- Comment on What would happen to the US if it denaturalised and deported all non-whites? 19 hours ago:
Any country that loses ~40+% of is population all at once is going to have a lot of major issues. Even more so when that population is concentrated in specific industries.
- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 20 hours ago:
Peanut butter is banned in the office
Most schools have even backed off on trying to do this. For children. Why are adults prevented from eating what they want? No one should be touching othe people’s foods.
- Comment on How do gamers make irl money? if at all? 20 hours ago:
No. The people making money are content creators. They are churning out multiple videos a week or streaming for hours and hours, gathering thousands of followers/views and sponsorships on top of the YouTube/twitch ad streams.
You don’t make any serious money from a casual hobby. These people treat it as a job, because it is one.

This is a postulation not a discovery.
Someone did a weird math thingy that gave a word result and this was how they tried to explain it. There’s been zero confirmation this is actually the case. Just like they can’t decide if dark energy/matter is a thing.

Yes. And, 25 is far less than ALL. And your article mentions that program is being dropped all over the place because the science doesn’t back up its claims. Even the program’s grifters are pivoting to incorporate phonics into it.

How is e-transfer different from zelle or venmo?
- Comment on Anon is Illiterate 2 days ago:
Not all of them did, just those that bought into these right wing grifters’ program. Most that did are reversing it, though, because it has been disastrous.
- Comment on Anon is Illiterate 2 days ago:
There was a “program” that had been gaining popularity for years, put out by what are effectively scammers that denounced phonics for “sight reading” where kids were basically asked to guess what words were when next to pictures. This has largely been rejected and phonics reimplemented as it was a disaster
- Comment on Anon is Illiterate 2 days ago:
Measuring two different things. Your number: can read the words, mostly understand the words they read.
6th graders are generally literate. However, they’re not necessarily picking up on nuance, or subtleties. And they will often not take into account how the sentence they just read fits into the overall context of the piece, and they likely won’t question the narrator, assuming they’re reliable.
You can imagine how half of adults being that bad at these things has colored political discourse.

Because games are art. Creative industries do credits.
- Comment on Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game Studios 3 days ago:
Nintendo is more focused on closing down stuoos they don’t own, for the audacity of having similar generic ideas pulled from the real world in their games.

Lol, what? Just about every single government agency and most of corporate America is fully reliant on Microsoft software for their office suite, database management tools, SDEs, etc.

I don’t pay attention to those, so it was the only one I knew the name of.

Stable coins exist to counter that very problem. There’s several out there that are pegged to the value of the dollar, and are mostly used as intermediaries when trading between other coins.
USDT is one such option.

Consumers aren’t the main target for AI applications. It’s primarily enterprise software.

The new one has an airlock style containment [although still comically large]. Not that it prevents everything from going to shit anyway.
- Comment on So me 1 week ago:
People miss it because the sheer amount of extra crap that stores put in checkout lines had trained us to stop trying to read everything while we’re there. Also we’re watching for the total, not reading the text NOT on the screen

Botanically, there’s no such thing as a vegetable.
That’s a culinary term, which seems to cover some fruits, some plant roots, some plant stems, some plant leaves, and some plant flowers.While culinary fruits are the other botanical fruits, and a few flowers (figs are weird)
