I am taking a class and the instructor knows I am hearing impaired. The only accommodation I need is to sit in the front and to the left of the classroom and I can do the rest on my own.
Between reading lips and sitting close enough, I never have a problem except in very rare instances.

@Tinkeringbell YW, just to go into more detail.... If we find a troll, we first flag it then VTC/Down-vote so we can get it closed and to -3, then we delete if a mod hasn't handled it.
First comments didn't come for about... five hours after the post was made, I answered it quickly, got +7 and then the comments started. Worked out well.
@Videonauth yeah, i noticed. although i wasn't seriously angry. there were two ppl going at each other, and i was probably the only other one here at the time. had to say "shut up you two!" meh.
Answers that are very clearly lacking in explanation (so no explanation of 'how to do that' and 'why that works' aren't necessarily NAA. Leave a comment explaining what's wrong, downvote and flag as Very Low Quality — Tinkeringbell1 hour ago
Since both VLQ and NAA flags send a post to the same Low Quality Post queue, does this really matter? Food for thought? Reviewers aren't shown what flags were raised.
@NVZ Leave a comment and I'll address it later in an answer... I'm to busy on another meta right now ;)
That's why I mentioned the 'comment' part though
A comment saying 'this needs more work' or 'this is not an answer'....
Should make it clear ;-)
Waaah.... I'm struggling to finish my answer...
One of the downsides to deleting things fast is that if the question was genuine, the OP doesn't really have any means of communicating with us anymore, since comments get locked.
One of the downsides of leaving troll posts undeleted will be that the post is still there for everyone to see and comment on...
... The question from two days ago was on the site, closed and downvoted for over 24 hours. Did it hurt anything in that state?
Being below -4 kept it off the front page and being closed kept it from being answered. It had comments asking for clarification and pointing out the content issues...
@Catija I dunno really... My problem with the ones we deleted today was that that second one was getting a lot of comments after it was closed, some of them quite rude. How many comments did you have to delete on that one from 2 days ago(if I may ask?)
@Catija Usually if closed with a comment about improvement needed, I'll wait a day to see if they edit. But if it's really rubbish, I'll delete - remember they can edit and undelete
@Tinkeringbell There was only one comment deleted off of either of the attempts today... it was really bad but that's not really "a lot of comments after it was closed".
@RoryAlsop I have no problem with that... that's what I did! But the push I'm getting on meta is that it needs to be deleted immediately and without any sort of attempt to ask for clarity.
I want to chime in as well, because I casted the first close vote on the first question AND raised the issue in chat.
I don't know for sure, but I think that at that time, there were some discussions all mingling together.
The first thread that I picked out is the use of rude/abusive flags. ...
The Oxford English Dictionary records casted as being used as the past tense of cast from the Middle English period to the sixteenth century. The latest citation showing its use is dated 1526. If it is making a comeback, I haven’t heard or seen it, but that may be because it is not widespread in ...
@NVZ Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get another. I, however, likely won't. I don't do enough of the stuff (or can't, in a couple cases) that the hats require. :) Oh well, I like my Cosmic Brain
@LLF it's like a good mix of all these amazing 80s movies: editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/… It's not a parody, or copycat. It's a pastiche.. I donno how to express it clearer.
So it brings in a lot of nostalgia to some adults who loved the 80s. and kids and teens love it for its main actors are kids.
the story proceeds with the kids overcoming hurdles not despite being kids, but exactly because they're kids. and adults fail to overcome these adventures the way the kids do within the story..

I am stuck between two sides, I am close friends with a family that broke apart and I am not sure how to help or even if I should. It's bothering me quite a bit and I'm not the one going through the drama of the split.
I don't want to pick sides...
There is a nice new guy at my job who I have been getting to know more lately and I think he might like me. He sits at the desk next to mine so we often talk when we are alone in the room.
We share interests in fitness and healthy lifestyle and I have a vegan recipe blog.
