Irremarkable

Yknow here’s the thing.

I distinctly remember telling myself “don’t type Dutch” because I always say one when I mean the other.

God I love how Dutch is essentially just how I talk after I’ve had a pint too many. If I can ever get a hand on German, Dutch is the next language on my list.

Hell, I can spend like $3 more and get an 8oz sirloin and 2 sides (at least twice the food) from Texas Roadhouse instead of a bigmac meal at McDonald’s. The only time I’d even consider going there at this point is when they’re the only place open, and frankly I’d rather go to White Castle or Jack in the Box at that point.

My personal tinfoil hat theory (not that tinfoil hat tbh) for why refuse to admit they fucked up and put a photo of a completely different guy out is that they have nothing.

Which, granted, can’t even blame them. Your suspect is a white guy that’s probably on the younger side that checks notes owns a hoodie and a backpack, a description that probably fits hundreds of thousands in NYC. I’m assuming a guy that went through the trouble of putting words on the casings probably also went through the trouble of removing any potential fingerprints/dna. The fuck do you do with that? Add in the public’s seeming unwillingness to snitch even if they did know something…

It’s togglable

Sometimes I truly do love the absurdity of my country

Frankly it is. It’s a shame you’ve deluded yourself into believing otherwise.

Delusion is not the answer to doom and pessimism. You prepare for the worst, you hope for the best, and you keep doing the best you can with the things you have. But you sure as fuck do not delude yourself.

There’s a difference between optimism and delusion

Optimism is good

Delusion is not

The optimistic view is that’s the worst that happens.

Your mistake is assuming the actual definition of “a fair way” and what Trump means by it are not so far apart from each other it’s not even funny.

For him the “fair way” for Ukraine is for them to submit and lick Putin’s boot, and have their eastern regions subjected to the full scale cultural genocide already in effect.

For him the “fair way” for Palestine is naked ethnic cleansing and genocide.

So yeah, it would in fact not be awesome for those things to happen.

E: grammar

Yeah I’m sure I’d probably be using chatgpt these days if I were still in school instead of paying the frankly stupid amount Chegg cost.

I imagine it varies quite a bit depending on the subject and who’s doing the answers. There were 3 or 4 answer authors that I learned to recognize as consistently quite good in the areas I needed it in.

I guess I had a much different experience with Chegg than most.

For a handful of my classes, it was the only way to consistently get similar problems with worked out solutions. I’m not going to pretend I never was lazy and used it to cheat, but most of my usage was of problems I wasn’t assigned so I could see how they were done.

That said, I can’t speak as to how they pay the people that actually do the work, that may be a whole can of worms that I really probably should’ve looked into when I was using it.

From what I understand, it primarily stems from that first stipulation, specifically from points 1 and 4 of the Helsinki Accords

(1) Sovereign equality, respect for the rights inherent in sovereignty (4) Territorial integrity of states

That said, it was very clearly done in a way that didn’t actually guarantee that protection, and assuming that the Ukrainians thought otherwise is frankly an insult to their intelligence.

Seriously, I don’t think I’ve seen this kind of blatant “PAY ATTENTION TO ME I’M QUIRKY” behavior since AIM.

I would say that’s an accurate description for a barbie doll that explodes personally.

I’m sure this varies a lot from district to district, but the districts that I have teacher friends in, they’ve been using Chromebooks almost exclusively for the better part of a decade now

The most common explanation I’ve seen, and imo it makes sense, is that things mostly just work now. Even XP required a helluva lot more troubleshooting and messing with stuff to make it work than today. So you not only have a bunch of people that have no troubleshooting experience, a large portion don’t even know how to properly search for things.

On the flip side, you have a lot more people doing insanely impressive stuff at a lot younger ages because if you have the drive to do it, there’s more material to learn than ever out there.

I’m sure the likely CTE doesn’t help

As if removing it wouldn’t be an improvement. MBFC themselves admit it’s nothing more than pseudoscience. The fact anyone actually takes it seriously is laughable, especially considering some of the sources they consider “highly factual”

Cryptobros are mad people have realized they’re full of shit
