Agh I can't catch up because of so much work, but I wanted to let ladythread know that I will be writing my paper tonight on schema theory about training beauty advisors at stores like Ulta or Sephora. In honor of ladythread.

Officially changing jobs in 3 weeks, made guilt cheesecake brownies for my coworkers, who will find out tomorrow that I'm :wave:.

Poopkitty I've been looking forward to your fancy dinner I don't want you to miss it!! Just like, fly your parents out to Japan for the weekend so they watch the kids? Note: this plan assumes you have a billion dollars. If that is not the case, please disregard plan.

Awww. I wish I was your co worker. Only I would be sad to see you go so I'm glad you'll be staying here. I am interested in your paper. Can I read it when you are done?

I wish I had $1,000,000. Instead I will start begging my friends to keep my kids, and also I asked Mr. Kitty his thoughts about cancellation. My biggest concern is not being able to get there. They tend to close streets/stop trains in the snow.

I just put money in the Magic Fingers!
I have a nice Valentines day planned. The last time I put something together my son had to go and bust open his lip, so I'm hoping this goes better. Canceling plans for circumstances beyond your control sucks.

Also what is schema theory detectivemonkey?

Of course! Lady thread is probably super into schema theory. It's all schemes, spiders, and semen cookies itt.

Brownie update: they smell amazing. I will be bringing them in pre-cut for their convenience/to steal a few.

^ it's a learning theory that says you remember something by creating a mental model that includes thing learned. So for the case study I'm using an example of a person who trains new beauty advisors at a big store with a ton of make up. The advisors need to learn what they have, but they can organize it mentally in terms of "eyeliner includes liquid eyeliner, pencil and cream", and relate new products to existing items in that schema. For colors, they could think of them in terms of palette, like warm = reds, oranges, golds, and browns, while cools = pink, silver, etc. that way they're not memorizing every color, but groups.

I remember in middle school absolutely hating how we read books. Like, when we were reading To Kill a Mockingbord, we had to find one symbol per chapter and describe it, and I was like, this poo poo is obvious, the old ladies give the kid a cake cause he's getting older, or whatever, I don't remember that part too well, let's just read the dang book.

It wasn't until years later, when I started arguing with nerds who are literally incapable of understadning the concept of metaphor or symbolism, that I appreciated that teaching method.

I 100% do not pick up on symbolism ever. I actually really like The West Wing because all of the "literary" crap is SO IN YOUR FACE that you're like OH THEIR CHESS GAME IS LIKE THE MISSILE CRISIS THAT IS ALSO HAPPENING. And then you feel smart, but you're not really smart you're just able to pick up on heavy-handed techniques.

Plus half the time they explain the parallel in the synopsis for the episode anyway.

Sometimes you can go in the opposite direction though and see tons of symbolism where there probably wasn't any intended. I remember in the old TVIV Breaking Bad threads people would spend pages analyzing the symbolism of the tiniest, most meaningless poo poo ever. And they'd never listen, even if the writers went on record saying it wasn't symbolism at all but just a lucky accident.

Truth. Plus, the best part of eliminating soda from your diet is that after like, three months without one, you can have a single sip and be all "Wow, no desert for me, thanks!" because it's so overpowering.

I'm convinced the British empire was founded on English sailors looking for something appetizing to eat.

if you like grease, you'll love england

Germans eat like hogs, but they also all love to hike and ski and mountainbike and all that crap, so on average they're fitter than we are. Austrians are kinda fat though, and they also have less of a nudity taboo than we do. Elderly businessmen swimming naked in the Danube during their lunch break.
