    A realtor called me because I was looking at condos on his site. I can't afford to shop here man, I'm just browsing.

    What happened in 2019?
  • hexaflexagonbear hexaflexagonbear 4h ago 100%

    Only thing I remember from 2019 is that after mostly isolating from people for over a year due to a friend's death, I made the decision to be more social again. Went to a friend's wedding. Started doing a lot of my old social activities. World shut down. Lmao.

    It sucks because it's probably unhealthy for the kids, and there's real potential for it to become a major societal problem*. But it's totally understandable from the parents POV.

    * I don't think this is even a kids these days observation. Constant phone access has been detrimental to my attention span, and I didn't grow up with these things.

    That's fair, but while an LLM might be good at giving you a list of topics, or even a loose script for a lecture, coming up with content that keeps a class of children engaged seems like the type of task it won't currently or ever do reliably.

    That's sounds maddening, I go through about a page per 10 mins of lecture time at the college level and that obviously moves through at a faster pace.

    I don't teach K-12, but isn't the main challenge not lesson planning, but like a lot of crowd control. At least like K-9 I imagine it's a nightmare just keeping kids seated and paying attention.

    Naive kid me was always like "sure teachers get a lot of vacation but they don't control when" not realizing your manager just says no to your vacation requests. One thing I don't get is why tf don't we just get holidays and not have to use our vacation days certain time of the year. Like no one is around over Christmas or when schools are off in the spring. People who have other vacation plans broadly are just clocking in and dicking around all day anyway just give it as a holiday.

    I kept a seperate speeadsheet and let my students know the site's grades were a reference and a lower bound for their grade (mostly because I was too lazy to figure out how to do the max of multiple rubrics).

    There I am in removedloo, city of magic, city of light. Ensconced upon my porch in broad daylight, ‘round about noon, my rising time. Drinking something of a potable beverage, playing my guitar, long after everybody in the neighborhood has packed up their lunch box and gone off down to Kaiser Aluminum to put in their shift.

    This enrages my neighbors. One in particular across the road, a little retired banker fellah, been known to cannonball his rotundity across the road, stand there and publicly berate me for my sloth and indolence. “Why don’t you get a job!” He says, well now you’ve heard about all that.

    Well now me being hip to the Socratic method, fires back a question. "Why?”

    “Why” he says, taken aback “If you had a job you could make three, four, five dollars an hour”

    I said “Why?” pursuing the same tact.

    He said “Hell! You make three, four, five dollars an hour you could have a savings account to save up some of that money”

    I said “Why?”

    He said “Well, you save up enough of that money, young fellah, and pretty soon you never have to work another day in your life”

    I said “Hell, that’s what I’m doing right now!”
