You can tell that this wasn't written by a parent. Parents know that the small child is already covered in jam, despite there being no jam at the BBQ

Remember when Republicans were whinging about “unelected bureaucrats” and the “shadow government”?

Community college professor here. I'm lucky enough to be tenured at this point, but when I started teaching, I was making just enough money such that if I had been paying the going rate for rent edit: and health insurance, I would have been losing about $100/month, before taking into account other expenses like food (~~or health insurance~~ or gas or utilities...) (edit: I went back and checked numbers, my memory was a little off). And that was with me teaching 75% at two different schools (so, a total of about 24 units per term when full-time is usually 16 units per term)

I was privileged enough to be able to live with family while I pursued a full-time position and extra work, but many are not so lucky.

So, yeah, college professors are drastically underpaid, on par with K-12 teachers

especially when they turn on in the middle of the night.

That's a rookie move. Leave the fan on at full blast all night, and then you won't hear the difference when the AC kicks in, plus it's a free white-noise machine

This isn't exactly the same because the Arlington incident actually happened and has some bearing on an ongoing political campaign as opposed to being pure speculation and misinformation.

I read somewhere that for some reason grip strength is one of the only muscle groups where the Bell curves of male strength vs. female strength has essentially zero overlap. It was something like "the weakest 2% of men have stronger grip strength than 98% of women," or maybe even more extreme. IDK, I can't remember the source and I can't be bothered to look for it on a Saturday morning, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

I'm not IT, just a college instructor, but you'd be amazed at how many Gen Z students have told me that they can't log into their email because they don't know their own password. Not even forgot; they don't even know it in the first place because every device remembers everything for them.

I've always loved the idea of playing a warlock that presents themselves to the party as a cleric (and then seeing how long it takes people to catch on, both in and out of character)

Nothing like driving the "cleric" deeper into debt to their patron for a little more healing and then getting the whole party committed to some insane quest at the demand of the patron.

Yeah, I literally just sent this article to my partner with the commentary "...and this is why I no longer think we should ever buy a Tesla"

I don't want this egomaniac in charge of anything that has real-world safety implications for me and mine.

Jesus, I thought you were just using that as a figure of speech so that we could all understand that Space Daddy Musk was exhibiting meth-head-like tendencies, but no, he literally diverted a flight from Austin to Sac at the suggestion of his cousin, drove in a Corolla to the data center (edit: at 2 in the morning on Dec 24), and used his pocket knife to pry up the floorboards.

Fuck, how much cocaine has he been doing? He's about to hit John McAfee levels of bad decision making.

Also, Elon, I was just kidding about the "Space Daddy" stuff. If you want to send a few pounds of blow my way, HMU.

For instance, I made an account here in Lemmy.world because it seemed like a nice, well rounded place to start. However, I want stuff from TTRPG.network to show up when I browse my "frontpage," but all I see is my Lemmy.World communities.

I'm using Liftoff on Android at the moment, but I'm a newb, so I'm clearly not tied to that app.
