As far as ‘workplace disruption,’ yeah, that’s going to affect how the other teachers, his students, and their parents relate to him- this wasn’t some anonymous post on twitter.
In all seriousness, I don’t know how he could do his job, no matter how good of a teacher he is otherwise.

I’m torn on this. The thing that sticks with me is that this isn’t a generic job site- he has an ethical and legal obligation to protect his students (mandatory reporter).
I think an investigation isn’t unwarranted- he sent a clear message that he doesn’t care about the well-being of his students.

Reminds me of a cousin who persuaded his mom to stop drinking Diet Coke because aspartame causes diabetes (true-ish? Decent paper linked artificial sweeteners to a release of insulin; it’s a jump to say ‘causes diabetes,’ but not unreasonable).
So she switched to… regular coke.
AAAAAAAAAUGH

I saw someone summarize the barriers to music production as being an inch high- it’s literally never been easier to access production software, sample libraries, YouTube music lessons, etc.
Making music still has a learning curve, but that’s because it’s a skill.

A wolf or fox might not really mind the smell, but there’s no way they’re going to be able to wash it off without, you know, detergents. For the next week, any potential prey is going to smell them from a literal mile away. That’s some strong selective pressure to leave the stripy little guys alone.

My understanding is that the defense mechanism is less ‘you think this smells bad’ (because there’s no sort of universally disliked smell)- and there are certainly worse smelling things out there (at least for us humans).
The defense is that it’s *strong* and *sticky.*

I’m all for metric units, but Celsius really doesn’t communicate like Fahrenheit does.
One digit of temperature? We need more degrees. Three digits? Too many degrees. 50C makes me think ‘huh, that’s probably pretty hot.’ 122F? TOO MANY DEGREES

The editor’s reason was that that level of detail was literally unprintable. It’s not a big deal with digital printing, but manga is usually printed using some offset process, and trying to go too fine with physical processes can ruin your print quality- ink builds up, clogs, floods, etc.

This can backfire.
An anecdote I heard about Kentaro Miura (of Berserk) is that when he switched to digital production, his assistants and editor begged him to stop zooming in to the pixel scale adding detail on his splash panels.

Well, I guess they’re trading in ‘fuck everything it hurts to breathe my nostrils are freezing up’ cold for merely ‘fuck this shit’ cold with a strong possibility of three feet of snow overnight?
Feels like a lateral move.

If anything, most of the other excessively online people I know IRL are just more cynical or blackpilled compared to ‘normies,’ rather than more ideologically extreme- turns out avowed anarchists and communists are way more chill in-person and offline.
Make of that what you will.

While geography is definitely part of this (large liberal city), but my experience is not so cut and dry. I’m more to the left than most people, but once you get past ‘not overly online,’ there’s a lot more generalized anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist sentiment than you might think.

I had a history of American education textbook that explicitly connected methods of cultural suppression and racism in colonial America by the English being explicit echoes of the same tactics and and even language used to dehumanize the Irish, I hadn’t seen that connection before.
