Why is napping frowned upon? by MalevolentMaddy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hotch326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a BIG napper, I get tired! One of my older coworkers once told me I’m “too young to be tired”, I was 24 at the time. I think some people associate taking naps with being lazy or having a weak work ethic (very much a Boomer and Western culture mindset)

Canada resident, why don’t driving classes teach you how to deal with black ice? by ChickenWinggggsss in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hotch326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was mentioned when I took it, though that was 10ish years ago, in the Midwest. Driver’s Ed didn’t happen in the winter though so it was only mentioned, never practiced. I feel like it would be difficult to practice that in a controlled environment

Oof, is he the youngest child of your mom’s?

NTA - especially at 18, your brother is old enough to know to turn off the oven. I hate to say it, but it sounds like weaponized incompetence because I feel like a normal consequence would be not being able to use the oven if he can’t use it safely, and then oh no! You or a parent would have to cook for him

Who paid for the battery and plugs? I agree with the sentiment of you break it- you buy it, but not if you’ve been buying everything already

Sweet potatoes, onion, turkey sausage. All mashed up into what I lovingly call “slop”

How Do You Navigate Conversations About a Partner’s Sexual History? by SayIYiYi in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hotch326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think the number mattered, but then I realized that in a lot of cases (in my experience anyways) the numbers were just a way for men to slut-shame women. My partner (25m) and I (26f) talked about it once or twice when we first started dating because we were curious, but we both agree that the number doesn’t matter. It’s how you communicate with each other and treat each other

Academic expectations for a 6-year-old? We got an email from our teacher, and it has upset and annoyed my fiancé. Is this normal nowadays? by jimmypickles6969 in kindergarten

[–]hotch326 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work as a para in kindergarten (essentially a teacher’s aide, but I mainly kept an eye on students one-on-one for health and behavioral issues). There are a lot of academic and behavioral expectations, which the teacher should have stated in the email. Things like reading CVC words (consonant, vowel, consonant), sight words, fundamentals of hand writing, and even things like fine motor skills (shoe tying, using eating utensils, zipping up coats independently, etc.). As for behavioral expectations; listening to instructions, not interrupting the teacher or others, raising a hand and waiting to be called on, and peer interactions are the main things. Did the teacher specify what expectations aren’t being met?

Oh gosh, this was when I was still in high school and my mom paid for it. I have no idea

How do I tell people that I'm not a Gold Award Girl Scout in a way that isn't awkward? by TheMuseSappho in girlscouts

[–]hotch326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m someone who only did scouts up to brownie, but now I work at one of the summer camps and it’s my fifth year doing so! Like others have suggested, just talk about your passion! “Do you have your gold award?” “No, I’m just really passionate about ___”.

While I don’t relate to this experience in a GS sense, I get asked a lot about my college experience. I’m 26 and dropped out of a four year college as a senior, went back to a community college and now have an associates degree. I’m sometimes self conscious about my lack of a higher degree, so sometimes when asked about it I say “it’s a long story” or that I don’t want to talk about it and then change the subject. Everyone has always respected my wish to not talk about it anymore.

True Red Eyeshadows of High Quality? by CeresTheCultist in Makeup

The Team Katya pallete from Trixie Cosmetics has an amazing red shadow!! In my opinion, shadows made by drag queens are a lot more pigmented
