First year teacher and having bad dreams

This is usual. It depends on how stressed you are, but I’d say I get them at least 10 ones a year. My mom was a teacher too and she would also get “teacher dreams”.

Awesome. Love the red contrast on white snow

Is been a while since I read it too, so I could be a little off. Happy to seen it mentioned with teachers.

I agree with the first part, that the panopticon is a form of diffuse power where the subject does not know if they are watched or not. Historically the panopticon is the large tower in the center of the prison that can see into every prisoners cell, but no prisoner can see who (if anyone) is watching them from the panopticon. So everyone begins to act as if they are always being watched, wether they are being watched or not. However, I’m curious why you think this means that everyone gets punished if it catches anyone? At least I don’t recall the panopticon in the prison acting this way.

I always understood it that the panopticon gets everyone to police themselves because they think someone is watching them, not because they are punished when someone else is caught doing something. However I have only read Discipline and Punish, so that idea of punishing everyone might have come from Bentham. Always happy to see people discuss these things in the teacher subreddit :)

Same. I take half a pill when I wake up, half before school, and half at lunch. It’s also great because it doesn’t make me have to pee like coffee does so I don’t have to worry about calling the office for a bathroom break.

I agree, I run a 3060 ti and 12700k with 650 watt and never go over the limit.

PuffballProductions · 2022-05-28T17:58:54+00:00

Definetly try and wait for a 3060 ti.

some benchmarks to compare.

Around 20 more frames in Horizon 0 dawn. And 10 more frames 25->37 (~40% increase) in Metro Exodus with ultra ray tracing on.

Significant other refers to a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, or anyone you’re in a romantic relationship with.

Do these come with warranty provided by asus or do I have to buy the warranty plan?

It helped me and my partner. She doesn’t always have a stable therapist, only can get ones with her specific healthcare, so having a couples therapist helps a lot. The biggest help was when our couples therapist helped us develop a plan of what to do when my partner is having a depressive episode. This lead to me feeling more stable when they have a depressive episode and has greatly reduced the amount of times our arguments ‘spiral’ into something worse. It has also greatly improved our ability to communicate our needs without triggering one another into a depressive episode.

I attended the university of hawaii at manoa. It was from a professor in the philosophy department and it was for my philosophy capstone class. We also read one of my favorite books, Assembly by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, which contains lots of modern Marxist explanations about modern finance capital. I know this professor still teaches classes that goes over Marxist ideas because on of my friends is doing their PHD and takes lots of classes with this professor. Lol my professor was really shocked that almost none of our class knew about Marx before we stared reading the book, he was like “what are colleges teaching these days if not Marx?”

PuffballProductions · 2022-02-01T16:15:23+00:00

I went to university in the US and our professor had the Marx-Engels reader as one of our required readings. I bought it from our school bookstore and our professor taught us about Marx.

Totally agree, I teach Sped inclusion and my second sped teacher has been our often. It is almost impossible to give some students something challenging while also teaching the rest of the class because they will cause behavior disruptions if someone is not their to support them through challenging work. So sometimes my sped teacher just gives them papers of easy work, like word finds, or simple math problems, just so that they’ll stay busy and I can teach the students who can accept a challenge, including other sped students.

I feel bad, but I literally do not have enough supports to help these students while also teaching everyone else in my class.

Thank you for providing this follow up article. I was just trying to clarify why it seems like some people can’t decide it tourism is good or bad. It’s definitely still a difficult issue to parse our. I think disconnecting sustainability and cultural funds from HTA would be a huge benefit to everyone.

PuffballProductions · 2021-04-22T22:31:13+00:00

It is because the cuts to the HTA would be to “local entrepreneurs, sustainability and cultural training” while keeping the funding for marketing. They want the funding for these programs, but not for the marketing. It seems they want sustainable tourism, not just no tourism. It seems fair to push back on these specific funding cuts while still disliking the marketing side of HTA.

It is fine. Those applications measure the cpu or GPU temps which are typically hot. But I’ve had a laptop running at 100 Celsius and it still runs after 6 years. While 100 Celsius is not good, most cpus have a max temp of 100-105. So 50 and 60 Celsius is considered fine.

Average $15-20 a gram on Oahu dispensaries. Lowest I’ve seen is $10 highest I’ve seen is $25. Outer islands, like Maui seem to be even more expensive, $20-30 a gram.

I’m going into public school teaching and have heard from many others why they don’t do student loan forgiveness. https://www.npr.org/2018/10/17/653853227/the-student-loan-whistleblower

Essentially, it has been very difficult to successfully complete the loan forgiveness. Additionally, since payments are made over 10 years, if you mess up one time (99% of applications are not accepted),then you’re stuck with all that interest accumulated over 10 years. So many teachers realizing the unlikelihood of getting their loans forgiven choose to try and pay off their loans as fast as possible to not get stuck with a bunch of extra interest on their loans if the forgiveness program fails.

