Poo, I was gonna spam jigsaw and get a bunch of duplicate items! But life called so I had to disappear ;;
Mayhaps I'll have more time if there's a winter/christmas event!

Eep, I have vanished! Suddenly had to move across town with little notice. Slowly getting my life all organized again :'D
Then I can have time to chat on here again.
I also have another final next week on top of 40 hour work week so RIP I'll be dead for a little while longer

@totalanimefan:
I love traveling around by bus or train, honestly. It's healthier using your own two legs a bit more anyway!

Also, as it turns out, this bit wasn't even meant to be my homework. Information got mixed up and this is meant to be discussed during class NEXT week, with everyone together. Rather than writing it out alone But she liked my papers of car rants.

@Miss Sandman:
Aww I'm happy for you!! Soon!

@Hachi:
Yeah, I actually watched a video somewhere saying that its better to not recycle at all, than to recycle incorrectly. Because of the issue we've had with china denying our recycling and its becoming too much for workers to have to sift through it all.
I just want to stop using single use plastics all together~

@songlord:
That's a tricky one indeed. Maybe the counselor can advise you on how to help her while still showing fairness?

@Mousy:
That kinda makes me think of my housemate's daughter. She's 10 but she can barely write or spell and her reading is pretty rough. Her teachers become really impatient and rude toward her, not helping the situation at all. I'm sure they probably face the similar dilemma "should I hold her back or not?"

But on the other hand, she has a mother who is not very encouraging. She's very passive aggressive while the kid is trying to get through homework, and just keeps complaining "just get it done so I can go to bed" and "you spelled that wrong. come on, just get it right" kind of things like... I suspect the kid is just dyslexic and under a lot of stress that her mom piles on. Then her inability to focus comes in..

I wonder how similar this case could be to your student? How are they learning at home, what kind of rudeness or distractions are they dealing with?

Sometimes its not what people say, but the vibe that they give off. I like to believe that there's a reason my mind naturally wants to avoid certain people while I can put up with others. There's just something about them and gods know what, but do I really want to find out

Dunno if vibes from typing are a true feel, but maybe its just something like that (plus what they're saying is simply annoying). Its relateable!

@kiwi:
YOU DID IT
thank you

Oh yes
I love to try and post a subject that can be discussed or might bring amusement of some sort.
I don't mind the simple "Hi hows it goin" threads, but I tend to have less time to just sit around and chat in length. So I just throw out my subjects and run back to my duties lmao Its easier to come back to a thread that has a solid topic going on.

Helps that I'm taking a communications class, which gets my social gears turning for homework and such

Riddle me that yall

It starts with an H

I'm definitely not cheating on a word game

*edit
feel free to discuss wordy riddles or something in here

@wildfire:
Well of course I am!

New anythings smell amazing.
books, electronics, threads.

@totalanimefan:
I totally agree! My college dean lady has this van that is SO. BIG. Everyone calls it a boat. Like, I'm amazed how huge it is.
this is her personal vehicle

I dont think I have enough education about housing. I haven't thought about it as much as I think about things like residential zone restrictions. The way its set up so houses are in these ginormous clusters and businesses are separated so you HAVE to drive to get to most basic needs.
Where I live, its getting pretty bad and ends up really clustered in one spot cause thats where all the shops are. Too many people try to squeeze in. There are probably better ways to use our space more efficiently, while still increasing homes as necessary.

@totalanimefan:
gods, I agree! There's a stereotype on the big trucks here for a reason. They tend to drive like assholes. Cutting people off, racing down the roads and getting aggressive. I think it takes a certain personality to even want to drive one of those things. Unless its required for a job, of course.

@totalanimefan:
Yeah I'm 27 and only just started college. Much of the reason being I couldn't drive to access pretty much anything except for a basic retail job for so long. Until I moved.
I live in a tiny ass city in Colorado. Its also not very safe to use public transportation here, which adds to dilemma of depending on cars. But I still rely on the bus a lot to get to and from school.

That's scary, I'm so glad you guys are alright. Vehicles are too friggin big in the US. There are sooooo many of those giant black trucks where I live and they take up 2 parking spaces! Plus they always park in front of other peoples' home (which always ends up being mine, no matter where I live, so I have to park a block away just so I'm not also blocking someone else's home). That's also exactly what hit my friend in the accident. She probably would have lived if it were smaller cars. She was driving in a neighborhood as well!

@Hachi:
OH MAN dont get me started on single-use plastics. It is definitely a dilemma I definitely become guilty of many times. Like eating out and using the plastic cups or utensils. Or living with people who continue to buy and serve food on styrofoam plates ect. but I use them anyways.
I wish US would ban single use plastics. We could stand to be less lazy and just clean our reusable things.

@totalanimefan:
I argue it a lot when people give me a hard time for not driving. I've been extremely terrified for a LONG time, only recently got to the point where I can drive a car straight down one road for 15 minutes to get to my job. But I still get massive panic attacks if the slightest thing happens, like the other night when my windshield fogged up a bit. Scares me so much not being on my feet, man. I literally just lost a friend 3 weeks ago to a car accident. Hasn't made it any easier to cope in a country so dependent on them.

We'd have to construct better public transportation. They aren't 100% free of environmental footprints, but could minimize it a lot to less vehicles..

@totalanimefan:
I just read a crap ton about it lmao
It starts with how cars were cheaper and easier to obtain in the US, so it became regular for most households to have personal vehicles. But also that the residential zones are so limited here, it causes our building to be more spread out, making travel to get anywhere much longer. There is also less convenience around walking/biking/ect. to get to places because many areas haven't built around such a concept. Plus, again, there's more distance to travel so it's a problem anyways.

On another note, this paper still confuses me like hell
Its like I"m supposed to be doing this with groups but I was told to do it alone as homework. wat
Also it wants me to come up with solutions so I think I chose a hard topic to solve..
