5hinkitn of sleep thinking rather i haven't slept for more than like 5 hours in months it's probably bad for me but i keep wanting to do my dailies in these damn phone games whats up with you
i have a buttload of work to do but i'm thinking about havinga 5am drink instead and watching food videos because im hungry and dont have any food i was gonna see if you wanted to look at foods with me
i had a few 2am drinks and then a 3am drink and then like 3 or 4 4am drinks i haven't drank this much in a really really long timme probably not since st. louis but i also took a sleep aid like 10 minutes ago so i will probably pass out pretty soon i have to at least get some sleep before work today
what the fuck else did we get besides the toasted ravs that night? aw man we didn't even get to do the whole festival i wanted to take you to karaoke and watch the weeb memelords cringe it up we didn't even get to do the shopping at the booths and stuff we fed the kois though and gave a shitload of fish food to that little kid she was so happy
>lost 1 unit grrrrrr I would have been in the 10k-20k tier Should have brought both dancers Arena Assault is so much pressure You get that one armor team and you're sitting for 15 minutes planning and 20 minutes fighting Armor Robin is the worst. I complain about this but the armor team isn't even the one I lost a unit to. Double Infantry Pulse Ninian/Ike, with Micaiah on Glimmer and Deirdre on Iceberg (+ Quickened Pulse) so both of them are charged from the start. If I chose two dancers instead of one, I could have killed everyone but Ninian in a single turn (because that's the only way)
Although, the decision came more out of anger because I forgot to get gems during the time that GW2 had something I really wanted and now it's gone. Limited runs are terrible.

one hting I hate about pokemon is the random number gods eternal hatred of me >move deals 8 damage on every use >excpt when you had 10 hp left and it decided to deal 10
is weird how cut has never been boosted at all most of the other hm moves are viable to have long term, but not cut yet cut is the one that you usually need most to get to places
oh right it is one use but you can have sturdy on it that makes it immortal
TN
aside from poison, curse, or weather effects etc
ToN
>>443289 sturdy shesinja actually is immortal when playing with cheats unless you poison etc it really works
TN
I bet it is banned from tourneys etc but even if you know how to defeat it, getting it thrown at you is a good spanner I mean, you will have to figure out somehting to throw at it, and od you even have anything atm? and doesn't it normally have wonder guard too, making it damn hard to kill anyhow
ToN
>>443292 well gyeah because you have to CHEAT of course its banned silly

man would it be fun to sometimes make a multihit killer thee is an ability that makes those hit max times right?

Also I still find it bit disturbing to have kindergardeners running around with pokemons on them

"pokemon is just a fad, it'll go away" literally kids still playin with it today that are now my age when it came out
FormerRei@mobile
Also I find it amusing how people talk about Pokémon Go as if it were a failure.

the only reason im not playing pgo anymore is because i'm isolated and rural and there aint shit
I can no longer freely shitpost This is an outrage

