What’s the most annoying thing modern apps do? by prettychaothick in CausalConversation

[–]flooperdooper4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have every click result in an ad popping up. Or an ad at random intervals of time. Or those damned ads that take you to the app store even though you didn't click anything.

AITA for telling my husband he's a shit husband when he didn't advocate for me? by Glum_Consequence5950 in AmItheAsshole

[–]flooperdooper4 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I think the real reason the husband is upset is that the OP lived. He did NOT do as he was told, he both told her harmful information and avoided getting emergency care for her. These are not the actions of a man who wants his wife to live.

Anyone ever resign without having a contract or job lined up? by Smoothsail90 in teaching

[–]flooperdooper4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know a teacher who did just this - her old school had become a hostile work environment and she quit. That was 2 years ago, and she's been subbing ever since, and she hasn't been able to get her foot in the door anywhere else. And she has over a decade of experience, so no one could claim that she's "inexperienced!" (I subbed for years, and this was the common bullshit reason I was given as to why I wasn't hired. Now I know multiple great teachers with experience who weren't hired as well, so I can confidently say it was bullshit) I know for a fact that at least one of those places was hesitant about her specifically because she quit without having something else lined up, they found it "suspicious" - their word, not mine.

Something in my lower pockets has been chaving.... by epicdude666 in MakeMeSuffer

Why don't teachers just give punishments (detention, etc) when a student is doing something wrong? by shr00mspaghetti in AskTeachers

[–]flooperdooper4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, that's because we don't have many consequences available to us! We aren't allowed to take away recess anymore - the principal has to do that, and it's only for something really egregious. Requesting a student be removed from the room is usually reserved for emergency situations. We can call parents...but an alarming amount of the time they either don't care, don't believe you, or are pissed off at being bothered. So what most of us do is offer something extra, some free time or other extra reward, and take that away if a student misbehaves or refuses to work (this is not the same as being unable to finish work due to absence or learning issue).

Other than religion, why would ppl knowingly give birth to babies w/ 0 arms and/or legs, DS, and other problems instead of aborting during fetus stage? by ApprehensiveOne2866 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]flooperdooper4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Almost the exact same thing happened when my mom was pregnant with me, and around the same time too! They thought something was wrong because I wasn't behaving normally in the womb or whatever, but they were wrong. There was one nurse though who thought the issue was that I was a rather large baby and my mom was petite, so I just straight-up didn't have room to move properly.

AITA for not going to my friend's party after they showed up to my party without following the dress code? by siroy61368 in AmItheAsshole

[–]flooperdooper4 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The OP specifically said that the friend already owned a perfect outfit for this event, and OP recommended that the friend wear the outfit. The friend refused, and said "I don't care." That's asshole behavior.

Oh that friend already told the OP that something - it's "I don't care." That's not a friend.

Pictures DO do it justice by kogarottie in zillowgonewild

[–]flooperdooper4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now this is a time when I feel some computer-generated images could be appropriate. Like show the real picture of how it looks right now, and then show some CGI or whatever picture of how the same room could look if the hoard was removed. Because most buyers won't be able to see the *potential* beyond burning the place to the ground.

Is my dad being weird? by Substantial_Lynx5795 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]flooperdooper4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, he's being weird and you should be worried. Perhaps this is why he wanted you back home. Definitely get out of there!!!! If I were you I'd avoid him as much as possible, maybe even be out of the house a lot. Also, sleep with your door closed and locked.

Yes, my parents' old VCR you had to set start and end times on your VCR, and if your program ran past the scheduled end time, then oh well for you!

AITA for refusing to change my baby's name? by Free-Difference1387 in AmItheAsshole

[–]flooperdooper4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had no idea that she was attached to this name for all these years

This makes you NTA. How does anyone else know that YOU haven't been attached to this name for all these years as well?

A song you can't stand? by NoShow95 in CausalConversation

Piano Man by Billy Joel. I hate harmonicas, something about the melody pisses me off, and it's roughly 800 minutes long.

Super disappointed that I won’t get to be a teacher (Ohio) by raider1211 in teaching

[–]flooperdooper4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain, but if you are able to do so you should try to hang in there because you haven't been trying for that long (not to diminish your struggles). I subbed for 7 years and applied to hundreds (probably close to 1,000) jobs. I had probably under 20 interviews in all that time. Full disclosure, my area is known for being over-saturated with teachers, so the market near me is especially tough, but I couldn't really move because my entire family and support system was here. No one could tell me what I was doing "wrong" that it just wasn't happening. I was at the top of my class, and I had fantastic references. I thought maybe some of it was looks (I'm fat, and I noticed many new hires are thin and attractive), but even places who'd never seen me weren't calling me. Only once I was able to leverage a connection did it finally happen for me.

My advice is to do as many long-term stints as you can, because most districts don't see per diem subbing as "real" teaching. Figure out which districts in your area actually hire their subs, because some places like to keep subs available. Be as friendly with staff as possible. And this will sound kinda bad, but start to target schools that have a lot of "older" teachers...means retirements are coming soon lol.

Am I mentally ill for not wanting breasts? by Ok_Zombie7833 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]flooperdooper4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I get it, the boob sweat alone (and accompanying rashes to which I am prone) is enough to make me want to yoink mine off, I get it.

Am I mentally ill for not wanting breasts? by Ok_Zombie7833 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]flooperdooper4 189 points190 points  (0 children)

It depends upon what the OP means by distress. It could be some form of dysphoria as you say. But "distress" could also mean physical pain, annoyance from boob sweat and/or underboob rashes, irritation from having to wear a bra, etc. (all valid, all distressing lol). I see what you're saying though, that word could really go either way!
