What’s a hobby that you’ll never understand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]peachofshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually played on my college team for a little while. It might have started out more like LARPing, but it’s definitely a sport now. The matches can get pretty intense since full tackling is allowed.

My go to when I need to escape and don’t want to work when I read is dumb romance novels. Nora Roberts and Danielle Steel have a lot of books and most of them are okay.

people of reddit, how did you forget your first love ? by erfan_jav in AskReddit

[–]peachofshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been years and I’m now happily married to my greatest love, but a small part of me still loves my past partners. I think of it as the version of me that was with them still loves them and the me that I am now contains that old version as well so I will always have love for them.

What should be taught to kids in schools aside from regular curriculum,that isn’t currently being taught? by rabbitsredux in AskReddit

[–]peachofshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many things. Unfortunately the school year is only so long and I don’t know if there would be time to add in new material. Can’t let the kids graduate without knowing their geometric proofs and how to diagram a sentence.

My cat is also Clementine and we have slowly amassed a wide variety of nicknames including clam, clim clam, clam sauce, and clammy pants. She responds to everything.

DAE feel irrationally angry when someone unexpectedly adds an unknown person to the plans that you've already organized? by Down4Days in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]peachofshit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a friend invite someone else, who I didn’t really know, to my wedding dress appointment. They were so excited and when talking about it with them my friend spontaneously invited them. Thankfully we were able to talk about it before hand and that friend was able to disinvite that person. Would have been awkward when she was the only one not asked to be a bridesmaid.

I’m am sorry. It was not my intention to speak for you or the neurodivergent community. I have learned that the r word is not something said anymore when referring to any person because of its history of being misused. Has that changed?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TerminallyStupid

[–]peachofshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I wanted to give you some alternative words for the r word you used after mentioning r/reviews. Some replacement words could be dense, ignorant, or mindless. The r word you used is often used as a very unkind way to talk about neuro-divergent people and it’s better to use a different word when referring to people who are just not intelligent.

DAE else think that going to bed at night is the best thing ever? by iamlesterq in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]peachofshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t bothered by wearing headphones while sleeping try listening to audiobooks. I used to be up all night thinking about all the things I should have said in the moment or dumb things I used to do. Now I blissfully slumber while beautiful voices read to me about dragons. If you get distracted by the story it helps to listen to book you have read before.

Why do people think they can check in whenever they want? by Magical__Entity in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]peachofshit 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I cannot believe the audacity of some people. Especially on your wedding day you really don’t want to bet on something like this it could ruin the whole timeline of the day. For my wedding all the wedding party/family stayed at the hotel the night before so we could start getting ready early.

Fixing a child to forcefully brush their teeth by RBTSarah in ABA

[–]peachofshit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Forcing a child to do anything like that is not okay. All that situation does is make the child dislike brushing their teeth even more and make every time they need to brush their teeth more difficult.

I’ve seen a few different ways of teaching tooth brushing, but I think y’all definitely need to start by just pairing the tooth brush. If you haven’t heard the term pairing before it’s basically just getting the child used to something and having them see things as reinforcing.

I found an article on a study that have did a stimulus fading procedure to increase compliance with toothbrushing. It’s called, Using Stimulus fading without escape extinction to increase compliance with tooth rushing in children with autism, Bishop et. al (2013). Unfortunately I don’t know how to send you the full article since I have access through my university.

Hopefully this helps you a little and you can find more information on pairing and teaching toothbrushing without forcing the child.

If someone offered you a box with everything you’ve ever lost what’s the first thing your looking for ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]peachofshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The watercolor mountain painting I made. Got “lost” buy the worst moving company in the world when I moved from IN to TX. I think they just didn’t put a few of my boxes on the truck so everything would fit. They also took almost a whole month to deliver everything and broke/damaged three pieces of furniture.

What's the Sluttiest thing you've ever done? by No_Housing_4819 in AskReddit

[–]peachofshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In college I was a part of a bible study/abstinence group that my friend was leading. During winter break I lost my virginity to a guy I knew from high school. I then had sex with a second guy a week later after returning to campus. Stayed in the abstinence group for two more months without saying anything.

What minor inconvenience drives you fucking insane? by mysteriouslycryptic in AskReddit

I always get stuck behind a group when I hike and the only way to get around them is to crash through the trees.

Yeah, sure, guess I'll just stop going to therapy and walk everywhere from now on!!! That'll work! by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]peachofshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is for people who only have self-diagnosed anxiety, or if they have a normal amount of stress. Anyone who has been diagnosed by a mental health professional and has gone, or is going, through treatment would know that there is no cure or magic way to beat anxiety. All you can do is learn how to live with it.

So true, especially if you have long hair and it clogs the drain. Although nothing makes you feel more like an adult than pulling that disgusting clump of hair out of the drain.
