| I think that I was very good at organizing the material to make it easy to follow for a comprehensive understanding, but I was terrible at adapting to individual needs. |

Teachers are often required to "baby sit" students, which can lead to huge problems over control. For the students who are interested in the lessons, it is best to provide the information, but let the student learn it in their own way. |

| I have only taught a few times. The classes were very well received, but I don't think I'd have had enough time to prepare and recover if I tried to do it daily. Robert Persig often regurgitated before class. |

| It can take me a long time to understand some poetry, which I usually only encounter as song lyrics. When I try to write poetry, the usual search for the right word becomes so difficult that what works tends to dominate what I can say. I assume that the authors have the same problem to some extent, ... |

| the sudden withdrawal of seasonal prettiness and lightness is jarring to me. :o This time, I put my lights up and down, canny to not get cold now, but didn't get extravagant with the timer. I didn't even go for a walk to look at other lights and indulge in a bit of nostalgia for past Christmasses. ... |

Not to mention the human rights abuse and the creation of a prescedent that the state can confiscate your pr... |

| I distinguish two aspects in this climate change cult. One is scientism, that is the practice of citing science as an argument that legitimizes one's ideological beliefs. Nazism claimed anthropology and biology as scientific proof of their racial theory. Communism claimed the science of histiograph... |

I also question the extent at which we can meaningfully control the climate of the entire planet. I question the sanity of it all. This cult has even i... |

| One of the things I find humorous though is its usually the more fundamentalist conservative types who claim the world will end soon, and they often give a specific date. Yet when scientists get onboard and make predictions about our doom suddenly they resist and say that suddenly the world will be... |

| Years ago, I had an annual job, printing out a custom calendar on a scroll. My customer wanted Monday as the first day of the week, and she wanted it on a roll so that it could be wound up one week at a time, letting her enter appointments without flipping up to the next month. This year, I finally ... |

| [That therapist sounds like a bit of a moron. After the discovery of the Dunning-Kruger principle - that people who can't do their jobs can't tell they can't do them - John Cleese took an informal survey. Whenever he happened to meet someone he considered particularly competent, he would ask what p... |

| I'm not on the best terms with my mother anymore. She tells me I'm an ungrateful, disrespectful, needy, whiny so-and-so when my father tries to help and she wants me to do everything myself from now on. When we have dinner or when they call me for something, all they hear is a loud, disgusted sigh.... |

| @ Fenn. My neighbour says "measure twice, cuss once." I was once on a job to finish the odd jobs around a renovated house. Carpet had been installed, so the bottoms of doors needed to be trimmed. The new guy, wanting to impress, popped out some hinge pins, quickly set the door on a pair of... |

| ^^ The last time I was in Victoria, BC, there was a year-round Christmas decor store in the tourist area. I don't have any trouble with a new year in the sense of the number sequence being incremented - New Year's Day is only one day farther, as usual. I do feel dismay at how both myself, and the wo... |
