  • HIlarious. I think by him saying it, your brain atunes to the words.

  • If you could teach a college class, what would it be?

    Jump

  • Regular People History

    Most of taught history is about and from the perspective of politicians, nobles, inventors, explorers, athletes, scientists - in other words, the outliers. I'm fascinated by the historic lives of regular people, a topic that is hard to research as there is little information about them.

  • What's something that is more difficult than it seems?

    Jump

  • Teaching (elementary school). It's my third career and definitely the hardest of the three.

    Christians of Lemmy, how do you feel about the U.S. president posting an Al photo of him as Christ?

    Jump

  • Are you asking Christians - followers of the teachings of Christ, or Christians - those who claim the name? The teachings of Christ call for individuals to be humble, peaceful, loving, accepting, selfless, love their enemies, forgiving, non-judgmental, and joyful. As someone who tries to follow Jesus' teachings, I feel sorry for him. He seems to be a very troubled man.

  • Do people get progressively less happy as they age?

    Jump

  • I'm in my 70's. I feel I've been getting happier over time. Kids grow up and leave, Work becomes stable. Finances become more stable. When you retire, it's like a whole new life (as long as you plan it correctly).

  • In the car. They don't steal my information. There are no pop-ups. There is no subscription. Yes, I have to listen to ads, but I they have to pay their workers somehow. Often its public radio which has no ads and some good programs.

  • What's the cheapest you can afford buying (or already bought) that you consider as luxury?

    Jump

  • Potable water coming from a tap inside my home.

  • Which one is more annoying: leftover bread or leftover cheese?

    Jump

  • How can leftovers be annoying? They're food and you have them in case you get hungry.

  • Despite all the AI nonsense happening right now, I have a simple question. Do you feel valued? From one human to another.

    Jump

  • For sure. Mostly from friends and family, but also in the things I do and the projects I accomplish. It's a wonderful life.

  • TIL Antarctica has its own accent.

    Jump

  • Yeah, I thought of putting their video up but there seems to be a bit of an anti-video group here.

  • There's no secret formula but patience, empathy, consistency in discipline, fairness, love, being available, and participation in their lives are a good start.
