Thanks Kobayashi.Though I've been in Korea far too long, I've always been socially awkward (no shame here).I mentioned "Perhaps I am not following your meaning" but it sounds like you and cowboy are better able to "read between the lines" and follow her meaning.I don't know what the "sad time feelies" are describing, but simply stated that it isn't acceptable to bring one's emotional baggage to school.Leave that mess at home, where it belongs.
Also, who says 'noob'?
Quote from: Ajahya on April 19, 2017, 10:20:26 amThat's not a fair comparison. There's no way to discover what their life span would have been if they died of natural causes. Today's Americans have modern medicine, and no natural predators (besides each other). And we have the technology and available information to measure the average lifespan of just those who live long enough to die of natural causes.It would have been EXACTLY THE SAME AS ALWAYS, since human genetic lifespan has not changed. Looking at life expectancy as a proxy for health is moronic, every noob suggests doing it, because it is the first thing that jumps into their brain.Sugar, grain oil, and white flour are not human foods. Vegetarians think they are. That's why vegetarianism fails. Simple, done.

Going to stick up for peeks because I feel like he might just be really awkward. It looks like just a misunderstanding. Calm down people Barring a death, sickness, huge problems at home or something else justified - we should be able to maintain a professional face and polite/pleasant attitude or as we Brits say "Stiff upper lip" I think in this case the OP was talking about the difference between being professional/normal and having to be super happy which is a bit different.

Sounds like we are really good at keeping people from the brink of death but not far away from it.
"We've trusted a lot of our health care to for-profit businesses and it's their job, frankly, to make profit," Rosenthal says. "You can't expect them to act like Mother Teresas."
"One expert in the book joked to me ... that if we relied on the current medical market to deal with polio, we would never have a polio vaccine," Rosenthal says. "Instead we would have iron lungs in seven colors with iPhone apps."
Dang, you love arguing, huh?

Quote from: Ptolemy on April 19, 2017, 12:07:43 pmWhat I do is analysis.What are you analyzing?
What I do is analysis.
That's because health is a more or less undefined parameter defined by the individual using it.

Waygook.org user Pecan is correct in saying you should always have at least the facade of friendly, professional and ready to work, otherwise you should've just stayed home. Nobody's really debating that, though. Waygook.org user Pecan just missed the mark by conflating that base line of professional conduct with the 'Oh my gawwwwwwwwww it's ENGLISH TIME KIDS WOOOOOOOOOOO!' that is expected from many of us to be our default classroom persona.

The only thing more broken than British politics is American politics and that ultimate, huge fcukwit Trump. Trigger Brexit and then call an election, you cnuts!

Has it been democratized? (perhaps by way of referendum?)

Changes in affect- that's a thing too. I also think that if perhaps, just for a second you were to climb down off your pedestal, you may see the world quite differently. Perhaps you may think you are the same upbeat teacher EVERY SINGLE DAY and that you never bring "emotional baggage" or "feelies" to school, I can assure you that you probably do, I would ask others around you. Perhaps you have not been able to see that in yourself. Sometimes it is difficult to acknowledge and empathise with others when one fails to acknowledge the same in ourselves. Or you just struggle with empathy, which you may want to work on, I have people in my life that struggle with the socially awkward situation too, they normally ask more questions before putting out rash statements, they have had to learn to do this though, you can too. Perhaps someone can help you with your condition.
