You can find examples of people on each ‘side’ being assholes
Very true!
I heard re-orienting after retirement isn’t always easy.
Way way harder than I thought. A month in I felt guilty about feeling weird. I mean, hey, I get a pension for rest of my life. I'm still young (early 50's), fit and healthy. This should be awesome! I can shitpost on Lemmy all day!
But ugh, I miss the kids, co-workers, etc. I have an active social life, but it's not the same as having good solid co-workers going thru the trenches with ya. I have my own business now, so that's relieved some of the weirdness of not working, so we'll see.
I would never in a million years thought being retired would feel weird. But yep, it's strange till ya find your footing.
PTB or CLM. But it's .world, so of course they suck.
I worked in high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools before I retired a few months ago. In my experience, it was easily over 60% of our work that relied on AI. We used it for lesson plans, activity planning, scheduling, meal plans (especially for students with dietary needs), presentation layouts, parent communications, fundraising letters, and even board meeting speeches. Every teacher and aide I worked with used AI regularly. (Obviously, we didn't blindly use it without vetting/cross-checking. We used it more like a personal assistant. We still taught, graded, interacted, led, etc. personally)
As for time saved, I’m not sure. Any time it saved was quickly taken up by other responsibilities. Honestly, I had to use AI just to finish all my assigned tasks each day. Even then, I still found myself working after school and at home.
I’ve had a lot of jobs, but teaching was by far the hardest. I loved the kids, though, so it was worth it. Even though I’m retired now, I still miss them. I’m actually thinking about going back as a substitute teacher just because I miss everyone so much.
Hey, you do you, boo. But I can't take you seriously when you talk like that. It actually doesn't matter if I take you seriously or not tho, so keep on keepin' on.
For real tho, Lemmy needs to stop with the murder talk. I am seeing a lot of it. Murder execs. Murder presidents, etc. I'm all for "fuck tha Man!" but let's not glorify or advocate for murder. It's pretty sickening. It's not a good thing for Lemmy to have a bunch of extremists talking about murdering people (or using code-words for it).
you slimy little prick.
Namecalling isn't the way to go about this. I get it, you're passionate. I hate .world too. But calm down with the name calling; it dilutes your argument.
Unlike other mods you bullied off Lemmy, I cannot be bullied. Take your bitch ass to Jon like you did with Wren, go on, I fucking DARE you.
Tho you're wrong in this thread, I do admire that spunk! I can appreciate anyone refusing to be bullied off of Lemmy; lots of people tried to bully me off of Lemmy. So definitely don't leave Lemmy.
But alas, it's .world, so I'm gonna have to say PTB! Because .world is one of the most toxic instances on Lemmy, and your comm is one of the most toxic comms.
But having seen real antisemitism myself, this all makes me very nervous.
I feel the same! I've seen it in person (my gf is jewish), and I've seen some pretty scary posts on Lemmy lately. There are a whole lot of innocent victims on both sides of all this simply because people forget that governments suck, not necessarily all the people. Governments pretty much suck everywhere.
You can. This community is on a good instance.
PTB. Like always for .world lol
I used to think that, too. But I sent a PM to someone about this very subject once because I didn't wanna ban them. He replied that PM'ing him was one of the most pathetic things he'd ever seen in his life and said I was an idiot. Maybe a one-off.
Ok, so another person was giving me issues and stalking me and downvoting everything I posted (I'm not well-loved on Lemmy haha), I PM'd them and said I didn't wanna ban them, but downvoting across all my comms was in bad taste. He told me to fuck off and that he could downvote anything he wanted to.
Lesson learned. Way too many people on Lemmy who don't like your attitude or views, are freakin crazy. As in stalk you crazy. One person, whom I won't name (and admin here knows their name!), would regularly write to admins with pages of "proof" about how terrible I am for Lemmy. And why the outrage? I voted third party in the election. LMAO
Now I have no problem banning problem children without notice. The crazy on Lemmy is a whole 'nother level of crazy. lol
What I don't get, is why the serial downvoting? If ya don't like a community, just block it. But some refuse to block and just go in and downvote every single post. It's happening more and more.
Not saying OP did that, but it's happening. And we can see it happening because as mods, we are able to see the names of downvoters. Other people in this thread are noticing the same thing, so it's not just me saying that.
