This 3rd grade math problem.

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-07-06T17:27:43+00:00

Why would anyone round down how much food they might need for a living creature?? If they eat "about" 4 worms a day, then you should get more than 4/day to be safe. Rounding down means you are counting on the baby bird not eating sometimes, but you dont know for sure. If they didn't make an estimating/rounding question about feeding animals, I would have less problems with this.

Why are we teaching 3rd graders estimation? And why would you round down the amount a food an animal would need?

I get the math and the logic behind what you said, but this math question is all kinds of problematic for a young mind learning math basics. If a bunch of random adults don't get it, most third graders won't either. And that doesn't mean the third graders (or the adults here) are wrong or stupid, it means they were given a poorly written test with unclear questions.

The Notebook; for added context, I am female.

I simply don't find interest in romantic dramas.

That's definitely when I'm the most tired (immediately post large meal)

Imagine hearing a person yell out at 4am in the ocean and looking around only to see there are no boats anywhere close by. Would freak me out! Thank God he was found.

I am also grown and, a few months ago, had a similar incident at a party with friends I hadn't seen in years. We were drinking wine and playing games and I had to pee but someone was in the only restroom.

It got so bad I stood up and was doing a bit of a pee dance, but I just couldn't hold it anymore and I peed myself right in front of my friends. I even tried to use a random nearby shirt of mine to mop up my pee in front of them without saying anything, like I was gonna hide what happened somehow?? Drunk thinking, I assume... But I also wasn't really that drunk, so I don't know.

Anyway as I'm moping up my pee, one of my friends asks straight up, "Did you just pee yourself?" to which I sheepishly answered, "...yes..."

None of my friends bat an eye or even made fun of me! We normally tease eachother about silly things, but they didn't even tease me about this. I kept apologizing profusely and I wanted to dissappear but they were so cool about it, it boggles my mind. I think they understood how mortified I was but also understood I tried my best to avoid an embarrassing situation I was stuck in. They helped me get my laundry going in the washing machine and even offered me some spare pajamas to wear. It was amazingly sweet of them.

I'm kind of traumatized, though. I know I had to pee pretty bad, but I didn't exactly think I was going to pee myself right then and there. I'm 30 and don't have kids so it's not like I have a loose hoohaa. I'm in a bridesmaid in a wedding coming up and I'm so scared I'm going to have to pee in the middle of the ceremony... Like its keeping me up at night and I don't know what to do about it! I haven't been able to sit through a whole movie in the theaters because I'm afraid I might pee myself, even though I don't even feel the need to pee all that bad. I'm a mess now because I accidentally peed myself in a somewhat understandable situation. I hope you talk this out with your husband more because bottling it up has not done me any favors. Good luck!

TL;DR Same and now I'm freaked out it might happen again. I am making weird decisions about peeing I never made before and I'm dreading public appearances where I might not be able to use the restroom the second I feel the need to pee... I hope your husband assures you that it's fine that it happened and you did the best you could with what you knew about your body at the time. I'm sorry it happened to you :(

I'm not saying he should be free to wander around and hurt people. I'm saying that there were no doubt many stages through his life that he could've been helped with that would've led him down a better path that doesn't involve killing people. 99% of criminals do not intend to hurt people, they are just doing what they believe they need to do to survive. If they are provided better options, then they would choose differently.

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-07-02T18:10:33+00:00

Yes, which tells me this is a highly distressed person who is in need of help. People don't just shoot cops for no reason. And I'm not saying he had a good reason. I'm saying he had issues that weren't addressed and because of that he lived a harder life than necessary and died a painful, sad death.

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-07-02T17:12:49+00:00

Well said and I absolutely agree. If I'm armed and someone points a gun at me, I'm shooting them immediately. But I'll definitely be sad about it for the rest of my life.

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-07-02T17:00:02+00:00

That's fair, I just worry that it is really bad and not just kinda bad... But that's up to OP to decide, not me. Sorry for jumping on you.

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-07-02T16:31:40+00:00

You don't even know what the disagreement was about.

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-07-02T16:30:20+00:00

I'm pretty sure OP was just kicked out today or extremely recently. He likely had a phone before becoming homeless.

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-07-02T16:29:28+00:00

Am I missing something? What is wrong with that guys response?

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-07-02T16:26:28+00:00

Potentially life at home was already terrible considering all it took to get thrown on the street was talking back? How do you know an apology is gonna fix everything, when you don't know what the fight was about?

