Antibathers? They had medical antibathers?

Oh shit oh fuck don't tell the antivaxers, imagine having coworkers who refuse to vaccinate and never bathe...

Maybe ultra low frequency somehow.

Mindfulness. That's what this all comes down to. Deliberately choosing how much time and energy you are going to invest in each path, depending on your specific goals and desires.

They way they have defined generalist in this discussion just says there is no such thing as a specialist because you cannot survive without learning a variety of things.

Basically this whole conversation is just saying that it is a spectrum, but both ends are impossible because of the nature of our existence. Thus we all exist as semi-specialized generalists. A realization that will shock noone.

Sucks to be a Texan, especially one who voted for these shitheel corrupt grifters.

Use your spider-centered language folks!

It should be: Spiders who are temporarily experiencing homelessness.

Proximity to light most likely means proximity to society and all the byproducts of civilization. If it turns out lights at night cause alzheimers I'd be stunned.

Well I almost said the world, but figured a pedant would come correct me about a specific example...

Isn't there someone like this in every town in the country?

 

Stupid but funny.

 
 

Not technically a mushroom I think, but could have fooled me.

 

Long but good.

I am feeling pretty detached at the moment. Figure I would use this space to think aloud.

I have been fighting with admin at my school for proper support for me as a teacher and for help fixing a broken program for my students. I got laid off effective the end of the school year. Think it might be because I was a pain in the ass, but I don't know for sure. I wasn't doing a great job because they overloaded me. More different classes than most teachers. Shit support.

Covid money ran out, they had to lay off some of the conditionally certified teachers and I was one of them. The timing was just... all my complaints, I they were making me cover a position that was vacant while doing my regular teaching, and the students were missing out. I don't think I could prove it but it feels like they got rid of me because I was not satisfied with their answers.

I can't bring myself to finish getting my teacher certification. I'd have to go out of county to teach.

I worked 10 years with the homeless, burnt out and fucked it up. Then 2 years working for a law firm supposedly helping people and figure out its just bullshit, helping people was incidental and barely helped. Worked for the cops supposedly helping addicts in person, they just wanted me to do data entry. No idea what I should do.

It took a lot of courage to get myself to try being a teacher. 3 years at the schools and now I fucking again have to figure out what to do all over again.

And I have to go into the school for over a month and pretend everything is okay. Fuck I hate this.

 

What's the best game deal you ever got?

For me it was the original Subnautica. Was a free give away before it got popular and I had no expectations when I played it. Really enjoyed the exploration and the pacing.

Second was Axiom Verge - I got it for free before it became popular but I don't remember how. I bought it when it went to Steam because I wanted to support the creator.

Both are fun exploration sorts of games if you haven't played them. Axiom Verge is a metroidvania. Kinda a weird game, but in a good way.

 

What's a good basic table saw? I look at them online and can't really tell much a difference. I'm tempted to just get a harbor freight one but know the fence will probably be loose and other annoyances...

Anyone have a specific recommendation for someone who is only occasionally playing around with simple carpentry?
