"Maybe he got that pepper spray can for Christmas and was dying to use it."

WTF?! Please tell me this is satire.

Exactly. I've been using AI (mainly ChatGPT and Midjourney) for my current campaign and it's great. While I make up most of the campaign myself, ChatGPT is like a supercharged contextually aware DM app. "Come up with a monster that would fit x situation", "make up a riddle for the players", "what do the rules say about x?" and so on. It's like having another person to discuss the creative choices with, but that person is an expert that knows every rule, monster, place and so on.

Wait, they banned r/savethirdpartyapps? I guess they really don't give a shit about anything other than making money.

No tech background. I work as a teaching assistant and after-school teacher with grades 1-4 (not exactly, but those are the closest US equivalents). Always loved technology though so I spend as much time as I can teaching my kiddos programming and other nerdy things.

Third baker in this thread. Is this a conspiracy from Big Cake to take over the fediverse?!

Authority is useless. It's all about building relationships, especially with the difficult kids. The rest will usually listen to you anyway just because you're an adult.

I agree with many of the comments about just choosing a direction and trying out a lot of things - that is absolutely what you should do at first.

However, I disagree with many on the part about just finding something that pays the bills and finances your hobbies. You're going to do your job for 40 hours a week for almost your whole life. There is nothing you'll spend more time doing than your job.

I've found a job that I love and it makes life much more enjoyable. While my job doesn't have an exact US equivalent, the best way to describe it is that I work as a teaching assistant during the school day and as a teacher at after-school. Sure, I still hate getting up on Mondays (and the rest of the days too, honestly), dealing with difficult parents and idiot bosses and all the other annoying shit that comes with any job, but all in all I love it and I'd gladly keep working 20-30 hours a week there for free if I won the lottery tomorrow. I could make hundreds or even a thousand dollars more every month if I took say a factory job, but it's still worth it because I genuinely have fun doing my job.

Try to find something that you really like and still pays the bills. It's worth it.

Is there any way to invalidate their trademark if there's proof that the term was used on AOL? Would be a fun way to fuck with them.

That's my favorite Wikipedia page now. Love that Wikipedia takes itself so seriously that they actually list the uses of toilet paper.

Completely agree! Dark mode feels depressing. I actively avoid apps that don't have a light theme.
