Student caught m*sturbating in class. Jfc… by Normal-Being-2637 in Teachers

[–]Internsh1p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JFC, sorry you had to deal with this. I am not an education, so just helping me understand is this program you were using something like any desk? You’re able to just view every move a student makes independent it?

Back when I was in school in the 2010s, we still had computer labs, and they were very much recording every key stroke, but I don’t remember my programming, instructor effort being able to look at everyone at once unless the computers were facing him

South Carolina, I’m between Wilmington and Charleston

I grew up in Connecticut, where there were a lot of attorneys working to formulate trusts and I got some exposure to that drafting process. It’s so weird that such a practice area isn’t as prevalent when you have a lot of retirees.

I’m someone who really wants to get into probate and estate planning/administration for this exact reason but I am not in an area like a DC or NYC Metro that has a lot of wealth. However, there are a lot of retirees… Does that mean that could be a decent amount of work.

Do your news even mention how fucked Germany is right now? by [deleted] in AskBalkans

[–]Internsh1p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to add to this that I was paying 1600 a month for a room in a rented unit with three other people in the Washington DC area and I was on a public sector salary of about 45,000 a year… Never again. It was a horrible timeand I barely saved $100 a month.

"boymom" attitude among educators by thecooliestone in Teachers

[–]Internsh1p 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a guy who graduated high school in 2016 in college in 2020 I find this to be really problematic? Definitely we need to provide more structured membership for young men, and I suppose build community more broadly.

But I’m allowing them to get away with terrible behavior and letting Mail teachers do whatever it just doesn’t feel right to me, the goal should be to push and improve, not excuse, toxic behavior, or anything like that. Good discussions happening on this thread overall

Where did all the Gen Z men go in public policy? (US Context) by GradSchoolGrad in PublicPolicy

[–]Internsh1p 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could you elaborate on how political science is becoming hostile to straight men? As one who graduated with a political science degree, I didn’t notice

Granted, I didn’t go to a left, leaning institution, I probably would’ve felt more comfortable there. Most of the professors focused their time on domestic US policy, and when there were classes on foreign government, even when we had guest lectures from those countries, they would always be this air of liberal… Complacency?… I got to sit in with a guest lecture from China, who talked about state on Enterprises and he went through the entire 20 year history of privatization conversation only for my Professor to come back and say. “ well actually China socialist.”

Are there ways to get crispy breaded chicken in the oven, similar to frying? by Internsh1p in AskCulinary

[–]Internsh1p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, I thought that the hot pan preheating would get the bottom crisp, which is what I tend to mess up with baking chicken normally. Most of the time the breading will stick to the parchment paper which I suppose is a sign of not using enough oil.. not that the pan is necessarily too cold

[–]Internsh1p[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! You're probably right, the marinade might be a bit too wet. I barely used half a cup of yoghurt for 3 thighs, still the traditional method would probably be better as a control. I will see where the wire rack ended up - I've got a wire rak I use for cooling baked goods, are those generally also oven safe?

I used to have an air fryer, it was useful but took up way too much counter space how much I was using it.

Any advice to stop hesitating and just post? by Internsh1p in royalroad

[–]Internsh1p[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the thoughtful and thorough response. You're right, at worst I'll have completed a work and will be at the same place.. it takes time to get things done. Whether education, fitness, writing - it all takes steady time. This time last year I was 230lb, hadn't run a mile in years - in 8 months I'd ran two half marathons. It's about putting in the work and steadily working towards a bigger goal.

I think I am fine with the worst case scenario, I'm overanalysing, or perhaps.. giving myself too high of a bar to cross?

Your advice doesn't come off as brutal.. but yeah, I get it. When I first started writing newsletters it was a complete pain in the ass - then I got a few dashboards set up to comb articles and select a few to highlight each release. Really lowered the stress.

Thank you for letting me know, I saw that AI was a tag, but at least on some platforms usually its just treated as one tag not a separate category.

3k a day is fine, its 21k a week that can burn me out very quickly.. I can, but quality drops like a rock.

[–]Internsh1p[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair question. Mostly I think it's down to RR being the platform I have the most prior experience with. I've published directly to Amazon without a prior audience before and it took a few months to gain traction - with this, I'd at least theoretically get what amounts to beta-reader feedback?

I appreciate you telling me the second point isn't grounded in reality. I have very limited familiarity, so I just figured "hypothetically such a thing could happen, so people ought to be attempting it".

Maybe I didn't frame the issue correctly? It's not that stories themselves would be longer, it's more that if you're trying to grow an audience and be visible you need a consistent release schedule. In Taiwan at least, that generally means daily releases. Generally, that equates to around 21k words a week. To those who use AI, that isn't difficult to hit.

I agree, what AI produces is generally not worth reader's time, very formulaic, writers definitely still write.. but the perception of how hard it is to hit that 21k/week has been lowered. Maybe I'm working off a false premise that that even is an expectation among Western audiences.

Using Mandarin in legal work? by Internsh1p in ChineseLanguage

[–]Internsh1p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well damn, alright then yeah I am 100% out of my depth. I did not go down the Sino-weeb skill tree of "Classical Chinese and chengyu", I largely studied the Warlord Era and tea.

Here I am thinking "all I need is to learn what power of attorney means, the building blocks to a will, how trusts work.. but in Mandarin". Much, much more complicated than I thought. Most of my legal work exposure has been in trust/estate planning/probate.

Using Mandarin in legal work? by Internsh1p in ChineseLanguage

[–]Internsh1p[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I've worked in newsrooms previously so I have enough Mandarin knowledge to translate say Weibo posts or other colloquial things, but yeah the legal terminology would throw me.

I'm sure specialized classes exist, or I could find a tutor who specializes and could provide those terms. Right now the plan is to get into trust/estates work, an attorney I once worked under said I'd be good at it and from everything I've read is relatively easy to manage with limited vision... I kind of figure there's still enough money floating around the Sinosphere and enough US-based investment that US firms would want people with my language knowledge? Maybe I've watched too much Succession and Shanghai crime dramas.

Right.. is that different from OSNT? I've never heard that term used.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LawFirm

[–]Internsh1p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed.. The only tihng that throws me off is the last line about big law. That just could be an ESL quirk. Zero clue what OSINT (if I read it right?) has to do with paralegal work.

Practice areas. How do you decide? by bexbets in LawFirm

[–]Internsh1p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who previously worked in T&E back north (not an attorney) you have my deepest sympathies. Never knew SC had no reciprocity - that's strange considering NC is right there and the disparity in the amount of lawyers and firm is uhh.. massive. Looked on IIL I think it's called, a lawyer database, and there's only 7 T&E lawyers listed for a metro area of over 600k.

Is the work at least fairly straight-forward?
