Maybe I'm in the minority, but since seeing the gameplay of Drawnsters I'm glad I didn't donate to the kickstarter. In my opinion, it seems like a knock-off gartic phone, and doesn't seem like you would have fun playing it. The most exciting part was drawing the characters, and even then it doesn't feel like an actual game to me. Once they started the battle, it seems like bad news that 2/3 (if i interpreted the games right) of the battles tied. Plus, there's no actual strategy, and while that can make a fun game, it seems all the characters have random amounts of points. Did anyone else not understand the appeal?

Does anyone know of some closed or open species that are active and have humanoid designs? I like collecting species but I haven't found many that are active currently.

Ones I am currently a part of:

Trinketiers
Candy Dinos
Virusytes (Reopening Soon)
Stellions
Gummisaurs

Ones I know of, but have no designs of:

Comchys
Pocket Pals
Umaries
Constellangels
Akimaru
Frankenhounds

I’m a younger male teacher (29M) and now that it’s summer I’ve started going to my apartment complex’s pool. I’m trying to do babysitting this summer to help make ends meet and when I was at the pool the other day there was a family there with a few kids all elementary school aged. I introduced myself after a wiffle ball nearly hit me. I was just being friendly with the parents and kids and mentioned I was a HS teacher and if they needed babysitting that I’m available. Today, I get a call from HR that the mom filed a complaint about me saying I was being creepy. I came into the office and when I explained everything, the HR people were laughing bc all I was doing was being a friendly neighbor. In no way did I sound creepy from the mom’s complaint or from my point of view. I honestly don’t know if I should put this under humor or rant because while the situation is kind of funny, it pisses me off that a parent thought I was acting creepy.

So I am an academic advisor for a pretty big state university in the U.S. and we are currently having orientations. Lately, I have noticed how clueless and entitled freshmen have become. I have had so many orientation students argue with me that they don’t have to take a certain requirement bc they took it in high school. For example, I had a student argue with me that they do not need a specific core class bc they were in band in high school??? Others have said that they should not take a math class bc they took high school math???

Then I get students complaining to me that their AP Credits or dual credits have not been posted to their accounts and when I ask them when they submitted, they do not know and that someone submitted it for them??? I was in high school in 2018 and we had to submit our own stuff. There was someone helping us, but we would be the ones submitting our AP scores, applications, etc.

Talking to them has become like talking to a wall. Oh and my favorites are the ones who use chat gpt to search for EVERYTHING. I had a student who told me that they wanted to switch majors bc chat gpt told them 😑😑

I am working on my EC-6 teacher certification and I have seen how kids behave in elementary school, which is no different than the college students.

How do you guys even manage to stay sane??? Teacher do deserve more respect and money than they currently get.
