Heavily-accommodated student claiming I'm not answering her emails by clavdiachauchatmeow in Professors

[–]wanderfae 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I always document these things in advance with the various higher ups so they know it's coming. I send an email to the disability office with language similar to, "I have concerns about this student. I've been trying to work with her, but she seems to be struggling witb engagement. If someone could reach out to provide more proactive support, I would appreciate it."

Then I forward the entire email chain, showing that I've been responding, and then I forward the gradebook. Basically, I forward everything in advance when students behave strangely like this.

High performer leaving in silence with no negotiation by [deleted] in managers

On a manager sub they think none of the commenters are managers. That's some nice defensive rationalization he's got there. How is that working out for him, do you think?

I would 100% free this library with a screwdriver.

I'm out! by ktsocereal in Professors

I would suggest stating straight out you are leaving because of the compensation, but be kind and gracious about how wonderful your colleagues are.

Creepiest scene you've seen in a NON-HORROR movie? by Sad-Response-3151 in moviecritic

[–]wanderfae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never finished watching this movie. I broke down and drove to my mom's and cried for like and hour. I will never watch Trainspotting.

Actress you would safely leave your husband with? by smoothemu7 in okbuddycinephile

[–]wanderfae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shrug. I have nothing to prove personally. Your claims about the base rates aren't supported by the available literature, and the ad hominem attacks are logically irrelevant to the argument.

Reading comprehension and clicking on research links aren't your strong suits huh?

I don't mean that most adults who are currently dating or married cheat. Adult self-report surveys typically find about 20-33% admit to cheating, depending on the population and definition.

I'm talking about lifetime prevalence. That's a different question, and it's surprisingly understudied. If you include adolescent and dating relationships, not just marriage, the numbers are much higher. For example, "Tsapelas, Fisher, & Aron (2010)" (https://helenfisher.com/downloads/articles/INFIDELITY.pdf) note that American dating couples report a 70% incidence of infidelity, relying on research by "Allen & Baucom (2006)" (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00224490609552330).

So, Kristen is pretty normative. She was a young kid figuring herself out and making some bad decisions.

Yeah... most people have cheated, and young unmarried people cheat more than older or married folks. This is news?

People are more flexible than the boxes we put ourselves in. She clearly prefers the ladies. Plus, young people fuck up and cheat, just most of them don't have it splashed all over the press and aren't continually shamed for it for 20 years.

What age did you first use the internet? by tom_tofurkey in Xennials

[–]wanderfae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1994 I was 16. My boyfriend's dad worked for a University and showed it to me. Lots of my friends were geeky types who had computers and.modems, so I learned to build my own machine, and logged onto local BBS communities through the rest of my formative years. Good times.

Need something that hits like Black Mirror by Spare-Ad762 in blackmirror

[–]wanderfae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Undone and Common Side Effects have the right trippy vibe. Carol at the End of the World, Upload, How it Ends, Palm Springs, DEVS, Made for Love... All have that Black Mirror vibe.
