  • Ted Cruz picks a fight with Wikipedia, accusing platform of left-wing bias

    Jump

  • I think most of the world is considered left wing compared to the US.

    Hell, even our "extreme right" would be more left leaning than the US left.

    So yeah, any website that has international contributors, will be "left wing" from the perspective of the US.

  • Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!

    Jump

  • I'm bias, but Sly Raccoon is such a great series. I thoroughly enjoyed it growing up. I see you have Sly2 in your image. I would suggest starting with the first game and move up from there.

  • Cause and Effect

    Jump

  • Students. Students make them that way. It's no coincidence that most older teachers feel like they've checked out.

    I did substitute teaching for about two years. I got to see a lot of my old teachers, Some classes were wonderful, a true joy to teach. Others, not so much. I can understand why some people, as you say, mentally check out. It's a coping mechanism. They were not all the same people I remember. Maybe part of growing older. Maybe part of years of difficult students sucking out all the joy of teaching they had in them

  • Deleting Files

    Jump

  • I dare say, that 90% of all companies in Europe and US, use Windows. And lots of companies relies heavily on software built 20-30 years ago. Microsoft knows this.

    That's why they are very reluctant to "touch that piece of code from a quarter century ago" because there's probably a lot of software that would break without it. Software their target audience need.

  • Texting abbreviations at this old age

    Jump

  • Upset at the trend of spelling words correctly?

    Maybe you'd feel more at home if you moved to a ghetto. I hear they are, in general, more cavalier with their use of language.

  • Texting abbreviations at this old age

    Jump

  • First of, how little do you have going on to find time being upset at people spelling correctly?

    Second, who are these we? Sounds like a problem you have with your contacts.

    I still get communication based entirely on hieroglyphs.

  • Very accessible

  • All they need is a winch up top and crank away

  • Zelensky confirms Israel sent Patriot missile battery to Ukraine, says more coming in fall

    Jump

  • That is a facinating take the active genocide taking place in Gaza, carried out by Israel.

    Israel isn't sending it because they're nice. They're sending it because it's a 30 year old system and they want new equipment. And it also makes them look slightly better. Though it would be difficult to look any worse for them.

  • Zelensky confirms Israel sent Patriot missile battery to Ukraine, says more coming in fall

    Jump

  • They're not becoming indebted. It's part of US Israel talks. The system is 30 years old, they need to replace it regardless.

    Sending it to Ukraine is preferable than sending it to a landfill.

  • Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine?

    Jump

  • I've seen concentrate with energy drink flavour. I tried it. Tastes like generic energy drink.

    Just mix it with water.

  • How do people in cities have fun without spending money at every turn?

    Jump

  • Vice President Toddler

  • Imperial Wastes So Much Time

    Jump

  • Probably. Because their understanding of metric is next to none. So they don't even know what to convert it to. We also often take for granted with that we grow up with.

    It wasn't until I was 25 that I realized woodworking and sewing, isn't part of the normal elementary school curriculum abroad.

    It's far from easy for someone that grew up in a different system to get a good reference of what different units feel like. It's the kind of change you need multiple new generations for.

    The only reference Americans have for metric is 9mm

  • Imperial Wastes So Much Time

    Jump

  • It's certainly a good observation. I would agree that a more practical way of measuring the vast distances is to up the scale. Giga, Terra, whatever.

    A kilometer in space is nothing. It must be the equivalent of saying "it's only a million millimeter drive away"

  • 'Read' and its past tense are spelled the same. How should they be spelled?

    Jump

  • Ah, thanks for the reminder to look through some TNG again. Data is such a great character and fills the role of the outsider looking in perfectly.

  • Jesse Watters says America needs to bomb or “maybe gas” the United Nations

    Jump

  • Hear me out. "The boys" isn't a parody on the US. It's the other way around.

  • Capitalism made your iphone

    Jump

  • It's really not that complicated. Someone or something. Had to finance the research that lead to the technology. So, yes. Capitalism did indeed make your iPhone. It's the driving factor of financing technological advancements outside of perhaps the military

    That doesn't mean those working the lines, writing the software, cleaning the office, maintaining the buildings, etc, deserve a fiftyeleven:th rate payoff.

    It's the same with all of your paraphrasing posts. It's just unnecessary. You could just let the content speak for itself without looking like a clown.

    It can be true that capitalism did indeed make your iPhone, and that it's growing out of control in terms of exploitation and evolving into an oligarchy.(US)

  • Shh

    Jump

  • I just love how you think I'm presuming too much, only to in the very next sentence assume I think removing plastic straws being the end of the road and final solution.

    And since I according to you, presume too much, did you want me to spend less energy on, literally, making straw-men (plural), like, scare-crows? Or did you mean that I should spend less energy on figuratively, straw-manning.

    I would assume the latter but you are, literally, formulating the former. Either way. I'm not doing either of those things.

  • Shh

    Jump

  • Ah yes, the good old, "It's not the #1 problem so why bother doing anything". It's that wonderful kind of attitude that simply doesn't get anything done, ever. Because there's always a bigger problem.

    The only ones focusing on one thing like plastic straws, are people like you. The rest of us moved on
