I'm apparently a bit mean in my sleep. I've gotten very protective over my sleep in the last few years as consistent sleep has always been something I've struggled with, and so when my partner accidentally wakes me up I apparently grumble and act very dramatic about it.

I'll often ask in the morning, "Was I mean at all last night?" I feel bad about it but I have no idea that it's happening.

Unpopular opinion:

I am a public school teacher and I support public schools, but there have been a lot of issues with our education system for a long time. Talk to any kid with ADHD who had to sit through 12 years, and they are indicative of a larger problem. Our idea of school now is as a place that teaches kids to behave and mostly follow rote instruction. Wouldn't it be so much better if we were teaching kids to be creative thinkers, work well in groups, problem solve, and think critically about the information they're getting? We know that's what school should be, but maybe now we will be forced to go there. Yes, there will be issues like learned helplessness and certain skills being difficult to teach, but it's kind of exciting too.

Though it's also possible that public schools will close and only the wealthy kids will be well-educated... can we not, please?

Happiest looking, at least. I don't think they're actually delighted all the time?

How does this legally fly given the previous stay?

Every day I'm an aunt is a good day. Keep making a difference, pal. The little guys need extended family.

My personal favorite is when Pieter cuts off a little girl's hand:

The words are less impressively compound, but the images speak for themselves. This one is good too:

Great children's literature!

Find what you want on Amazon, look at reviews, and then go to the actual website of the producer and buy it directly from them. It's not hard, it just takes an extra step.

You'll probably buy less junk, too.

Lemmy, a few minutes ago I tried to change my notification settings for a website, but it was not possible using Gmail:

From my phone email inbox I clicked the link to unsubscribe. This opens the website, but via the gmail app. To sign into the website, they sent a single-use sign in code to my email... which I can't access because I'm using the email app to view the website. If I exit the website to view the new email containing the code, then I will lose my place on the site and need a new code sent to sign in. Thus an unresolvable loop.

Is this an asinine gmail issue, or am I an idiot? Please advise. I have ended up staying subscribed to several extremely annoying websites because of this bug/tactic.

I hear you, but it's also fun to see how excited Democrats are right now. It's partly shock and relief at Biden dropping out, but I think there's also real excitement in the mix!

Hi all,

I'm attempting to change careers into landscape design/architecture, but I'm struggling to gain professional experience.

I've applied to 4 different job in the field, interviewed at one, but haven't had enough "professional experience" to land any of the jobs. Any tips on how to proceed? I was thinking about keeping my current job while also trying freelance for very nominal pay, but I'm not really sure how to go about that either.

For background, I've been at my current (unrelated) job for 6 years, took a community college class on AutoCAD, did a planting plan for a friend, and put together a portfolio (work in CAD, Photoshop, SketchUp, and physical media). I have some experience with plant nurseries, and a degree in biology. An in-person college architecture program is not option due to distance and expense, and I can't find any online programs. My portfolio gets compliments, but I seem to need more drafting experience.

Thank goodness. I loved "Your Name" and hope for more films.