Arizona woman dies after being hit by a self driving Uber vehicle on Sunday, the first fatal pedestrian incident involving an autonomous vehicle.
Kirara 🚗
it's great that we just keep marching forward with technology as if there are no consequences
Anno
>>443303 it's lucky that it happens so that we'll know how to make it not happen
Kirara 🚗
we could do a lot more research and make sure it doesn't happen at all trial and error isn't the way to test new tech if it can take lives
TN
hmm 4,5% c hance to hit 6 times in a row with hypnosis successfully I sure have beswt of luck
Anno
that's research and development, the largest wallet in a company if we spend money on prevention, that's slowing down commercial progress a ton a company's goal is to blast commercial progress as much as possible, and if they do something that fucks it up, that's what the legal system is for, to put boundaries in place so that they have to sink their money into safety first >>443308 what i'm saying isn't reflective of my opinion i'm sharply chastising it in the form of defending it i've been prone to doing that lately because i like seeing it quoted in arguments from the side that's trying to defend it
Kirara 🚗
that's good, we need to slow it down because we are destroying ourselves
Kirara 🚗
i understand how the system is supposed to "work" but it just doesn't work
capitalism is so frustrating profit motive is so stupid
0,16% chanc e of hitting with crunch 4 times and with each time lower deff
Anno
>>443309 yeah my vitriole is getting too sharp to be expressed bluntly i'm tryna be creative
although an honest point is that shit like this does help focus that commercial progress in the right direction, but not for the companies itself all the fuckin tech bubble stuff is gonna start osmosing and we're gonna have safety consultants and experts and boards of technological ethics and things because nobody's going to invest in technology that kills people well not // i guess they actually would but not technology that isn't designed to kill people but does it inadvertently
i can't wait for the safety and ethics bubble maybe we can finally have big boy jobs
Kirara 🚗
i agree that it's going to end up at that point but my worry is that it'll take 20+ years to really hit that point as strongly as it needs to and there are a lot of opportunities for the process to get corrupted along the way it drives me mad to know how many people will die
Anno
how much do you think her family is gonna be able to sue uber for there unless it was a homeless woman who didn't have a family which i wouldn't be surprised then nobody is gonna care
Kirara 🚗
I've been thinking a lot about how we've engineered environments that are incredibly toxic to us and how it's manifesting in such strange behaviors in regards to concepts like truth
like we're not equipped to handle the sheer amount of information pouring in on us at any time i think we young people that grew up with progressive increases in information around us have acclimated to it better but evolutionarily, the amount of "factual" information we gain is overwhelming to us, and even if we can navigate it at some level, the amount of stress it inflicts on our mind is probably astounding
Anno
Even among younger people, I feel there's those that have reacted really "poorly" to the swell of information we have to handle. I kind of feel the increase in jaded, "nothing is true and nothing matters" view on life is because they've become convinced you can't trust anything you recieve information-wise. It's like a pendulum swinging too far the "wrong" way on the critical thinking metronome. Or at least I feel there's a correlation between the two aspects in people I see with the both of them.
Anno
>>443314 imo it's not the engineered environments that manifest strange behaviors, but the removal of an immersed, continuous infological environment we're so isolated from the environment that all the boundaries that herded us into a centralized infoscape aren't there to meld that contiguous behavior of community we were more interconnected before and our behavior had to accomodate all the others that we shared the same plight of survival with
facts aren't even real anymore because they were only real in the scope of the shared social interface which we dont have i mean yeah some observations are universal but facts that are relevant to us individually and psychologically aren't it's really just whatever, and without that mesh network, there's no behavioral friction or viscosity to just jaunt off in one direction and follow it way off of the centralized arena like that fuckin penguin in the herzog documentary that just starts walkin off away from the ocean by itself and won't stop walkin until it dies alone
we've lost some generation constraint as the evolution of information has grown faster than our generational memory and it's pretty fucked up in a unique way for the first time there's a lot of whatever goes like the early days of navigation and people could just sail off wherever and find new shit if we don't establish some new network of information to connect us, it's gonna take forever for humans to reach an equilibrium here and not just dissolve
Peter coffin has a video on something like this, but I dunno which one it is I'm tryna figure it out
Kirara 🚗
>>443316 i see, so you see it as a result of the growing social alienation and death of community rather than a result of stress accumulating from a from information overload? stuff like loss of context
Anno
not specifically social and communal, but the general lack of environmental boundaries social is still somewhat well preserved despite a lot of shit i just mean that i don't think it's caused from the environment, but something that previously had been suppressed or maintained through a robust environment which we lack it's too fuckin cold out there and we're drawn to anything warm even if not the warm we'd really like
He's got too many videos, finding it will be way too much work
Kirara 🚗
>>443319 that makes sense like moths drawn to light, even if it means setting ourselves on fire
Kirara 🚗
i gotta start planning my dissertation soon
Anno
not exactly but i think there's a better moth analogy there, if you know how they're logistically attracted to the flame, that the light stimulates the wings and it' // it's not a conscious action to move towards it they come out at night and flap around because they'd be overstimulated if they did that during the day and wouldn't have much internal control so they sleep instead
i guess that doesn't really connect to anything but i think it's cool
Kirara 🚗
i didn't know that actually, that is pretty interesting
Anno
yeah, really you're bein the asshole for bringing light to the moths they're not being an asshole for cluttering around your front porch
Anno
I like watching moths around a light. But I would rather they stay as far away from me as possible while they do that.
Kirara 🚗
i hate the idea of doing a dissertation because academia is so messed up that i doubt i could do anything that really matters to me and it's basically impossible to do proper research
Anno
academia is another thing that's gonna go out the fuckin window not because there's better access through the internet to information, but because it's no longer necessary to stay within the confines of that system and you don't have to yield to the communal pressure of what to focus your efforts and studies on, because we're becoming so specialized grants come from people with motives afterall, and even before that you gotta be taken under someone else's research or get an advisor to approve things otherwise the school's like no fuck you school's so fucked up and they dont know they're so fucked up because it's a self-maintaining system they're too political
stuff like looking at alienation and depression/anxiety but alienation in the way im interested in has been ignored by psychology wholesale because it's anti-capitalist in nature so there's no established method of discussing or measuring alienation and i can't just do a dissertation on something that has no established backing because the system is stupid and id need "permission"
You'd need to get money for that research somewhere, and it's not like the capitalists will pay for it Maybe the DSA but like, that's a long shot
Anno
>>443332 the problem with this is that you get policy like increased spend for companies on energy, and a lot of companies and other non-company groups will do grants around energy, and then you get everybody in the world majoring in climate science because it's the only thing that they can get grants on, but because it's so overfunded it fucks up the process and only novel things are being approved for grants -- nobody wants to do or fund replication studies because there's no point, and also it risks delegitimizing a previous study that was done to support climate science, which is political suicide and that causes a ton of statistical problems and leads to bad data and bad science but even me making this argument makes it sound like i'm a climate change denier, and that's just how bad the stigma and politics of academia is i'm for preserving the integrity of the data and scientific method, and that particular field fucks it all up
>>443334 what // is there anything you're feeling specifically that you'd want to do given the current feasibility within that academic landscape
Kirara 🚗
i can do an alternative project that might be good instead of research, it's like a systematic evaluation of community needs, overviews of populations, stuff like that it'd be more theory-driven and would allow me to be critical of the system while describing an alternative method
>>443333 It's how the system is, unfortunately There's a profit motive for science that supports corporations, and they're the ones funding all the science If they don't need something, it doesn't get done
We're trapped, as a society, forced to bend ot the whims of whoever has money, and that's unfortunately an ever decreasing chunk of the population, with shared interests in conflict with the majority It's one of my biggest peeves with the system, that we have an actual incentive in it for misinformation or the hiding of scientific information
It's so all-encompassing, it digs into every sphere of our lives from work to media to education to social life
Marsh-chan
>>443334 but would you not get the same credit that you would for a dissertation?
Kirara 🚗
I'd get the same credit since this is a clinical program, not a research oriented program
>>443333 I'm not sure of the bounds I can operate within, but I'd love tk write about the systematic discrimination that poor people face and how anti-poor psychology is and the effect that has on their well-being
Kirara 🚗
it could be anti-capitalist but i could temper it enough to be acceptable for academia
A study into the detrimental effects of a mental health sector focused more on making you able to work than anything else could be interesting
Anno
>>443337 they'd probably see it as going against some already-established connections with mental illness like, saying that poor people face that discrimination and how it affects them, when really they've probably got mental illness because they grew up poor in homes that didn't have "good enough" parenting (that actual "good enough" terminology, not the general sense, i dunno where it comes from) and that their problems are the problems of mental health interfacing with society, and bein poor doesnt have much to do with it because mental ill already feel victimized so it's an invalid data set
probably some bullshit like that
Anno
idk im not a psychologist sorry
Kirara 🚗
id probably get critiques like that but i don't think they'd shoot me down I'd have to defend my project orally so that kind of gives me a small advantage idrk
Anno
i am cynically paranoid so i think everything will fail before i even try so that's where my thoughts stem from for anything that involves other people by fail, i dont mean my failure, but a system failure or interpretation failure that seems to be my problem with this recruiting job too, i just can't do anything i'm just in a loop of, "no, that won't work" for everything so i keep doing nothing i sent an email expressing to the client that they may want to have someone else handle it because i doubt i can get shit done if they ask im just gonna tell em my mental health is so fucked up i can't function like a normal person does
Kirara 🚗
idk if it's fair to call it paranoia when there are constant system and interpretation failures everywhere and especially considering how much you've been affected by them
Anno
Fatalistic mindsets like that are real fucking prisons to get stuck in. It's one I have a lot of trouble with in a lot of things I do, where my first thought on something is that it's certain failure or a waste of time to try. The mindset itself is kind of recursive too, since it's easy to consider attempts to overcome it as inherent failures themselves and not even trying.
Anno
>>443344 comes back to the idea that facts don't real in the current social landscape it's merited and justifiable in my context, and it enables me to function in the ways i consider important but within my family, within any workplace that i'm part of, within any healthcare sphere of talking to a doctor or cyclogist, they'd deem it as being unable to function normally or undue fear and apprehension, and probably hysteria
but i bet if i were surrounded in a social sphere of mathematicians and had some basic livelihood, i'd be considered exceptionally functional i don't have the means to reach a job that utilizes my functions well because im poor af same with rei to be honest, though i don't mean to call him poor and am not sure if he is but he's good at functioning in certain ways too
I don't even know if I qualify as poor or not Personally I ain't got shit for money But I do live with my dad
Kirara 🚗
this is part of why i hate CBT so much it's centered on this idea that certain behaviors and coping mechanisms are Not Right functional people are told they need to be more typical because they "learned wrong" from the experiences they've had if the world shits on you and you learn to function within that shit world, that should be encouraged, you shouldn't be treated like those experiences aren't valid because they're not typical context is completely ignored it's so frustrating to see
Kirara 🚗
i wonder if id be a happier person if i were less developed so i could just dismiss fucked up shit as not normal and so i // it doesn't real
Marsh-chan
>>443348 well isn't it predicated on the idea that those coping mechanisms aren't sustainable or beneficial in the long run that's what makes them "wrong" it's not a moral judgement
Anno
>>443348 this is simply not true and a lazy mindset, that people dont want to do anything with themselves but complain when they don't have the same results as other people there's resources available!! go to school, get an education. think you cant? there's scholarships out there! my daughter just got a $400 scholarship. for what you ask? Nothing! It's available for anyone to apply! You just go and do it! There's no reason you can't be a graduate from college when there's resources available to you, and if you go to college, then the whole world is available to you. i'm sick and tired of people acting like this world owes them something just so they can be lazy and not put in any hard work!!
Kirara 🚗
>>443350 the coping mechanisms often are sustainable or beneficial in the contexts of the person's life, but that context is ignored cognitive behavioral therapy has techniques that are just "replace your thoughts with The Right Way Of Thinking"
the behavioral aspects are generally solid, like helping with phobias or learning specific skills
This is an *a somewhat biased discussion. I've had a hell of a lot of therapy and I can list off some coping mechanisms I've had that really aren't sustainable. Like hitting my head when I did something stupid Or ignoring and not doing things that stress me out even if tgey are things that I want to have completed.
Of course there are self-destructive or ineffective coping mechanisms
Kirara 🚗
>>443353 im not saying that people don't develop unsustainable coping mechanisms, just that CBT invalidates a lot of sustainable ones because it ignores context
Anno
>>443354 imo coping is wholly ineffective and regressive the only way forward is to grieve
>>443360 good grief charlie brown, you sure are a sulky piece of shit what's wrong with you

