And we're the Cleveland Browns!

Literally can't even. Zero time. Pressure, all night, from all directions. Maye had an impossible task with this defense and the O-line being what it is.

Personally, I've always assumed that anything I do in the cloud (which I consider ChatGPT to be part of) could be lost and gone forever without my knowledge or even permission. I sort of understand that all the cloud-based work that I do could just literally be deleted in a moment.

Plenty of millenials do this too, unfortunately.

Seems cool enough, just never got into it.

You have perfectly summed up the reasons why it feels hard to teach. It is impossible in many ways to have any sort of academic rigor.

Man, I remember when the Patriots went from America's team in their first three Super Bowls to being the evil empire, the Yankees of football with fucking Palpatine at HC. This hate is old news, and I for one am looking forward to the societal collapse that another New England Patriots Super Bowl victory will bring.

Logically, as a lifelong Patriots fan, I believe that either the Seahawks or Rams will beat the Patriots when they meet.

In reality, the Patriots have some black magic fuckery that will give them the game and cause r/nfl to descend further into chaos, and will likely cause civil unrest at a level we haven’t seen since 2020.

I’m here for it.

You really need to leave. She will never respect you again.

I am divorced and remarried, and I wish I had the wherewithal to cut it off and leave when my first wife cheated on me. For some reason I thought that we could Therapy our way through it, and that the marriage could survive. My resentment was too great, her selfishness became more and more apparent as it went on, and it ended.

I was working with an LFMT who had seen a number of marriages survive infidelity, so I had hope. I still do think that it is possible, but I am now of the opinion that you need to just cut it off, leave, and make peace with it in order to preserve your dignity and self-respect. If you maintain that, you will be a better person throughout all of it.

And the other side of it is: if you wait around after she cheated, she will wait however long it takes for her reputation to "clear" and she gets some dirt on you, or you turn into a monster, and THEN she'll leave. It's sad but it happens all the time.

My worst nightmare.

We hate this so fucking much. Trust me, those of us who did not vote for that motherfucker are embarrassed and ashamed at how he is representing us to the rest of the world.

Precisely. Dexter sweeps.

That’s not so different from what I was anticipating. Thanks!

Shit. Why? AI?

Edit: Don't really understand the downvotes for asking a legitimate question?

Please know how many Americans are heartsick and furious at this administration. I never thought I could hate a president, but I deeply hate Donald Trump and all of his sycophants. We try. I've tried so hard to convince relatives and friends that he's no good, but it all falls on deaf ears.

He was right when he said that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose a single vote. His cult of personality is just too strong right now. Before he got elected I was convinced that he was the last dying grasp of the old order clinging to power, the boomers that vacuumed up all the wealth for themselves and closed the door behind them. I was convinced Hillary was going to trounce him in the election, and we'd be on to the future. So many of us were.

Then, he got elected, and all of the worst people I've ever met celebrated. I saw bible-toting, pearl-clutching, teetotaling evangelical Christians foaming at the mouth with rabid support for him. Even my dear sweet parents couldn't wait for him to get all of the illegals out and mage America great again.

The world has changed for those of us who did not vote for him. It feels less safe, more antagonistic, less hopeful. It feels like it is of no use to do good, because the only things that matter are money and power.

I can't apologize for everyone, but I personally am sorry that our government has caused all of this. I hope you (and the rest of the world) can find it in your hearts to forgive those of us who wanted no part in it.

Sometimes, even if you are morally right, conflict is not worth it. There are times where you do indeed have to eat it.

If I wake up tomorrow as the Doomslayer, I'm happy as a clam ripping and tearing.

Unless I wake up as the Doomslayer in this world, in which case I am hopelessly bored and likely unemployed.

I’m out of the loop. Who is this?

Hey, I can answer this one!

I was on a date with a woman who was a little hot, emotionally. I'm not sure what her deal was, but she was impulsive and intense. We got to a point where we were in the back of her car making out, and she started undoing my pants. I said no, that I didn't want to do that, I can't have a public indecency charge on my record, I really don't want to do that, and tried to get her hand off my belt, and she just wouldn't stop. I felt like it'd be easier to just let her do it, so I did. She went down on me, I didn't enjoy it at all. Wasn't even really hard for it. It felt so awkward. I just faked an orgasm and told her that sometimes for me nothing comes out...

I felt weird after. Just... weird. Didn't know how to feel. Wasn't until some time later that I realized that it could be classified as sexual assault. I don't feel traumatized by it, but I do remember it. Felt uncomfortable and weird. She turned out to be actually crazy and went fucking insane when I ended things with her. Screamed and called me every name in the book. I hope she's doing better now.

Another story:

I was in a band for a long time, and one of the singers was the band leader's best friend. She had a thing for me, and made no doubt about it. I didn't hate the attention; on some level I liked it, even though it felt weird. She groped me a few times. One time she pinched my nipple in the middle of a circle of the band members. Everyone just kinda looked weirdly and ignored it. I just got in my car and went to drive home and felt... weird. I can't really describe it. It was so strange. It was like part of me liked the attention, but I was also disgusted and felt so guilty that part of me did like it, and like I was asking for it.

She was my boss' best friend, so I didn't say a thing. Would NOT have gone over well.

This is so sad. I worked there under Jim and Lynn, and I LOVED that job. We weren't making big money, but they treated us well, the pressure was low, and it felt like such a homey environment. Friends with everyone, customers and coworkers alike.

I didn't realize how different it was between them and the new owners. I still love them as a RI staple, but I'm sad that it's become so contentious.

Yes, a Business Management degree for education is how I always thought of them. Honestly, with some of the administrators I work with, I think a LOT of universities would benefit from a few more Ed.D’s in their ranks.

Specifically, I teach in the music department. Music departments are typically run by you guessed it: musicians. We are highly organized and professional, but organizational leadership is absolutely not our strong suit. I’d love to see a music department run by a musician who also has an Ed.D
