      Too Old For This

      @tinuviel I have no idea, but either way, the lack of communication is ridiculous. If there are rules that they need to follow and the schedule I've given them doesn't fit within it, someone needs to say something so I can try to work out a compromise. I can't work something out when they won't communicate with me.

      @ganymede said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

      A friend of mine posed the following retort:

      The true metric is not with the person who used the cart, but the person who sees the cart in the parking lot. Who left the cart there? Why did they not return it? These are pointless questions: the real question is whether you will return it for them.

      That sounds an awful lot like taking responsibility for being the change you want to see in the world.

      And that sounds an awful lot like work. Work I'm not being paid for, but doing for the betterment of my community.

      And that sounds an awful lot like SOCIALISM!

      Queen's Gambit got me into chess.

      Also, it's a good show and Anya Taylor-Joy is excellent.

      Crowbcat came out of YT slumber to make a Cyberpunk video. It's excellent and also incredibly damning.

      So I've been in a drug study for a medication for fatty liver disease (https://www.biospace.com/article/releases/terns-pharmaceuticals-announces-safety-and-pharmacodynamic-results-of-a-phase-1-clinical-trial-of-tern-101-a-liver-selective-fxr-agonist-in-development-for-the-treatment-of-nash/).

      I must be on the medication itself. My liver enzymes were actually almost too high to qualify at the start of the study, but I got accepted in.

      The nurse that I see for it told me yesterday that as of my bloodwork two weeks ago, my liver enzymes are normal. So I must be on the actual medication and it is working. Without any side effects (for me at least but overall the drug has limited side effects from what I read in the initial paperwork).

      This is super good news, esp for someone who has other complications that lead to struggling with weight-loss (hypothyroid and pcos).

      Cosmos (2019) was actually really good. At parts it touches on campy and the music is a bit much. But then again, the only part they spent money on was the score, so they got what they paid for too.

      This movie really shows a good use of the language of film. The score is a good bed of sound (Altman) despite at parts being bit overly dramatic. Otherwise, they are really good with elements. Good use of Chekhov's gun and no big MacGuffins that seem out of place. So simple and good awareness of the science (mostly, it falls apart a little but the film language is balanced); the guys had some experience I believe with documentaries in the realm of radio astronomy (them or a parent maybe).

      I'm in a phase of everything I see look like a bad rehash in various genre without contributing much new. This was a good one for me to see during this phase.

      Hey.

      I don't know if this got lost in the shuffle (shuffle, noise, vitriol), but I never minded the idea of anyone saying, "Hey, this thing is awesome and we want to feature it." I think it's a great community-building idea, and I hope you keep doing it. Even if people disagree, they will know what you think is good.

      The big explosion over ideas was because of the prerequisites.

      That is all.

      @mietze said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:

      My youngest child came home with a pilgrims and Indians themes project in kindergarten this year school year in WA state. Which was horrifying to me on many levels.

      Public school instruction in the US is extremely fractured, not only state by state but district by district and school by school. (My older kids' elementary school would have NEVER done that, and also at the time was the main site for a native american students and families group for the district, and those parents very generously shared resources with the teachers, students, and other families about PacNW history and current culture!!)

      There is such a strange deviation in how we teach people on a state-by-state basis. I spent my pre-teen through high school period on Maui, wherein we did explicitly discuss American colonialism and the annexation's effects on the modern day. That said, we absolutely did not discuss anything in lengthy detail that solely affected the mainland. This made it surprisingly frank, like in US history the teacher said "The Civil War was about slavery," and that was that. When I was in early elementary school, I lived in Georgia in which the textbook used was like "here are the reasons why states' rights are important..." so you can imagine how much unlearning happened in middle & high school there.

      I'm just sad, angry, depressed, incredulous at how fucking selfish people are.

      I've been feeling this for a while. Its something I've resigned myself to learning how to deal with on a daily basis. Both at my work and in everyday life.

      The apology thread has a 50% chance of just turning into a shooting gallery for bitter cunts.

      Right. I skimmed that and honestly didn't think of Hunter or Mummy. :/ Sorry for forgetting someone's favorite game lines.

      I only know because it was pointed out on the onyx path forum, honestly.