Kirara 🚗
my professor's 10 year old son is incredibly oppositional and has recently started citing laws and shit to give reasons why he shouldn't have to do homework and readings and shit they hired a behavioral analyst to make him less oppositional
he's apparently really good with electronics, too keeps taking shit apart and finding out how it works
>>443377 Okay maybe he is pretty smart. Just on a different context.
Kirara 🚗
he's like, incredibly intelligent but he doesn't have the critical thinking development to manipulate people effectively yet he's probably going to be scary as an adult
Gonna raise my kid right if I ever have one They're not gonna listen to a fucking word I say
Anno
Having been around a good number of kids like that. They have pretty much always been shitheads. Like not even in your "oh I rebel against hierchy" kind of shithead. I mean "I'm going to be an arrogant douche to people who don't deserve it" shithead.
I'll tell them to do pot, but they'll be so opposed to authority they'll wait until they're 23
Kirara 🚗
>>443382 yeah he seems like he'll just be a douchebag unless he gets some good guidance he doesn't seem to have a strong sense of empathy yet
Anno
Like, assuming good parents. Questioning why they tell you to do things is healthy and inspires critical thinking from a young age. But also understanding that they're telling you to do things which are beneficial to you even if you don't want to do it is also important.
Kirara 🚗
oh def he's gotta learn to navigate society he already failed first grade because he won't do the work and is in danger of failing another grade
I don't think you can do that here anymore I know you used to be able to fail grades here, but not anymore I think High school you can fail grades
Kirara 🚗
like he just doesn't do his work at all unless he gets his head on straight and at least learns to make the gears turn, he's gonna be in trouble
it'll kind of be a shame to lose that oppositionality though
Anno
I'm a little confused as to why, as it seems from your recounting, that the parents have done not much in cooperation with the school to find resolutions. Like putting him on an IEP or into a program for kids who don't interface with "normal" classes, like what I was put into.
>>443391 The hellworld which forms around you dictates this kid is gonna meet Holden and it'll be all sorts of fucking wild
Kirara 🚗
>>443392 you can't get on an IEP here unless you're diagnosed with something and they've evaluated him and he's got no diagnosis so he can't get any special help
All I had to take to get into the Gifted program here was, what I faintly remember, some kind of IQ test. Granted I had a history of excelling in certain aspects of schooling, and outright refusing to do work in other aspects. But they brought me into a room and for like an hour or two asked me questions on word definitions or simple block puzzles and other things I can't remember anymore since I was like, nine or ten when this happened. I don't even know what my results from whatever the test were but come next year I was going into the program.
Kirara 🚗
you often have to fight hard to get an IEP and then even harder to get it honored it's really bad here, man
i had a 504 which is like an IEP and teachers usually tried not to have to honor it they'd get around it by separating me from all the other students and stuff
Anno
I don't think I really took much advantage of my IEP. But I don't believe it was an inherently negative fault of the teaching staff; at least, I don't believe they were intentionally trying to not honour it. It's just the initiative for utilizing it was placed heavily on me, and the staff weren't particularly pushing me to use the features of it. And between not wanting to make a stir and having a hard time having the motivation to do schoolwork, I never really took advantage of it.
FormerRei@mobile
I should've taken better advantage of mine. I was afraid to ask sometimes.
>>443400 Worked in my school district. For the most part. But that's because the disparity between how well schools are funded depending on the district.
Kirara 🚗
my mom threatened to sue the school district if they didn't implement it properly so then they forced me to use it on the state standardized tests, they'd put me in a room and give me like two extra hours of time that i didn't need it was so miserable
>>443405 Yeah honestly, another reason I didn't really take advantage of it was, I always heard it was just shit like extra time isolated from other people. Which really, I didn't think would help much. The tests and in-class essays I had to write, I could always do within time. If I didn't know the answer or how to do it, giving me more time wasn't going to magically pull it out of my brain. I didn't have a problem doing tests I had a problem caring or ably remembering the information I needed to do the tests.

