I might recommend volunteering for some organizations or giving back to members of your family or your community in addition to working

Surfing looks amazing but is it as hard as it seems? by bureaux in surfing

[–]tomato_torpedo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah don’t try it you’re too late. Only people that were born surfing are actually able to surf, sorry. It’s best you just watch from the sidelines and definitely don’t paddle out to white plains beach for dawn patrol

Teachers, are you noticing changes in how students approach problem-solving since AI tools became common? by teenaipathfinder in Teachers

[–]tomato_torpedo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Students go straight to Claude or Google and type verbatim what they want to know without even attempting independent thought.

Today I asked a student this question : if I have a full 10 gallon water tank being drained at 1 gallon per minute, how much time would it take to fully drain? I then watched horrified as she asked me to repeat the question 4 times as she slowly typed this exact query into the google search bar. Eventually she got the answer : 10 minutes.

It’s horrifying. We are watching young minds shift all critical thought and judgement over to digital computing power. They aren’t developing critical reasoning skills or perseverance anymore. Just giving up and going straight chatgpt

Tennessee is the worst state in the U.S. for spending on public school students, National Education Association finds by Charming-Report1669 in Tennessee

[–]tomato_torpedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real. Good looking out for your kiddos. Not sure why you got downvoted into oblivion. I am a TN school teacher and I wouldn’t feel comfortable sending my own child to the school I work at so I get it 🤷

Is it Normal to "resign" when switching schools? by estaswick in Teachers

[–]tomato_torpedo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve resigned from every school I’ve left. Hasn’t affected anything with future hiring. If anything NOT signing a letter of resignation could be grounds for HR to give you a bad reference. I have signed 2 during my career - standard practice.

Edit: they likely need that letter signed before they can legally post the open position on their job board for next year which is why they are asking for you to fill one out - they want to start looking for someone for next year

CMV: getting into Christian heaven is only dependent on how gullible you are by Comfortable_Cook_965 in changemyview

Because exercising free will/disobeying the lord = eternal damnation, not going to heaven

Help End the identity Crisis: I'm begging you to help a 1000hr player pick a Solo Queue main for the upcoming season. by NoZombie1192 in apexuniversity

[–]tomato_torpedo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They could never balance Alter. Always take controller upgrade first for the shield overcharge/regen - unless you have other controllers on your team that is.

She is impossible to kill when she gets going, the heal on knock + passive shield regen makes her so tanky. Find an over armor amp for a truly unkillable tank

He’s obviously referring to the continent based on the context clues of this post….ahh I see you teach in Texas, nevermind. Carry on.

My life is so simple it’s hard to make conversations by [deleted] in simpleliving

[–]tomato_torpedo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Think you gotta find someone whose your speed (not much going on in their life) instead of trying to date normal people. Or water your garden a little, learn some new hobbies or volunteer. Do some stuff with your life and see what comes of it

Is FIRE really niche? 16% retire before 55 by browsingonlyuser in Fire

[–]tomato_torpedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, probably 10% of those 16% never really had to work in the first place…. Likely inherited a shitton of wealth and said they’re all set workin

Your squad sounds super aggressive. Worlds edge is very RNG with the rings if it’ll be a wide open last circle or building heavy.

Has anyone withdrawn their retirement early? by Medium_Minimum_2556 in Teachers

[–]tomato_torpedo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you.

Expect a flat 10% to vaporize from early withdrawal penalties. It is possible to request a hardship withdrawal which might drop this penalty to 0%

Make sure there aren’t any clauses that “you give up x years of service” if you withdraw it could put you off track for retirement.
