Somethingsomething19's question (8)

How many classes do you guys have in college? Am I just lazy for thinking 8 is too many? I have no frame of reference because where I'm from everyone has to take mandatory core classes in college (philosophy, p.e, english, french and 2 electives) and my program is already 5 to 6 related to my field per semester. I dropped some classes so I'm behind my classmates and I'll have to do some over the summer. Lowk stressing me out lol

I am so tired of people thinking they know better than professionals when they don't even have basic knowledge on the topic.

I'm a student in dental hygiene who recently argued in a YouTube comment section with a guy who had said that if fluoride was effective, we wouldn't be seeing such high rates of gum illnesses in the population. Not what fluoride is for. Not even close. I took the time to explain why, but no reply.
Then another person jumped in. They were on my side, but claimed fluoride only works when ingested and not through topical applications like toothpaste. Not true. I had to correct them too, but still: no reply. No reply to me, but the two bozos keep arguing with each other for days. Misinformation against misinformation.

Why are we so stupid?

How did your school, high school or other, treat attendance? I've only gone to schools where people couldn't care less. In high school I used to have a friend with 250 absences and I was sitting at 50 or 60 myself. All we ever got was a little slap on the wrist. But as long as our parents excused the absence, they couldn't do anything. Parents didn't even need to call in, it was all done online. For the record, my mom excused everything because I had good grades anyway and my friend's parents didn't know she was cutting class because she found out their password and logged into their account to excuse her own absences lol

I think this might be an original experience but my favorite made-up game to play a while back was yaoi bingo. I chose a random popular yaoi and saw how long it would take me to get a bingo when all squares are overused bl manwha tropes (in case you were wondering, usually less than 10 chapters). I'll share a picture of the old bingo board I made in the replies.

So... What squares/tropes would you add?

I'll go first, take double the dosage of high strength pain meds because I wanted to sleep through the night. I'm not an active suicide risk I swear just a desperate insomniac with work tomorrow. I had it laying around from when I got my wisdom teeth pulled but turns out you don't kid with opioids (shockers) I still feel like shit 0/10 experience

I need your help. My friends and I are planning a powerpoint night and the idea is that we'll all be assigned a yaoi with a red flag ml, read it and then make slides about why they're not THAT bad actually even if all we have to go off of is that one time they asked for consent.

We need some ideas so who are some of YOUR most hated, toxic mls?

I know, I know. But I've already spoken to my closest friends about it. 2/3 have never been in a relationship and I need more opinions. I'm in my first relationship ever and with a girl (I'm a girl also). It's been a month now. I'm a very anxious person and handling college, my job and being in a relationship sometimes overwhelms me. I won't lie, I've thought about breaking up but these thoughts go away after a good night's rest.

Anyway, she just sent a text to ask if I'm uncomfortable with kissing cause I'm stiff and sometimes laugh nervously. I said no, but I do feel a bit awkward with long kisses; maybe making out doesn't do that much for me. Then she started asking a bunch of questions. Why? If not that, what else do I want to do with her? And after I said nothing came to mind right now (mind you I'm sitting at the dinner table studying for my exam tomorrow), she said if I IDENTIFY as bi there must be things I want to do with a woman. Then she asked "do you not want me?" And I had a full blown panic attack because I couldn't just say yes. I think I've made her doubt I even like women. Or like her. I do like (and love?) her but I can't imagine having sex yet. I need time and she's ready to give it to me, but what if it's a sign she's not the right one? I feel awful for even doubting in the first place.

What are your thoughts on this? And thanks for reading all the way

I hate being vulnerable. I hate feeling pitied. I hate when I cry infront of people and then they ask me "hey... how are you doing now?" every week with that voice like I'm a wounded puppy. It makes me wanna punch a wall. Even if I still feel like shit now I feel like I have something to prove. Like no, I've never been better ACTUALLY. It sucks cause I know they're just worried too.

It's not like I wasn't allowed to express my emotions when I was a kid so I don't know why I'm like this. Anyone else feel so strongly about this?
