@jezlyn I have had conversations with some eloquent students about their use of em-dashes in AI scanning software for assignments. "Ms, I will never give up my em-dashes."

I am an excellent writer with an MA in English Lit, but in the last six months have been repeatedly accused of using AI to produce my work. I am now deliberately sabotaging my own copy so it seems more plausible that I wrote it. I hate living in this timeline.

I'm currently on long term sick leave. My day is now based around my gym classes and coffee with my middle-aged female friends. I'm one of the girls and living my absolute best life. I'm a man in my fifties

@yourfutureex Def wasn't rhetorical. Genuinely want to know. Thank you for your insight. I am a teacher in the international system so 1-2 year contracts at a time. Lots of schools want teachers for more than a contract but then do little to keep good teachers. I put in notice, was told I am hard to replace and would I consider staying. Asked for a small pay rise... Nope. Honestly, the extra cash would have kept me.

Do any industries/jobs actually exist where true hard work and competence earns you a pay rise? Or if you said you were going to quit to a higher paying job, you would be offered more money to stay?

@MFDOOMALLCAPS I remember when this was "going to be the last one."

@vga256 Teacher here. "Make me 1 slide to tell me about yourself" is a go-to start of the year activity. This year, yr7 (age 11), every slide looked like this....

@fesshole I planned a whole trip, called it Pie Quest, where the usual 6hr road trip was broken into 2 days. Each day had 4 pie stops. Made score cards and everything. Just 6, 30-something aged ladies in a van to find the best Australian style meat pie (there is a difference!) along 700-ish kilometers of road.

@garyackerman Oh my gosh... Same as me, but I am a teacher trying help other teachers use the tools

Movie choice, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Watched Scream 7. Return to a better story and genuine jump scares. 7/10. Franchise order from best to worst 1,2,4,3,7,5,6

@fesshole I loved when my mate who worked at Macca's would give me a family meal of food instead of just a burger meal and then when I paid I got all my money back as change... the sweet life.

@fesshole Had to read all the comments to also understand you. But then I am a lady who would just say, "wanna fool around?"..

@MFDOOMALLCAPS I just finished all Scream films. Started Nightmare on Elm St. I have not seen any of these. Maybe my next franchise

@troed @fesshole My niece is the result of a reversed vasectomy...
