You changed your name back already? I just saw the Druid one this morning? Always nice to see you, though.

I'd be either really good or really bad at a Bad Advice Column. All my answers would be, "You dumb shit! Stop doing that!"

Since this is coming from Fox rather than a legitimate news organization, does this mean they're trying to brace their viewers for a shitstorm about to be unleashed?

Ever. I read Hunter Biden is pushing back also too.

Doesn't 'testimony' have to be reproducible? Like recorded or taped?

Don't worry about it. Lots of thoughts and prayers going their way already.

Wasn't that Alexander Vindman?

What a grade-A arsehole. Thank god it was HIM killed by his idiocy, not his mother or a member of the medical staff, but how traumatic for them. His death increases the world's IQ, I think.

Sounds like Reddit's "Am I the Asshole" section. In the vast majority of cases, the asker is so clearly NOT the asshole that it sounds like they're making it up, but then I remember abusive relationships and gaslighting exist.

Depends on the job. Lots of jobs, a red latex miniskirt is a positive advantage.

Lots of students don't see value to themselves in the work they're assigned. The eternal cry of studying physics or trigonometry; "When are we going to NEED this in real life?". Especially when it's a compulsory subject the student's not enjoying, they just want to "tick the box" and get it over with. I'm neither lazy nor particularly willing to cheat, but if AI could have gotten quadratic equations out of my life without me getting caught, bring on the AI.

I told students that the actual facts they learned in school probably weren't going to be that useful to them, in the same way the lopsided box they made in woodwork was'n the real point of the exercise. The point was learning to use the tools and techniques: thinking, finding information, selecting the most relevant information, presenting it in a succinct and coherent manner.

The actual subject matter of the lessons were about as useful in themselves as that box. Just practise material.

HOW OFTEN does this have to happen before they click that fucking your staff is BAD? Or will at least be bad for you, if you get caught?

Lemme guess, it "just happened" and "this is not who he is".
