ehhh I would agree with this re: the internet fracturing our ability to pay attention to a single stream of information
I have certainly found it's the case with myself
I think that's certainly true, what's funny is that she apparently thinks there was ever a time in history that people did the readings for a required English class.

Class is way easier to pay attention to if it's interesting which y'know
Gen Ed English probably is not
My university had a required Writing 1 course.
The incoming freshmen were so bad at writing and so poor at following instructions that the professor had a minor breakdown in front of the entire class.
(I can't say I blame him. My classmates were pretty awful.)
This was in the late 90s. Couldn't really blame cell phones or the Internet then. Maybe the problem was cable TV and CD players.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Hey chat! Colorado was dope. Went for a monster hike the morning I left. Few years ago the altitude would have killed me. Kicked my butt a little bit yesterday but in a good way!
Your lungs will perform on par with those of an elite athlete! :surprised:

i remembered my anti-harassment training today and how a guy in our group kept interjecting, thought that being told "good morning" was harassment and that his boss was harassing him by telling him to come in on time.

No, that couldn't have been the reason, considering how good of a student I was versus how much I masturbated in college

jakobaggerLO THY DREAD EMPIRE CHAOS IS RESTOREDRegistered Userregular
after a long day of first 10 hours work and then Magic from 5 pm to about 23 pm I was too wired to go to bed and so I'm closing in on having been up for 24 hours after about 3 hours sleep
Katherine Hayles, an English professor at U.C.L.A., has written about the change she sees in students as one from “deep attention,” a state of single-minded absorption that can last for hours, to one of “hyper attention,” which jumps from target to target, preferring to skim the surface of lots of different things than to probe the depths of just one.
At Columbia University, where every student is required to pass a core curriculum with an average of 200 to 300 pages of reading each week, professors have been discussing how to deal with the conspicuous change in students’ ability to get through their assignments. The curriculum has more or less stayed in place, but “we’re constantly thinking about how we’re teaching when attention spans have changed since 50 years ago,” said Lisa Hollibaugh, a dean of academic planning at Columbia.
People aren't doing the reading for your required English class? I need to lie down to handle this disturbing news

I just watched that Giant Bomb look at the new WoW expansion and in it there's a guy who spends most of his time complaining about WoW.
One of his points he brings up is along the lines of "Yeah but you and the other guy I know that play WoW always have something on TV or your second monitor so clearly it's not that fun" and I had to chuckle.
Because it's like man do you know when the last time I didn't have something on my tv or my second monitor was? About 20 fuckin' years ago when I didn't have a second monitor or a tv near my PC.

If you think being told to do your job is harassment, maybe working isn't for you.

I don't have any ex's in Texas. because I've mostly been too emotionally fucked up to try.
I'm sort of thinking that's probably going to be changing soon.
I'm awesoming this because it sounds like there are positive improvements buried somewhere under this post >_>
ehh, I'm probably going to stop shtupping my fuck buddy hopefully managing to keep her as a snuggle partner, and start dating people who want to be in a relationship.

I learned my miserly ways re: using A/C in the summer or heat in the winter from my mother
Both for financial and environmental reasons, we're both reticent to turn either on until absolutely necessary, and will happily endure mild discomfort without complaint
But I was talking to my mom earlier about coming out and housesitting for her this weekend, and she says "To sweeten the deal, I'll even let you turn the A/C on!"
"Scandalous!", I replied
Gonna crank that shit down into the floor, [chat]
Between the A/C and running her laundry machines 24 hours a day, I'm going to be responsible for the bulk of her electricity bill for this month :P

Fuuuh... I got into my hotel room last night at 12:30am and it freaking reaked of mold. After an awful that was delayed 3 and a half hours, to go to my job's hq in nowhere PA, where it was going to be most if a week without any friends, after some kinda difficult emotional stuff (which I am hoping will actually have a positive resolution soonish).
that's wierdly the closest I've been to crying in a while(years). sort of my dad's house here and my workplace, pre-remodle, were both kinda constantly were moldy. Also, the shitty apartment in Austin I had for a while, when i was sort of miserable there. Bring back just bad emotions.
Got moved into my new room over lunch, and am hating life a whole bunch less
