Love the about page with the big Lenin pic

He’s partly right. We wanted to just punish cyber truck owners, but couldn’t only target them and decided the first two groups were acceptable sacrifices.

I really doubt homeschooling has much to do with it. Some subset of every gen is good with tech.

The one homeschool kid Im working with this semester is terrified to use the telephone. Their entire experience in home school education was largely sitting in virtual classrooms

Its definitely not all students and, in reality, I believe every generation has been deskilled to diff degrees. So, while these skills are noticeably worse with Gen z than it is with millennials, many young people I meet come to college with some or all of these skills.

So I think you could go with a less extreme intervention lol

Teaching college students, I agree that phones and ‘need’ are largely the culprit.

Loss of typing skill, trouble shooting skill, and file directory skill.

Better at cameras generally

Interestingly, on Taiwan they have the Republic of China calendar (in addition to the Western calendar) which begins from the establishment of the RoC (1912 on the Western calendar).

As a child I was really into dinosaurs and came to this conclusion

Lightning bug’s range is pretty wide (they can be found on every continent except Antarctica), but there are much less of them than there use to be.

As a child in the 90s, I would see so many of them flickering. But now, like many other bugs, they are dying off.

Maybe they want to be eaten…

Me, realizing I’m nearly middle aged

To my knowledge, most of it from antiquity was lost. Whish is what Ibn Khaldun was speaking about, not the scholarship for the Islamic period.

“In a way [my undertaking] is an entirely original science. In fact, I have not come across a discussion along these lines anywhere. I do not know if this is because people have been unaware of it…[but] perhaps [people] have written exhaustively on this topic, and their work did not reach us… The knowledge that has not come down to us is, after all, larger than the knowledge that has. Where are the sciences of the Persians…the Chaldaeans, the Syrians, the Babylonians…the Copts and their predecessors? The sciences of only one people, the Greeks, have come down to us…as for the sciences of others, nothing remains.”

Ibn Khaldun, 1332-1406 (as translated by Rosenthal)

“Amazing” is too strong imo, but it was way better than the other two in it’s trilogy

Does use include viewing it in search engine results? Or do you mean actively posting to it?

I do the former but not the latter.

The latest update isn’t available on mobile, but if you like reading Suzerain is really good game

I too support democratic socialism

Allende just needed more people’s militias

Depends on whether sleepy Joe actually implemented the much more generous income based repayment plan

This way NASA can get 95% of the way with research/design then they can sell it cheaply to a chosen private sector firm who can make all the money.

Which firm? I’d pay attention to where memebers of Congress are investing

armies of extremists are brigading other instances and they’re exploiting Lemmy’s flaws to do it

It crazy how these people can get their bs to show up in my main feed, and then if I comment on it they call me a troll
