I have, but that has nothing to do with my previous comment. My friend, your original post (that you have now edited, don’t move the goalposts just because you want to fight) made broad generalizations. My comment was an attempt to help you learn how to reflect and be critical about your beliefs: I thought that might be something a user with the name “open_mind” would appreciate. Fuck me, right? Well done on showing everyone what an open mind you have. Learn how to question yourself when you feel like fighting and spreading negativity. Just because others didn’t react the way you expected doesn’t make them wrong or bad, and being a dick to someone who was trying to have a constructive conversation is spreading negativity–what you were originally complaining about.

Part of having an open mind is trying to consider your personal biases and where you lack knowledge and expertise. One of the reasons you are getting negative responses is that you stated a very broad generalization that simply isn’t true. Life is not black and white, it is grey and invincible against simple explanations.

Yeah! I love that!!

Holy crap! That is hilarious and awesome. This guy went to a lot of work to edit this together… Part one is 24 hours! I’m set for awhile. Thanks so much.

“Flowers?”

Thanks for reminding me of this sketch. So great.

Absolutely horrendous. Please never listen to whoever gave you that. I am very serious: that shows such a lack of understanding anything about people, whoever is using this as a teaching material should be fired and banned from working with children. But they won’t, because toxic bullshit like this is what administrators love.

I am really sorry this is your educational experience. It is not supposed to be like this. Introversion and extroversion are just stupid labels that try to make things easy. Those labeled introverts are often the most generous, thoughtful people who actually listen to and cooperate with others.

I mean… I clearly understand that choice, but just be careful its a tear you can spare. I’ve run out before, and boy it made the next level total shite. If you aren’t concerned with accuracy, maybe consider consulting the local birds? Especially your corvids. They are everywhere and always have a decent estimate.

Well, that’s reasonable, as along as you both consented to this agreement. We are excellent cat conveyors.

No cat should be relegated to just a timepiece! Yes, they are excellent at timekeeping, but so are lizards and violets! Much more convenient.

Of course there’s a buffet! I bet there’s like at least three! And there’s crab legs every Friday.

I really enjoy sharing my knowledge of writing, academia, law, literature, and history. I am a complete dumbass in many ways, but it’s because I put all my points into those topics on the character making screen before start.

I cannot remember what 7x8 equals for sure, but I am a wizard at helping students sort out what colleges to apply to, how to write their essays to best present themselves to universities, and then what school they should go to once they are accepted. I can make teenagers love Dante and Shakespeare, Homer and Twain. I have a stupidly deep knowledge of London…ok, too much sharing, I will stop!

Now I kinda want to watch it by date depicted… Do you know of a list somewhere for that?

I really enjoyed reading your thoughts. I have been trying to do much of the same as far as mindfulness and not forcing things. Listening to myself and the universe. Unfortunately, this will probably get deleted because this is not the appropriate community. I’m not really sure what community would be best, but I hope I find that community somewhere on Lemmy! @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com, do you have any ideas what would be an appropriate community?

Don’t be too mad at dad: it is definitely a teachable moment to show a kid that even if you try your best, sometimes people are jerks and you don’t get the outcome you wanted. Showing a child how to deal with that with grace but firmness would be excellent. Unfortunately, I expect that this was an older teacher and admin is afraid of her. You might not get anywhere with unleashing hell, though I will now choose to believe that that’s exactly what dad did and the horrible person got fired. There will be justice in my imagination!

This is correct. This person was not a teacher and makes everything worse for all of us who actually want to encourage and educate young people. I rarely feel anger, but this kind of thing absolutely enrages me. Why would you do this to a child??

If you can’t solve that problem, can you solve another slightly easier problem? Sometimes it is the level of difficulty that is too high for the moment, and you have to find something a little less challenging and repeatedly conquer that before you are capable of the more challenging problem. You may also be experiencing some anxiety because you are telling yourself you can’t remember it or do it. To work on this you will have to change your attitude toward your ability and working on the easier problems may also help you gain more confidence.

These are just suggestions from a veteran teacher who works with many students with the same issues; these are the things I’ve seen help the most. I hope they help you!
