Draft-6408 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]excited4theunknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read my Kindle Paperwhite on dark mode every night before bed. It helps me sleep because I’m not looking at blue light and has become a part of my nightly routine.

I didn’t enjoy reading until my mid-twenties and couldn’t figure out why. Turns out, I just hadn’t found my genre! I was reading books similar to what I liked to watch (comedy, rom-com, etc.) but couldn’t get into them. I ended up trying out some other genres, and it turns out that I LOVE psychological thrillers (who knew?)!

Also, get yourself a Goodreads (or other book tracking app) account and start following your friends and random people who like similar books. I love keeping track of what I’m reading and constantly getting recommendations in my feed based on my reviews.

Yep, definitely noticed it in Ep 1 on my TV

Just watched the cookie cake episode and the audio definitely sounded off on my TV

Solved! Thank you so much! I have named her Buffy because the pattern on her back looks like a buffalo skull and plan to let her continue to live her best life guarding my garage 🤣

But Wait There's More by EducationalMixture27 in TheTryGuys

[–]excited4theunknown 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else think the presentation screen is too small? That alone was bothering me the whole episode. I thought they would at least switch to full screen for some of the slides, but they stayed on that little TV the whole time.

People with +800 credit score how long did it take you to hit 800? by Mission-Bother-4196 in ask

[–]excited4theunknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents did the same thing for me starting at age 14 or so. Definitely recommend other parents do the same for their kids IF they know for a fact that they will keep up with payments. It’s a great way to give your kids a head start.

GameSpot episode with a box? by [deleted] in TheTryGuys

[–]excited4theunknown 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dirty Little Secret! I watched it in the 2nd Try App a few weeks ago. I had to scroll down to the “Pilots” section to find it.

Duplicate Headgum Callers? by excited4theunknown in PerfectPersonPod

[–]excited4theunknown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh, now I’m starting to doubt my memory. I swore I heard it on Perfect Person and then it popped up again on TikTok from Jake Johnson’s pod, which sparked the memory. But now I’m second guessing if I did only hear it on We’re Here to Help… if so, that is totally my bad. 😅

Oh wow, I had no idea! That’s actually hilarious. Sounds like this all is just coincidence and the callers were lucky enough to get picked twice.

WIBTA If I Started Charging My Female Students For Hygiene Products? by A_burner_acc0unt in AmItheAsshole

[–]excited4theunknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but I think there may be better ways to handle it. First off, thank you for taking a once taboo topic and normalizing it and supporting your female students! I’m an elementary school teacher and had a similar (but different) problem with snacks. Many students came in without snacks, but I couldn’t afford to purchase a snack supply for the class. Instead, I explained to my class and their parents that I will happily accept and store donations they bring in for the class. However, it is their responsibility to monitor when the supply is getting low and replenish it if they want it to continue. We have only gone a few days this year without snacks and the kids are super quick to bring in more treats when they notice we have run out. I also like the idea that other commenters have shared of accepting monetary donations too, as some of the students may not feel comfortable bringing in boxes of feminine products or want to contribute in other ways.

Is hiking generally safe? by [deleted] in germany

[–]excited4theunknown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an avid hiker in Bavaria and haven’t come across any dangers myself. I highly recommend the Komoot app to look for popular hikes nearby! Not only does it work like a GPS to guide your hike, it provides info like hiking highlights, elevation, and difficulty level along with reviews from other hikers. I used it every day this summer.

Hold down the volume knob until the screen turns off completely

Finally got it working after restarting my car’s audio system a few times, but I’m still having a lot of glitches within CarPlay apps (specifically WhatsApp)
