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.

Exactly. I know post is 5 months old, but someone just now sent me a link to this today! lol

[–] UniversalMonk 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That was a great quote! Second fav is "Like I say it blows my mind that he is still allowed on Lemmy!" As if Lemmy is controlled by one person. They are actual quotes that people said to about me by the way.

Hi guys! How did I miss this fun post?!

I'm not sure I'm the "main character of lemmy," but I'm def the main character in my own mind! And hero! I even made a song about the love affair between me and Lemmy on Peertube. Song: https://clip.place/w/5ahYEEQNzXdgg5qfscytT1

I see attribution to Marc Anthony

It was around long, long before Marc Anthony. Also, you are being way too cynical. It's really just saying that if ya can, you should try to make a living out of something you are passionate about.

Yes, there are people who love what they do for a living so much, that they never wanna quit doing it. I am one of them. I own my own company.

Think of musicians, or actors. Some of them legit love what they are doing and never wanna stop doing it. My grandfather owned an Antique store. His entire life was that store and even when he was in the hospital, he was trying to get back to his Antique shop ASAP. My father was same way. And it's probably why I own my own company.

Interesting little excerpt from The Cleveland Gazette, an African American newspaper dated November 27, 1886.

Shortly after the dedication of the Statue of Liberty, The Cleveland Gazette suggested that the statue's torch not be lit until the United States became a free nation "in reality":

"Liberty enlightening the world," indeed! The expression makes us sick. This government is a howling farce. It can not or rather does not protect its citizens within its own borders. Shove the Bartholdi statue, torch and all, into the ocean until the "liberty" of this country is such as to make it possible for an inoffensive and industrious colored man to earn a respectable living for himself and family, without being ku-kluxed, perhaps murdered, his daughter and wife outraged, and his property destroyed. The idea of the "liberty" of this country "enlightening the world," or even Patagonia, is ridiculous in the extreme.

Rudolf Rocker (1873 - 1958)

Tue Mar 25, 1873

Johann Rudolf Rocker, born on this day in 1873, was an anarchist theorist, historian, and activist, known for critical anarchist texts such as "Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice" (1938) and "Pioneers of American Freedom" (1949).

Though often described as an anarcho-syndicalist, Rocker was a self-professed anarchist without adjectives, believing that anarchist schools of thought represented "only different methods of economy" and that the first objective for anarchists was "to secure the personal and social freedom of men".

Rocker was involved in helping organize a number of labor strikes and represented the federation at the International Anarchist Congress in Amsterdam in 1907. Rocker was well-read in his lifetime - his readers included figures Thomas Mann, Albert Einstein, Herbert Read, and Bertrand Russell.

"Anarchism is no patent solution for all human problems, no Utopia of a perfect social order, as it has so often been called, since on principle it rejects all absolute schemes and concepts."

- Rudolf Rocker
