In home school, there is less people and more choice. Choice for whom, the student or the teacher? The teachers are the ones with the agendas, in all senses of the word.

I am not convinced this is widespread behavior. How many does it take to be widespread (or more crucially, addressable) behavior, is it N+you? Yes, if I saw myself on social media without consent, I would go straight to the college or pr

Both are also serial liars. The small mercy with Musk vis-a-vis Trump is that his nationality and shifting demographics of the United States (Republican efforts at voter suppression not withstanding) should ensure he doesn't have a sho

Reading stuff like this makes me think we are seeing Gen-X's version of Donald Trump, and it worries me.

As a lifelong resident of the Dallas area (Garland, Richardson, Plano, Addison, Dallas, Sachse, back to Dallas, and now Allen), I think Cheesecake Factory is successfully splitting the difference between Bucca di Beppo and Texas Roadhouse :

I'm pouring one out for Apollo tonight, I tried the official Reddit app and it's hot garbage and the Reddit website is somehow worse. Mastodon and Lemmy are fine, but I'm old enough to remember the web I grew up with and that

Yep, not a resident though. There seem to be a constant stream of articles about housing issues in the Bay Area, don't recall any attributing the issue to wind farms, but I'd be interested to read any I might have missed.

I've never been a big reddit user but I increased my usage as Twitter devolved into what it is now, but now I'm going to have to find something else. I'll most likely start paying for Apple News for general/current event

Saw this comment and realized how long it had been since I listened to "Punk in Drublic", has to be at least 15 years. I immediately went to Scavenger Type but then to "Linoleum", "The Brews", "Don't

If you aren't diabetic you could pay for something like Nutrisense or Levels to get enough monitors to cover about 2-3 months of activity, learn what triggers spikes, and then cut it. What you see in those three months is pretty much w

Also there are services like levels or January.ai which white-label Abbott devices and handle all the prescription stuff for you. Levels ships the Dexcom G6 currently (they have another option to get the Libre) if you aren't T1 or T2

No I haven't, I was using sarcasm, to indicate that I think the CEO is straight up lying about the anecdote and it's just something he is using as cover for the policy change.

"They gave it a try and claimed they got robbed of 30 months salary." Fixed that for you. I do software development too, if opening my laptop was the only metric by which I was measured, damn, that would be pretty sweet! /s

Agreed, I went to download it on my iPad and searched "myst" and couldn't tell which one was the "real" one (or at least the one referenced in the article.) I finally went back to the article and clicked on the dire