>>443409 yeah hardest thing for me has always been the homeworks and stuff motivation stuff but there's nothing to help with that
FormerRei@mobile
>>443409 Different people need different types of accomodations. Thats why its called "individual education plan". >>443411 In younger (pre highschool) students giving them more challenging material can help sometimes. That helped a lot for me. Although I also enjoyed learning and doing math and reading novels so I did pretty well before my anxiety and depression manifested.

Having good teachers also helps, you don't feel any reason to work hard if your teacher is boring.

FormerRei@mobile
>>443416 Well then I guess they'll have to find something to do to prepare themselves for life. Err something else
Anno
>>443420 I think he's mentioned some statistics before that a large percentage of houses in Finland are built with their own sauna. Like it's culturally appropriate to have one.
Kirara 🚗
>>443421 people don't really get to do that unfortunately
FormerRei@mobile
>>443423 That's the joke If you don't like school, tough shit. There aren't many other "institutions" that prepare you for life.
Anno
>>443422 i wasn't sure if he did or if he used a community one or something i'm not sure if that's a social thing or a private thing the ones in the states are big and kind of a social thing i guess i mean not social, but you know you got other folks you're sharing it with
Anno
>>443416 Yeah. Getting an education is pretty nearly universally necessary, but the established model is pretty terrible at catching the people that fall through the cracks and can't interface with it.
Kirara 🚗
>>443424 tbf school doesn't really prepare people for life very effectively
FormerRei@mobile
>>443427 Yeah that's why highschool drop outs make so much money. It doesn't effectively for everyone. But it does enough for enough people that its considered an important part of life.
Anno
i'd have made more money if i dropped out of school during high school i could have done transcription work back then, granted i'd be paid less and wouldn't be as good at it but i mean, starting at 16 and having six years under my belt by the age that i ended up leaving college, i could have been making double what i'm making now, six years ago, and with fewer expenses i could have had a real life going on instead of this joke
Kirara 🚗
>>443428 a high school diploma isn't worth anything anymore and the need for degrees is artificial, it doesn't represent that a high school diploma means anything in terms of preparation for life people don't learn many practical skills for life in school
There are people responding to stuff I've said in my mentions and I can do nothing aaaa
FormerRei@mobile
>>443430 You learn math and ypu learn how to read, you also learn about how your government "works" in theory. Its better than nothing
Anno
>>443430 I don't really agree with that. Education is important in instilling critical thinking from a young age -- or ideally should. And even if education -- formalized education at least -- was developed by society, society has been shaped by the education system itself. Going through the education process is beneficial to helping people navigate that society as well.
FormerRei@mobile
You also learn how to not be stupid.
Anno
i think people that don't go to school still have critical thinking skills it's just not contained in the spheres where you usually utilize those skills so it's not noticed
FormerRei@mobile
Fuck dude, really Not everyone gets the same amount of skills from school. But a hell of a lot of people get a lot from it.
Err, in that this discussion has not reached the point where I feel the need to appeal to that.
FormerRei@mobile
You're just taking all this shit you've learned for granted.
Kirara 🚗
>>443433 i don't agree that education in the way it is provided today is important for developing any kind of skill
FormerRei@mobile
And that's because you had a shitty experience and are biased against it.
Kirara 🚗
no, it's because im well read actually
FormerRei@mobile
Oh So you're educated? Well not everyone is that good at educating themselves. So school does it for them.
Anno
>>443433 helpful to navigate -that- society yeah some people that don't go to school have to nagivate a society that's a lot more intimately connected, like on the streets or in prison/juvy it's no less complex of a society, and you gotta have some pretty serious critical thinking in those elements too it's just what youre thinking critically about, and the avenues for success are different and tbh i dunno if you know but there's avenues to success even in prison there's a pretty rigid credit and merit system there too did you know they got bookies and loan sharks operating out of their cells it's p crazy how resourceful poor, uneducated people can be
Kirara 🚗
i basically had to educate myself yeah and school is not that effective school as it is today is not effective for a large number of people - this is an objective fact
FormerRei@mobile
Because you've been to every school in the us and know what their curricula are >>443445 Define "large", cause I'll agree with you, school doesn't help everyone. But it helps the majority of people.
Kirara 🚗
yes, it does work for the majority
there is a minority that it doesn't work for, though
FormerRei@mobile
So then because of that schools should be abolished?
Kirara 🚗
hmm sounds like you're putting words in my mouth
FormerRei@mobile
>>443449 I'm not putting words in your mouth, I'm asking you a question.
Kirara 🚗
i never said schools should be abolished, just that they do not teach the "life skills" they are purported to there have historically been other systems of education which had the effect of teaching the skills our schools do, in addition to many other life skills
Anno
this three watt turtle lamp doesn't have much value but i have three of them doesn't mean i think they should be abolished
Maria
>>443451 What would you propose to do about it then
FormerRei@mobile
Vocational schools and apprenticeships
Kirara 🚗
>>443453 schools need to be expanded to accommodate other ways of learning in an effective way, and above all, they need a complete overhaul in curriculum
>>443455 so you're saying that the entire system needs to be overhauled because it doesn't work for some minority of students? Do you know how long that would take? What about interim, do you suggest they just stop school until they fix it? Do you have anything more specific in mind than "overhaul the entire curriculum" or are you just going to be vague?
Kirara 🚗
so you're saying that we should ignore the people it doesn't work for because a majority is fine?
>>443457 The timeframe and costs are irrelevant to whether it should or needs to happen
Kirara 🚗
you can actually implement changes over a few years without too much trouble the only argument against it is cost considering schools get no money as is, it's obviously not going to happen because our system is rotten to its very core
FormerRei@mobile
>>443458 I never said ignore them But redoing an entire system rather than adding something on to it just to benefit some minority isn't effective
Anno
>>443459 It is relevant to whether or not it will happen though.
>>443462 Of course it is But if it needs to or should be done, and that's something we recognize, the only rational way to approach it is to then figure out a way to do it with the resources we have But what our resources are isn't relevant to whether it should be done in the first place, only the implementation once that's even agreed on
Anno
don't be a fool drop outta school

