Because people think Biden may actually do it. No one is stupid enough to believe Trump would put aside his ego long enough to consider the problems created by his extreme age.

Holy shit that is a Goomba. It’s just one of those images that the longer you look…

Yo, that Mushroom boy is holding a HUGE knife.

I just install DoNotSpy after a fresh install of Windows and have never had an issue with Windows Update ignoring me and doing whatever it wanted.

Obviously the system has to be offline until it is installed and probably restarted, but after that you can plug in a cable and be fine, to my experience. Mind you I am still using an old, old, copy of 10 Pro as the installer, so I am uncertain how newer, fresh installs or home edition will handle it.

The push to get people to stop saying it Streisand Effected the word into a slur. There’s no reason it shouldn’t have just gone the way of "moron,

Sure. But it didn’t. And now it is a slur. And no matter how much you’d like to defend your version of the word, that isn’t what it means. Sitting in your own bubble and insisting on your own version of language history doesn’t change the meaning of the word to the evolving world.

So, we’re just going to pretend that language doesn’t evolve because it justifies your bias?

People didn’t put their foot down when the meaning of those words began to shift, and now they mean something entirely different. In our more socially and culturally aware culture, we as a people understand nuance and are generally educated enough to see what’s happening. We have by and large decided that it’s a bad thing to continue normalizing attacking the mentally disabled.

Fuck off with your pseudo-intellectual defense of toxic, dehumanizing culture. Words mean things. The things they mean can change. Those ones, in a less educated and accepting time, did. The ones we have now have not. Your attempt to dismiss that is genuinely hateful.

Imagine calling the difference between people who do stupid things and people who are born with diagnosed mental illnesses “splitting hairs”.

It’s very, very simple. In one case, you are attacking someone who is completely in control of their mental facilities. In the other, you are attacking people who are literally incapable of defending themselves, from birth. They are not synonymous. If you think that level of punching down is okay, then be as indignant and self-righteous about it as you want, but you deserve to be told.

Watching the wheels turn when a straight person, upset by being forgotten, is told that this is what LGBTQ+ people are used to and have had to deal with for most of history.

The military program started under former President Donald Trump and continued months into Joe Biden’s presidency, Reuters found – even after alarmed social media executives warned the new administration that the Pentagon had been trafficking in COVID misinformation. The Biden White House issued an edict in spring 2021 banning the anti-vax effort, which also disparaged vaccines produced by other rivals, and the Pentagon initiated an internal review, Reuters found.

???

Not saying I’m super impressed with the bidden admnistration, but "started it with an explicit goal of spreading misinformation and “took them a couple months to put a stop to it” are not the same thing. Your statement sounds like it’s trying to draw that false equivillency.

It’s no great secret that the Trump administration was peddling in vaccine misinformation.

The only surprise here is how much damage it caused in the Philippines in particular.

They legit don’t have any faces or arms. That “Thor” has a weird, flesh coloured, Megaman buster-shaped appendage, no eyes and a gaping hole of a mouth.

It’s not obvious at a glance, but each of those “characters” are amorphous blobs. Seriously, zoom in even a little, it’s really strange to look at.

I appreciate the poster demonstrating always-on to OP, and I’d never criticize them for using this wallpaper, but the only way you can call this “very good AI art” is by glancing at a thumbnail and moving on.

The insanity and ignorance necessary to call prison “a sweet life”.

What’s the goal here? There’s no way you’re this willfully ignorant, right?

It’s kind of like Kahoot, but there’s a greater variety of games.

The teacher hosts a game with a question set they either found it made, and each student joins on a device. They’re givegiven the questions and selecting correct answers earns them something relative to the game.

The most traditional one is the one that was described here, where they are given every question in sequence and are awarded points for the accuracy and speed of their answers, but there is some great variety. There’s a tower defense game where correct answers give you the currency to buy and upgrade towers, a “survivors”-like game where a correct answer is required to be given a choice of weapon upgrades and several variants on slot machine-esque games, where correct answers gives them a random bonus ranging across gaining score, multiplying score or stealing score from other players.

I like to use it with the kids whenever I require some rote memorization. Ie, we’re reviewing terms we’ve used or will be using in a unit, or we’re refreshing things they’re supposed to have learned in previous years.

There’s some great single-player options too, if you ever find yourself struggling to deal with rote memorization for any courses you’d take as an adult, too. While it’s definitely targeted towards classrooms and kids, the games are imo substantially more engaging ways to memorize things that are in general hard to care about outside of a requirement for some job, diploma or degree.

Damn, my grade 7 class is cringe af. Kid keeps naming himself “skibisigma” every time we play Blooket.

“Fuck them, I’ve got mine” pro-capitalist mindset in the wild.

Nah dude. If they hit a billion dollars, you take all their wealth, reset them back to level one, put a star next to their name and tell them to do it again. They’ll appreciate the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with a second run.

Honestly people will ruin whatever after a few generations when they don’t see the negstives anymore.

Why am I still paying those IT security folk? We haven’t had any data leaks in years!

On the contrary, I suspect they don’t port their games to PC because they don’t think they compete with PC.

That might change with the prevalence of the Steam Deck and other gaming targeted handheld PCs.

“Steal a little, they throw you in jail. Steal a lot, they make you a king”.

Downloaded a game which Windows Defender flagged as high-threat for containing “Cracked game content” the other day. Why yes, my cracked copy of this game IS cracked, thank you for noticing.
