Idk about other people, but the recent op/ed on women ruining the workplace (they had to change the title 3 times) just being allowed in print by them certainly lessens my opinion of their institution.

Liminal space vibes honestly.

Am I? Oh no. Or the delve content? Cause it felt like it.
- Comment on I swear half the posts on here are just slop now 2 days ago:
Sometimes I say delve. Like “I hate delves” when I played world of Warcraft. Which I don’t anymore.
- Comment on Why not just move to a gated community 3 days ago:
It’s called response effort. The idea is that an action in particular is less likely to occur because it’s more effort than you’re motivated to spend in that moment.
Ever have a few things you could easily do, you’ve done them before, you’ll do them again another time, but that one time the extra steps make it not worth the effort?
It works a surprisingly large amount of the time especially where impulsive behavior is concerned.
Similar thing with locking our doors etc however there are additional motivational forces at play. Yeah they aren’t vaults, but if this one is locked and barricaded and it’ll take 10 minutes to negotiate vs the next one down being open…it’s an easy choice.

“Are you okay?” “Yeah I only got hit with a chair.” An actual conversation from last week.
- Comment on Always question those who are the "teachers" 1 week ago:
Deleted my original response to this…post because it was somewhat emotional. Anyway, here goes.
It is fine and good to ask questions. Any decent teacher wants you to ask clarifying questions. Pretending otherwise is really dishonest.
Yea, you will find good and bad teachers. I suspect it’s much harder to find good teachers in areas where the profession has been vilified by people/posts like these, where books and ideas are being banned, incomes are hilariously low, and thoughts are being outright policed. In those places you’ve almost certainly seen a brain drain.
Ultimately a lot of us could be making money elsewhere, but we like what we do.
I would be more wary of someone vilifying the accumulation of knowledge and those who want to share it.
Boomer meme.

I work in education. I could be off in private equity with my skills significantly making more. Too busy over here scamming I suppose.
- Comment on Shower. I hate the wet place 1 week ago:
Before sleeping. Except this can occur for hours.
Lately also while playing katamari.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 3 weeks ago:
Replies have certainly taken on a more Reddit-like quality to some things. Like rude for the sake of being rude.
- Comment on Nobody ever remembers Gen X 3 weeks ago:
“Probably better to die than pretend like I can afford a house before I’m 90” or something. Not those exact words.
- Comment on Nobody ever remembers Gen X 3 weeks ago:
I have a reason I have to get up. I joked about being able to buy a house before I died. Not that I want to get up. But I’m obligated.
- Comment on Nobody ever remembers Gen X 4 weeks ago:
I made a millennial joke in front of my coworkers after a two month break. (They have said waaaay worse). Anyway they HR’d me and I almost got a free vacation to the grippy sock hotel. Now I keep my mouth shut. They’ll never see it coming! Assholes.
- Comment on I will burn this fucker to the ground... internally 4 weeks ago:
Happened to me the other day. Computer (work laptop) got stuck in a loop in one of our closed systems, and I didn’t have access to the thing that unlocks it and yes…I had to submit a ticket. Just put me in the ground now.
- Comment on It's about time we showed concern for the men 5 weeks ago:
Reminds me of that article about fellas suffering from endometriosis.
- Comment on Covers the bases 1 month ago:
Never been into muscles. I wanted a bear I could sleep on like a snorlax beanbag bed.
- Comment on Ibuprofen 1 month ago:
Well it’s Tylenol in the work bag because I can’t have too much of either in a single day. Also because I don’t need to have that one and a lunch (which I never get).
- Comment on what can I do at my workplace during downtime? 1 month ago:
Sometimes I play sudoku rather than doomscrolling.
- Comment on what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you? 2 months ago:
Socializing is a part of being at work in person. Try engaging in reciprocal conversations. Ask about them instead. At least if you’re stuck, you aren’t talking about yourself.

If you leave that much space in Connecticut, two cars will fill the gap. I try though. I’ve been run off the highway by street racers also. My only comfort is dash cams so maybe it’ll be on video.
- Comment on What if a billionaire wants to help you? 2 months ago:
Just do an airdrop. Bag of cash on my porch is fine.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
It’s not absurd to say 20 year olds and 30 year olds are different in that way. From life experience to brain development, it’s a documented fact that older people predate these inexperienced individuals for a variety of reasons. Hence, if you look 20 and a 35 year old is interested in you, I advise you to be cautious. Now, some people will argue that once someone is legally an adult none of that matters. Sure, under the eyes of the law. But you’ve more than admitted here you’re looking for someone immature, that you are also immature. Be careful, older people giving you advice don’t do so to harm you or because they are ashamed they’ve aged. They have often been taken advantage of by older individuals.

It has nothing to do with being secure oand insecure. Predators target young, naive individuals. It’s a known fact. Silence enables predation. Your defensiveness is weird.

Gross. Accurate. Took me way too long to understand why my friend’s dad was acting the way he was around 13-17. Decades later and it still sickens me.

A soft place to land for my kids. I’m tired.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
The difference between 20 and 30 mentally is huge. They are babies. That said, if you look super young you will naturally attract some of the worst types of people…be wary.

The tapioca…I weirdly like it. Except I choke on it. I love the tea itself. I don’t love choking on it, but I forget the boba is in there half the time.