>>443461 the new curriculum would serve the majority better and teach them life skills
FormerRei@mobile
>>443459 If you're using "should" "need" or "ought" you need to think for a second about "won't".
>>443467 It will change though It's not a well supported stance to take that this is the end product of human educational systems
FormerRei@mobile
>>443471 Just because it will change doesn't mean it will anytime soon. Hell its even possible we'll annihilate ourselves before fixing the US educational system. So maybe it won't. Although then we wouldn't be fucking people over in the school system so I guess that's an improvement.
Anno
>>443464 If there is no feasible plan of action for people to agree on to acheive something with limited time and resources, then there is marginal value in establishing what should or needs to be done.
>>443485 Sometimes things don't work just as planned. That's why people run experiments to test things.
Kirara 🚗
if something has worked and has been replicated hundreds of times across many years, across many contexts, in the real world, we can assume that it will work in similar contexts to the ones it's already established as effective in

Driverless cars worked pretty well too. Them not hitting people had been replicated over thousands of drives in testing across many roads in different areas all over the US.
>>443488 this is a ridiculous argument you cannot compare driverless cars which have worked in a few settings under specific circumstances to existing systems of education that have been functioning for years and years across the world
but hey maybe we should never try to improve anything why make life better? it might not go perfectly it's better to never even tru
FormerRei@mobile
>>443490 Oh so then those systems of education that you're talking about don't count as schools? Because schools are ineffective you said it yourself. What I'm saying is that for a proposed improvement there's no guarantee that it will work, even if there is empirical data supporting it. I do think schools should be improved. But some schools need improvement more than others. "Improving" all schools isn't going to happen quickly barring something incredible happening. Change takes time.
Kirara 🚗
you lost the fucking plot somewhere, buddy oh my gosh
I do think that the way we teach students needs to be re-thought from the ground up. I think the past few decades and the many failed programs tend to suggest that one of the problems plaguing our schools is standardized testing and teaching methods. Kids need to be taught in a more flexible way that considers their individual needs to help them find their way into the walk of life that is best suited for them.
沙耶
Hire more teachers for a better student - to - teacher ratio, and then pay the teachers more to give a damn That'll probably help with improvement more quickly at any rate, regardless of the particulars (which will likely be able to sort themselves out)
>>443420 naww my own place only has a community sauna, which is 15€ a month to use, once a week bit too much for my taste, especially since you have to kinda always be present on the booked day, of your choice, but always same day for a month, which means any trip or sudden leave and you are paying for nothing
also the sauna will still be heated, so it is also wasted energy
but currently am enjoying minivacation in the capital
I would say toss out standardized testing entirely. I guess you're still going to have college tests and whatever, but our problem is that we think that every student should hit like a base level of performance and that's silly. Our system is obsessed with competing with asian countries on standardized tests, and asians cheat like hell.
We should identify people who have the potential to be really smart and get them the education they need, and teach people with lower potential life skills and how to do jobs and not become drug addicts.
沙耶
>>443495 Ah, I hit 'done' Well, yeah, if you pour resources like nothing else into something, it'll probably help it. Of course, you need to make sure the resources (money and people) are well utilized. >>443499 I wonder if more money meant better A/B testing of teaching methods and then being able to just pick the best one Which is probably not the super rigid stuff that is currently happening, but at the very least, there'll be better/reproducible research for it. If there's more money in schools, and people can then afford to be more picky about things, the school utilizing the better teaching methods will likely get more students and all, and the ones stuck in the past will die out or be forced to adapt. But at the moment, students, parents, and teachers all can't really afford to do anything other than what is more or less forced on them due to things like financial constraints (well other things too, but money is a big one).
Anno
>>443494 That is a horribly simplistic approach to the problem. While teachers do need to be paid better and ratios are probably leaning in many areas towards too many students to a teacher, that does nothing to fix the fact that many, many kids inherently balk at the rigidity of the current education system, and adding the potential for teachers to care more is no promise of students being more enthusiastic towards their own education.
FormerRei@mobile
>>443499 >That is a horribly simplistic approach to the problem. That's this entire conversation That and "that's an incredibly vague and abstracted approach"
another problem with school is that it's so inefficient that they have to reteach half the previously covered stuff every year and it takes so long that less than half the class is dedicated to new material but if someone falls behind, they're also left to die?? the values here are incongruent
沙耶
>>443502 Yeah, that goes to what Yuu was saying about individual needs. Some students will need some more support, others will need more material to not be bored.

also since I only have a one bedsheet for my actual bed, it is kinda hard to wash it especially considering it takes a day or so to dry it if your sheets are drying, where do you sleep?
school isn't even really necessary for a lot of people it's important to prevent parents from abusing their children by withdrawing them from school, but the rules that force all kids to go to school can be harmful to others
jan didn't even finish elementary school and he's incredibly intelligent and well developed in a lot of spheres, especially some that schools don't foster learning in

>>443506 As long as there's some baseline of education for individuals as a whole, it // that was phrased poorly. As long as there's some baseline of education that individuals in society meet, it lets society run more smoothly. Not sure where to draw that baseline, but things to be able to do to function well in society should at least be taught (unless the person already knows it) Perhaps some way of testing out of things, but again, that goes back to the whole running people through the system according to their needs. >>443510 Yep, definitely being able to read is important.

