HopingForBetter

Echoing what others have said:

For yourself: Do what you want to do.

Wanna write? Write, read, play with Chat-GPT, do what it is you’re wanting to do.

Wanna music? Play, compose, play with Musecore (it’s free), listen, go to concerts, do what it is you’re wanting to do.

Wanna art? Draw, sculpt, craft, go to museums, google art (it’s free), do what it is you’re wanting to do.

For others: Show them how much you enjoy it. Discuss the small, simple parts, if it gets too complicated, step back and focus on the small parts that makeup the whole. If it’s not interesting, only the one’s who want to will learn.

Here’s what not to do:

Don’t try to learn it all and become an expert in 5 minutes. I wanted to learn programming, and tried the free developer stuff online, but gave up because it’s boring. Later, I came back to the stuff I enjoyed about programming and enjoy it.

Don’t try to lie to your students about how much you know. They can tell, and you will feel fake. The wonder of, “I don’t know the answer, let’s find out together.” and “Here’s the answer, and that’s how it fits with this. Isn’t that crazy!!!” is so engaging and not only increases student engagement, but also your knowledge and gives you a fun teaching story about how you found out.

Whatever the goal, if you don’t have a reason to keep learning, you will stop.

Enjoy the journey!

They already do, except for the “in-title” part, because the money used to keep them afloat is government money, which means it’s taxpayer money, which means taxpayers actually own them, except for the “in-title” part.

Newer windows machines won’t even let you install non-microsoft-store programs without checking a one-time-no-way-back-box of liability. So much for being an end-user…
Edit: And without a tertiary google search, the dialogue window language is designed to make users think “other” programs are not compatible.

This, right here.

The human world is dying, and I’m supposed to just piddle around and not shout that it’s shit!?
I sell plasma to pay bills, after working a full-time salary job.
So, unless you have an answer, how about YOU be quiet.

Nah, we swing hard the other way: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 666

Don’t forget the urine.

Buh-bye, Rhonda Sand-Tits!

What’s your point? The laws suck ass, don’t align with the purported intentions of the religion backing said laws and legislators, and in fact, according to the religion the people inacting the laws are on their way to hell. So, are you also having a nice try? Caring for people is definitely not something to outlaw, and those that do are always on the wrong side of history; no debate.

I mean, I kind of agree here.

I’d go full chaotic lawful if you’re mentality is “not a calling”.

Follow the rules and directives as given.

It also sounds like you are on the way out of nursing. If you’re not passionate about it, the job will eat you alive without a second thought and you’re going to start seeing more and more things that irk you until you leave.

I’m also in the process of switching out of a “selfless calling” to what I hope is a fulfilling career.

Good luck with your next steps, whatever they may be.

I like how you write, PhlubbaDubba.

Money-based penalties only keep poor people from stepping out of line; if you’re rich enough, you can literally pay for what you did and move on.

“The incident happened in the city’s Carondelet neighborhood around 12:30 a.m. today, when a police SUV traveling northbound on South Broadway swerved across multiple lanes of traffic and into Bar:PM just as the LGTBQ bar was closing up.”

Stonewall wasn’t that long ago, was it?
