I missed about 50% of my senior year. All I needed was a doctor note saying that I bad anxiety and depression, and suddenly I was unpunishable. That strategy failed miserably in the real world, but made high school bearable. Classes were easy enough that I still graduated.
Missing 20% of your school days doesn't seem like a good way to achieving their goals. If you don't have a good education, how do you expect to be able to effect positive change in the world? Fixing things takes more than good intentions.
That linked article has a video that is not available in the UK - and other places I imagine. Here is one that works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... . It is cropped to pass youtube's flagging, so not the best (post if there's a better one), but if you want to see what the post is about it will serve...
There's also the option of paying a couple € a month to use a VPN...
I'm looking forward to https://futurama.fandom.com/wi... personally. This is a step in the right direction. If we could only enforce steroid consumption, maybe modern day baseball will be worth the while to watch...
There's also a subscription on a pirate enclave or something website. Not sure what the price is, but hopefully it'll be able to compete with Disney's offerings...
The lamentations from executives being disabused of the notion of infinite growth could not be heard due to a missing dongle. Just one more unintended consequence after removing the headphone jack.
I write software for a living, as many of us do, and I think this is a terrible idea.
Our first implementations are almost always buggy. They're also often blind to myriad scenarios that we disparagingly call "edge cases" (since we're usually unwilling to admit we didn't think it through enough). We all like doing iterative approaches where we tweak things to see what happens, and which things break. If something is not working perfectly, we tend to throw the whole thing out to start over from scratch. We can often obsess about a narrow range of things, while completely missing the larger picture.
That's not a good approach when dealing with human lives.
In my estimation, a good compromise would be a great politician who also has nerdy hobbies/interests. I'm thinking of someone who was able to program the VCR for his/her parents as a child/teenager. I want someone who understands the technology enough to use it well, and enough knowledge of the underlying principles to not view everything as magical black box.
I've been treated like shit my whole life... Every time I hear this Jewish bullshit propaganda, designed to make males and females hate each other to further the Jews' plans to exterminate all races except Jews...
Maybe you're being treated like shit for being an resentful, antisemitic person? It's pretty damn hard to like someone like you who hates another simply for the circumstances of his/her birth.
Problems with gender equality? You mean like how Google found it was underpaying men? Seems these days that the media is purposefully gas lighting us...
I've tried to wrap my head around how any of the idiots in charge at Microsoft think that this is a good idea. My guess is that these asshats are playing the long game. They're ok with anyone older than 25 saying "fuck you." What they're after is our children. (Won't someone think of them?) If you can get clueless children and preteens used to this, then they'll be hooked forever. The rest of their lives will then suffer and assume it's completely normal to not own anything.
In some years' time, XBox's mascot should then be turned into Joe Camel, as I'd prefer they be more honest with their intentions.

Armenia? Cool name for a state. I live in a different state called 'denial'. The weather's great here. I think...
You're half way there. 21 * 2 = 42. That's the appropriate number of times to have to override.

Who's the team that handles the training data, and are they hiring?
You're overreacting. There's a vaccine for chemtrails.

Agreed. On a related note... Anyone have advice on best practices for merge conflicts when they arise?

"may" and "finds" don't belong together. You can't promote a 'maybe' to a 'definitely' in the same sentence.
You from Pittsburgh?
Lenin and Stalin disagree. It's not only possible, but the best system.
Dr. Jenny McCarthy was wrong? Who'd have thought...?
Sex advice is why I come to Slashdot.

I'd like to see more down mods on this for the poster's ignorance to the Scunthorpe problem. Is there a -1 Irony modifier available?
W3C meet your new friend Unintended Consequences. I'm sure you two will get along great...
144 was the highest I ever got in my times tables...

So you got a social credit 1984 thing going on there, eh? Hold my Molson, buddy...
