Sagebrush posted:also i'm really tortured about whether i should require students to have video on during our "class" sessions. videoconferencing latency absolutely murders anybody asking impromptu questions. In real life, you open your mouth, start to make a sound, then if someone else has already started talking you back off. over a typical video link you don't actually notice them talking in time to stop. so people end up talking over each other, then try to awkwardly figure out who should speak first, then nobody talks after that unless they're specifically called upon because they don't want to deal with that hassle. The more people involved, the quieter it gets.

biggest tip is to separate your fun space from your work space if you're using the same computer for work as you do for gaming then you're going to have a hard time keeping things separate mentally. if you have a separate work computer on a separate desk you can go and sit down in your work chair (that you only sit in when you're working) and put yourself in a work headspace instead of a gently caress-around-and-have-fun headspace.

i was like this yesterday my body clock was all "welp you've had two days off, gotta get up in time for work" but getting up early on your day off is good. gives you lots of time to do stuff. like play videogames for hours and then realize it's still only ten oclock

you should probably talk to a therapist. while an in-person visit probably isn't feasible right now, it seems like talk therapy over a video chat should be a thing that exists.

wonder if it's like dengue fever where there's a bunch of nearly-identical variants and you end up immune to the exact one you got but none of the others thankfully it doesn't have the part of dengue fever where antibodies for one variant actually make all the other variants even more deadly

Strict rent control encourages landlords to put the price up the maximum amount they're allowed to by default, because they can always drop it back later if it's now too high but they can't increase it by more than that if it's too low. It also encourages landlords to invent ways to boot tenants out as a roundabout way to increase rent by more than what's allowed. It can be useful as a short-term policy to limit the immediate effects of a housing crunch, but the goal should be to solve the underlying housing issue to the point where rent control is no longer needed. Trying to sustain it long-term results in something utterly dysfunctional.

the transition period between short and long hair sucks but if you power through to the point where you can actually tie it back it's pretty alright. other than taking way longer to properly wash now. kinda like how if you want to go from clean-shaven to having a beard you need to suck up and deal with having lovely unshaven stubble for a bit
