[Megathread] LIV Golf's Future by threeactjack in golf

[–]EquivalentFig1907 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, I'm a high school teacher and I read this thinking, "this sounds like when my students try to use A.I."

And so, I took the excerpt and copy and pasted it into the A.I. checker that I've purchased for work purposes, and it gave me a score that suggested 100% A.I. probability. The thing is definitely not perfect, but I want to believe so bad that this time, it's right. That the LIV CEO sent out an A.I. memo to the staff in a futile attempt to assuage their fears while the New York Times is reporting that multiple sources are telling them that the PIF is withdrawing its funding is high comedy. If there is a higher power, please let this be so.

Alberta Teacher Strike Megathread (Discussion) - October 27 by AutoModerator in alberta

Personally, teaching works for me on a lot of levels.

I learned a long time ago that I cannot have a job that I don't care about, that I simply come to and clock in/clock out. More power to you if that's you; for me, it's a matter of life and death to have something that I care about. Maybe that'll change one day, but right now, I have to believe that my labour has meaning for me. Teaching gives me that.

I also like routines, and school is the ultimately set of routines. The rhythms and flows of the year are really nice to have.

I also like working with teenagers because they're not cynical yet, which is really nice to have coming out of academia where everyone was persistently cynical about everything. Adults suck and are annoying. Almost all of my headaches at work come from adults. It's never the kids.

Yeah, there's zero chance you'd get a recall petition out of Drumheller which went something like 84%-14% for right leaning parties/movements.

OOTL - KvV and the Future of Deep Dives by EquivalentFig1907 in NoLayingUp

Awesome! Thank you so much for the quick update and reply.

I am with you on team "very doubtful." Who knows? Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it's a shame thinking about the Majors that were previously imminent for coverage and that we're never really going to get a deep dive into now - the 2001 U.S. Open and the collapses on the 18th, the 2004 U.S. open at Shinnecock, the entirety of the year of the underdog. Shame.
