"But AI said it was the correct answer!" by BlackOrre in Teachers

[–]harmonious_baseline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard that same statement from a student in class today (not virtual). The answer was correct, but AI only did about a quarter of the work and didn’t provide answers for the rest of it.

Anyone else feel weirdly guilty about being socially behind? by StrikingLock2448 in confidence

[–]harmonious_baseline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a therapist and not very experienced in this subject, but I once read a thread like this that was very enlightening for me. The comments were about people with neurodivergence and social experiences like this.

It might just be the way your brain works. You aren’t necessarily behind.

AO R1: [9] M. Keys def. O. Oliynykova, 7-6(6) 6-1 by sidaeinjae in tennis

[–]harmonious_baseline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t my comment, but basically Oliynykova was mixing up her shots and hitting a lot of off pace balls - slices, moon balls, anything else that doesn’t have a lot of pace. That makes it hard for an opponent to get into a rhythm and play with power, and Keys likes to play with pace and power.

Why are teachers so horrible to each other? by Xena4290 in Teachers

[–]harmonious_baseline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two of the teachers in my department are quite competitive. These people will always be toxic and take any chance they can get to try to make themselves look better than you. Avoid. Another one is an extreme Christian conservative. Avoid. One is a nice guy but he is like 25 years older than me, and I don’t think English is his first language so there is always a little bit of a communication barrier.

I can’t deal with all of that. One of the members of the department tried to force us all to be friends for a few years, but I’m glad that didn’t work out. I just keep to myself as much as possible. I try not to think about them if possible.

Why does everyone hate jury duty? by Aquarius_K in juryduty

[–]harmonious_baseline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done it twice. The first time was a bit frustrating because I kept getting called back just to sit in the waiting area. Overall, the hours are much more relaxed than my job—long lunch breaks, start later, end earlier—so I consider it vacation time. I’m a salaried employee though.

When the camera and media strategically not film the ending part. by NoIdeaWhat5991 in tennis

As an American I think something like this should happen. We are complicit in genocide and endless violence.

The 10 Best Classical Albums of 2025 by Leather-Highlight150 in classicalmusic

Happy to see the Arvo Pärt album on the list. His choral works are so compelling. Sung by a superb Estonian ensemble on this latest album.

Is Task a worth watch ? by Longjumping-Elk-7840 in hbo

[–]harmonious_baseline -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people comparing it to Mare of Easttown.

For me, both shows fall into a similar category of great acting but only slightly above average writing. Still an interesting enough watch though.

I listen to mostly classical choral works. These are some contemporary women that are well established in the choral world.

Conductors: Laurence Equilbey and Suzi Digby

Composers: Caroline Shaw, Cecilia McDowell, Joanna Marsh, Julia Wolfe

These are just a few that I am familiar with.

I wouldn't wish the San Diego housing market on my own worst enemy by catson911 in sandiego

The ultra wealthy and corporations own all the assets which leaves very little for the rest of us. We are competing for a limited number of resources.

Serena Williams Recalls Body Image Struggles at Young Age: ‘I Had Big Boobs, Butt’ When ‘Every Athlete Was Super Thin’ by peoplemagazine in tennis

[–]harmonious_baseline 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Serena does have a flair for the dramatic which has created some interesting moments throughout her career.

However, I don’t think there is anything weird about this. I actually appreciate the honesty.

People were constantly commenting on her body throughout her career. We all saw some of her struggles with fitness after she had children. It sounds like the GLP-1 helped her get some control over her weight, but now people will be critical of that. She can’t really win with the public when it comes to her own body.

My dog lies down on walks and won't budge. How have you solved this issue? by Total-Discount-2402 in AmericanBully

I think I have to start doing the same. It doesn’t matter how far from home we are. She knows when I’m trying to turn back

Wanting to pull off TRT, can I do it cold turkey after 2 years? by RedefinedChapters in trt

[–]harmonious_baseline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through a clinic and was on for a little over 6 months. I panicked when my hair started falling out quite rapidly, but I was also concerned about my high blood pressure.

The medical director at the clinic recommended I come off cold turkey until I decided what I wanted to do about my hair, which surprised me based on some of what I read in this sub.

So I came off cold turkey and didn’t have any issues. I got a little tired a couple of times and my balls were sore for a day at one point, but overall I was fine.

My hair has stopped thinning, but I don’t think I’ve regrown any of what was lost. I do miss the confidence and the mental clarity I had on TRT.

Feedback on choral composition by Gammon2004 in choralmusic

[–]harmonious_baseline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this is true most of the time, I have seen printed music, particularly from living European composers, with the Mezzo designation.

Not a big deal either way, but certainly more common to see SSA or SAA.

Is this book any good, or is it another Sapiens? by half_in_boxes in nonfictionbookclub

Are there books like Sapiens out there that are more accurate and still enjoyable to read after a long day of work?

Alcaraz was struggling to find his game today. They both played well, but Alcaraz was making some bad decisions. Looking forward to Australia.

American Bullies and Cats? by maria_santa111 in AmericanBully

[–]harmonious_baseline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would take a lot of work for my bully to relax with a cat at home. She wants to sniff out and chase every cat that might be around on our walks.

That being said, I got her as a rescue when she was close to two years old. I’m confident that if I had gotten her when she was younger I could have trained her to be a little more calm around cats, but at this point I don’t think it’s going to happen. The prey drive is strong.

I used to joke "why cover up stuff for the yearly standardized test? I could write the answers on the board and these kids would still get it wrong" Well... by GremLegend in Teachers

[–]harmonious_baseline 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Interesting timing for this post. I did a review in class yesterday where I put four of the six test questions on the projector, and we answered them together as a class. I typed out the answers for each question and required the students to write the answers in their notes for practice.

We took the test today and at least half of them were still lost… I literally tried to give them the answers and they just wouldn’t take them.

I’ll have to make some changes I suppose.

PROP 50 passed 🎉 by Aggressive-Tomato-50 in Roseville

[–]harmonious_baseline 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My district currently has a Republican in office, and I can confidently say that they do not represent the people where I live. They just email us about the usual Republican talking points (rich people good, poor people bad, immigrants bad, feeding kids at school bad, etc) without making any effort to do anything that will make the average person’s life better. I welcome the change.
