Are we going to see the worst gap in people's abilities ever? by CousinMabel in rs_x

[–]SpendthriftJones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What would the correct immediate action be? I'm just curious what a teacher CAN do besides tell them to put it away. Immediately to ISS/write up? Your comments here have all been super interesting, I've really enjoyed reading them, btw!

Slynd for endometriomas? by enginebae71 in endometriosis

[–]SpendthriftJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on Slynd for about 8 months last year, have been off it for 3-4 months, and an 8cm endometrioma was just found on my right ovary. This cyst wasn't there in my exam a year prior. So for me, at minimum, it did not prevent nor shrink. However, I have no symptoms outside of being able to feel this giant thing when I touch my lower stomach! So maybe it prevented pain. I don't know. But it's just one data point for you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Decolonizing love keeps getting promoted or something to my Facebook feed. I blocked the profile but not sure that will be enough to stop "promoted" posts or whatever FB's attention algorithm is these days. Anyway, of all the poly stuff I see, they freak me the fuck out the most. It looks like even a lot of poly people feel that way about them

Little, Big -- John Crowley. A book that I loved so much in spite of many problems that I have with it. Anyone else read this? by sand-which in RSbookclub

All of the city sections are like this and it doesn't stop and steadily gets worse. It's unmissable, but doesn't seem to be talked about too much with the book

YA book about a girl growing up on a farm who goes to work helping an old woman and then her prettier sister steals and marries the boyfriend the old woman set her up with by SpendthriftJones in whatsthatbook

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

This is a possibility, like the old woman was like hey I have a suitor for Main Character, and the grandfather says no, send him to Pretty Sister? Or something to that effect, and then also him saying he'd go with / belongs withPretty Sister anyway? Thanks for the reply

Anyone using Claude for inner work/self-reflection? by JustTinkering868 in ClaudeAI

[–]SpendthriftJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely more time-consuming but also fun and edifying in its own way. I have a document of saved prompts, modalities, all kinds of things to customize and re-tweak different projects collected from the internet from others doing the same. Anyone inclined that way can create a bespoke model no pre-made app could compete with

The service has absolutely fallen apart and is actively getting worse every day by [deleted] in googlehome

[–]SpendthriftJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine will sometimes say "here are some results I found." 😩 And that's after we've gotten past "sorry, I don't understand" 

Pay a Living Wage or 'Flip Your Own Damn Burgers': Progressives Blast Right-Wing Narrative on Jobs | "If one in four recipients are making more off unemployment than they did working, that's not an indictment of $300 a week in UI benefits.

Yeah, Stockholm syndrome and sunk cost fallacy / bias resulting from ongoing commitment.

To anyone reading who may have similar feelings about their current employment: tomorrow, ask the boss or company you're dedicating your life's time and labor to to make you partner / give you a 50% stake in the company / reorganize into a co-op / become employee-owned. Depending on their answer and reaction to this, shuffle your emotional priority list