I don't remember much about it though, other than them having just seized these apartments and lived there now Could have been one of those ghost cities, for all I know

there are places that are run as communities without coercive hierarchy where people get what they need and do what they can and spend their time living their lives in fact in some places, they improve the lives of the people more than the government does because they're socially driven and making life better for each other is inherently motivating
Do the cops just not do anything? Or do they fight back? >>443551 I should clarify that as I understood it, it was the people who did rent the places Basically just stopped paying as a group and lived there I guess?

From some stuff I've read, pirates were fairly democratic too Or at least some where were* >>443585 They're a sort of society Each crew isn't necessarily, but the crews still have structures that reflect the overall society I would think

yeah but pirate crews aren't really a society although they're like a community
Kirara 🚗
the crews of most pirate ships had like less than 40 people which makes it extraordinarily easy to organize but yeah they were democratic generally
there were pirate alliances and such and even "federations", but they msotly just were similiar to criminal organisations and such or merchant unions of the day and usually got crushed by the nearest national navy >>443588 well yeah

he's probably not outside of society, but he probably has limited interpersonal relationships if he had strong or numerous interpersonal connections, he wouldn't have managed this long he probably doesn't have a job
He'll definitely be caught or shot. Armed robbers are kind of categorically stupid because you have to be an idiot to partake in armed robbery. There are much better and safer illegal ways to get money.
Kirara 🚗
armed bank robbers usually aren't doing it for the money, the money is just a bonus they do it for the thrill
the major draw for most bank robbers when it comes to thrill is the power when you pull out the gun, you are suddenly in charge of everyone you are the authority. people have to listen to you or face consequences.
Anno
Going up to the bank teller waving a firearm doesn't really sound fun to me. Something like an action-movie style safe-cracking robbery operation might be exciting and fun but that sort of thing is kind of fantasy-y these days really.
>>443665 >one asshole in your friend group insists on doing the same bank a thousand times

>>443665 The Payday missions I've seen people do still always seem to have a gunfight component involved with getting to the safe in the first place anyway. The moment a gunfight is an essential part of cracking a safe, I'm out.
If you ever do armed robbery, you should put up like, printouts of the wikipedia article on Stalin and Lenin and the bois robbing banks So left twitter can have a laugh
Armed robbery really isn't my kind of gig, though. I doubt I'd ever do it unless I were in super bad circumstances, and even then, I have a rich girlfriend.

There are places where people have squatted in a factory that was closed and they got it going again and secured resources and ran the factory by themselves. That's technically a crime, but it's good.
The famous face /// case of the Zanon ceramics factory in Argentina would probably interest you. After it was shut down, the workers took control of it and managed to get things rolling again. Eventually, they were able to cut the prices by like 60% and still pay all the workers well, and even hired doctors and psychologists to come take part in the operations.
that sounds fun. electricity is not hard to manufacture i bet we could do that maybe not at the scale of a huge factory but like maybe a small crayon factory or something
>>443726 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FaSinPat >FaSinPat, formerly known as Zanon, is a worker-controlled ceramic tile factory in the southern Argentine province of Neuquén, and one of the most prominent in the recovered factory movement of Argentina. The name is short for Fábrica Sin Patrones, which means "Factory Without Bosses" in Spanish.
>>443729 i highly doubt left twitter could possibly go and reclaim a factory with enough efficiency to get it running while resisting police evictions for any substantial period of time these recovered factories work because they're reclaimed by the former workers the people already have a community and strong bonds which are important
Besides would they be able to keep it running? small time business are much easier in places like argentina, compared to USA and such, where they are actively fucked over
not exactly legal, but it is tolerated to some degree it's built in an abandoned military area, squatting and stuff the people in christiana do a lot of community improvement that the government doesn't want to do such as building libraries

Clearly Even christiania I've only heard about from people I work with or went to school with Never seen it in the news No squatting at all actually
I wonder why that's something they don't talk much about, it seems like something they'd mention a lot Maybe it's the fact that authorities aren't maintaining order?
It's all around a rather boring revelation, really. A good thing, yeah, but it's not really worth writing an article about by itself.
>>443762 Taking the belief that news is about building emotions in readers out of the equation for a moment, the story is really just not particularly impactful for pretty much any reader base for most news consumers. The subsection of that base that would actually be interested in reading about one case story like that is drastically small.
>>443764 seemingly I dunno I think I'd have been interested before even But then, I'm one person, and not average
Anno
I mean, you could definitely spin the story as an emotionally-fueled story of overcoming hardsip and -hardship and building out a niche for them to live happily in, and people would probably eat that up. But ideally the news should be about delivering the information of a situation without editing from the news provider, and the situation of "LOCAL MAN LIVES A SATISFIED LIFE" doesn't exactly get people invested.
I've reached the point in my spiral into madness where I no longer feel safe without a weapon on me anywhere, and I can't bring a knife into a therapy room I can fight with my hands since I've done martial arts and fought before, but adding the ability to fight with a staff would make me feel safer

here you can grow hemp all you want, but you can't allow it to go into the drug levels dunno how enforced it is, though

People have been breeding and evolving strains for better highs after all. The strains that they grow hemp out of are likely evolved for more durable fibers.

