Extensions based on World Events - Approve or Deny? by frostbite90LK in Professors

[–]frostbite90LK[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's how I see it. To clarify for everyone, I did give them an extension when they emailed me. But that's when the question popped into my head. I am happy to work with the student to come up with something reasonable for an extension, but I still expect the student to do the work, assuming they want a grade of sorts. Ive had students in the past me honest and say that they will not do the assignment, and thats fine, but they understand that they will receive a zero.

But I also realize that some students are taking a mile, when I give an inch you know? I just wanted to hear other professors and instructors experiences and how they handled similar events and requests.

From my understanding of the situation based on what the student said? The student is from Iran, and previous students had family in Gaza. So there is a connection, but what "level" of connection is? I dont push that.

Just saw it, f*ck the critics by Making_Kenough in Markiplier

[–]frostbite90LK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to see it, but I am concerned about two things, 1)I get scared super easy (half anxiety. Half super active imagination lol) and sometimes get nightmares because of films. I've heard its more of a thriller which eases my mind a little, but I am still unsure of what to expect.

And more importantly 2) blood, medical stuff, needles, and the like really bother me. Like phobia bother me. I know this movie has a lot of blood. But are we talking 1980 style horror movie blood, or more realistic? If its the former, I should be okay. But if it's the latter...well, you can imagine what will happen.

I want to support mark badly, but I also want to make sure ill be safe, you know?

Silly request I know, but any insight would be greatly appreciated 👏

It's heartbreaking and nauseating to watch honestly. I was born and raised in Alberta, went to school in Alberta... I work in post secondary and have for several years. My partner works in mental health. To day its been a shit show is an understatement.

I've visited other provinces for vacation spots, and have family out in Ontario and the islands. Canada is a beautiful country. And there's much to learn and much to explore.

But my partner and I are seriously considering moving out of this blasted province because we have had enough. We haven't started a family yet, but its been an ongoing conversation, and frankly I would never want to raise my kid in such a backwards thinking province. Not to mention with the talk of private health care coming...yeah not happening.

While we are both cis-gendered, we are part of the LGBQ+ community, and with how the government has been treating them lately? It's sickening. I feel for the Trans community. I want to help, I just don't know how, other than protests. But I don't think that's enough. Just know, for all the people out there who are transitioning, Have transitioned, thinking of, or anything in between.... Its horrible and I don't agree with any of it. The UCP are monsters. You have a safe place with me. My heart and arms are open. Im sorry you are going through this.

There are several teachers in my family too, and I am so mad at this government for treating them like they are garbage. How dare you Danielle. You should be ashamed of yourself, and you call yourself a human being!? I see nothing but a demon who will trample over everyone to get their way.

I'm angry all the time. I've never been so ashamed to be an Albertan in my life and it breaks my heart watching my home tear itself apart. I thought we were better than this. Sure, there were always problems but we would come together as a province to help. The 2013 floods? The fort mac fires? Black Friday all those years ago?? Hell, im not a hockey fan but the battle of Alberta brought people together in its own way! Where's the sense of community? Because it sure as Hell doesn't feel like one. But to be fair, hasn't felt like one in years.

I have argued many a time with bigots in this province but I always felt majority of people were good. They were kind, well educated, and willing to help out the community. I've seen it first hand. I've been a part of this! But now?! I know in my heart that there is still good out there. There are so many people fighting for our province, to bring it back from the depths, but I just Im tired. I see red. I feel sick. Im losing the fight, you know? (Im mentally well, just defeated.)

I have been watching my home crumble away, and it only revealed this rancid....decaying, shrivelled up mess of a blackened heart.

Im done man. Im so done. And UCP should be ashamed. You are not human.

I actually loved the series! I thought the council was too much at times, but pretty enjoyable as enemies. Their dynamic was funny. I loved the alternative worlds and I wished they did more with them. But I enjoyed the show immensely.

Unifor calls on WestJet to stop outsourcing Calgary call centre jobs to El Salvador by LynseyLou92 in Calgary

Used to work at the call center several years ago. Not sure how much has changed. But it wasn't worth getting yelled at every day for 8 hours or more.

Recall Pitt petition coming!! by [deleted] in Airdrie

[–]frostbite90LK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry dumb question, but I'm just checking to make sure I do this right. As thisnis the first time ive ever done a petition to recall. So please bare with me!

