Truth be told it’d be weird if that part said literally anything else. “Supporters say it’s over her potty training videos.”

I like that it tries its best to avoid spoiling just what is about to historically unfold. I’m pretty sure it’s trained not to talk about death but it just sounds like it’s trying so hard not to let Lincoln know so he keeps the timeline on track.

Just sounds like we’re the Australia of the Social Media world. Exiled from Reddit and the rest? Check out Lemmy- we aren’t the dark web, we promise!

It is common practice, which is more to the point that it’s weird this teacher didn’t. However, third rate instructors do exist. I’ve TAd for some even at a top 25 school who still just vibe-graded their classes. It’s really unprofessional, but they were hired for research reasons, not instruction.

As others have noted, both student and teacher are kinda awful. The student for obvious reasons, but the teachers assignment and grading isn’t really best practice, especially if you give a 0 when there’s literally any rubric you grade to (and you want that for anything you’re grading seriously).

I teach psychology courses at University level and for written parts you really have two acceptable options. Important papers (e.g. final essays worth 20% of total grade) should always have a rubric-- these you can very much give a bad grade to a student who clearly doesn’t understand what peer reviewed evidence is because evidence might be a 20pt rubric item and without it, an A drops to a C (and that’s assuming everything else is perfect). Having it in writing protects you legally.

The other, much more common assignment like a reaction piece, is mostly to check for participation in reading an assigned reading. There’s usually no rubric and it’s scored for completion so there isn’t any subjective side to it. Quote the Bible or whatever, it’s like a participation grade to encourage reading and if you have a bad take, whatever. These are usually 1% of the grade and there’s usually one every week to keep up with.

Doing anything in-between opens you up to problems, not to mention it’s just unfair to students. If you follow a rubric, you almost never give a zero unless they just straight up cheated.

Not very many accidents out in the middle of nowhere highways, although in my experience last holiday season there wasn’t a single jabroni hogging the left lane. Granted, I usually drive everyone back at like 1 am, so mileage may vary.

You’re absolutely right in the middle of the city though, and the number of people who get angry at you for not going 60 on a 40 mph blvd is way higher than it should be. I got honked at and a guy swerved around me just got both of us to get stuck at the same red. Those are the people who will certainly kill pedestrians.

Btw, this isn’t considering how they get there. Google and iOS both push some of these sources on their newsfeed apps (and probably first hits when you Google search something).

Not to say the average person isn’t brainwashed, just that the oligarchy feeds its own.

Hey now, they have satirical news too.

Wait, I’ve been informed it’s not satirical. Wtf?

Oh but don’t you want to know first which Democrat places like Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas would like? You know, those bastions of democracy.

/s, like it’s needed lol.

I wonder. People saying it isn’t VPNs aren’t necessarily wrong but I do want to say it’s likely they are using bot networks to mass create accounts and those might use IP rotation. Those IPs can come from any fucking place. I’ve only seen it from scraping operations, but I bet it’s necessary when mass operating bullshit accounts.

US proxies exist, but they’re more expensive and wouldn’t make as much sense for mass creating if your goal is just to avoid getting blocked.

Fuckin’ rad.

I was just a tiny bit too young to get into it properly, as my brother and I would turn off enemies and just explore the world in that game (I loved vents and secret door). Instead, I got heavily into its level maker.

I was 9. Lol

Oh God, the European version would be pedo in a speedo.

Wow. I see now why experts are saying that was written by Russia, at least in part. Especially the parts clearly steered by Russian propaganda like the Nazi thing. Also 50% to the US? That’s really, really stupid.

Hmm. Neat. I didn’t mind Prop 50 mostly because it’s a one off thing. Plus we already know Rs already are more represented in the house than they should be due to gerrymandering, so it’s not like there aren’t other states to offset, lol.

Maybe it’s meant to be “shirts that make you hard?” Lol

I’m a little curious how this impacts CAs efforts, as I believe those were meant to be contingent on TX but with appeals existing and the timeframe, I’m not sure when or if they’ll undo what they were going to do in CA. And CAs is pretty obviously not race driven, even if it’s blatantly partisan (yet that’s legal because fuck us).

Would be really funny though if this backfires such that Ds get more gerrymandered seats overall, though, lol.

Nice, earlier this year I wanted to to likewise but with Professor Oak challenges, which is get every Pokemon as early in progression we possible. I did it on Blue but it was quite miserable grinding lvl 36 Blastoise fighting only lvl 6 stuff prior to the first badge.

Suffice to say I took a break after that, but I’ll hit Silver next. Fast forward on emulation was a godsend, as well as achievement tracking for keeping track of how many more I had to grab before the next badge (it got really weird because you can skip Lt Surge and just keep going without the HM lol)

Holy hell, your recommendation algorithm is all sorts of fucked. I tried to replicate it but just searching for “FOSS budgeting software comparison” it looks like there’s a few legit ones in the mix, but plenty of AI, too.

I’m not going to watch them to check though, since hitting one AI one will probably make them all AI, lol.

I agree we don’t know if they’re loss leaders yet. I will say that even if the hardware is priced at a loss, though, it’ll sell more Steam games. Ultimately I don’t know if it really matters.

Though yeah, people should get past headlines. Lol

Headphones won’t break your ears any worse than loud speakers do, and noise cancelling headphones are actually a solution to blocking loud noise (e.g. construction), or for people who get overstimulated.

In fact, since headphones can block out sound you might even be listening at a lower volume than if you were trying to drown out sound with speakers, assuming the headphones have any noise cancellation (even just muffled cups). Even just competing with ambient noise can cause us to raise volumes more than necessary.
