Is this actually accurate? If so, can it please gain traction and attention? We can’t allow these creeps to play games anymore. It’s time to stop letting everything slide.

This actually kind of sucks because then if/when the votes don’t look close to how they expect according to polls they automatically assume something fishy happened.

And yes, I realize many will think that regardless.

Sounds like a fun way to interact with the kids. They must love you coming to the games.

Hey sorry, I really wasn’t looking for a long argument here, just wanted to clarify my earlier comment.

But yes, we have different viewpoints. I have kids. I would feel responsible for the window because it’s my kid and that’s reasonable and what society expects. If my kid wanted to talk to their teacher about something in private I’m ok with that.

They obviously won’t share literally everything, but if my kids have a problem trusting me then I’m failing as a parent.

Perhaps therapist was the wrong word. Many schools have health officers who act as emotional support staff that work with students.

I believe all educators have a duty to the well-being of the student ovet the parents. Students are people too, not a thing that parents own until they turn 18. They should be afforded confidentiality too.

Parents should be aware of what is going on in their kids’ lives.

This means being a parent and actively being involved in their life. It does not mean abusing the trust that kids give to teachers, councilors, therapists and other adults they might confide in.

If there exists an ideal food, perfect beyond measure, this would be it.

“Let us prey together”

That would be a cat burglar.

Learning everything the hard way has made me a natural consultant and mentor. Because I’ve already explored all the wrong paths, I often know someone is stuck before they do, understand what threw them off course, and show them how to get back on track

This really hits home and is something I simply don’t see often in juniors today - a desire to tinker, experiment or ‘play’ to figure out how a problem might be solved. I’m always telling them to allow themselves to struggle for at least an hour or two before asking for help.

Personally, I think the phrase ‘colored people’ sounds negative and offensive today. I have to assume this wasn’t always the case since it makes up 40% of the NAACP’s name.

Edited to add - I should have said ‘potentially offensive’. I do feel like the context in how it was used matters in this case. Our perception of things sometimes changes over time. If we have truely decided as a society to avoid the phrase entirely, then perhaps it’s time to rename the NAACP?

This is a nice quick read with some practical advice learned through read world experience. Thanks for sharing.

I deleted the app and reinstalled. ‘Delete account’ is confusing - am I deleting it from the app or from the server entirely? I feel there is could be a better word to describe removing the account from just the app.

Imagine depending on your creditor, who also happens to be your employer, for the very oxygen you breathe. This would be like a company town x1000.

I generally use ‘count’ for a counter and ‘idx’ for index.

I’m not using C or Java languages though - if I were I would probably go with the more classic terse approach.

Also, if I’m reviewing a PR and I have to load more of the diff context to understand what a variable represents, then that variable has the wrong name.

I’m honestly prefer short but (usually) complete words. Somewhere along the line I realized that being explicit really helps when you need to change it later.
