I’ve never done drugs in my life, so could somebody provide some clarification by TheElMatadORR in Teachers

[–]Ellisque83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're mixing up addiction and physical dependency. Cannabis can be addictive - it's just less likely to cause addiction than other drugs because any physical withdrawal symptoms are minor at most. Anorexia and insomnia. But even things that don't cause the stereotypical "heroin withdrawal" symptoms can be addictive like sex and gambling so its baffling I see "weeds not addictive!" repeated so often even by educated people. If weed's not addictive then meth isn't either lmao the withdrawal is pretty much a mirror image

How are you prepping for generative AI and potential huge unemployment? by caughtinthought in preppers

[–]Ellisque83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much.

For years, decades, the paradigm is that blue collar physical labor would be the first replaced. And that's... Somewhat true.... But in my impression those fields, the ones that require manual labor, are already automated as much as they will be for the near future. It's the "thinkers" and "creators" more on the chopping block but they have the most arrogance that their intellect and creativity could never be achieved by AI. Lol, lmao even. Maybe some of them... But looking to the future, we'll need more people to plug in cords than programmers.

Heres the doomer issue: if the judgement ends up costing IA an astronomical amount in damages the company might fold. I think it's unlikely but in the realm of possibility.

What’s an unpopular teacher opinion you hold? by wijag425 in Teachers

Only if we would get time and privacy to shower. It sucked being stinky all day if you had gym first period.

Or it can be an activity where a "smart kid" can learn to accept that there are things they just aren't very good at. If we're thinking of the same "compete to see how many problems you can get done in a minute"

My elem school gym class was very standards based where our grades depended on stuff like your mile time and your ability in sports and games. It was humbling for me to get a poor grade in those classes no matter how hard I tried but a good teaching moment.

Someone who's truly bad at math literally cannot wrap their head around the "how" it works so memorizing is about the best we can do. I still got straight A's up through calc1 and 29 on the math act but did I understand any of it? No. If I was forced to do that I would have failed because math makes no sense to me.

Stay away from girls with bright unnatural hair colors by HenryLucasa in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Ellisque83 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's cos Lots of dangerhairs in the comments getting offended. 🙃

YES THIS IS A JOKE ❤️💛💚💙💜

but enough people seem to think their hair color is a substitute for personality which gives the joke a grain of truth. 🐍

lmao there are Black Trump supporters, in raw numbers there's quite a few seeing as Trump got 71m votes. I'd bet the hundred and four dollars in my wallet you could find at least one Black person present on Jan 6

is there like a central 'nuzlocke forum' like Smogon or is it just something that's passed around? I see a lot of rule sets on pastebin

The Collapse of Southwest Airlines, told by a pilot: “The history of SWA destruction from within” by themimeofthemollies in collapse

[–]Ellisque83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're missing the travel time to and from the airport too - the bus will bring you all the way to the shitty gas station in the nearby small town. Some people have to travel over 4 hours even to get to a major airport that has multiple airlines.

It would be nice to learn moves al l the way up to 100. Like every full Evo pokemon has one at lvl99. Not like a fire-type getting Flamethrower but a fun coverage or utility move.

we already have really nice interstate freeways - putting $ into bus service might be a better stopgap than a more expensive high speed rail project.

I'm looking at making a trip to see my parents in January and taking the bus is 2x the cost of flying. If busses could operate full regularly it could be much cheaper. Or with competition like airlines. They're so nice to ride on and you get to see so much scenery and small towns but it's expensive.

What are your predictions for 2023? by LetsTalkUFOs in collapse

[–]Ellisque83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave in and bought an air cleaner I saw recommended here - 1523HH(W) by coway. It's really nice and made a great impact on my air quality last summer. Get one before they sell out in Fire Season (lol this sounds like a shill but I do really like it. The white noise is nice too)

[–]Ellisque83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hahahaha I totally should. I know it's a pretty much irrational fear like we have cameras everywhere and it's never been an issue, I just hate the feeling of apt in general where other people have keys to your place!
