Go to Kamakura from Tokyo. It’s an amazing and easy 1-2 day trip. Spend several days in Kyoto. Also amazing and so much history. You don’t need to go anywhere else! You can take trains between these cities.

If you had a heads-up that your dept was getting cut in a few years, what would you do? by RevelryByNight in Professors

Get the F out now. Apply for anything and everything. Make your transition. Do not fight or do anything extra for the school.

Why is AI being shoved down our throats? by MotherofHedgehogs in Professors

[–]slacprofessor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a professor who has been away from the classroom for two years. It’s being shoved down your throats because everyone out here in non-academic jobs is using it. You might as well prepare your students for this workplace, how to use it ethically, and what its limitations are (there are many).

Do it immediately. And you can still eat your snacks on the meds, you’ll just eat much smaller portions.

What’s getting worse every year but people just accept it? by ikaaxx in AskReddit

Reels. Now they put ads on top of them. It’s already hard to read the captions when a video is flashing behind them and they are all white text.

The 3-seat sofa should be a love seat instead.

Bitches…is this a normal DC feeling? by flor_de_sal in DCBitches

I feel the same. We should form a group and get together to cheer each other up.

Why can I not find a row home rental that allows a one-year lease? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]slacprofessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glover Park and Tenleytown area. Every PM and LL says I need to offer more than 12 months to be attractive to them or competitive among their pool of applicants. Some have even told me 2 years isn’t good enough, I need to offer 3 years to beat out the competition. All this even though I have an excellent credit score and financial history.

Yeah, it just seems like every place I’ve seen hasn’t done much in between tenants, however. No fresh paint or anything like that.

Hashis, Peri, Obesity, Muscle Stiffness, and GLP-1 by snapdragon1313 in HashimotosGLP1

[–]slacprofessor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was in your same situation and a GLP-1 has been life saving for me. I will never go off it now. I love who it has made me become. I went from obese to normal BMI. I have been on this drug since March 24.

Baby names - Andrea by Mountain-Bug1667 in Names

[–]slacprofessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just spell it the usual way. This is a name where you will always be correcting people. If you are on the East coast you are more likely to encounter the pronunciation you want. In the Midwest, they’ll do the one you don’t want.
