We don’t have this kind of policy in my school—this is my job basically . I work with grade level resource and the students with behavior. I have successfully remediated a lot of repeat aggression. As a team we are able to put families into contact with behavioral resources that are school/tax funded. The worst part of the position is honestly just the adults who want them gone. That’s just kicking the can… It can take weeks to bring dysfunctional behavior into under complete control. Sometimes I feel like I’m saving my kids from these awful adults, and not the other way around.

The pasta. Especially when it’s layered. Ick.

I’d crumble to dust from sad.

One time I had a dream about the ascii game I played. I dreamed it both IN TEXT, and my brain produced images of the people, places, and things at the same time as I usually imagined them.

If you engage even one out of ten times, you’re reinforcing it. You can redirect the conversation. Talk to another person, change the subject, completely disengage with them on that specific topic.

You can set expectations privately going in. Set the boundaries. Reiterate them gently but firmly in a general manner. Polite and businesslike when the forbidden topic comes up, cheerful and interested when any other topic comes up. Again, never directly engaging with the forbidden topic.

All this assumes you still want to get along with this person.

Pretty accurate, towards my mid-thirties I started having money and caring less…I just think the second part is a bit of burnout as well.

Unlikely. I have always found dating sites pretty uncomfortable.

Even in the best scenarios, there were never any people who shared my interests. Now I’m older/kinda exhausted of it. :3

If I was younger and still trying, I imagine I would want something that felt less like being in a display case, visually. Maybe also making people who didn’t share any of my values or interests unable to swipe.

Overall very wholesome. :)

Maybe. Try this! https://gprivate.com/6j529

Personally idk I find it too wiggly looking.

My ex-husband cheated on me for about 3 years. I noticed I was starting to get a lot of ads for dating sites at home, which was my first flag.

We went rock climbing at his workplace and his female coworker didn’t recognize me/know of me and was all over him.

Was in bed and saw bumble on his phone reflected off his glasses onto my phone screen when I stopped playing a game.

He was, in general, an atrocious person. But being alone was a terrifying prospect at the time so I let it go on for longer than I should have. In the end it wasn’t the even cheating that caused me to leave.

In that weather sometimes you are sliding through anyway.

As a people scientist, it’s definitely hubris!

This would have worked for me! I say give it a go, you never know. Tech was going on about the bios of my little work Lenovo that got chucked like a beyblade to me the other day, and it was pretty adorable. I guess when people are nerding out on the things they enjoy that’s pretty attractive.
