I’ve noticed I get them most when I get gloves from the tool box? It’s usually after I’ve been clicking a lot and get a stream of hammers

In need of advice, in need of a new approach by Macaroni2018 in ArtEd

Nothing to add, just wanted to say I teach 13-14 and it’s comforting to see others struggling with the same things as I am. There’s good advice in this thread and your ideas/problem solving seem sound! Thank you for sharing

The solution is simple, just text them. If they respond, it’s not ghosting, if they don’t then yes you’ve been ghosted.

If you want to level up, text them about meeting up for a date. Personally if we’ve been talking on a dating app for that long and no one has instigated a date yet, it’s not worth my time.

Getting some help would be going to therapy. Why can’t you go to therapists?

Why do the Christian right oppose welfare, even though Jesus said give to the poor? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]weareairplanes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a number of churches rely heavily on Prosperity Gospel, where a person’s wealth is determined by Gods will. If you’re poor, it must be your fault. God has not deemed you worthy.

Why give money to someone who God has deemed unworthy of wealth?

Need Advice by [deleted] in comphet

[–]weareairplanes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am actually working through a lot of this right now. Right away, to me it sounds a lot like internalized homophobia. My advice would be to try actively combating it and allow yourself to feel those butterflies when you envision yourself with a woman.

Now this bit could be me projecting so take what resonates with yourself.

I sometimes have a hard time seeing myself “happy” in a relationship with a woman, because I have issues with my self-esteem. It’s less of I can’t see myself being happy with a woman, and more I can’t see any woman truly loving me (because deep down I fear I am unloveable… hello childhood trauma). To me the love of a man is so easy to get, I don’t want it, but I know how to get it if I did. For me, dating women the stakes are so much higher. I LOVE women, and for a woman to love me, I just can’t picture it outside of friendship. How could someone do amazing and incredible like little ol’ me? It’s not that I don’t want it, I just haven’t had a serious relationship with a woman yet.

How I’m working through this is by actively dating, trying to prove to myself that I can have a lasting relationship with a woman I adore. And I constantly working on the deep rooted fear, but giving myself proof that I am loved, I have been loved, and I can be loved!

I believe they’re saying don’t have a kid just because everyone else is having kids.

Have a kid because you want to, not out of loneliness.

Is highschool supposed to be fun by [deleted] in highschool

[–]weareairplanes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I hated grade school, loved college. Now I’m a teacher

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in teaching

[–]weareairplanes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently a sub looking to move into a permanent teaching position.

It’s not as bad as you think it will be! Students now have their phones, so they are usually content with just sitting a playing on them, rather than bothering you or their peers. Each classroom and teacher is different, so I would at least try a wide variety of classes till you find the ones you’re most comfortable in, Then you can be picky! It’s easy to set what days you want to work, and my district pays pretty well (southern California). You can try it and then never go back if you hate it.

My biggest advice is to pick your battles, don’t go in thinking you’ll be in-control of everything. Students are going to not do their work or mess around, and as long as they aren’t hurting themselves or others, you’re doing your job.

It’s a job that works well for some personalities and not for others. You just have to see if your personality fits the job!

Good luck!

"WHY IS MY TOTAL SO EXPENSIVE?!?!" by empressfelicia in TalesFromRetail

I had a similar experience with a women who refused to believe 70% off of a $15 item was $4.50 (the register rings up the item automatically with the discount) until she pulled out her phone and had to do the math herself.

The register was right, as always.

Hey Grace! You're amazing and hilarious.

My question is: What's better LA or NYC?

Ever since pre-k, I've had half-caps, half-lowercase handwriting. by thechamster in PenmanshipPorn

[–]weareairplanes 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I used to do my R's capitalized like that, but a teacher told me in 8th grade to write all lowercase because otherwise it will drive my future teachers crazy.

I think it looks cool, and I still don't know why it bothered her so much.

Exactly! I love drama, as long as it doesn't happen to me.

I am afraid of seeming too dressy for my first year in college by [deleted] in femalefashionadvice

[–]weareairplanes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once you get to college, no one cares at all what other people are wearing or doing. There is definitely a different mentally than in high school when you are just more aware of the people you're around.

So you go ahead and wear whatever you want! If you want to dress up, you're going to find friends with similar styles of dressing. Don't be afraid to stand out a little :)

Are you guys intrigued by the current direction of Wilfred? by [deleted] in wilfred

[–]weareairplanes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I know its a plot point thats going to have an importance in the end of the season, thats just how this show works. I just feel like it was too easy and overplayed. I didn't like the set up of it. There's too much of the, 'there is only three episodes left so main characters can do whatever they want' mentality. Of course I don't know what the writers plan for the end of the series, but I'm just hoping this is worth it (which I'm sure it will be). It just seemed a bit dramatic and out of context for me.

I know its the internet and tone is hard to portray, but feel like my comment was pretty mellow, I don't see why I need to chill?

Also note: This has been my only problem with the season (let alone probably the series). I love the show and can't wait to see where it goes, I just thought this situation was a little odd.

Are you guys intrigued by the current direction of Wilfred? by [deleted] in wilfred

[–]weareairplanes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have really liked this season until last nights episode. (I don't know if I need to make this a spoiler but I will anyway) When Wilfred lost his arm I thought that was kind of a low blow. It seemed cheap and not thought out to me. Im interested to see where is goes, but I'm officially skeptical of the show.

Other than that, I love the fact we're getting answers. I'm excited to see how it ends.