EU directive from 2000 dictates, that hemp can't contain more than 0,2% of THC or it will be considered a drug,and won't receive for example agricultural subsidiaries from the Union, and can be enforced by the local legislation as they deal with people growing their own cannabis for recreational use.

when is kabaneri 2 anyway i want to get back on the wild undead ride
Anno
Next season or the one after. I think, at least. I remember reading their release schedule for upcoming shows a while back and they were crazy packed, like straight from Shingeki season two into a two-cour of Mahoutsukai, into either Shingeki season three or Kabaneri and then finishing off with whatever of those two they didn't do before. With no empty seasons inbetween. That's a pretty hefty workload.
all of their shows seem to sell pretty well though don't they? so they've got motivation! i dunno how mahoutsukai is doing actually i wonder if it's selling i really like that show
can't wait to see more Ikoma BLT/STR Stake Driver build though
Anno
I haven't seen it at the top of the pre-order charts, I believe, so it's probably not selling amazingly. But the manga's pretty well-entrenched in success so the anime doing well is less important. WIT also gets really lucky with getting to adapt series that are explosively popular, like Shingeki. I think it was their first major production or something too. Owari was also super popular when they were doing the adaptation too.
Their original stuff, like The Rolling Girls and Kabaneri, did poorly and good, respectively, if I remember correctly. The Rolling Girls might've even "flopped" by sales numbers, even if it was a literal gem of a piece. But Kabaneri was the right mixture of big names and weird as hell story to do pretty well.
Also it looks like they're the ones adapting Koi wa Ameagari this season too, so their workload is crazy heavy.
Hrrm I think I heard it, but there are similar noises that you can make with a drum without editing the recording. Like it didn't have the right "whoosh" to it. But maybe its harder to tell since its not isolated.

There was a point in time where I would play it when I was really depressed. Because I couldn't just fall asleep, but laying down and doing nothing felt terrible because I was alone with my thoughts.
Anno
i know that kind of feeling but not with OJ
FormerRei@mobile
I just did it to distract myself. I stopped enjoying it pretty quickly.
>>444115 distracting myself with video games is my best counter to depression until i stop playing and realized i just spent 8 hours of my life honing a worthless skill again
>>444149 bang would you get along with this person
(b)//a.i.ngel
i probably share a lot of raw core ideas but hate almost everything about who they are and how they live
(b)//a.i.ngel
my political views are seriously complicated though i tend to form judgements and valuations based solely on my own interpretation of data, morality, and fairness, and don't really like to subscribe to any form of groupthink i'm always as suspicious of people supposedly on my side as i am of those on the other side and i'm very capable of empathy for both sides of a problem so it ends up being some mishmashed hodgepodge of political opinions that can vary slightly from week to week
>>444165 yeah i know, i know it's okay you don't have to
(b)//a.i.ngel
you might like this one though https://open.spotify.com/track/7zeWkepwJtHs5vZocQ2Vlc
Kirara 🚗
yeah this is cool
Anno
i haven't used spotify in a long time
Marsh-chan
neither some people swear by it though I have a mate who even pays for the premium account thing
Anno
by long time i mean i haven't used it since i was like 15 they sent me a code in email to download the beta or something and i thought it was kind of cool and then forgot about it a week later