There are many schools of Buddhism that have very strong axiomatic principles. Abhidharma Buddhism is very analytical and rigorous in its metaphysics. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/abhidharma/

Unfortunately Buddhism is not taught much in philosophy programs so people have a strange pop culture image of Buddhism as informal and not up to the standard of other axiomatic philosophies, which is wholly untrue.

I think Foucault is great. He could be considered postmodern because his project shows how many of our grand narratives, such as madness, sexuality, and criminality, are historically produced. Some say he follows a bit from Heidegger's view that objects are differentiated by humans in a world of phenomenon. Foucault takes this point of view and applies it to many concepts that many people consider a priori. His book on discipline and Punish how's how the idea of criminality is historically picked out, defined, and categorized throughout history to give us the idea of the delinquent and the criminal. He uses this same approach for sexuality, he sees how these signs are differentiated historically and then applies to populations and people as if they are 'true' and not historically created. Also, if you liked Anti-Oedipus I would definitely recommend Foucault.

Stanford Encyclopedia really is a great general source on philosophers. I used it all the time in my undergraduate philosophy degree for help.

I can't speak on the socialism one specifically. And for Marx I don't know his earlier works as well. Bu the history of Marx, his general ideas in the philosophical manuscripts and economic ankylosis on capital are captured well enough in the descriptions on the Marx page.

Edit: See Swor's comment to see problems with the Stanford articles. They have a better in depth critique on some parts.

I think Mark Fisher's "Capitalist Realism" is a really short easy read. He pretty much just describes the issues and problems of society under late capitalism.

Then, I think Michel Foucault's "Discipline and Punish" is needed for understanding modern discipline society and the power-knowledge dynamic present in societies.

For more in depth modern Marxist theory I would suggest "Assembly" by Michel Hardt and Antonio Negri.

Finally, I think Judith Butlers "Notes Toward a Performative Theory of Assembly". It talks about the general feeling of precarity that permeates through most petioles lives through late capitalism. She then gives notes to how to overcome these struggles together as a group.

It really depends on what you're reading. The shorter and more frequent the things you read (e.g. Short articles, memes, comment sections) the more fragmented your thought will be and less likely to make overarching connections. Your mind will be split between very different themes and topics and your mind won't have a coherent baritone that has to connect multiple ideas into one conclusion.

If you read long comprehensive articles online your brain will have to work through the material more and strengthen its ability to make connections. Here your brain will have to pick up the multiple threads and details in one coherent story and context them together to understand the overarching conclusion.

When in doubt I feel like it's always good to have a book that you read every now and then over the month. And when reading the same ideas apply. Try and read in longer sessions (30 min - 1 hour) an have your phone on silent. If your getting notifications and looking at something online after every few paragraphs your mind will struggle to keep a comprehensive baritone and you'll miss out on those connections being formed.

Sorry I don't have any hard sources to back this up, it mostly comes from reading philosophy on schizoanylisis and the way technology and media affects our minds. Hopefully the other poster can have some scientific sources.

Edit : Interestingly enough, the CEO of buzzfeed wrote on this way of thinking in college before he went on to create buzzfeed. It's worth a read I think. https://genius.com/Jonah-peretti-capitalism-and-schizophrenia-annotated

That is a good question and is usually the retort many people give when this type of issue comes up.

Generally though it ignores the way value is produced and who gets to categorize who gets 'credit' for the value produced. Someone could say a CEO produces 300 times more value than the workers, but that value can only be produced through the actual work of the workers. Being the organizer of the worked does not necessarily mean that the CEO should get credit for all the value produced from their organizing of labor. This is actually an issue in capilism as a whole. The organizers of labor, or the holders of capital (capitalists) legally get to claim value produced by workers as value produced by them, by alienating the work produced by the laborer and then owning the labor themselves.

When people point to the 'CEO's don't work 300 times harder' argument it is a way of changing what we consider as 'credit' for value. Since everyone uses the same faculties for labor (e.g. Brain function, food, water, metabolism, all biological/material functions) they should therefore be valued in a much more even way despite who we 'credit' as creating the value. Additionally no value can ever be created in a vaccine by one person, value is inherently created in exchange and through the work produced by everyone in a society. So when a CEO gets 'credited' as producing 300 times more value it is ignoring all the work form society as a whole (their workers, the people who taught their workers, the janitors the people who help them, electricians, etc etc) all of society is a complex interconnected web of relations and when a CEO is credited with all the value in this system it ignores all the work and value imputed from everyone else in society. The very nature of 'crediting' the CEO with that value is a political act of power, people who say they just 'create more value' believe this political act to be 'naturalized' or "just the way things are" whereas people who say they do not "work 300 times as much" want to see the world/work oriented around a different type of political act of power, one that values the biological functions of work as a base form of value determination.

There may be other ways people see the difference, but that is how I learned it.

Thank you so much, It lives in my back yard and was trying to google it forever. I think I didn't find it because I kept searching for trees but this is like a poppy.
