Because these “teacher is dumber than a child” pictures are always fake. I’ve never seen a teacher write corrections on a student’s paper. Are they doing that for every wrong question on every paper? That would take forever!

The foundation was rebuilt in 1990 to prevent it from collapsing, but it did stand for about 600 years before that! The tower’s foundation was originally built on silt but that silt has clay underneath. It’s why modern construction does soil analysis first. Or, at least they should.
Things still collapse because soil analysis is skipped, like this bridge in Saskatchewan that collapsed in 2018 on the same day it opened to the public and before anyone actually crossed it.

Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.

Yup. Last year some Harvard students put together a demo where they used Meta’s smart glasses and commercial apps to scan people’s faces, find their social media profiles, and summarize info about them, like where they live, work, their phone numbers, and names of their relatives in real time.

I recently learned about passkeys which are a way to sign into an account without a username and password. Instead, your device has a key file that you unlock with some biometrics like your thumbprint and the site will log you in. I thought it was cool but then I learned Firefox is one of the only browsers that doesn’t support passkeys.

- Comment on Dearborn, Michigan: Ford Rouge worker collapses, dies on shop floor 2 weeks ago:
I’m not shaming anyone! I’m just saying the working conditions at my plant aren’t the reason my coworkers smoke and drink.
The idea in the linked comment seems to be that poor working conditions, leads to poor life decisions, leads to poor health, leads to early death. Therefore, early deaths are caused by poor working conditions.
My point is that poor life decisions aren’t necessarily caused by poor working conditions. Poor life decisions can be caused by other things, for example, lack of education.
- Comment on Dearborn, Michigan: Ford Rouge worker collapses, dies on shop floor 2 weeks ago:
I work the same exact job as my coworkers and don’t smoke and drink. If work conditions lead to smoking and drinking, then why is it only the old people outside at break time smoking?
They picked up bad habits in their youth, not because of job conditions, but a lack of education into their dangers. Where I live, 30 years ago restaurants asked customers “smoking or non-smoking?” It ain’t the work conditions that’s causing them to smoke a pack a day.

While I’m sure they’re overworked and underpaid, the guys at my factory with 30+ years are all heavy smokers and drinkers. Every year there’s at least 1 person that has a heart attack. Unions can fix work conditions but they can’t fix health conditions.

Tech workers’ power didn’t come from solidarity, it came from scarcity. When you’re getting five new recruiter emails every day, you don’t need a shop steward to tell your boss to go fuck themselves at the morning scrum. You can do it yourself, secure in the knowledge that there’s a company across the road who’ll give you a better job by lunchtime.
There’ve been half a million US tech layoff since 2023. Tech workers’ scarcity-derived power has been vaporized. Tech workers can avoid the fate of the factory, warehouse and delivery workers their bosses literally work to death — but only by unionizing.
Great article! Really goes to show that even workers making huge salaries need collective agreements. It doesn’t matter how much the company relies on your work, eventually, your boss will find a way to fuck you over.

I was on a discussion board for anime figurines and people started posting screenshots of their order checkouts showing tariffs nearly doubling the cost of their order. That caused a conundrum because people started talking politics and that’s not allowed according to the board rules. But what are people supposed to do? Can they talk about increased prices or is that political? Do they just have to pretend prices have skyrocketed for no reason at all? Can they even mention prices are higher than before?
If you don’t restrict things then you’re allowing discussion of politics. If you do restrict things then you’re preventing normal discussion because of politics. It’s unavoidable.

- Comment on Low flow toilets 3 weeks ago:
Half as Interesting has a video about low flow toilets. When the US passed the 1992 regulation limiting the amount of water a toilet could use, manufacturers rushed to meet the regulation and their designs were terrible. That’s mostly because the quality tests they had to pass were also out of date. Testing standards eventually updated and by 2003 low flow toilets were flushing better than old models with a fraction of the water. More recent models flush even better.
So OP’s complaint about low flow toilets hasn’t been true for 22 years.
- Comment on "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games 3 weeks ago:
The industry is completely different now. The original was made in the 80s where programmers were hard to find and it took 10 of them 2 years and a million dollars to make. Then physical cartridges needed to be made and distributed that only ran on specialized hardware that also needed to be made and distributed. It selling for the equivalent of $180 could be justified since it was niche technology. There’s a reason Biggie Smalls brags about owning a Super Nintendo and a Sega Genesis in a rap song. That shit was expensive even in 1994.
Today, someone can make Super Mario Bros 3 in a month after watching some game dev tutorials on YouTube, upload the .exe to Steam, and sell limitless copies to anyone who owns a computer. Selling it for $180 would be ridiculous. There’s no reason tech today should cost the exact same as it did in the 80s.
