  Neurotypical here - that’s the correct response.

  The entire eastern block adopted Lysenkoism.

  The USSR also abused medical science to imprison dissidents in mental institutions based on false diagnoses.

  Turtle. Or tortoise. Same word for both in German.

  And it worked. Try finding any professional art/design jobs that don’t use Adobe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually Steam. I like the idea of GoG, but a lot of the time if you want mods you’re basically forced to buy it on Steam because of the Workshop. Also, I kinda like having everything in one place.

  At least you can quickly read a tweet, considering how short they are it takes like a second. Shorts are worse, you have the same limited information but you have to watch the whole damn thing to get it (even with subtitles).

  And most kids already do. People have been complaining about “kids today” for literally thousands of years. Probably longer, we just don’t have records of it. There have always been troublemakers, and there always will be. People have been blaming everything from literature to TV to music to video games to, nowadays, phones. This, too, will blow over, and it’ll be fine.

  And the kids that are this brazenly disrespectful and disruptive would be disrespectful and disruptive without phones too. Most kids aren’t though, no matter how much alarmist media wants them to be. It’s a good old fashioned moral panic. Punish the actual wrongdoers, leave the test of the kids alone.

  As long as the phone isn’t used in class I fail to the the issue. There’s no need to ban phone use in general while on school premises.
