@a7
Basically my point is that your whole basis for "cringe" is that i implied i was an educator in a post that explicitly said i wasnt an educator. Morover as someone who invests a lot of time teaching people i am exposed daily to the effects of the educational system and stuck in a position where i jave to undo their mistakes. So while i am not effected financially i am part the process.
@crunklord420
Not really. In my OP I very explicitly state that my time is donated and not my likelihood.
> As someone who donates a lot of time ...
Not sure how I can "imply" my my livelihood depends on tutoring when the post explicitly states otherwise.
@realDonaldTrump Ok I see what your saying now. Your wording was off because you seemed to assume that doing a disservice is the same as "evil", which I wouldnt agree with.
I do agree with you that them intending to educate people and doing a poor job at achieving itis largely not forgiven simply because of intent. But again there is a distinction between being evil and being ineffectual.
Teachers largely do a poor job at educating because they use the wrong methods to educate. Being ineffective at your job does not make you an evil person though, which is basically what I originally said and it still stands true. But yes we agree not being a evil person doesnt make their ineffectiveness go away.
Or simply a different perception of it.
When I think of even the most evil people they almost always justify their evil as some greater good. Serial killers for example claiming it is what god wanted them to do and want not.
I think the vast majority (not all but almost) of people justify their evil actions as good ones somehow
@realDonaldTrump Well for starters, no, CrunkLord did, not me (or at least "bad person" which implies evil).
Second.. not sure how even if i did bring up the notion of "evil" that answers my question. I never claimed you brought up the notion of evil, I asked you what the relevance was of pointing out not one intends to be a bad person. I made no statements about intent to be good or bad, so im struggling to see what point your making or how it relates to what I said.
@crunklord420 Wait... so educator includes anyone who helps anyone learn any subject, not just teachers or those in educational institutions.
So because I offer my time freely to help someone learn a topic they are struggling with that makes me compromised and if I were a good person I'd refuse to help people learn things?
I mean I literally tutor people, someone doesnt understand something they call me up and I hang out with them at their house or mine and explain things... how evil of me...
LOL ok buddy.
@realDonaldTrump Sure, how is that relevant here though?
@crunklord420 While there are certainly some shitty educators, most in fact, it isnt for lack of trying. They certainly arent evil people. So to assume all educators are bad people is just absurd to me. If you had said most educators are shitty educators though I might have agreed.
Prototypes I usually use OSH Park if I want a rush delivery (in this case I did) and/or four layers (again this is four layer).
I would not recommend them for large runs of boards though, also if you dont need it any time soon there are cheaper places for prototype boards.
If you dont mind a long wait but also want them cheap with a good selection of options you can go with DirtyPCB. You can get it rushed from them too but its still coming from china in that case so you just cant get anything too quickly from them if you arent in china.
@L29Ah Ahh yes, indeed if it was in your home timeline it is because you were following me. While your welcome to unfollow me I dont think you'll have much success unfollowing anyone who posts anything funny. I always hashtag my posts, some others do the same, it would probably be more effective if you just filter out the hashtags instead, I know that would work with my posts at least and is certainly going to be more effective than unfollowing anyone who posts something funny.
FUCK! Somehow I missed a single trace when I sent my boards off to get prototyped!!! At least its not a production run, but still this is super annoying. I'll have to jump it with a wire but might cause some RFI, not happy about this at all!

Thanks, anything i can do to help

@stux
Thanks. We stopped playing the numbers game a while ago though. Trying to focus on quality now.
@stux
Yea on the science and engineering subreddits, was at the top for a week or two
@stux Good, we too got a new inrush of users when we topped on reddit for a bit there.
I'm doing well just dealing with americans really
Just a reminder to anyone in the fediverse, including people i havent met yet... If you are struggling with depression, mental illness, or just need someone to talk to, please reach out to me anytime. I care about you even if i dont know you and if i can help I will do my best, even if you need more attention or help than some nice words or a chat, i will try to be there for you.
I think all too often people struggling with these things feel no one cares or that it is hopeless. So to whoever you are im telling you now, I care. It doesnt matter if we argues, if we dont agree, if you were mean to me. I care and want to help.
DM me!
