Don’t take low ball offers personally. There are serious bids that deserve conversation and then those that don’t. Move on.
But if you keep getting nothing, maybe you’re the issue.

Start singing it with them. Do it sincerely. You’ll either kill their joy or you two will have a moment.
your argument doesn’t really disprove the topic of this discussion.
I don’t know if Stockholm Syndrome exists for hostages held at gunpoint.
Stockholm syndrome doesn’t require being held at gun point.
The real issue is people behaving irrationally according to you. If you were in this situation, you would done the rational thing. Therefore, they must be irrational. They are, I’m part, to blame for their situation.
But this is all predicted on your value system and not theirs. Stockholm syndrome doesn’t take into account their story and what convinced them to behave the way they did. It a heavy hand that decontextualizes events and removes victims agency. Accounting for these may still reveal something worth addressing for a smaller subset of victims who are trauma bonded, but it should patiently and diligently center and empower the voices of victims and not dismiss them as irrational
I think I used ratio sytax and did it a little differently (A:B vs A/(A+B)) So if someone ate 5 of the 8 pizza slices, it was expected to be expressed as 5/8. What I did was express it as 5:3, 5 eaten and 3 uneaten.
For as salient as this memory was, she was an otherwise sweet and wonderful teacher. I still remember her fondly despite my genuine dismay at trying and getting a red marked sheet back.
Man… This sucks. I can’t believe how many lemmings have had similar experiences. I’m just remembering one now where I was excited about math, went ahead in the curriculum to fractions, and answered everything in ratios. Instead of the teacher seeing the simple mistake, I just remember them being “wrong”. How deflating.
Kids need connection before correction. I’m sort of glad my kid is glued to a screen doing adaptive math. It sucks in its own way, but better than unfeeling correction. Though, at least in my district, there’s a big emphasis on empathy development so I think the teachers try to model that.
That’s how it was designed. That’s how everyone uses it.
Puck from Gargoyles decided to mimic the most serious person he could find and serve a billionaire. All because he thought it would be hilarious. This is chaotic neutral. This continues to blow my mind.
I think it’s a testament to on the nose satire and hitting at the heart of people’s anxieties about work.
Listen up! AI’s gonna be a game changer. If you don’t master passive prompting kids your vending machines good bye. Buy my book, “Passive Prompting”!
Everyone. Calm down… This is a joke account.
Here another one of his posts.
Why is this on shitpost? Dude’s got a mega thread with references and receipts.
There was a clickbait NY Post article that I’d never link to, this article (archive) is more even handed.
Requiem for a Dying Planet was the sound scape for Werner Herzog’s Wild Blue Yonder. A brilliant film backed by this album, I feel that the album stands on its own.
This recording brings together three very disparate elements into a synergistic whole. They are Ernst Reijseger’s cello, the choral singing of the Sardinian group Tenore e Cuncordu de Orosei and the soaring vocals of Senegalese singer Mola Sylla. Each is a singular expression of music from widely differing traditions; together, they’re indescribable.
Requiem For a Dying Planet is not the anticipated death song for the earth, this music is dedicated to this wonderful planet and the beauty of living which could be heavenly if religions would not exist.”
Man… This one has lived rent free in my mind for almost thirty years. I had to read this and other German tales in German class.
I am so in love with Notesnook. It’s been about a week and I fell hard. Great UI. Encrypted. Cross platform. Loads quickly. I wish markdown was native and not a shortcut though.
I know a northerner who is virulently an anti-monarchist. His whole family is.
Unschooling and by extension, the democratically run Free Schools come to mind.
What a fucking prick. They didn’t even say they were sorry to hear you lost your job. They just want you dead.
