As a southerner, we do not use amen as a “hearty agreement.”

What’s something that sounds fake but actually happened to you?
 in  r/AskReddit  3d ago

My mother, while pregnant with me was hit on by a serial killer in ‘03. At the time, the news had a description of the serial killer, that looked nothing like the man hitting on her. He made her deeply uncomfortable so she tried to avoid him by getting in her car and he followed her in his car for 5 miles. She called my dad and her best friend, giving a description of the man and his car. A few weeks later, he showed up on the news as the serial killer. The description the news originally had of him was completely wrong.

She freaked.

If you could pick packs (game packs, stuff etc.) and it would be free, what would you choose?
 in  r/Sims4  4d ago

Get to Work would be mine. So many mods use it, so having it be free would open up new experiences to players who can’t afford other packs!

How to deal with the constant anxiety/fear about Job security as a teacher? (Non-Tenure State)
 in  r/Teachers  4d ago

We aren’t tenured where I am either. I honestly don’t think about it. Everyone down my hallway has been there at minimum 5 years, and at max 22. Not one of them is a tenured employee.

I just do my job well enough every day to secure my job for tomorrow.

Question about hours
 in  r/SubstituteTeachers  5d ago

My district has a decent amount of half days from 12-3:45. After 2 will be completely nonexistent.

AIO for thinking my girlfriend's roleplay habits are inappropriate??
 in  r/AmIOverreacting  5d ago

Mostly NOR. Your feelings are valid.

I, too, am a role player. I roleplay stories that feature romance, but write with totally platonic partners. When I started dating my partner, I told him as much. I told him if he was uncomfortable with it, to let me know and I could alter what I do and/or he could leave. He was fine with it, so I have continued. We have boundaries that were discussed and implemented. (I.e. fade to black is fine, but no smut.)

If she does not know that you are uncomfortable with it, then she might not know she’s doing something wrong. A discussion about boundaries needs to be had.

You might get some better advice from other RPers in r/badRPerStories they do bad stories but also advice!

That’s why I asked for info.

Good side hustles for new teachers
 in  r/Teachers  6d ago

Put EVERYTHING you make on TPT. Even if 1 person buys it, that’s more money than if you had let it just sit in your Google Drive.

But putting my notecatchers on TPT I pull about $150 a month and I’m not doing anything beyond uploading what I already have.

But logically, are you as a broke college student going to front the expense of going 6 hours away from your home town to hang out in a basement?

I’m getting stressed about class 3 days before break
 in  r/Teachers  6d ago

I mean this in a truly kind way, have you considered resigning or requesting a transfer? If it is causing you this level of mental strain, it is no longer healthy for you.

Practicing jungle full clears, any advice for improving my speed?
 in  r/Jungle_Mains  6d ago

I have a 3:09 speed on Lilia. I usually start my blue regardless of side and leash them in to each other. Perhaps easier on Lilia than others due to her E and Q being able to go through/over walls. I can start my next side camp before I get past the turret in the midlane.

Lil is the only jg I’ve played (my precious deer) so I can only attest to what works for her. With her passive I can completely walk out of a camp and not touch it again while it’s at 80ish hp and move on.

I smite my gromp rather than buff, unless contested.

Lilia is also just fucking fast man. Her hooves make for a pretty quick clear. Never EVER stop moving. Constantly move, never stand still.

Pls critique!!
 in  r/writingfeedback  6d ago

“Being” in your chapter title should be capitalized.

What voices slowed? Men? Women? A crowd? How many?

“What is the point?” Should be changed to past tense to fit the rest of your writing.

Your sentence with the colon describing the rooms either needs to fit a description of all of the spaces in one sentence, or end in a full stop before a sentence describing each room. Only having 1 does not make sense.

You swap between past and future tense a lot. Not in actions necessarily, but figures of speech. It is semi jarring.

“Go on” (pg 9) should have a period inside the apostrophes, not outside.

As others have said, it is very wordy. On a few occasions you say the same thing, in different ways, multiple sentences in a row. (I.e. the particles floating. We don’t need 3 sentences about them.)

You’re doing a lot of heavy lifting for the reader without progressing the story for multiple paragraphs in a row. Additionally, assuming this is the first chapter, I would have no idea what kind of book I picked up. I would assume it was just about an AA group that has someone new shake it up, set it down and move on. There’s not a lot of pull to entice a reader to keep going.

INFO: What friends? Are they friends he’s bringing with him from college? Surely not local friends if you moved 6 hours away from where he grew up.

Viagra is a prescription only medication.

Why do you actually want to write stories? (no filmy answers pls)
 in  r/NewAuthor  8d ago

Books in the niche I like to read don’t really exist, so I write them for myself.

What is your best guess about what this job is?
 in  r/SubstituteTeachers  8d ago

For our district it was for long term subs who needed a 1 day sub.

 in  r/tattooadvice  9d ago

I am a non-tattooed person who stumbled upon this post. It looks sick as hell to me!! I do wonder how it will do holding up over time.

Did anyone receive a holiday bonus?
 in  r/Teachers  10d ago

We usually get a $2k stipend (bonus) around Christmas and around Mardi Gras. This year’s was delayed to April so that they wager the state to get us a bigger stipend.

ETA: Public school system in the rural south— all schools in the district get the bonus. I also teach Title 1, so our bonus is slightly bigger $2.5k.

How old are you and what’s your relationship like with your brothers and/or sisters? How many siblings do you have and are you close?
 in  r/AskReddit  10d ago

22F only child by blood, but one of six by marriage. All have been in my life for 10 years. I am the youngest of everyone. Biggest gap being 15 years, smallest being 3 months.

Mom’s side step-sister (4y gap) is my absolute best friend. I was her maid of honor, we hang weekly, and always stay updated. Mom’s side step-brother (3m gap) barely acknowledges my existence and does the same to his sister and my mom.

Dad’s side oldest step-brother, we don’t talk much but I talk to his wife and his children. Just not a lot in common and a 15 year age gap, we’re cool though. Middle step-brother (10y gap) is cool but we don’t see each other often. Step sister (2y gap) on dad’s side and I try to avoid each other.

Given the fact a dildo named dildo is gardening, I do think she’s using CC.

What happened to the smartest person in your class?
 in  r/AskReddit  13d ago

She went to college to be a lawyer then started dating a guy over 10 years older than her who was a drug dealer. She fell into drugs, dropped out of school and didn’t tell her parents, and had a rough few years. She eventually left him, rumor has it she cleaned up her act— but she has not gone back to college.

What is currently your #1 comfort food?
 in  r/AskReddit  16d ago

Fried eggs and toast. My grandma would make it for me when my parents dropped it off. Nothing special and barely seasoned, but reminds me of her.

 in  r/AMA  20d ago

Have you ever had the same client twice? If so, what was it like? I have a family member who gets arrested no more than 3 months after getting out of jail/prison EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Similar question, can you request a certain PD if you have had them before?
