I’m listening to “The Art of Seduction” audiobook by Robert Greene and while it’s all very illuminating and fascinating to hear stories about how historical figures used to seduce and to be seduced - and the things people did for love and affection - I can’t help but wonder, if and to what extent these things happen nowadays? Almost always grandiose, passionate, and often - desperate - attempts to win someone’s love? Or have we numbed ourselves to the point where most people aren’t even capable of feeling such intense emotions, let alone to acknowledge or express them?

Hi, everyone,

I was working on revising my school's course materials and wanted to create notes centered on getting students to grasp the grammatical affixes, such as -s, -ed and -ing. I felt that it was vital for students to get a solid grasp of their tenses so that they have a clear idea of the time references / orientation in regard to time. However, my colleague felt that time should be devoted to highlighting various common affixes, such as -ful, -ly and -ness, so that students are empowered to unpack the meaning of unfamiliar words (when they understand the meaning of affixes).

I would like to convince my colleague to spend more time and energy on the grammatical affixes. Hence, could any enlightened educator out there give me convincing reasons as to why students should know their tenses well?

Thank you for your time!

He sure seems to talk about it often. Now I hear he’s talking about a gold backed-token via blockchain.

Is it easier to comment to your old post or create a new post and include the updated thoughts and vision?

Excited for the new epoch!

🤠 how are you doing tonight?

If your on twitter getting ready to be forced kyc/aml, this is why…

Bitcoin only. 🤙onward

dealing with Fiat platforms really ruin your mood, why are they so good at making things complicated...

This was a good one:

Had some energy boost today, sharing is caring! ⚡️

I went back to one master who made the best çiğ borek I had ever eat, and I met his daughter this time, then I said your dad made the best çiğ borek! She then said: my dad gets up at 3am every morning and starts preparing and then goes home at 11pm every day. He even doesn't go to cousin's birthday because he prefer working in the shop, and he learned this craft from his grandpa about 7 years old, he then started to work on his own at 20+, and now he's 65, looks seemly healthy and works really sharp! and he said he will die soon if he stops doing it. 😳

She said YEESSSS!!!! 🧐

Hi People, nice reading you all.

I was super excited to post lots of news or discussion in the visperas of the halving, but I've got a flu and I closed almost all communications for a week since I didn't have energy to read nothing.

It was like sleeping and waking up, with a halving in the middle (that only occurs every 4 years). In perspective you remember the price of btc since then and now at 66k and it doesn't matter at all, all the fluctuancy that may had happened in the middle. Long term is the king.

Hope to recover my previous participation when I have full strength. In the meantime I'm watching the effects of the halving... The mempool fee was on fire I see.

An interesting point of view!

Day 126 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 482 sats on 21Apr2024! Running total: 84,766 sats!

Hi everyone, I'm having a crazy few days, I almost haven't been able to get into Stacker.news, I hope everyone is doing very well here!

I had to do battle with a huge overgrown shrub yesterday. My forearms are dead.

It reminds me of how I used to feel after a long day of rock climbing.

Hello Stackers!

I got up in the night and went to the end of the hall. Over the door in large letters it said, “This is the next life. Please come in.” I opened the door. Across the room a bearded man in a pale-green suit turned to me and said, “Better get ready, we’re taking the long way.” “Now I’ll wake up,” I thought, but I was wrong. We began our journey over golden tundra and patches of ice. Then there was nothing for miles around, and all I could hear was my heart pumping and pumping so hard I thought I would die all over again.

Figured I would toss this in here instead of making a post. Liz Warren is trying to slip one by in the US.

Happy Earth Day Cowboys and Cowgirls!

Morning. One thing I didn't mention yesterday was our concern for our oldest cat, who was showing little appetite and throwing up a bunch. Whatever it was, he got it out of his system and is totally back to his normal self today (including butting the other cats out of the way at breakfast). Definitely a good thing to wake up to.

Instead of buying a new stove I purchased plane tickets to go see my good friend who beat stomach cancer

Although I'm retired, I have to keep my law license for some businesses I am involved with. Every two years I have to take CLE (Continuing Legal Education) courses online. Of course I'm hunting for bitcoin related stuff. No luck. All these lawyers talk about "crypto". Hearing the word is like nails across a chalkboard.

Good morning ladies and fellas. Just watering my horse before heading off the fiat mine to exchange for PoW money.

Day 373 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.

Happy Earth Day!

Made this poster for my students for them to reinforce the learning of the -ous suffix.

Sent it through the class WhatsApp group. Yes, many teachers have no boundaries these days. Five of them responded with the correct answers:

It’s days like this that make me really love teaching!

Took me longer than expected to write a post, it started out small until suddenly it's getting too complicated. Eventually i redo it from the beginning and split the post to several smaller scale posts

The official meaning of the word scholarship refers to academic study or achievement within learning at a high level.

It can also refer to a grant or payment to support the student’s education.

However, the word scholar is from the Ancient Latin word “schola”, meaning “school”, which led on to the Medieval Latin word “scholaris”, meaning “pupil”.

Learning, education and schooling are not the same thing.

Being schooled is not an education.

Further to this, you must consider the one offering the scholarship and payment therein, and question their motives and what strings are attached?

For example: a student would receive schooling to become a doctor, and once completed would then require a licence from a higher authority to practice the program, under conditions.

Reality...

I simply want to ask how you all are today? It would be really nice to get to know you all a little better :)

@siggy47 & @grayruby have some solid advice here for people looking into adoption of once-stray animals but hesitant to take the first step. Their answers are found here.

This makes SN so much greater than Google. I not only know people’s lived experiences, but also understand their thinking processes, motivations n reflections. Solid place
