I heard re-orienting after retirement isn’t always easy.
Way way harder than I thought. A month in I felt guilty about feeling weird. I mean, hey, I get a pension for rest of my life. I'm still young (early 50's), fit and healthy. This should be awesome! I can shitpost on Lemmy all day!
But ugh, I miss the kids, co-workers, etc. I have an active social life, but it's not the same as having good solid co-workers going thru the trenches with ya. I have my own business now, so that's relieved some of the weirdness of not working, so we'll see.
I would never in a million years thought being retired would feel weird. But yep, it's strange till ya find your footing.
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 removed 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.
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.
I don't have an answer, but wanted to let you know I noticed the same thing.
But having seen real antisemitism myself, this all makes me very nervous.
I feel the same! I've seen it in person (my gf is jewish), and I've seen some pretty scary posts on Lemmy lately. There are a whole lot of innocent victims on both sides of all this simply because people forget that governments suck, not necessarily all the people. Governments pretty much suck everywhere.
You can. This community is on a good instance.
PTB. Like always for .world lol
some accounts that do nothing but down vote. No comments, no posts, just down votes
I'm noticing a lot of those too!
@Xtl@sopuli.xyz was banned, just like before, for Downvote Trolling.
Not to defend the PTB mod, but Xtl is absolutely a downvote troll. And has been banned from other communities for it as well.
PTB for sure. I've had my own bad experiences with them, so I feel ya, OP. The admins/mods there to do not represent the same thing that their namesake does.
Go the Ro Laren route, and totally abandon Starfleet! (not counting her latest development tho--no spoilers)
Can't you just create your own new Star Trek community on your new instance?
And all this is why this is the best instance on Lemmy!
This is awesome! thank you!
CLM - Clueless Mod. He had no idea what you actually meant.
If you don’t like how the ship is directed you can always change ship and sail the same ocean.
Great analogy for the fediverse! People used to give me grief for being on more than one instance, but I had to jump around a bit before I found the places and m@tes that fit my ideals.
