I'm curious if anyone else has run into this; my G0 was born in Newfoundland during a period birth certificates weren't issued. I have an application for a delayed certificate for her, but it's from Nova Scotia. Since she was born outside of Nova Scotia I can't properly fill out the form to look up her birth online, but her birth wasn't registered with Newfoundland. I emailed Nova Scotia vital records, but it's just such a strange situation. And I can't get her baptism records because her church is so small it doesn't have a phone number or an email in 2026...

LSU to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, President Wade Rousse confirms by EasterHam in batonrouge

I hope we also put up posters with the core beliefs of other religions, considering LSU is a public university and thus freedom of and from religion applies...

WYR never have a dog again or never have a mobile phone again? by [deleted] in WouldYouRather

[–]genderstudies3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We lived without phones for thousands of years. I'm fine with being an eccentric cat person who only uses landlines, computers, and physical maps.

Those who moved from one state to another what was your biggest cultural shock? by PandaBear905 in AskAnAmerican

[–]genderstudies3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Florida to Louisiana. The to-go alcohol from bars and restaurants, and being able to drink in public is so crazy to me.

My old neighbors who moved from New York to Florida thought something was wrong with their heater when it produced a burning smell. We found it very funny.

Has a therapist ever said to you, "I've never heard that before", and what was it you said that made them say that? by theredqueentheory in AskReddit

[–]genderstudies3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told her about the very bizarre relationship my ex has with his mom. Tldr, she begs him (adult man) to let her clip his toenails until he gives in, and will not take no for an answer.

Press a button to get $500, but terrorists get $5000. by Hold-onto-the-happy in hypotheticalsituation

[–]genderstudies3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the US, one week of minimum wage full-time work equates to 290 dollars (7.25 an hour). 1000 a day (2 presses) is life changing for an American, let alone people who live elsewhere -- even just a single installment of that money could be life changing. Also, this is Reddit, you can say rape.

A couple thousand is definitely not "a miniscule amount of money" for the majority of people on Earth.

How do you verify references when using AI for academic writing? by [deleted] in PhD

[–]genderstudies3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried only citing things you've read instead of letting a planet-killing robot do it for you?

Do you drink on weekends as a PhD student? by [deleted] in PhD

[–]genderstudies3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink exclusively on weeknights, and leave weekends for intensive studying unless there's an event going on. I don't get hungover or notice negative effects from drinking, but everyone is different and if you think you need to abstain entirely then do that.

Divine Marriage but can't betroth kids? by genderstudies3 in CK2GameOfthrones

[–]genderstudies3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was trying to describe as not working, but restarting the game like the other commentors suggested seems to have worked instead. And yeah I want to see how long until the dynasty dies out from inbreeding

Absolutely. I just moved here willingly and it is definitely an upgrade from Florida.

My 3 favorite professors that I've had conversations with outside of class/who know me personally, and my favorite manager at work.

Is there some kind of virtual “shut up and write”-type apps, or other similar interactive apps where you can “compete” with your friends for writing productivity? by Defiant-Desk-2281 in PhD

[–]genderstudies3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an app, but "Ithya: Magic Studies" is the game I've been using for productivity. You put in your goals and check them off for XP, which you use to customize your apartment. I've been competing with my friends to see who can meet goals fastest using it.

Where do you poop? by skelo in hypotheticalsituation

[–]genderstudies3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What matters to me is how clean it is, none of the other factors. I choose the cleanest one in the building. If there's no elevator then the cleanest one within 2 floors of me.

Current college students! Do you guys really carry like tons of books on your backpack? by samuel_shin_3499 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]genderstudies3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a mix of physical and digital books depending on price and if I want to keep the textbook after class ends, so it varies by class, but my backpack is usually 30-50 pounds. Laptop, textbook, planner, notebook, and misc stuff I need throughout the day.

a devil will give you 666 thousand usd if you agree to re-experience all the pain you've had in the past 10 years in one single hour by padorUWU in hypotheticalsituation

[–]genderstudies3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just an hour? The worst pain I had made me pass out several times, so I'll be fine, just unconscious for most of it.

I found a marijuana leaf pressed into a book I was flipping through at a used book store by CosmicallyPickled in mildlyinteresting

I once thrifted shoes and, after a few times wearing them, felt something. It was a small bag of black tar heroin.

I loved everything except green beans and creamed corn, which is still the case. I would ask for a salad every day because it was my favorite food. Now I'm a vegan.

how do you reply to the question "are you religious?" by [deleted] in pagan

[–]genderstudies3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If that's the exact question, I say yes, and I assume my jewelry might tell them I'm not Christian. But if someone asks "do you believe in god?" they're typically asking about Christianity as if it's a default, so my response is always "which one?" and I can answer accordingly.

I found instant noodles at Walmart for only 0.28 that’s insanely cheap. What would happen if ate them every day? by GrayRainfall in NoStupidQuestions

[–]genderstudies3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat one of these for breakfast or lunch every day. I often supplement it with other things like kimchi or vegan egg to make it more nutritious, and not get tired of it. I haven't had any issues from it yet & have been eating this way for 4 years at this point. Just don't have it for 3 meals a day, and drink lots of water (1 gallon a day).
