HopingForBetter

Echoing what others have said:

For yourself: Do what you want to do.

Wanna write? Write, read, play with Chat-GPT, do what it is you’re wanting to do.

Wanna music? Play, compose, play with Musecore (it’s free), listen, go to concerts, do what it is you’re wanting to do.

Wanna art? Draw, sculpt, craft, go to museums, google art (it’s free), do what it is you’re wanting to do.

For others: Show them how much you enjoy it. Discuss the small, simple parts, if it gets too complicated, step back and focus on the small parts that makeup the whole. If it’s not interesting, only the one’s who want to will learn.

Here’s what not to do:

Don’t try to learn it all and become an expert in 5 minutes. I wanted to learn programming, and tried the free developer stuff online, but gave up because it’s boring. Later, I came back to the stuff I enjoyed about programming and enjoy it.

Don’t try to lie to your students about how much you know. They can tell, and you will feel fake. The wonder of, “I don’t know the answer, let’s find out together.” and “Here’s the answer, and that’s how it fits with this. Isn’t that crazy!!!” is so engaging and not only increases student engagement, but also your knowledge and gives you a fun teaching story about how you found out.

Whatever the goal, if you don’t have a reason to keep learning, you will stop.

Enjoy the journey!

Newer windows machines won’t even let you install non-microsoft-store programs without checking a one-time-no-way-back-box of liability. So much for being an end-user…
Edit: And without a tertiary google search, the dialogue window language is designed to make users think “other” programs are not compatible.

Does anybody know where these literal sexual demons are?
Because I want to avoid those places extra hard.

I’m the mom/dad.
I’m so proud of my kid!
(I have no clue what they’re doing, I just know at age 10, every child has to leave home).

I like this sentiment; it is very good.

Go back to reddit, and type something no one will see, hipster wanna be.

Give me about 5 years. I’m going solo, and just now learning how much I have to know, but I have concept art and music, so I’m making progress.

Someone posted earlier asking for the best means to not poop (and other requirements) for three days. Welcome to the next front page of the internet!

Joe MAMA!

I prefer clean jokes: Muddy white horse took a bath.

You definitely put it.

Welcome! I’m new here too. Excited to be part of the first steps for this community!

Aaaand now I’ve got the 4th of July, fireworks song from school house rock stuck in my head.

Endless monologues and dialogue-dependent quests. Tell me what to do once, then be happily surprised when it’s done. I don’t need to know why it’s important to uncle Sandy to find the green gate key, he can say “Thanks!” later if I want to talk to him at all.

This is the content I came here for!