My pathetic capped mobile data can't handle streaming music
Anno
>>444171 one of my coworkers is subbed to spotify and google play i'm not sure why he has both >>444173 my mobile plan has like 500mb a month of data then it slows down to a fucking crawl i used to just lose data entirely after hitting the cap though so it's a minor improvement my home internet is pretty good though
>>444174 I have like 3 gigs but if I waste it on music I can't watch porn while I'm waiting at the bus stop.
Anno
>>444177 might as well not even live if you can't nut on the homeless guy passed out on the commute to work
(b)//a.i.ngel
i couldn't live without spotify god how the fuck would i be buying albums and ripping them? i mean there's other streaming services too, but spotify is literally the only option for the way i listen to music i remember the torrenting days that shit was whack i hated it so much spotify is probably one of the things in the world i'd consider more important than things people might consider basic needs
But when my own harddrive fails that's on me It's better than being betrayed by some ephemerial force beyond my control.
Like the equivalent of crashing my own car instead of waiting for one of the self-driving ones
Anno
i don't see how waking up one day and discovering that all of your files and operating system are just fucking gone is any less ephemeral than anything the cloud can do
>>444224 maybe they do feel like liars but don't care for some reason
Anno
i wish i could set my little space heater thing to turn itself off and on every 15 minutes it only needs to be like 15 degrees warmer in here but the minimum setting does like 25-30
This is a good team I need to give Myrrh Light Breath++ So I can run Hinoka, Myrrh, Fjorm, Eirika as a team.
Anno
apparently you can have an extra palico and a tailraider monster in your party in a solo expedition this is kind of cool i have 3 npc players it's almost like i actually have friends
>>444238 yeah i haven't spent a lot of time in expeditions this might be the first time i've been in one by myself in like 280 hours of playtime barring the couple times you are forced to go in one for story purposes
ah fuck i used the ropelift and the shamos tailraider got trapped on the other side i forgot dinosaurs don't know how to zipline
Anno
i think i found the best place to farm those sushifish though coral highlands zone 11 right underneath the waterfall that leads to the tailraiders there the piscine researcher is here sometimes too
Anno
with the hunting horn/wide range/recovery up support build i have the sushifish scale heals everyone in the party for like 90HP instantly
Kirara 🚗
wide range with mushroom skills is good as hell
Anno
i haven't tried mushroommancer with it i wonder if i can build or gem it in
Anno
ohh the gem is only level 1 >S-tier gem haha fuck that
Anno
out of like 60 tempered hunts i have gotten 3 S-tier gems almost all of those hunts being tier-2 monsters for their rare gems decorations in this game are fucking gay
Anno
oh and only one of them is useful but it's really good, i got Artillery and critical draw/spread shot which are both too situational for me to use
>>444258 the one in the ghetto here is haunted by a really nice friendly guy at night he always hooks me up with the small size drinks doesn't put in any ice so i get like 24z of soda for a buck
i aint makin any guarantees but i might have an apartment in the city this fall if you guys wanted to do japfest again we wouldnt have to do a hotel?? or try to do* again it's a long way off just sayin
>>444262 there's a chance it's really gonna come down to if my sister isn't a bitch for once and maybe she won't be now that she's divorced from that asshole maybe she never wanted to be one in the first place but who knows stayin hopeful though
free up some cashflow and responsibility on my side i'd love to have my own apartment in the city and i could have my jammy come and visit me every time he has a day off owo
Kirara 🚗
uwu
Anno
it's an hour and a half flight damn he can just come up after work every day and spend the night
krr did jammy show you his videos of the bon odori event we didn't get to see a lot of stuff but he got some fun footage of that granted just phone footage that would have been a pretty awesome spot for 360 though
Anno
oh yeah i think i uploaded that to youtube unlisted but i forget if i linked it here or not >>444270 it costs me as much to fly there as i make in one day so it evens out
>>444272 oh that's not very efficient then it would make more since if you split up your hours and got half of those hours at a place here in saint louis so you could fly, sleep, work the next day, then fly home that way you'll be spending half as much on travel
i find it funny that poor black people will waste [LEGAL CRED] breaking into homes to steal from people when they could just become a politician and steal for people with no legal ramifications
dude how would the automated ubers have any prevention against anyone just loading up a bomb on them and then leaving it
Kirara 🚗
oh holy shit you could put a bomb in and just call it to a location or something
Anno
>order uber >drives up >back seat is full of eels
Kirara 🚗
i wonder if they would be able to detect how many people are in the car and how well could i for example hide in the car and make it think im not there?
Anno
if i'm carrying a bag of rice does it think it's two people
Kirara 🚗
can i convince it that im a bag of rice? can i leave a dead body in it?
Kirara 🚗
if i piss in the car, who will know it was me?
Anno
they're probably tared to detect whether you've left shit behind but you could definitely leave a small bomb or an eel in there >>444287 i bet this will happen a lot, esp with drunks tryna get home and piss fetishists who want to pee their pants in public
Kirara 🚗
what if you fill the glove compartment with snakes?
Anno
they're both pockets so it should be fine pocket recognition is the pinnacle of artificial intelligence functionality
Kirara 🚗
i want to trap uber cars in circles and just leave them there idk maybe use white lines to make them drive off a cliff or something
Anno
>>444289 what if you just put a fucking boar's bloody heart in the glove compartment and leave it for the next lucky guy
Kirara 🚗
what if you put a coyote in the glove compartment
Anno
release 300 ladybugs inside of the car then send it somewhere
Anno
look at this ladybug ricky
Anno
that's not a ladybug
Kirara 🚗
breed mosquitoes in the trunk
Anno
bleed doritos in the chunk
Kirara 🚗
the lady Doritos so uber doesn't hear
Kirara 🚗
hide a walkie talky in it and talk to the passengers just start screaming or something
Anno
code inject the uber so it can only play the boys are back in town on repeat at max volume
Kirara 🚗
and you can't turn it off
Kirara 🚗
uber should hire us
Anno
>>444301 except in december where it only plays Jingle Phase
Anno
>>444300 >hey, check under the floorboard >I know you can hear me. >under the floor board, break it >stop fucking ignoring me
Anno
idk i'd be satisfied just stapling a bunch of futa hentai to the upholstery that's pranks enough for me
Kirara 🚗
nothing will ever be enough for me
Anno
nothing will ever be enough until i get killed for one of my pranks
Anno
and as i lay there in a pool of my own blood my last utterance will echo out >haha it was just a prank bro gottem...
I've gotten more followers from this suspension than I likely would have without it What is twitter, man
Kirara 🚗
>>444312 they did china already never been to greece yet although i still think it's disappointing considering they did rome and ptolomy egypt already so greece isn't that much new architecturally
>>444313 they just did ancient greece last they usually stay around certain time periods for a while err ancient Egypt last
the Egypt one takes place before the templars and assassin's existed and goes into the organizations that eventually become them it's pretty interesting
sk
huh I haven't played since the 4th, and didn't finish that one either
Anno
apparently you can use a DS4 on the PS4 as well as use it to control windows calculator at the same time
Kirara 🚗
syndicate in Victorian London was really good gameplay wise but the story was a little boring the characters were great origin in Egypt actually has deep combat, an interesting story, interesting characters, and a really beautiful and well developed setting definitely a great game the amount of cultural research gone into it shows
sk
Sophie's brother in Vanishing Line is pretty incredible Programming a super VR for his sister to be happy
>cruz's brother arrested for trespassing at school >roof's sister arrested for bringing weapons to school and saying she hopes kids walking out get shot especially the blacks
Yeah there are some months that have more, I remember looking through some stats But this still seems like a lot, maybe I'm just more aware of them now though
EVERYTHING bad in the world is actually john romero's fault
Anno
schools have had those kids that smear feces on walls or cum on people's lockers for as long as schools have been around are we blaming that on video games too
Right? This just feels like a generic nearly flavorless candy in my mouth now Maybe layering the dusting would be an idea, mix it in with whatever the rest of it is made of
>>444362 there's this candy that's like warheads but actually has more acid inside of the candy so it gives a nice sour kick when you pop it in your mouth and continues to be sour as you suck on it called atomic waste it's great stuff but i don't eat candy a lot
>>444365 Last I checked I'm pretty sure no I tend to be put off by cold veggies and I don't think you eat those hot Plus they evolve into pickles which are my worst enemy
Anyone who likes pickles is evil
sk
>>444364 We have something like that bonbons or whatever, they're good
I just bought one of these tiny buckets of brain blasterz at the gas station, and they're really not that great The other kind that's hot instead of sour is really good though
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Pickles are the cancer of food Anything they touch becomes horrible
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
It just spreads through proximity even The smell is even unbearable >>444370 NO
Anno
pickles are great even though i don't like vinegar much
