Toooooo CHALLENGING for ya???

My mind played a record scratch at the end. Just why?

Yeah, I’m doing my best to learn the concepts but I have a ways to go.

Horseshoe theory strikes again.

The early 2000s.

Unfortunately, failing classes in public education is not at all common anymore. It requires a lot of documentation, meetings, calls, individualized curriculum adjustments, and a multitude of second chances. On top of that, administration is not a fan because it makes the school look bad in their eyes.

A lot of the teachers I worked with would vent their frustration that it was way too much work to fail a student or get them dropped from the program. Unfortunately, I was too busy figuring out how to update the curriculum from Windows 7, on machines built to run Windows 7, as well as just learning how to teach (my “training” was about half a day of sitting in on other classes), to fight that kind of battle. At some point, it’s a disservice to the rest of the class to spend that time and energy on the ones who are there to coast.

I tried my best. Hopefully everybody learned a few things. If nothing else, I certainly did.

The lack of etiquette is really frustrating. Had a tech student that was always putting in both earbuds as I was speaking. Had to walk over and wave my hand in front of the screen to get their attention.

When they graduated they said they were excited to get a job in the industry. Internally can’t help but think “with what knowledge or experience? You spent the entire class blocking it out.”

Spiritfarer, To the Moon, Gris (no words in this one but still a good story imo), anything SuperGiant has ever made with my favorite being Transistor.

Ah, the old Lemmy cannibaloo.

BIL got the Slay the Spire board game the other day. We played Act 1, hoping to beat Act 2 at some point this weekend. Pretty enjoyable playing the game in a cooperative fashion.

And whatever you do…

Don’t! Just don’t. And if you are about to, do not. So say the hooded figures of the dog park, which, may I remind you, does not exist.

And now…the weather.

BOY, I SAID BOY, YA CAN’T JUST MASTURBATE TO COMPLETION OVER ASUKA’S COMATOSE BODY, YA HEAR?

CAESAAAAAR

That’s like saying HDDs will forget numbers if you store them next to a powerful magnet.

Or drive a nail into them. Granted, most of these devices will stop functioning if you do that…

This is what I’ve heard called the “bus buffer”, which means “run your team so that if someone is hit by a bus you aren’t totally screwed.”

Do you think stereotyping is okay just because someone else does it? Nevermind the misogynistic implications of basing a woman’s value on her usefulness “in the household.”

Please don’t make sweeping generalizations about whether or not women are “of use in the household” ever again, thanks.

You can’t get snakes from chicken eggs.

I saw a flag similar to this but the American flag was being pulled away to reveal a Confederate flag. Which… I actually had to think about for a bit lol. Felt more like a statement about people who fly American flags everywhere.
