It might be silly, but I love this picture.every time I see it.

I really want to know the background on it. Where and when was it? Who was playing? Did she intentionally kick him? Did she know him? Does she still? Was the picture a happy accident or did they know it was coming?

The world needs to know the answers to these pressing questions.

Sounds like a fun way to interact with the kids. They must love you coming to the games.

Eh, people mess up sometimes. If the apology seemed sincere and you actually want the job, I would give them another chance. If not, don’t.

Hey sorry, I really wasn’t looking for a long argument here, just wanted to clarify my earlier comment.

But yes, we have different viewpoints. I have kids. I would feel responsible for the window because it’s my kid and that’s reasonable and what society expects. If my kid wanted to talk to their teacher about something in private I’m ok with that.

They obviously won’t share literally everything, but if my kids have a problem trusting me then I’m failing as a parent.

Perhaps therapist was the wrong word. Many schools have health officers who act as emotional support staff that work with students.

I believe all educators have a duty to the well-being of the student ovet the parents. Students are people too, not a thing that parents own until they turn 18. They should be afforded confidentiality too.

Parents should be aware of what is going on in their kids’ lives.

This means being a parent and actively being involved in their life. It does not mean abusing the trust that kids give to teachers, councilors, therapists and other adults they might confide in.

“Let us prey together”

That would be a cat burglar.

Learning everything the hard way has made me a natural consultant and mentor. Because I’ve already explored all the wrong paths, I often know someone is stuck before they do, understand what threw them off course, and show them how to get back on track

This really hits home and is something I simply don’t see often in juniors today - a desire to tinker, experiment or ‘play’ to figure out how a problem might be solved. I’m always telling them to allow themselves to struggle for at least an hour or two before asking for help.

This is a nice quick read with some practical advice learned through read world experience. Thanks for sharing.

I deleted the app and reinstalled. ‘Delete account’ is confusing - am I deleting it from the app or from the server entirely? I feel there is could be a better word to describe removing the account from just the app.

I generally use ‘count’ for a counter and ‘idx’ for index.

I’m not using C or Java languages though - if I were I would probably go with the more classic terse approach.

Also, if I’m reviewing a PR and I have to load more of the diff context to understand what a variable represents, then that variable has the wrong name.

I’m honestly prefer short but (usually) complete words. Somewhere along the line I realized that being explicit really helps when you need to change it later.

Oooh, this is totally me!

Whine, scream and chug makes me think you want something a bit more on the hard rock and metal side? Have you checked out anything in the Epiphone Prophecy series? Or even any of their solid bodies?
