Yes. 100% this. Our child’s school district does a 4 point rubric as well. It’s so much more meaningful and you can really do something about it if there’s a pattern in the wrong direction. I’m surprised no one else mentioned this.


Here’s a link to the paper. It has this amazing sentence in the conclusion: “As these generations age, the CRC burden in these cohorts will continue to swell like a tsunami moving through time”.


Loosely quoting IF Stone, If you can remember two words, governments lie. If you can remember three words, all governments lie.
Agreed. I think a lot of the people talking about how they are self taught are working in tech and software and they were hire twenty years ago or more. (Can’t wait till someone sounds off about how they got hired nine years ago).
Most other technical jobs are in far more mature fields. College may expose you to ideal situations that overconstrain your ability to get the job done in a corporate setting, but it still exposed you to a set of problems you don’t have access to otherwise. Mainly because these industries are in communication with the deans of these colleges and giving them feedback on what they need to see more of.


We’ve streaky… The rains finally came, but they were gone for so long that I was worrying a bit about fire seasons. Still am honestly.


Its raining in Oregon. We’ll see the sun in July… Hopefully.


I witnessed a right turn from the left lane in utah. Except the street was 4 lanes wide.


But I’m right and they are wrong on this particularly trivial topic. I need to feel like I did everything in my power to make sure they know how wrong they are.
I’ll also accept sarcasm.
“Unless you’ve successfully trained your car to follow you like a loyal golden retriever, you’re probably going to have to drive.”
Those gemini responses are legitimately hilarious.


Yeah! I saw another commenter say that. That’s awesome. Had no clue. Thanks!


There are web based torrent downloaders like WebTorrent. But you’ll probably need to sign up for audiobookbay or hope that some public service like The Pirate Bay has what you’re looking for.
Saw this a few days ago.

“Jason knew that this was beyond him. And some deep inside him rose. A deep knowing that he could take this the minataur. Sterlingly strong, the minataur stood with a knowing going in his eyes. This wasn’t his first rodeo. “Don’t fail me now” Jason thought as he gripped his staff ever tighter.”
“The minataur thrust himself at Jason. A tangled mess of limbs and horns, they jostled for position. Jason held the minataur’s head down by the horns. “I’ve got you now” as he moved to thrust his staff deep inside the … The world a twirl, Jason found himself on his back, lurching. Something gored him and the man-beast had struck the first blow. He had never felt anything like this before. The power. The grace. The yearning for release. He was no longer in control. When was the last time he wasn’t in control?”

This is a non-combatant NPC.
This is a human. This one is something called a Canadian. Part French. Part maple syrup. He’s weirdly obsessed with ice hockey and snowmobiles and semi-erotic lumberjack fan fiction. Has a well-worn Tim Hortons loyalty card in his Velcro wallet. He says “aboot” instead of “about” and gets really, really upset when you point it out, claiming you’re hearing things and that it’s a harmful stereotype. It’s not a stereotype, and that’s exactly how it sounds. He has a relative who was trampled to death by a moose. You get the idea.
Boobs that look like this…
