What's the next best game to come out?
That's where I'm at. I got all the current pop libraries, and my whole other entire collection. but should I get this or wait for a different game coming out that I'm forgetting or should I just straight up wait for a sale either way.

As in the one who ran the whole store? That's actually pretty good.

TC asked if it would be a turn off and I'm just explaining why it would be for me. It's not a flat out deal breaker, but I feel it's important to have a partner that has similar levels of drive and ambition in their career. Her being content there is a mismatch with me. Money troubles are the second leading cause of divorce, after all.
Sure, I dig it.

Did you notice how famous actors used to be loved and almost worshipped like gods during the early 2000s and before that? Now just about everyone hates them and views them as pathetic clowns, and they get relentlessly mocked every time they make a statement about news or controversial things. So what happened? They are seen on the same level as children now.

The late Patrice O'Neil once said that Twitter ruined the idea that celebrities are better than you. I guess it's hard to have the same respect you had for an actor you've loved your whole life because you can now see them spell the word "you" as "u" in a tweet.
Interesting take.

I tried it on Xbox for a month on the $1 gamepass bit.

It's really incredible. The mapping is incredible. The detail is incredible.

I can't speak for the accuracy of the flight controls, but there sure are buttloads of buttons in the cockpit and they all do something.

Having said that, it is a niche.
Ehhh, I might have to wait for a sale then.

Well I'm probably biased because of my ex. My ex worked at McDonald's for 11 years and, as a shift manager (not department manager), she barely made more than minimum wage. Her days off were always changing, she rarely got weekends off and she only got 2 sick days per year. She hated it and constantly complained about it, but she didn't apply for other jobs because she felt like she wouldn't be able to get a better job. So she was content with staying there.

So yeah, if I encountered that again, I'd be less than impressed.
But if you liked her who gaf?

I speak from the perspective of an educator. "You" is collective, representative of all stakeholders in that child's education, along with stakeholders in the success of a school.

Assessment, in whatever form it takes, is critical to educational goals, and comes in two varieties. Formative assessment is essentially asking the questions "What does this student know in this moment? What is their current progress towards the educational goals that were set? What evidence do I have of these things?" Formative assessment can be as simple as a participation grade, homework, exit tickets, or asking questions for the class to answer by raising their hands.

Summative assessment asks "To what degree has the student met the educational goals that were set now that we have reached the end of this block of learning?" Summative assessments include tests, quizzes, projects, essays, and presentations.

Now, tests are a perfectly valid assessment tool when correctly applied. From my perspective, there is a pushback against tests, especially high-stakes testing, because they are overrepresented in the kinds of assessments used by teachers and institutions, coupled with the misuse of their purpose and results. A good teacher uses a variety of both formative and summative assessments to measure student learning and, more importantly, to inform future planning and instruction.
No one said you can't give a test. A LOT of people are saying it shouldn't be a high stakes test and linked to school performance and graduation requirements. Give a test every day, Mr. Smith, just don't make all of us suffer from it.

Low salaries for teachers are absolutely a large contributing factor to the difficulty in hiring and retaining quality teachers

and we want good public education as a society because it raises quality of life for everyone across the board

Former Texans player Chris Smith dies at 31

"Former NFL defensive lineman Chris Smith has died at31, his rep confirmed.
No cause of death or further details were shared Tuesday.

Smiths alma mater, West Rowan High School in North Carolina, shared a tribute announcing his death Monday on Twitter, writing: Rest In Peace to a West Rowan Legend!

Chris was a better person than he was player! The impact he had on those around him will be remembered forever! the statement said.

After high school, the Mount Ulla native played for University of Arkansas Razorbacks and was picked in the fifth round of the 2014 draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He went on to play a total of eight seasons in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders, and the Houston Texans in 2021. He signed with American minor league football team the XFLs Seattle Sea Dragons in March.

And if they didn't notice, our broke ass govt can't hardly pay for a decent education as it is. I'm just thinking to myself...where...?
