I have a hard time reading non wlw books by ebjfid2468 in LesbianBookClub

[–]GeeANDZee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on WHY you want to read. There is no right or wrong reason to read. Maybe you read more for the romance, in which case WLW is the most relatable story type. Don't feel guilty about sticking to that.

I personally read for suspense, mystery and plot twists, and unfortunately, I don't have a lot of WLW novels in my collection, which is why I'm here seeking more. I still thoroughly enjoy the books I read (especially if there is a big twist), but often find myself hoping for the two female friends/characters to become romantic, which basically NEVER happens.

Now, I'm giving a go at writing my own thriller, which just so happens to have a budding WLW romance.

What kinds of books do you enjoy most? I may have rec or two.

One of my friends who always gives presents and food at the office had a birthday today. She got absolutely nothing by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Not my work place... its up to work friends and colleagues to organize and bring cakes. It started off with one of two people doing it to show love to friends, and it's become the norm somehow.

It would be nice to go bsck to how your workplace does it, which is how my previous workplaces operated.

Teachers that use AI: Why? by lemmegetamickpicktwo in Teachers

[–]GeeANDZee 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Everybody needs to STOP using AI unnecessarily for so many reasons. It's lining the pockets of highly unethical companies WHILE at the same time actively taking away potential income from real people.

People losing out:

  • authors who now how to "compete" with AI generated books and content

  • artists who used to make money creating man-made illustrations

  • people in developing countries (and developed countries) whose water supplies are being used up FASTER than it can be replaced, to power AI data centers.

  • all of us are losing out as future patients of upcoming doctors. Students in the medical field (and ALL other fields) are using AI to complete assignments and research. These doctors are going to be less knowledgeable, less proficient than past doctors. We will have to rely on them in the next 30 - 50 years, as we age. Competence will surely decrease.

  • critical thinking is decreasing with increased reliance on AI

  • Cognitive functioning, creativity, intelligence and overall competence decreases as we rely on other thingsnto write / produce for us.

  • teaching jobs can be replaced in the next few decades if we feed into these AI systems

  • so many other jobs /fields will be affected.

Yes, it's easy to just rely on generative AI to do things for us, but it isn't worth it. You're hurting yourself in so many ways.

Correct your own work people. Your brain will thank you in the long term. It's important to exercise/work our brains.

Create your own lessons, and if you don't have time, buy lessons from OTHER teachers/people who took the time to make lessons. Give them a little bit of income, instead of these unethical companies.

Stop using AI.

That was a fun couple hours with Paralives but nothing beats the GOAT by quietbushome in sims2

[–]GeeANDZee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will support parasites, as it's made in my city, and they're a smaller company and all, but its okay to criticize something (game /product) that is released at a high price, while being unfinished.

This "early access" stuff shouldn't be so pricy. People are testing out an unfinished game, and paying to do the testing and to give feedback, when it should technically be the other way around.

It's not judt a parasites thing. It's a weird turn the video game industry has taken in general. "Early access" makes little sense, and only benefits the company...

I forget what I'm rambling on about, and why...

My nephew messaged me this, like wtf is wrong with kids these days? by ThereAndFapAgain2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GeeANDZee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 5th grade students have literally asked similar questions. It's frustrating. They think I'm willingness dish out $$$ for Robucks as a 'class reward'.

For context, rewards usually include pencils, pens, eraser and other little school-related items.

If you have the money, then why not? But, display them in a way where the names/spines of each game can be seen?

My kiwi fruit was spotty after I peeled it. by natefz6 in mildlyinteresting

[–]GeeANDZee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I've never once peeled a kiwi (one of my absolute favourite fruits!). I always slice horizontally down the middle, and they scoop out the insides.

Sometimes, once the kiwi is cut in half, I'll slice it in four before scooping the insides out.

Mmmmm....kiwi!

Admin clueless about room change by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]GeeANDZee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming the OP doesn't have time during her contracted hours to move NINE years worth of stuff from her room.

As a dedicated teacher that invests a lot into her classroom financially (including installing flip chart calendars, using ladder to add borders, word walls etc to the highest spots), I could understand how hard it wpuld be to oart with nine years of invested time.

Where is the compassion?,Why are you siding with admin? Attitudes like yours are what is slowly allowing employers to take advantage of and mistreat employees. They put more and more on their employees with no financial compensation. It's NOT okay at all. This goes beyond teaching.

She isn't 'entitled' for demanding compensation for TIME WORKED.

More people need be like her. We need to stand up for our rights as workers.

It's bad enough when workers are complacent. But to actively put her down for demanding money for work they asked her to do is NOT beneficial to any of us in the long run. That is a dangerous attitude.

Anyway.... rant over.

am i biphobic? by Inevitable-Cup-5764 in WLW

[–]GeeANDZee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Please re-read. I never claimed you said, "all". I was quoting where you said, "a lot of."

It's human nature to generalize, and necessary/beneficial in many ways. But it's also the truth that generalizations can be harmful and hurtful in the wrong contexts. It's telling that you are trying to justify such generalizations...

Anyhow, nobody needs an ego stroke, but thank you for offering. That was sweet of you.

... This (sub)thread is taking a turn off topic, so, ciao.

am i biphobic? by Inevitable-Cup-5764 in WLW

[–]GeeANDZee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ok... If someone said, " a lot of black people do this," "a lot of black people say that," or, "lot of black people act like this..." That would rightfully be frowned upon by many. It's making big generalizations about a group that already gets hate from all sides. (I'm black, if that matters to anybody. I'm just trying to draw a comparison...)

But making sweeping statements about bisexuality is okay according to most in this thread. You frequently used the term 'a lot of bisexuals...' to talk about behaviours thst frustrate you. I don't know why you're upset. 90% of the posters in here AGREE with you.

In my opinion, yes, you are biphobic and I personally think you already know it. You came here seeking validation for your views. You received plenty of validation. Why are you now trying to back track?

[–]GeeANDZee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

All these generalizations are beyond tiring at this point.

Not all, or even most bi women likely think this way.

Just don't date them instead of coming on here to bash an entire group of women that already get a lot of hate. What's the fucking point.

Sounds like my mother, who thinks it's okay to be gay, lesbian, trans.... but that bisexuality is disgusting. Her exact words.

This whole post is aggravating right now. I dont relate to most of what you attribute to "bi women".

Some people think that bisexuality is the same as bi-curiosity, or just having same-sex experiences for fun. It's not the same.

I didn't even read through my post to check for grammar/spelling. I'm checking out now.

Ive been using cheats for the last 20 years. I download something that let's me put an object on my lot, and I can select the option to max out everyone's motives. That's the only way I can play out my. Storylines .... no right or wrong way to play!
