I’m a graduate student who does a lot of grading. Canvas gives me an option to: 1. Hide students’ names while grading and 2. sort in order of submission instead of alphabetical order, so I make sure to use both of those options to reduce any biases like that.

I only get two options: Alphabetical order and submission order. If I had random I would use it.

No, they’re open sauce

Excessive swearing, as if they just learned how to say “fuck”.

Not that any damn amount of fucking swearing means they are are a young fucker, but you can fucking tell when you read that shit and they manage nine goddamn swear words in one fucking sentence you know they’re a young bitch who aren’t allowed to swear any other damn time.

It’s not a state rights issue, it’s a human rights issue and the SCOTUS was protecting the people of the US from the States until the court overturned Roe v Wade

I have a google tv, and the “Basic Mode” when you set it up or the “Apps only mode” both are a lot better than the overstimulation nightmare that is most smart TVs (and a google TV with normal settings)

Just because something is made for teenagers or younger doesn’t mean they have to be bad though. I would say the original three Star Wars are a good example of that, sure they were fun for kids, but they didn’t need dumbed down or made insincere for children to be able to enjoy them. Look at the golden age of Pixar movies which, sure, are children movies, but are also just movies that hold up for adults too.

I hate that “Not as many bugs at launch as the rest of our games!” is the standard we measure AAA, high budget games by

Reddit’s enshitification has been happening for a long time, and I don’t know if this is the end yet, but I think in a few years when Reddit has died, we will look back at this and say this was the nail in the coffin. I think this will push out the 0.1% of users who generate and moderate the good content, and if/when they go public things will get much much worse. The popular subs will continue to rot and lose the buyers money, so the Reddit admin will be forced to tighten the screws. They’ll force you to have an account to view Reddit, they’ll kill old.reddit, they’ll jam more ads in and kill the 3rd party API completely, even for accessibility apps. My gut says Reddit has like 2 years tops before we consider it “dead” (though will prolly still be up for years)

“If only there was an innocent dog in range of me!”

Is there a website to take this test somewhere?

Meh. I think packing the court is a short term fix (if even possible with a republican house), and would set a new precedent. Then it’d become a competition to keep adding ${party_in_white_house} Supreme Court justices every time we have a new president.

Actually amending the constitution would probably be the best move (not that it’ll ever happen) as they could permanently reign in the Supreme Court and help de-politicize it again.

Seems like solar would be a really good solution in NM. Lots of land to build on, plenty of sun, and the population is spread out so large power plants like nuclear/coal would be less practical in that setting

I actually have one of these on the emergency kit my brother gave me for a car, he put it together in a like military style bag to keep in my trunk and it has a patch on it like that. It’s just a monochromatic version of the American flag, anyone I’ve known who has something like that doesn’t intend anything past that. Like others referenced, modern fatigues and gear in the US Military feature a similar monochromatic flag to that (usually black and the primary color of the uniform, like desert tan or olive drab) to save cost and make it blend in with the uniform better, so I think that popularized that to some degree in culture.

I understand the advantages of hydrogen since burning it doesn’t produce greenhouse gasses, but being around that much hydrogen makes me uneasy from everything I’ve read about how explody it is. I am sure the engineers responsible know what they’re doing though
