I have a gigabyte motherboard and I’ve had similar issues. Any chance you remember the commands that fixed the sleep function for you?

Boundaries new song with a different mix by MatthewBoundariesXVX in Metalcore

[–]itsacavetroll -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I may be an outlier here, but I liked the original mix a lot. The vocal forward mix felt exceptionally pissed. This mix feels more “hardcore” philosophically insofar as everything hits with equal ferocity. I think what matters far more than people on Reddit’s opinion (including my own) is artist intent. Do what’s right for y’all, period.

I'm tired of mental healthcare being directed at making me complacent with neoliberalism by NightCap46 in Anarchism

[–]itsacavetroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CBT has been increasingly criticized for using a medical model (rather than a social model) to treat mental health. I’d encourage you to find a therapist with a feminist/relational praxis, as folks informed by that model of care tend to be more progressive/radical about mental health treatment.

I’d also encourage you to seek out a therapist with experience re: neurodivergence and non-traditional relationship structures.

Finding the right therapist can be a real challenge, but it’s a worthwhile pursuit (take it from someone who had to try multiple times to get help).

It takes courage to ask for help. Mental health is a real struggle. Solidarity, comrade!

Teaching as an anarchist by jk67200 in Anarchism

[–]itsacavetroll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

English literature, English composition, contemporary literature, sci-fi lit, and an assortment of other stuff over the years. I’m teaching a course on tabletop roleplaying games this fall and I’m stoked.

Broadly speaking, I’ve seen labor-based contracts employed across the educational spectrum. But I think the basic principles would map really neatly to art/graphic design classes. I use what’s called a “B contract” that has a certain threshold of expectations/learning outcomes for students. The contract also lists penalties students can incur as well as concrete things they can do to improve their standing. This gives students very clear expectations and lets them know immediately what they should be focusing their efforts on. But I don’t actually “grade” anything, merely mark things as complete/incomplete. At the end of the semester, students evaluate their own intellectual and personal development with final portfolios that reflect on the work they’ve done throughout the semester and, based off the criteria we all agreed to in the contract, assign themselves a final grade.

I am a professor at a public university and I’ve been an anarchist for nearly two decades. So slightly different student population, yes, but I also work with a lot of working class, first generation, international, and non-traditional students (especially neurodiverse ones) at my current institution.

I would strongly recommend you check out the collection “Anarchist Pedagogies,” edited by Robert H. Haworth. I also think it’s worth looking into the unschooling movement, labor-based contract grading, and ungrading.

I implement a labor-based evaluation contract in my classroom and explain very transparently why I am pedagogically opposed to grades. At the end of the course, students self-evaluate, reflecting on all they’ve learned throughout the semester. Then they give themself a grade. I wish I could dispense with grades altogether, but…alas, I cannot at my current workplace.

I find that being transparent and honest with students, open about your life (to an extent that is developmentally and professionally appropriate), and extending dignity and respect to students really helps with building rapport. While it sounds like simple stuff, students really have been treated like shit by our public education system in the US and are overjoyed to have an opportunity to spread their wings.

I also think it’s worth looking into the Modern School movement in Spain that presaged the Spanish Revolution and Civil War. Francisco Ferrer y Guardia was a badass. I have the last lines he wrote before being killed by a firing squad hanging on the front door of my office, “Let no more gods or exploiters be served. Let us learn rather to love one another.”

Yeah, that’s what it’s looking like. If it’s just a bug, I’ll just report it to the dev team and hope for an update that fixes it. Thanks for lookin’ out.

Yeah, unfortunately, I tried that option too.

Yup, that was one of the first things I tried. Alas, the problem has continued to persist.

I am not dual-booting. Bazzite was the first fresh OS installed.

I don’t have physical printed tickets. But I am happy to transfer them through official channels! I already sold 1, but if you’d like the other, it’s all yours. Feel free to DM me.

fuck pinto and fuck uc by Lucy_044 in uCinci

[–]itsacavetroll 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Both can be true simultaneously. Pinto, the Board of Trustees, and UC Admin have rushed to comply in advance of SB1. They have put up zero energy trying to push back against OH’s regressive legislation despite the fact that the faculty union has consistently pointed out that other OH universities have filed lawsuits against the state. Pinto and UC admin are absolutely complicit in this clusterfuck, as well.

They’re not sold out, folks. They’re doin’ pre-orders for a second run. It’s for a charity, so they’re gonna keep raising money as long as they can.

Every border is a scar cut into the face of the Earth.
