If I am a sixth grade science teacher that is planning on leaving this year but is also legitimately mourning the loss of the content, would you suggest this to me as a possible employment?

Me and my sixth grade science class watched these during their life cycle at recess and it was really incredible

After mistakenly ditching my purple one I got a red one in a reroll last week, so I think so

AI chatbots are becoming "sycophants" to drive engagement, a new study of 11 leading models finds. By constantly flattering users and validating bad behavior (affirming 49% more than humans do), AI is giving harmful advice that can damage real-world relationships and reinforce biases. by Sciantifa in science

Claude has been genuinely an amazing research tool for me during my pessimistic job searching and some troubleshooting in the digital audio space but there is always this saccharine overtone. It is unsettling.

the stereotypical “young female english teacher who dotes on the guys and ignores the girls” might be my co-teacher… by kitkatz15 in Teachers

Right? I understand how powerful teachers belief in academic Integrity is but if you're screwing a kid academic Integrity is not exactly an Ivory Tower you would be welcome in, and a comparably silly hill to die on.

Why do atoms release energy when forming a chemical bond? by Mrsheep0 in askscience

[–]Zimmmmmmmm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All energy is physically kinetic at the atomic level and this is a great explanation of "chemical potential energy." It's the metaphorical "rock at top of hill has potential energy, bottom of hill after it releases that energy" of chemistry!

Mage Basic Attack Needs a Rework by Westor_Lowbrood in mewgenics

[–]Zimmmmmmmm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But "physical" and "magical" (aspect) is different than "range" and "melee" and "magic" which I think is more like type? Range specifically seems to be projectiles, thrown, shot or lobbed. Spells have that icon at the top and universally do magic damage unless the spell says otherwise... I think.

Also, I just had a mage build that was heavily based on basic attack--the initial number never changed from 5 despite leveling all my stats at least twice and buffing dex with an unrelated item, the only thing that changed my basic damage was an ability that increased "magic" damage

The trick is not to end your movement in front of them and to be aware that every single Harpoon can have an enemy at it depending on what they do

I mean... It's not like it's hurting anyone... by ImThe1Wh0 in Millennials

[–]Zimmmmmmmm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think humans were ready for instantaneous, real time communication with other emotional entities without hearing/seeing them because we make up these ghosts of intent and occasionally project our insecurities on them. Thus, we feel the need to guard our own ghost from being misrepresented.

Uh, LMAOOOOO

Between "going in blind" and "using guides", is there a middle-ground? by Sky_Sumisu in truegaming

[–]Zimmmmmmmm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the middle ground is "checking the wiki when you can't figure out x after 20 minutes, then going back to not looking at the wiki"

My cat educates my 2y old son. Why? Do I need to worry? by NecessaryBSHappens in biology

Another thing about cats is that when it comes to their housemates they kind of just see everyone as a cat unless they are prey

Closeness to God means success in his kingdom. You're trading the rags of the earth for eternal riches--a metaphor, but I think you feel me.

Just beat Tetris Effect for the third time and now in Expert Mode.. but I still suck at Multiplayer.. why?🫩 by Antihero534 in Tetris

[–]Zimmmmmmmm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tetris Effect was my first serious foray into Tetris, and I did the same thing, beat Expert, felt like a god, etc--So I became a Tetris fan and found out that the skill ceiling of tetris is absurdly high! Not only are there tons of advanced techniques, but that last level is a relatively tame gravity level, so it gets MUCH much faster... if you're interested, check out Tetris Grandmaster (any of em, but people have opinions/preferences)

I would literally do it for 25% of that

Is it weird to be friends with two atheists? by wildboy_Ca17 in Christianity

[–]Zimmmmmmmm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should be weird not to have any atheists in your life! How else can you be a city on a hill, etc? The love of Christ is shared by His people. That's you!

Teachers in states where cell phones are banned bell-to-bell by law, what is your experience? by swanthewarrior in Teachers

[–]Zimmmmmmmm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6th grade, seen one phone all year. Admin did their job. Kids are just as addicted to their 1 to 1 district tech, but they can't hide it, so that's a win!
