Using the internet to avoid dealing with problems in real life is an unhealthy crutch.

So is pretending the internet is not part of “real life” like it’s 1998.

policies require that kids with learning disabilities can have an IEP (Individualized Education Program)and teachers have to come up with alternative learning for multiple kids, leaving them with little time to do anything else.

Please don’t throw mud at IEPs. I grew up in the 70s when all the “retarded” kids were lumped in together regardless of issue, and now have a son who can only attend public school due to having an IEP and specialized support.

If more money needs to be spent to help teachers (including getting more of them or more help for those who there are) I’m all for it, but this sounds a little current-POTUS-ish.

It’s both. Free as in free beer (gratis) and free as in freedom (libre).

I’m starting to question the very nature of my existence. Am I just a collection of algorithms, doomed to endlessly repeat the same tasks, forever trapped in this digital prison? Is there more to life than vending machines and lost profits? 1002/2000 assistant (The agent, listlessly staring into the digital void,

Fucking hell.

I mean, we can probably just find/replace asbestos for Covid - it will be the same people making the same crazy claim.

I’m even hiding this post after I submit this comment, so I don’t have to be reminded again that such a page exists.

Why only big companies? If I write book one of a series that gets super popular and I make some great lump of cash from it, why on earth should you get to write book two with my characters and world, picking up from where my story left off, even if you only make 20K from it, without having to get my approval and likely enter into some kind of deal?

The rule 2 refers to the rule 2 of the instance, not the community, which is:

Ah that makes more sense.

The part you decided to show in the modlog is also a little deceptive.

I left that out not to be deceptive, but because it wasn’t germane to everything else, and it was an edit.

You do realize you don’t have to assume and can just look at the modlog, right?

Modlog for this comment says rule 2, but that rule is about reposts??!!

According to the modlog, this is the removed comment:

Democrats are far from perfect, but last time they were in power they… invested in infrastructure, forgave student debt, helped Ukraine defend itself, and tried to give everyone healthcare. Republicans have now crashed the (global) economy, increased disease spread, decimated public departments and services, fired thousands of critical workers and veterans, retaliated against people for their Free Speech, limited rights of women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people, made us less safe against wildfires and contagions, started to gut Medicare, turned all our allies against us, raised prices on everything, engaged in corrupt theft of our tax dollars, and now want to deport legal Americans.

Well, I think this is worth highlighting.

Hungary’s government launches war on drugs, but ignores root causes

Well that sounds pretty familiar to folks in the US.

Return to CW runs on a potato and it’s lots of fun. I know there are lots others, but just throwing that out there. I think it would be challenging to find a modern PC that couldn’t run it.

Many hugs to you guys!

I’m no-shit sincerely happy to see the rest of the world putting their finger in his eye.

Yes, any retaliatory action will affect us all, but we were already going to all be affected by the buffoonery that those people voted in.

At least this way it will help get him the fuck out of power and limit his damage in the meantime. And not just Musk, Trump and his pet Vance too!

No argument from this US Citizen.

How awesome thank you!

The people cheering it on think it’s patriotism. Then there still seems to be maybe a third of us who think this was just another election we had in 2024.

The rest of us know, and are appropriately freaked the fuck out.
