You can also use DeepL for that, which I’m willing to bet uses a lot less energy and is a very reliable translation service.

First, you said “I completely agree with him”. If you do not understand how that might mean we think that means you agree with his rationale then writing your assignments by hand clearly didn’t help you that much.

But anyway:

Because sometimes you need to research things for homework? Because the kids with reliable internet will still be able to use it, will use it, and will have an unfair advantage over the kids who don’t have the same level of access(usually because their parents aren’t as well off, perpetuating the cycle of poverty). Even if we decided that every single piece of homework was to be 100% handwritten that wouldn’t make the internet go away and these problems would still persist.

It’s so much more nuanced than some weak take that doesn’t do much but expose your lack of understanding of the issue. Yes, there are some clear advantages to maybe scaling things back a little but this not the way to do it, not even a little bit.

I imagine if those obey the robots.txt thing that it’s not a problem.

Just double-checking though yes it seems obvious, does the UK refer to the sidewalk as “pavement”?

How is this not already a thing? The pavement is not the street, don’t put your personal vehicle on it I mean is it that difficult?

He is literally, outloud, complaining that the reason is because maybe kids who are unsupervised and have access to things are somehow going to have less access(??) to conservative viewpoints. The society he’s so afraid of creating is one where he cannot control children’s access to filtered, conservative-biased media, and since pretty much every conservative talking point is a lie, exaggeration, or manipulated perspective they desperately need to be in control of the flow of information. They’re literally banning paper books, bro.

Also this is about hotspot use being expanded outside of schools(“off-premises”), but if that comment is your take then maybe reading comprehension isn’t your thing. Guess those paper textbooks didn’t really do anything to help you, either.

(Literally in the first line it explains that the intention is to help kids without reliable internet get their homework done. He just hates poor people, big surprise.)

Nobody…except everyone? Pay attention, bud.

We also know that they aren’t failing. The fear behind them, the fact that visible minorities do not feel safe and that his base feels empowered to go after them as well, that’s all working as planned.

Tariffs can help with preparation, and they are a tool like many other policies. These ones, though, are not thoughtfully planned out. These protect no one, not even the mega-corps who need to figure out how to make everything domestically or price themselves out of the market.

Oh I hadn’t even thought of that, ‘cause yea he felt so much more off, especially with his pale skin contrasted against the night sky.

Thorin just immediately going “fuck this hobbit dude” was so jarring and cliché. I looked up Azog just now to double check and apparently this fucker died ONE-HUNDRED-AND-FIFTY YEARS before the Battle of Five Armies?! But his son was there and they could have used Bolg?! Also they completely removed Bilbo’s role in defeating the trolls and just had Gandalf save them by breaking a rock?

The Hobbit is the only book I’ve read more than once and yet I won’t even watch the second or third movie and that makes me, honestly, kinda sad. But I still have the book, and that’s a happy thought.

From my experience they believe that it’s an executive’s right to do shitty things for money if the law allows for it. They also believe that it’s some other person(who generally has it much worse and can’t easily fight back) who is making their lives hard for them.

A charicature(though not by much) to make my point clear would be: “it’s the immigrants’ fault that my boss needs to deny my raise and dodge their taxes again! It’s regulation’s fault that I can’t afford anything, not my shit wage combined with landlords and real-estate speculators working tirelessly to fuck everyone over! I’d get to work faster if they took out that bike lane! The woke mind virus is why I can’t find a “female”, not my shitty personality that they’re finally able to have the freedom and unity to not put up with anymore!”

Age of retirement goes up, working hours stay the same(or sometimes even get worse), wages go down(compared to inflation), and we still only have two measly weekend days. And the real kicker is that we know for a fact that we’d actually be even more productive if we soent less time at work.

It’s all horseshit.

One, like they said that’s not what they meant. Two, work is only goals-based to a point. If I finish my job early then almost in almost any office I don’t get to go home early. I used to get my shit done in half the day and, because I asked and no one would give me more(even when I identified issues I could fix), I would spend the other four hours watching Youtube or browsing the internet.

The only reward for doing your work faster is getting more work. My roommate was able to move to a four day work-week but had to do so because of burnout and even though they get their shit done the company still only agreed if they could reduce their salary by 20%.

Automation has also already been here for some time in many forms. Our productivity is higher than it’s ever been thanks to so many wonderful innovations and new technologies and yet we still only have two short days to have a weekend and still have to force our way through an 8hr workday even though every study shows that we cannot be consistently productive on that schedule.

I mean, we could all see the true nature of the U.S. ages ago. Like literally decades and decades ago and pretty much the whole time, to be honest.

Do you think “change” is the only important thing there? People want good change, and many know what that looks like. They didn’t have to compete against Trump’s marketting of the same concept, they just needed to finally grow a spine and do the things people have been pleading for for years.

I hate it, too, that wasn’t my intention with the response and I added an edit.

But yes, it fucking sucks that the country constantly has such awful choices.

Let’s be clear, while this is all definitely Trump’s fault it wasn’t not being an old, white male that did her in. She was aggressively centre-right and when people want change, when we can all see that the whole world needs change, running on “slightly less garbage and slowly moving in the right direction eventually maybe” is not very energizing.

That whole country is a massive dumpster fire that had to choose between a spray bottle or a can of gasoline to put it out.

Edit: I should clarify that the population should have still voted against Trump(note the wording there) and that it’s shameful that so many of them voted for him. What I’m responding to is the fact that people didn’t avoid Kamala because she was a woman or of a darker complexion and I don’t think we can blame old racists for this one.

She made asked him to be a nice person and exercised her free speech. Remember, “there’s nothing we can do” about racists on a private platform because that’s their right(it isn’t) but you ask the president to be nice and you risk facing government action(they want to deport her; she’s from New Jersey).

If this is bro saying he doesn’t wash his ass, or his worry is because he knows his ass is stanky, then I have no idea how she’s put up with him this long.

If they don’t blow themselves up, that is.

Man they’re not even doing the dog-whistle thing anymore, huh? Fucking disgusting, I hope he experiences the everlasting warmth of a car fire in the near future.
