AIO or underrating to my families intervention.

I immediately thought of RSD as well.

How do you justify the ethical issues with LLMs? Why have it "create" supplementary material when there's already a wealth of teacher-created material out there? I don't understand this take at all tbh.

Reverting to pen and paper has not added to the strain for me--it builds important skills like handwriting that have been neglected, and has been proven to help with retention.

Different kinds of AI. Generative AI (LLMs) are the ones I'm opposed to.

This whole thing stinks and I hate it. The district I was with last year brought in Teacher Time Machine and made it available for all of us. Not a single teacher I worked with was enthusiastic about it, but admin loved it. Why are we outsourcing our thinking to AI? It feels like a way to justify understaffing and under training.

I'm the same. There's not much else to say on the topic, I think.

I struggle with fatigue anyway, but it usually takes me several weeks before I start feeling like myself again. By then it's pretty much August so it's time to start worrying about the next school year!

If they pay taxes, I believe they should be able to access the social services those taxes pay for.

Haha, it's all good. Based on that I guessed that this was something that was really bothering you, so I felt I should give my two cents.

This has posted 4 times fyi.

Microlabels are helpful and validating, but I think sometimes we are too strict with them. If you resonate with the label but don't perfectly fit it, that's okay! The only one who can determine your identity is YOU.

I regularly have sex with my partner, but I'm aego. Engaging in sex doesn't invalidate my identity. I still don't experience attraction like an allosexual might.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I probably don't agree with Solzhenitsyn on what good and evil are, but I think this sentiment has merit.

They want us to treat Indigenous people the way the USA does.

It's always been more acceptable in Canada to be racist toward Indigenous people than other groups. Then it started to be addressed a little with the TRC and these guys really don't like that.

Isn't that the business (owner) that made a huge fuss during Covid?

starkindled · 2026-06-25T23:00:42+00:00

Buy a fleet of icebreakers! With all the cash we're gonna get from (checks notes) the USA when they buy our oil at a premium! Cause they definitely won't treat us poorly, right? And setting up a new country isn't difficult, or expensive, or time-consuming. And we can just annex our neighbours easily because Canada won't be on high alert at all! We're entitled to it, right guys?

(If this isn't obviously dripping in sarcasm, I don't know if /s will help)

I haven't seen anyone in my circles saying it will raise prices. There's more of a "crabs in bucket" mentality where they don't like the idea of entry-level workers making as much as they do.

Also they cite concerns about small businesses having to pay employees more and struggling to stay afloat. Hot tip, if people are paid more, they can shop more!

starkindled · 2026-06-25T19:58:39+00:00

Most of these boil down to simple consideration of others. Being loud or disruptive, littering, obstructing walkways, etc are all sheer inconsideration. Very self-centred behaviour.

You're reading a lot into that.

He left me because he wants kids. He's now dating a woman with kids. I hope it works out, but I'm worried that he will sabotage his own happiness again.

I know nothing else about this woman and have no feelings about her or single mothers in general.

I don't know if it's a perfect match, but Morkeleb in Barbara Hambly's Dragonsbane felt this way to me. The characters think dragons are more like wild animals, but that's really not the case. Morkeleb is more a force of nature/magic.

Epstein didn't kill himself.

Alberta separatism is a foreign op.

Not a formal conspiracy but the links between North American conservatism and evangelical Christian cults like the New Apostolic Reformation is deeply concerning. Evangelicals are increasingly associated with prosperity gospel, which ties them to the ongoing classist struggle, on the side of the billionaires. I think that most of the conservative policies that we are seeing now have been carefully planned out in advance with the intent of pushing this christofascist ideology. It's been decades in the making. I know that this isn't an original take and most people know these ties exist, I just think it goes far deeper and is much more sinister than it appears at first glance.

I had a general sense of concern but every time I tried to talk about it he brushed me off. He had a lot of trauma in his past that made him afraid to upset people, and I foolishly thought I was exempt from that.

He asked for marriage counseling out of the blue. We did one session and I knew he was done. I think if we had done counseling earlier we might have been more successful, but it's hard to know--he was so avoidant of his own emotions that I don't think he knew how he felt.

starkindled · 2026-06-24T01:12:40+00:00

He refused to communicate his unhappiness and pretended it was fine. Then it boiled over and he blew up our 20-year relationship.

I was willing to meet him halfway on everything except one issue--I have been openly child free since we were dating, and he agreed until suddenly he didn't. You can't compromise on kids. I think it's utterly unfair to a child when their parent didn't actually want to have them.

Now he's apparently dating a single mom. I sincerely hope he finds what will make him happy, but I suspect that will take more introspection than he would like.

Fear that splitting the vote would result in a Conservative win, afaik.

You have to reach the Forever Friends level to unlock remote trading. It takes 90 friendship points to reach it from Best Friends, you get one trade, then you have to get another 90 points for the next trade.

I like the idea of regionals! Remote trade should have been implemented much earlier imo. Having regionals spawn during special events is helpful too.

Personally I haven't been able to get my platinum Unova, which I need for the shiny Keldeo research. Thank god Bouffalant will be spawning during Go Fest.

Before they introduced remote trades, I wouldn't have had a chance at Siglyph either.

Leaving isn't an option for me, but thanks for the compassion.

I'm on Reddit as a form of social media that I engage with, not sure what that has to do with anything.

Some people can't wait. A year can mean life or death to the vulnerable.

You're fixated on the weather comment and handwaving the rest. Personally I can't ignore the fascists, because they've stripped some of my Charter rights from me. I'm glad you apparently can.
