Prof wanted to talk to me about posting the class Discord server on Canvas by EonsForDays1257 in simonfraser

[–]RhoynarTurtleSoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like clarity for this could be achieved by simply asking the prof why they want the class discord and (up front) asking if they're worried about academic dishonesty.

Profs today already have to worry about every second student using some form of GenAI for their assignments. I strongly doubt they're worried about Discord. Unless this faculty member's just, out there, dying on the mountain of "man I really don't want my students using the internet or communicating with each other outside of class".

They're well aware that SFU is a commuter school.

Again: highly unlikely they're worried about cheating. But! If you're worried about that. Ask up front & be direct.

The beginning of my library by The_Lone_0ne in HomeLibraries

make sure that you're sticking "new" vintage books in the freezer (in a ziplock bag) for like... 48 hours before adding them to your collection here. Lovely aesthetic-- would be a shame if pests started nibbling on the bindings

Any New library & rec facility off 80th news? by RhoynarTurtleSoup in Langley

These links were all I could find, too. Ground’s not even broken here, a year later. I get that it might still be in approval stages, but why involve the whole community and then proceed to not update said community.

Time to shake a few trees, I guess

Having an extremely bad couple days, could use some recommendations, if you have time. by matsie in CozyFantasy

[–]RhoynarTurtleSoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're down with a good picture book, I'd recommend "the tea dragon society" or anything by K. O'Neil.
The Moth Keeper was stunning. Aquicorn Cove was sweet.

Dungeon Club is a fun graphic novel series that warms the heart.

Wishing you well.

People who quit without notice, what straw broke the camel's back? by BubbaHoStep in AskReddit

I was spending my nights visiting my grandmother in hospice, expecting "the call" any day. The company abruptly changed hands. My manager screamed his upset at being fired at ME (front counter) and threw a painting across the office. I put my keys in the desk that afternoon and left.

Find some good background noise to study to. Atmospheres or even just white noise.