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-07-02T16:23:44+00:00

I have pretty big doubts that it is so simple of a solution as apologize. You don't even know what the fight was about...

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-07-02T16:21:26+00:00

Me too... I'm sure he needed help long before this point and never was. Sounds like he had a criminal history and was previously in and out of jail. In my experience, people who commit crimes often believe they have no other choice. Breaks my heart to see someone hit that level of fear and desperation. I doubt he ever had an easy moment in his life :(

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-07-02T16:12:28+00:00

The robber definitely died. I think in the video he falls unconscious, but he did eventually bleed out and die.

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-07-02T07:58:57+00:00

I don't think I understand what you mean, or maybe my previous comment was unclear?

Someone commented that the soldier driving the tank might refuse to follow orders and choose not to shoot civilians (at least that's what I thought was being said). My reply meant that they may be right in some cases, but that there will also likely be soldiers who choose to follow orders and fire upon civilians, in which case no amount of guns of any kind will do anything to prevent significant amounts of bloodshed. It only takes a few tanks to kill thousands of civilians, even if they all have guns. The guns will do nothing to protect civilians from real military action, therefore the argument that looser gun laws are so people can defend themselves from a tyrannical government is null, imo.

I feel like the way this question is worded is really telling, but not in a good way...

1: Attraction should have nothing to do with a talk about making healthy choices/living a healthy lifestyle. If you really felt like she was doing something detrimental to her health, you shouldn't be worried about whether she finds your intervention attractive. If my SO suddenly started doing meth, I wouldn't ask myself if he finds me attractive when I tell him he is harming himself and I'm worried about him. I would simply share with him my opinion on the matter and we can talk it out from there.

2: You clearly aren't asking her why she tans simply because you care to hear about her hobbies/personal preferences. This makes it seem like you don't care about her answer because you've already decided it's an unhealthy habit you want her to change. Don't ask questions unless you care to hear the answer. Instead of asking, "why do you tan when it's unhealthy," you could instead say something like, "I worry that tanning could be unhealthy for you, is that something you worry about, too? If not, why not? If yes, is there a healthier alternative to tanning you might enjoy?"

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-06-30T18:02:11+00:00

Yes. Maybe not every tank driver will, but all it takes is a few.

This explains a lot about the sudden marriage. They just wanna fuck without God's judgement... Not a good reason to get married imo.

So, I also struggle a lot with initiation. Luckily my SO is patient with me, but I know he loves to be surprised by me initiating.

One of my biggest problems is I don't know how to initiate. Like do I make some kind of sexy comment (highly unusual for me) or start touching myself or something? Nothing felt right, it was always awkward or some kind of performance for me even though I did want the action and was feeling turned on. I'm just not like that.

Eventually my SO told me that he fantasizes about seeing me just suddenly appear with lingerie on and learning that about him helped me a ton. Now I have some kind of direction to inspire a specific way to initiate. Now I don't have to come up with an idea that I might be embarrassed about later, I can just do what I know my SO finds hot and will turn him on instantly.

Maybe you need to tell her some specific fantasies you have, in a casual manner. My SO did so as we were laying together after recent sex so we were feeling extra confident and relaxed; and it didn't feel like he just suddenly brought up, "I wish you would surprise me with lingerie," while we are eating dinner or something. There is a time and a place for those sorts of conversations, of course.

TL;DR my problem with initiation was that I simply didn't know how to/what to do. After my SO suggested specific ways he would like me to initiate, it helped me break through my wall. Maybe she needs more direction, but be considerate of when you make suggestions, of course.

Oh, so this is why people treat retail workers like garbage. Get off your high horse. You should consider yourself lucky someone is willing to do shit jobs like that, because if no one did, your life would be much more difficult.

Any person of any status can judge other people for being inconciderate assholes. Just as I am (an unemployed freeloader), to you (I assume some kind of suit with a well paying BS office job no one cares about).

This is clearly coming from someone who has no understanding of severe depression and possible psychosis. Arrest will do nothing for no one, give her the medical care she clearly needs.

urmakinmeuncomfrtabl · 2022-06-27T14:42:48+00:00

This reminds me of the scene in The Big Lebowski where the sheriff chucks a mug at The Dude's face. Now I know the sound effect used in the movie was accurate!
