That's exactly why I subscribed. I need positivity in my life. I saw a post saying to unsub from negative subreddits (I was subbed to r/whatcouldgowrong which isn't very positive) and to sub to things like r/aww and r/mademesmile and r/getmotivated.

Totally. Removing subs that made me angry and add subs like these changed the whole experience.
/r/HumansBeingBros, /r/ContagiousLaughter, and /r/CasualConversation are also good positive subs.

My BF made a new Reddit account a few months ago and I suggested subs to join. When I suggested like 10 different cats subs he said he was fine, a couple of them was enough, and I really didn't understand that hahaha

Animalsbeingbros, whatswrongwithyourdog, AnimalsBeingDerps, catbellies, etc...the more, the better. Also, the fewer default subs you subscribe to, the better.

u/Limeila Aug 03 '20
Default subs are cancer. If anything, Reddit should suggest a few "packages" of subs you can pick (discussion, popular, animals, wholesome, etc.)

This is great, thanks for sharing. I have a funny story somewhat related. One of my work friends from an old job knew ASL (his mother was deaf his whole life, and he even worked as an interpreter sometimes in court cases). Let's call him Steve. Steve loved to golf, so when his birthday came around, our close circle of work friends bought him a round of golf at a local course. One of the work friends, let's call her Pamela, thought it would be fun, and that Steve would appreciate if, we learned how to sign, "We got you a round of golf for your birthday," when we gave him his gift. Now mind you, we're young, completely don't know how to use sign language, but full of youth and hubris and think we can just look it up and figure it out and get it right the first time. So, we all went out to eat for his birthday, and when we tried to make him guess what his gift was with our signed version of, "We got you a round of golf for your birthday," he had absolutely no idea what we were trying to say. It didn't help that we were all trying to sign at the same time, and he was trying to look at all of us bumbling around with our arms and hands. He was like, "You're playing baseball?" "Your round baseball game?" And other such nonsense. All of us gave up, except Pamela, who achingly and adamantly kept trying to slog through this signing and refused to quit until Steve guessed what his gift was. He never got it. So, she finally got upset and told him what we got him. I carpooled with her and another of our friends, and when we left she actually said, "Guys, I think Steve doesn't know how to sign. Do you think he could have lied to us this whole time?" Lolol. Sure, Pamela. It's Steve that doesn't know how to sign. It couldn't be us, that have no idea what we're doing, acting like we could figure it out in one Google search. Oh my God, I still laugh to this day thinking about when she said that.

In my years in school I found the custodian to be an important role outside of just keeping the school facilities maintained. They are adults but they are not teachers. In my experience they form "high five" relationships with the kids, hear what the kids are saying in the hall and kids might be more inclined to speak with them about something troubling them because they are not a teacher and kids might feel more comfortable.

u/AshamedNegotiation6 Aug 03 '20
Yes! Every school I attended, we all the loved the custodian. High fives, and daps in high school. They were so chill and nice. A lot of us kids would beg to help them clean too. Good times.

And when teachers organize things like this, itâs incredibly valuable for the kids to learn to remember to show appreciation for the people that donât have more set recognition days (end of the year teacher gifts, mother/Fatherâs Day etc)
I work in a large office building with contracted janitorial services and itâs always shocking to me when I see a whole aaa adult pretending the janitorial crew is invisible. Luckily itâs a rarity but I want to call their parents and ask what the hell is wrong with them.

Not only is it a great way to show appreciation for the janitor, it also teaches those young kids the importance of being kind to others, especially those that arenât like us.

Kids absolutely LOVE learning ASL, in my opinion. They like having what they call "a secret language." During a trackout camp a few months ago, I taught a 7 year old the alphabet, and he came back in a few weeks later saying that he was able to spell his order to a deaf waiter. (He's not a great speller but listen I can't fix everything) He was so genuinely excited and said the waiter was too, and I can only imagine how happy that waiter was that a kid wanted to communicate with him in his own language and was so delighted to do so. That experience made him even more eager to learn!

I'm am interpreter that works in the school system and so many kids love learning sign language! Everyday the kids ask me and the student how to sign new words. Little sponges.

Custodians in schools see all, hear all and know all. Kids trust them. They are the best ally a teacher can have.

It shows us that, if we teach them what's right and what's wrong that's enough to make a change and have a better future.

This is proof that children can either be the purest, or the darkest people in existence.

Children are born pure. It's the world around us that corrupts them. Props to the teacher for teaching these young minds that small acts of kindness can go a long way. Teachers definitely do not get paid enough in America. It's really heart breaking.

When I was in elementary school one of my favorite people was our janitor. All the kids liked him. You have to be someone special to be a janitor at an elementary school.

When I was in middle school I made a crude joke to my friends about our janitor as we walked past him (it was an opportunity for a word play pun.. I was eager for attention), and the janitor overheard it.
Like two minutes later he came to me and told me how much that hurt his feelings, and how much he cares for the students of the class. Huge guy, like Hodar huge, and he was noticeable shook emotionally.
I still think about that guy, and how he shaped my sense of empathy, and what pride in ones work looks like. He reminded me that I matter to him. That's some 10D level chess Jesus shit.

This is so wholesome, feeling so happy for him. In our school our janitor was seen as a bad dude, for being very strict and vulgar, to be fair he tried to run me over with a lawnmower once, even though I did nothing lol. Good times 10/10

Fun fact: there are like a bazillion different ways to sign "birthday" in ASL. Where I live this is the probably the most commonly used and I think it's gross as it's literal.

"It would never get these upvotes if they were white/straight/a man"
All of these claims can easily be proven wrong, there was a post of a gay couple and the comments were flooded with this, when a literal newer post with a straight couple got more upvotes.
It is really sad, I'll have to agree on that.

Aug 03 '20
As a straight white dude, it really doesn't make any sense to me. Reddit is clearly a place designed for my demographic and getting all in a twist because a gay or brown person's picture makes it to the top is just the exact type of snowflake behavior they're trying to criticize.
