It's true, I'll only vote for a primary candidate who brings this up with a serious plan of action.

But I'd like to go much farther left than Harris. We need systemic reform or we'll never recover from this last (four and a half!) decade(s) of ruinous policy.

I like that your daily games lately have been (very random) nostalgia, haha. That said, I say this as I boot up yet another underrated Wii game nobody heard of but is weirdly good (Arc Rise Fantasia).

Spread the retro joy!

Ah yes, my very real human ability of scanning QR codes. Truly an inherent characteristic of humanity.

Oh yeah... I forgot about that quote because of how stupid it was...

Me too, except I think I want the adult version involving achievements and points. Maybe seasons, so the achievements renew every few months but with different flavors.

I mean, they're trying to make a joke but it kinda works better with, idk, Voyager or something (well, maybe gay or black comment but certainly more diverse and highlighting stuff like cultural diversity).

That said, I've seen this exact joke about wokeness already but with TOS, so eh.

I bet it's not even officially licensed, smh

Actually, there are ways to prepare it so it's a tasty addition, like in a soup. As a salad it's awful, though.

I feel that one in my soul, as a fellow part time academic with good teaching evals. Our hiring system sucks and people less qualified get in for no good reason, typically.

My cope is knowing I still would be devaluing my time with that role and that my free time not having to do a full course load (+ attend faculty meetings, advise students, etc) is still valuable, to my family and to myself. I'm still bitter about the jobs I don't get, but my partner got promoted in large part because I could support them so I guess that's the way things panned out.

I learned to rest my hand on my chin so I make the thinking face. Resting thinky face.

+1 in KDE, with a customized menu icon no less.

Sure as hell ain't my students; it's been a steady decline since ChatGPT came out and I think I may have failed more students than ever over unfinished projects. You can't GPT the semester long project, there's a paper trail and data to collect can it becomes super clear who is AI brained now...

Edit: PS, grade inflation has been a thing for a few decades now, btw; the As aren't the problem so much as the mush brain.
