  • they came up with the abbreviation "IANAL" back in the 80s or 90s, back when the World Wide Web was either not even a thing yet or brand-spanking-new and Usenet was king.

    Child of the 80s here and grew up with connecting through a university and 28k modems. I never encountered the term IANAL until the last ten years or so. I was mostly on gamer forums though so maybe that’s why? I never saw it on older websites or chat rooms either.

  • Way the create criminals that didn't exist. ICE Nazi.

    Precisely the point. Now they can up the numbers that they claim there were but couldn’t find. Now it’s, “found ‘em!” Fucking awful. I am so angry with our country.

  • As someone who has actually been in a classroom and dealt with 20 kids—fuck off CEO with no real experience dealing with people.

    Personalities, learning types, inequity, and so much more contribute to how people learn. A computer program cannot account for this. Also, what are you going to do when a kid doesn’t want to learn from a computer? Strap them down, force their hands on a keyboard, and shock them if they move or visit a program/site that isn’t what you want in that moment of teaching?

    Good. Fucking. Luck.

    P.S., Duolingo doesn’t do a good job of making you fluent in a language. It might give you basics of understanding, but you aren’t going to be chatting like any sort of native unless things have changed in the last 4 years or so since I tried it. Your platform is piss poor, and the juice leaking from skunk’s rotten anus has more relevance than you.

  • Basically, it just comes down to I’m angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here,” he said in the recording.

    So end your existence, not everyone else’s. You didn’t consent if they wanted to exist or not, you fucking disturbed asshole.

  • I live in America, so there’s that. I’m over 40 and now health is definitely a priority.

    However, I passed my CompTIA A+ certification and had a few interviews but decided the tech industry is a volatile shit hole even if the pay can eventually be great. I was substitute teaching in the in between and have LOVED it, so I decided to go back to school and I’m starting graduate classes in a week for my Master’s in (elementary) Education!

  • Thank you! I’m very excited about it. I know it’s going to be tough because behavior management is a booger and parents can be…interesting, but if I can connect and make sure a kid is set up to succeed then I am very happy.

  • Voluntarily left my cushy job in marketing (SEO manager) after ten years and was substitute teaching in the meantime. Discovered I loved it (always kicked around being a teacher) and love the positive connections made with the kids.

    I’m starting my MEd (Masters of Education program) May 19 to be an elementary school teacher. Not that it matters, but I’m a 40+ father of an elementary school kid myself.

  • Think of it as you’re holding a bag of groceries. You are going to put things away from the bag, but maybe some things need to go somewhere else so you pull it out of the bag and put it on the table to put it away later.

    You’ve tabled it.
