This will in no way cause consumers to become angry and absolutely will not cause a giant headache and back pedaling for Meta.

Because we saw what happens with Reddit. People come in claiming to be “moderate”, and very quickly shit like T_D starts popping up. Also center of the road politics in the US has had rights taken away from millions of people in just the past year, and it’s going to continue to erode them from more. I’m not telling you to change your political stance, but I am telling you that people see them as an attack because they have literally been attacked by “moderates”.

But as established before, the teacher is an idiot and wrong. I promise you that the teacher did not create that assessment herself. Shit, the font looks like it was put out by Envision/Savvas, a huge producer of math curricula in the US. The developers of that curriculum are expecting the students to not answer “it’s not possible”. They are expecting them to answer “one of the pizzas was larger”. I promise you if you look at the provided answers that is the expected answer. It’s not a trick question, it’s a question to get the students to think critically and figure out what would make the situation possible.

How in the holy fuck is everyone still focusing on “it’s a bad question” and not “this teacher is a fucking moron who doesn’t understand the curriculum they are supposed to be teaching”? Jesus, for years I’ve been listening to people bitch about critical thinking not being taught, and then they see this and immediately complain about a critical thinking question.

“If Y is true, what must we do to X to ensure Y is true?”

Someone stop reality, I want to get off

This isn’t testing reasonableness. This is testing to see if a student understands that to properly compare fractions the wholes have to start as equivalent.

Source: I use questions similar to this every year because if I don’t get some real funky diagrams.

Federal rulings set a legal precedent and can then be used in future rulings. So all of her court decisions can/will be used in the future to convince judges to make similar rulings.

Jacked up prices, added a ton of crappy content instead of focusing on fewer but better quality shows, “crackdown” on password sharing when they once encouraged it.

Demon79 is what you get if O. Henry wrote a 60s/70s thriller. It doesn’t fit Black Mirror at all beyond the “there’s a twist”.

That said, I loved it. Give it a rewatch but go in as you would for Insudious, The Conjuring or any other creature feature. It shifts the expectations and helps a lot.

They said something along the lines of “the real mission is to test the human spirit”, so if almost seems like the mission was an expirement to see if they could depend on the system for real crucial missions.

That’s the only logical explanation. Their reality has the ability to instantly transfer consciousness, build completely lifelike Android-clones, create artificial gravity. The only way the whole thing “works” is if it’s more a psychological expirement.

I see any “announcement” by Reddit as pathetic attempts to regain legitimacy. Ain’t gonna happen. If Spez is fired and all connections to him are severed I might sniff around Reddit again. But it would be like getting a drink with an ex you’re over. I wouldn’t be there to rekindle anything, just morbidly curious how big of a dumpster fire they are.

I agree Musk isn’t a visionary. At one time I might have argued differently, but with his public face and Twitter disaster it’s pretty evident that he’s just a rich guy who finds something neat and throws money at it.

 

Kbin is the first Reddit alternative I looked at and i liked the UI so I stuck with it. I kind of assumed everything would be kbin. I thought I understood things. I thought it was kbin and lemmy separate but they federated and so I’d be able to access lemmy stuff from kbin. Which I guess is true. But now I’m confused. I look at all, and I see a post in m/[email protected] and the post is from lemmy.world and it’s devs. I’m not subbed to m/main, so did Ernest curate /all and add it? Are people cross posting from lemmy into sh.itjust.works? I feel like I need a drawing or red string diagram.
