Dharma Curious

A well rounded graduate of highschool, having experienced multiple different kinds of work environments could help our society feel a little more connected, lead to kids better able to determine what it is they want to do with their lives. If you had to do this once per year during highschool, and you had to pick a different one each year, you’d end up with at least 4 different experiences by the end. That’s a lot better than our current system of “you’ve never been allowed to make a decision before. Now, my child, on your 18th year, decide your career for the rest of your life, and blindly take our 200 thousand dollars worth of loans to do it”

That’s fair, honestly. I was going to make a quip about kids not wanting to learn math, so what right do we have to force them to learn it. But in all honesty, you’re right. We treat kids like little machines who must do and say as we command, and that’s a problem. I still stand by saying that experience with the working world would be beneficial, and that it should be part of standard education, but as far as the ethics and morality of it goes, it’s a sticky area that would need much discussion.

I’m not suggesting that no one has empathy, or even that most don’t, just that some would benefit from this in that arena

How about we just add it to curriculum for school. During general highschool educational, you must take at least one Public Service class per year. You can choose from farming, retail, plumbing, electrician, road crew, et cetera. Each kid has to do a certain number of hour per school year, and it’s required even if private school kids. Disability would obviously be an exception, but otherwise you need to be doing at least X number of hours per school year to graduate. Could help people understand how these things work, and hopefully build some empathy in the little sociopaths.

Y’all need to stop offering me this, I’m gonna take one of you up on it. I want out of the south :(

I’m a tech moron, but I’ve been on Linux of and on since like 07ish. Full time since 2015ish. Started with Ubuntu way back when, and I’ve jumped around from distro to distro. I’ve tried Manjaro, mint, opensuse… God, I can’t even tell you what else. I once installed that Miley Cyrus Linux and ran it for like a week as a gag. But from 2015 onward when I went full time I’ve basically just been in Fedora (including silverblue and Bazzite). I’ve got Ubuntu running on a mini PC I’m using to set up a server for jellyfin and a few other things. But as far as my daily driver goes, it’s almost always fedora. I just fucking love it.

But bear in mind here, I’m a pretty surface level user, so what I love is actually Gnome. Lol

2 things:

1: I’ve gotten disco Elysium, and Ive only played a few minutes, but I don’t remember it having rolls like that? How does one know what one is rolling? I played like 20 minutes of it 3 months ago, so maybe I’m misremembering.

2: that’s how my brother DMs. I once critfailed a lock picking so badly that my character broke his finger. My brother laughed his ass off

Can you explain how to do this? I’d make the switch, honestly. Not a super techy person, but I’m willing to learn if it means a Linux phone.

Provided I don’t get stuck in a camp before then, I’m about to start nursing school. Once I have a BSN I’m getting my ass to a blue state. In the meantime it’s SC and TX D:

Honestly, at this point, I think when is the more accurate term. Balkanization is coming, I’m pretty sure

Said it before and I’ll say it again: if Cascadia ever looks like it’s gonna become a thing I’ll drive myself there and be homeless rather than live in the US with a weakened and even more right wing Senate and house.

What’s the benefit to this one over others?

Haven’t heard of that. Searched it and saw mistral ai. Is that the right one?

Can I know what that religion is?

Add into this people who love pits and own them, but also believe they will “turn,” and so constantly give their dogs subtle cues to be on edge, stressed, and like something is wrong. They’re no more prone to dangerous actions than any other breed, they’re just very, very intelligent dogs that learn how to react to their surroundings. The myth of the aggressive pit is what causes the aggressive pit. We need real education on dogs in general, because that Labrador you love or the poodle who was your best friend when you were a kid is just as capable of snapping or “turning.” All dogs can bite, and all breeds can be sweet and well behaved.

The scene with the wounds on his hands, something like:

“does it hurt?”

“Not really”

Pours salt in wounds “Does it now?”

“No”

Breaks thermometer into the wounds “how about now?”

“A little”

“Aww! Poor baby!” Bandages wounds

That scene has played on a loop in the back of my brain for decades. It’s fucking hilarious. That and when the evil master reveals his name is Betty, and plays Big Butts. I loved that movie before I started smoking weed, and I loved it even more the first time I watched it stoned.

Our family’s was “freckle past a hair and time to get a watch”

I sure do love me a sleep train

As a religious person, I will absolutely sleep with your partner while you’re stuck in traffic.

I love a nap. I’m always sleepy, and if you’re stuck in traffic and I’m bored, imma be sleepin.

Question. I am a computer dumb. Is this scary for me? Lol.
