Professor=overworked and pushed to do the coursework more quickly so they can get everything; research, classwork, grant writing; done in the limited time they have. Not bringing in enough grant money or publishing enough well liked research often gets you fired, you know.
Parent=overworked and pushed to get to work faster so they’re not late. Being late often get you fired, you know.
Both are being pushed into actions that are detrimental to society. Speeding creates a slew of cascading issues, starting with small things like increased frustrations in all drivers and building to large things like much more serious wrecks. It’s a terrible thing. Giving up control of the curriculum and passing the buck to pearson (in the original OP’s case) to teach students, make tests, grade coursework (that can no longer be anywhere near as inventive or applicable because it has to be in some format that a computer can grade), etc. is a terrible thing.

Where can I find these submissive puppy boys? It doesn’t seem like it should be hard to convince one of them to wear one of those rape prevention reverse condoms, just in case…

I don’t know if you’d consider visual novels a game, but even if the ‘character’ you’re playing is a male, the feminine aspects come out really well in Doki Doki Literature Club.
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 1 day ago:
No disagreement on the overworked and underpaid bits, but I look at it like this: a parent with a full time job is extremely overburdened. Get the kid up in the morning, get the kid dressed, get the kid fed, deal with the inevitable breakdown from not getting the right cereal or the other kid taking the favorite seat, getting the kid’s backpack and homework sorted, and finally get the kid to the bus stop or take said kid directly to school because there was a fight and now the kid isn’t allowed on the bus… and they still have to drive to work by 0800 hours. Just because they’re late to work and in a rush doesn’t excuse the speeding. Teaching is a shitty, hard profession. You don’t get appreciated despite almost literally doing nothing but try to improve the next generation. I still think that turning over the task of teaching (which the courses I had to take did; it was entirely book+online portal driven, very little teacher) to the textbook company is a bad track to take.

It’s also about making it the equivalent of pushing a button for the professor. Want a test that covers chapters X-y? Push three buttons and the students have a test over those chapters. No effort means they can jerk off in the direction of the grant that was just rejected because they used a bad word according to the government.

- Comment on *No.* 1 week ago:
Because one (obviously not all) of the problems that HOAs were created to solve is still around: terrible neighbors. It’s not always an option to pick the best neighbors when you’re looking at a home, and HOAs at least let you quickly see that your neighbor isn’t going to be dumping sewage or old rusted machines in your yard. They also can be a quicker, more accessible route than going through with an individual lawsuit if your neighbor does begin acting like an ass. I’ve had to deal with bad neighbors in rural and suburban settings, and I would honestly pick HOA over that.
I wouldn’t live in an HOA neighborhood if I could avoid it, but I also wouldn’t want to live in a neighborhood if I could avoid it. Give me a large, spacious, well-insulated apartment in an urban area and I’d be happy.

- Comment on What purpose do carbohydrates OTHER than sugars serve in the body? 1 week ago:
For the info on why there are different descriptions of carbs: fda.gov/…/how-understand-and-use-nutrition-facts-…
What are Added Sugars and How are they Different from Total Sugars?
Total Sugars on the Nutrition Facts label includes sugars naturally present in many nutritious foods and beverages, such as sugar in milk and fruit as well as any added sugars that may be present in the product. No Daily Reference Value has been established for total sugars because no recommendation has been made for the total amount to eat in a day.
Added Sugars on the Nutrition Facts label include sugars that are added during the processing of foods (such as sucrose or dextrose), foods packaged as sweeteners (such as table sugar), sugars from syrups and honey, and sugars from concentrated fruit or vegetable juices. Diets high in calories from added sugars can make it difficult to meet daily recommended levels of important nutrients while staying within calorie limits.
Note: Having the word “includes” before Added Sugars on the label indicates that Added Sugars are included in the number of grams of Total Sugars in the product.
For example, a container of yogurt with added sweeteners, might list: Total Sugars on Sample Label
This means that the product has 7 grams of Added Sugars and 8 grams of naturally occurring sugars – for a total of 15 grams of sugar.

Yeah, children play with their genitals far more than I ever wanted to believe. I don’t really remember doing it as a kid, but it wouldn’t surprise me if most parents have stories about the odd things that happen.

That’s honestly nothing. I had a coworker who had been recently married and invited us to dinner. I go to his house, and there’s a gun in the shower, a gun in the kitchen, a gun in the living room… Like, at that point just wear the gun on the belt, my man.
