Fella, the stuff Gen Z struggles with is the light switch.

Nah sorry we’re not taking the red states. They can be their own Christofascist hell elsewhere.

The problem with having reasonable and respectful discourse with people you disagree with, is that you first have to find people willing to have reasonable and respectful discourse. In real life I’ve met plenty. On Twitter, there are none. They’re mostly just in getting a rise out of libs and lefties. We’ve already been finding that disengaging with them and moving to a platform they don’t have influence over has made them a lot more impotent.

They said that in 2016 too after rigging things against populist grassroots candidates in favour of establishment Democrats and learned nothing.

I think going from the relatively peaceful period of the 90s in the west to living through the Bush administration, 9/11, racist fear mongering and alarmism over terrorism, mass erosion of rights and privacy, jingoism and wars in the Middle East under false pretenses, the Bush adminstration’s connections with the military-industrial complex getting exposed, seeing stuff like Fox News, Glenn Beck, and Bill O’Reilly start to mindrot the boomer generation into unrecognizable husks of their former selves, the 2008 market crash due the effects of all the failed conservative economic policies and deregulation that occured the past few decades — coloured Gen Xers’ and Millennials’ perspectives in a way that I imagine would be difficult for Gen Z to grasp.

They have no point of reference to see how badly things changed under the Republican party because they already grew up in the shit, and due to Republican obstructionism they may think that it’s Democrats faults because Obama and Biden were in the White House, but much of the fixing actually needs to happen in the house. But even that may not be enough because of the partisan Supreme Court.

And honestly, in a case of a lot of cis Gen Z boys who’ve been sucked into some shoddy conservative ideas, I feel like we failed them if guys like Andrew Tate, Trump, and other such garbage heaps of human beings were the ones getting through to them.

I think feeling frustrated that we’re not doing enough to prevent the next set of people from having to go through this and suffer this bad is a perfectly reasonable reaction to have, actually.

Lol

When I try to think of things that would sell out quickly, clown shoes were not on my list but here we are.

Outside of a few small local businesses that actually care about doing right by people, loyalty hasn’t mattered for decades dude. Companies don’t give a shit about any of us. Why even bother thinking in terms of loyalty, it’s completely misaligned with how they operate.

The more people get into it the less valuable it becomes is the thing. But others pointed out there’s a ton of other reasons it’s problematic, like the need for those other jobs to exist to actually, like, have a functioning society.

Edit: Also arguably a lot of the low hanging fruit coding positions aren’t as lucrative as they once were. People with experience are doing well. New people are having a tougher time getting their foot in the door compared to 5-10 years ago.

Yeah, and a Matrix instance

Edit: Just read that this covers grades 4 - 8 so what I said doesn’t apply.

Idk there are definitely some courses that I don’t think could have been covered in just the allotted class time without additional practice in order to be prepared enough for the university level, particularly high school mathematics and AP Calc, and physics.

Is the AI open source? Curious what you’re using and what your experiences with it are.

You’ll call a Phillips a Phillips but not a Robertson a Robertson or an Allen an Allen, smh

And trying to get by on a single income is a fucking nightmare for a lot of people.

Outrage is a social media staple, it’s not just Lemmy.

Daddy Druckmann must subsist on meals of mainstream praise and developer crunch, how else would Daddy Druckmann survive.

True but sometimes the tortilla rips open and the foil provides solid backup

That’s one of the reasons wrestling fans prefer the term scripted or staged as opposed to fake. It still requires tons of athleticism, and lots of wrestlers are still taking very real hits and injuries despite trying to minimize the impacts of them.