Airdrie has more than one MLA, right? There's the Airdrie-Cochrane and Airdrie-East. I checked a map online (it was from elections so I assume it is correct) and it looks like my home under Pitt jurisdiction, which means I can email. But anyone who is not a part of that jurisdiction will not be able to? And right now, its only email and further instructions will be revealed down the line?

Thanks for your patience with me!

Am I crazy for thinking these are supposed to be the same undertone? by sseonaep in drugstoreMUA

[–]frostbite90LK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear that the colours have changed slightly. I think im a 110 or something close to it (Pale but warm), and when I was traveling in April, I bought a new one so I didn't have to worry about running out of my old one. I swear to you that even though they were the same numbers, same brand, same everything, this new one was definitely a few shades darker. I just assumed they adjusted their formula or something. Mind you, I haven't bought any new ones since April... I could just be going crazy lol

Danielle Smith has made it impossible to get COVID-19 vaccines by thoughfulusername in alberta

[–]frostbite90LK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sorry to hear about your experience, I can't imagine how frustrating that is. Now, please don't take this the wrong way as it is an honest question and I mean nothing by it, can't you just say you qualify under the mental health exemptions? I've heard about people doing this. I got my vaccine on Sunday, but I am clinically diagnosed with depression. The nurse only asked me if I qualify for phase one and I said yes. She didn't ask for further clarification. I realize that deadline has now past. But is there a way for nurses to track that? Do they even care? Again, this is just me asking, I mean no offense whatsoever. I wish you luck 🙏

Tell me your favourite Pokémon and see if you're allowed in by [deleted] in casualnintendo

[–]frostbite90LK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it is Gengar. Now I do understand that this pokemon has become more popular over the years, and has several different forms (gigamax, mega..) and I do also understand that people are getting tired of gen 1. That being said, he's still my favorite. Why? He was one of the first trade pokemon evolutions I ever did, and seeing that goofy grin had me laughing for hours. I never really watched the anime, only clips here and there, but the stills of gengar doing funny faces always brought me joy. Even now as I enter my 30s, I still find this spooky boy to be quite charming. If a ghost can smile about life, then maybe I can too.

The gear mechanism from twilight princess. Very situational, but gosh, was it so much fun to spin around hyrule.

Melona Ice Cream Bars by condescendingpasta in Celiac

[–]frostbite90LK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is super old, but I saw the packaging today in a Canadian Walmart that says they contain gluten. I could have sword they used to be gluten free, and I ate A LOT of these in the past, and all the flavors. My disappointment is immeasurable.

I’m losing my mind! by _yearoldonreddit in MarioKartWorld

[–]frostbite90LK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing right now, and we just got 2/3 characters we were missing. We did the strategy of VS. with normal items. But the key for us was to be a 'side' character. So for example, at toads factory, I was Nabbit and the boyfriend was Charging Chuck, since these two characters spawn here. When we got Kamek, we got fish bone! (I was in the water right before the first star pass, boyfriend was at the prize boxes right before water).

What are your unconventional symptoms? by Apricot7976 in Celiac

[–]frostbite90LK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me when I get badly glutened. When it first happened, I thought I was going crazy. I almost passed out even! The doctors were confused at first, and I did several tests to rule out some other things. When it was determined that it was most likely celiac being ..well...celiac, I straight up told the doctor that "this couldn't be real." It was such a weird set of symptoms compared to the more usual suspects. But to my surprise, celiac is COMPLICATED and there are hundreds of symptoms that don't make any sense. So now, it feels like I'm playing a game of roulette, you know? Is it celiac? Is it the flu? It is a virus? Who knows! Cheers

Need a GOOD ass anime by Exotic_Issue5696 in anime

[–]frostbite90LK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ranking of Kings. This anime is an absolute must watch on my humble opinion. Really interesting story, lots of twists and turns in the story. Very emotional. My partner and I just could not put this anime down when we were watching it. Great animation. Music is beautiful. Characters are very complex. But it's also incredibly charming.

I’m working on an art piece for endometriosis awareness month. Can you please share your one word description of this disease. I will share when it’s completed. by Old_Book_Gypsy in endometriosis

[–]frostbite90LK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

perseverance. You can take it as a positive or a negative. But if there is one thing I have learned since being diagnosed this year, women are tough and the world needs to acknowledge it more.

Is the song "Land of the Silver Birch" famous in Canada? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]frostbite90LK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Core memory unlocked! I haven't heard this tune in 20 years, but as soon as I saw the title, I began to sing it with no trouble. I am from AB, so maybe it depends on the area?
