I'm gathering interest on the idea of a civilian run school, something where you can interact and learn from a real person instead of the NPCs here.

It probably wouldn't be a conventional school, but if you have skills you'd be willing to run a class on, or something you're interested in learning, talk about it here.

If it seems like it would be viable, I'll look into securing space at the school for classes. For now, if you decide you want to start holding classes, probably use a public space or your apartment.

As an example, I can teach math and science up to a high school graduate level. How to use computers and semi-automatic weaponry.

!!! I like this

I don't think I've got a lot of teachable skills but there are a lot of things I'm interested in. engineering maybe?

I'm good at helping with homework though ✨ and the library has a few study rooms that can be rented out

NKaito006, You can't just call people NPCs

[keijournal]

Are you kidding me.

[keijournal]

I'm also more interested in learning. Compared to others here, my life is fairly ordinary. I assume there are plenty of people here with a unique education to share.

[proficient_in_photoshop]

I could hold a practical class on life skills they completely do not teach you in school
although I dunno how it would translate here
I can also hold basic spiritual safety courses and anti-scam courses of course

I guess high school art or graphic design, if you want to get WILD (｀∇´)ゞ

[keijournal]

What would a curriculum on 'Life skills they don't teach in school' involve?

Obviously not how to do laundry.

[proficient_in_photoshop]

Eeeh off top of my head: Taxes, insurance, how to check a house before you buy it, bartering, setting up proxies, spackling walls, that kind of shit
I guarantee only adults will show up

[keijournal]

Huh.

All almost entirely non-applicable here.

[proficient_in_photoshop]

Not as non-applicable as art w

[keijournal]

Bitter?

You could've gotten a useful degree.

[proficient_in_photoshop]

Nah being a psychic is waaaaaaaay better (๑ゝڡ◕๑)
Graphic design IS useful, just boring
Useful But Boring 101

I guess a bunch of people will inevitably start their own businesses. Not that marketing really applies in a place where you're only going to have competition if for some reason you want to start another coffee place.

[proficient_in_photoshop]

Uuuuugh
No way
I think I'd rather swallow a box of tacks than teach a bunch of amateurs marketing
My level can't be taught
You need NATURAL STYLE โ๏∀๏ใ

[keijournal]

Maybe you should talk to your boss about that. He's probably the kind of guy who would shell out for marketing.

[proficient_in_photoshop]

I dunno, we have such a beautiful relationship so far
as soon as there's differences in artistic vision that's it
that's when the pain starts

[keijournal]

That's true. Risk vs reward, I guess.

Anyway, I'd be curious about your class on avoiding con artists.

[supraliminally]

I take it you're not looking to learn high-school albegra, then. Or do you just not like NPCs?

un: sparkling

[ghostfromthemachine]

so I guess graphic design isn't your passion www

[keijournal]

Getting a pointless education from a bunch of non-people is too many levels of fruitless performance for me.

I like learning, but when it comes to the school here, I might as well just read it all.

[supraliminally]

Oh? So it isn't the subject matter you object to, but the ones teaching it. Do you find them distasteful, or do you just think real people are better teachers?

[ghostfromthemachine]

that's about the position I'm in and what I was thinking,
too.

[keijournal]

It's creepy. And also pointless. Again, I could just learn it from a book in that case.

[supraliminally]

What's creepy about it?

[keijournal]

It's a perfect example of the uncanny valley. They look and sound like people, and you can even mistake them for being 'real' up to a point, but they aren't capable of developing beyond what they are now, or providing information outside of a specific paradigm.

But if you're fine with that, obviously I'm not going to stop you from learning from them.
