I feel like this is always the case for anyone with any sort of notoriety from the 1900s or before. If they were alive they were most likely racist Nazis.

My roomie is a trucker. He has laughed so much at the Tesla semitruck because it kind of fails at everything a truck is meant to do.

Respectfully, I don’t want to see any trains or buses made under his guidance.

It’s not private given that they require your phone number to sign up.

It wasn’t well balanced but it was a good RPG experience. Oblivion had a bunch of elements stripped out, but it was still an RPG, the wonky alphabetical voice acting aside. Skyrim felt like a cookie-cutter action adventure game, all the roleplay had flown out the window.

First is financially successful, it generated some decent profits for the stockholders.

This is the only sort of success they care about. Anything else is secondary. These companies gladly burn bridges with their communities so long as they believe it’ll benefit their bottom-line.

I mean, Winston Churchill most definitely was a villain. He wasn’t the villain of WWII, but undoubtedly a villain.

He was intensely racist, had no problem using Indian people in his army while censoring their letters, as a famine he had a hand in creating killed over three million people.

That’s no excuse for peddling propaganda-Nazi propaganda, though. I thought that was kind of this guy’s shtick?

Wow you unlocked a memory in me. I recall doing something similar but using some send command to do the same with any computer logged in and on the network.

Week after that I met a dude from municipal school IT support and that’s when I first learned about Linux. He had Red Hat on his laptop and he was happy to talk about it. Very cool dude.

I order in my groceries. Got a shrinkwrapped cauliflower, with the green chaff I might add, and a shrinkwrapped courgette. It’s all very strange to me.

Yeah, but at least my veggies come shrinkwrapped so I get to enjoy peeling them twice!

This. Let’s put the critique where it’s actually warranted. Being weird isn’t hurting anyone.

It’s probably not selfishness, experts say. Even young adults who want children see an increasing number of obstacles.

Well, of course it’s not selfishness. Having children is a purely selfish act, because who else are you reproducing for? You can’t do something for someone that doesn’t exist, and bringing existence to someone who hasn’t asked for it, knowing what the world looks like, doesn’t strike me as a kindness. So who else is benefiting? The capitalist machine?

Given how prominent an ally the U.S. is, the rise of the alt-right and increasingly fascistic tendencies lends a legitimacy to that viewpoint I’d rather not see. I naturally don’t put sole blame on the U.S. for the western sphere leaning more and more fascist, but it’s certainly set a precedent making it easier for others to follow.

I don’t get it, either. The White House has a website, which is certainly a place they could announce it. Further, there’s nothing stopping the government from hosting their own Mastodon instance, specifically for communications like that. Using X seems like an endorsement of the platform, and the person currently calling the shots.

Good catch, thank you!

I don’t see how I’m being cryptic. I’m poking fun at the headline saying that they’re trialling a four day week, not a four day work week.

My apologies if that was too obtuse.

It’s not about hormones, the problem is the way education is structured today. It doesn’t engage students properly. Sure there’s a bunch of extrinsic motivation, grades, punishment for not performing, etc. but there’s no fostering of intrinsic motivation.

Without motivation you won’t see results.

For intrinsic motivation to work, the system needs to meet the students where they’re at. That won’t work with all the standardisation that we’re attempting.

Sure, a lot of students will manage, some will even thrive, but those that don’t will be left by the wayside.

Ah, four day week instead of a seven day one? Nice! I better only have to work for two days.

I mean they promise violence if they get their shit through so the only option is to challenge them.

I’ve learned nothing since I got my first phone and that bad boi didn’t even have a clock.
