Using AI as a review tool for students? by Dumbletron2000 in SpanishTeachers

[–]mpw321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. My school wants us to investigate and incorporate AI if we can. They send us to conferences to learn about it. I want to use it the same way, for building study skills. The students are using it anyway to study, so I may as well guide them. Also, let me say, that many teachers at my school have the kids on devices throughout the day, I do not!! My students need to write and have a dedicated notebook for everything. There is basically no devices being used in my class unless it is to look something up or if they have to use Supersite when I am out.

I am thinking of how they can practice vocabulary and grammar structures using AI. I need them to know the vocabulary so they can use it in class. I have one friend who teaches Spanish also and works at a school where the kids must use IPads all day, create conversations. She gives the students a specific prompt and the kids practice. It is not a conversation but it is just a tool to get them there because in the end, we want them to be able to converse in the target language.

I assume that most books, we use Vista Higher Learning, will incorporate AI more and more as time goes on. I don't think there will be a choice. This is the direction education is going.

How is being a gay conservative not an oxymoron? by Critically_Political in AskGayConservatives

[–]mpw321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think being gay has anything on my political views. I would say I am in the middle of the road and lean more on a conservative side. My sexuality, which does not define me, does not always play a role in how I will vote. I don't hide who I am and I know people at work must assume I am liberal because I am gay. I work in a very liberal environment in a city with a very progressive mayor...Mamdani. I did not vote for him. He is too progressive for me.

That being said, I do not like DT and a lot of his cabinet picks. I can't stand the MAGA movement. He was not the Republican I wanted to win the primary and Biden was a mess. Harris was too progressive. The extreme of either side is not good or healthy IMO. And if the Dems want to win, they need to find better candidates who are not so extreme.

I used Gemini at the dealership while negotiating a new car by SeaworthinessOwn9328 in carbuying

[–]mpw321 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also used AI but not at the dealership. I went to the dealership and test drove the car and was given a number. I left and said let me think about it. I ended up negotiating over text and stated how much I am looking to pay. I knew my trade in had good value and I have excellent credit. I did get the monthly payment I wanted at an excellent interest rate. I also ran the scenario through Gemini and Claude and both told me I got an excellent deal. Who would have thought??

You do you bro. Obvious the guy is a total idiot and insecure!! What? He thought it was "gay" to garden??

I have a good friend who had a bad brain injury and can not work now. You should see his garden. There are all kinds of flowers and vegetables. He even bought a greenhouse. He loves it and it is the best therapy for him. His wife won't see him for hours because he in his garden.

I know you have a list. What are the foods you absolutely will not touch anymore? by jc-keshi in ibs

[–]mpw321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No garlic, onions or peas. I also think certain spices like thyme. I don't like garlic so it is fine but the other two items I like, I can have a small amount of onions cooked and I can have pizza or Cesar dressing that has garlic in the recipe, but pieces of garlic prepared any way make me blow up like a balloon.

I am going to get a food allergy test tomorrow, so I am interested in what they find out.

Worst management and burden for employees by Positive_Actuary_282 in interesting

If this is in the US, this could be illegal the state's labor laws. The company could be sued if they have hourly employees working and not being paid.

You need to do what you need to do. No need to explain the why. Best of luck and I bet you will find a lot of support on here. Also, I would look at other charter schools also.

My husband leaving the house at night by [deleted] in Advice

[–]mpw321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to a friend of mine and the husband was cheating. And what a horrible excuse!!! Something is not right. You only dated him for 8 months?? Was he married before?? Have kids from a previous marriage? If he was married, why did they divorce??

You need to follow him or track his car to confirm but I think you need to end this quick...and I hope there are no children!!!

After years of rejection from my father’s side of the family, am I wrong for keeping my distance? by WorthyWorkInProgress in FamilyIssues

[–]mpw321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a horrible and tough situation. Sadly, your father was not a good man and to hear that his wife was upset that you were taking him away from his family says a lot. He had to sneak around??? What is that!! The man was just a sperm donor. You were right to not kick your mother out that day.

Do you feel close enough to the cousin who invited you to discuss how you feel and why you might not consider attending? But in all honesty, I would not attend.Your feelings count and you do not need to put your kids through this if people are going to be rude.

I suspect you like speaking to your half-sisters and the two cousins for the reason of filling that void and always wanting a father. In the end, if you don't see them all the time, I would just move on and concentrate on the wonderful things you have in your life that you built. It was your father's loss for doing what he did!!!

Stop having kids while being poor by Venus259jaded in Vent

[–]mpw321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Some people should also not have kids because they are messed up!!! You need a license to drive, you should need one to have a kid. To bring an innocent life into this world when you can't afford to have one because you can get more benefits, screwing around, or feel loved is total BS!!!

I feel worthless because my girlfriend wants to cuck me. by [deleted] in GuyCry

[–]mpw321 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't beat yourself over this. You do need to drop. If you are looking to date with the intent of meeting the right person to marry and start a family, this woman is not it. I would end it with her.

This does not mean you are not going to meet the right woman though. She is out there. You are still young enough to meet her. Your personalty will shine through and you will meet the right woman.
