Also, I would honestly cheer if valve made all the companies disclose campaign donations…

Honestly, could we have those too? I would love to have that.

I’m sorry, I couldn’t possibly play on a device that won’t let me save Lucca’s mom

Please take my money. I would pay thousands for this

It’s also notably harder and less… practical to remove the part of the brain that bothers you as opposed to removing the part of the intestines that bothers you.

The UK is exactly the same, except they will write “SLOW” on the street, right next to the sign, to confuse you.

Youd think some people would start asking questions when the “eyewitness account” suddenly starts describing an event they didn’t actually witness… But no

No, much worse. I think that was the point.

Being shitfaced and crashing into something is what is know in nautical terms as “an unexplained navigation system malfunction”, because “we can’t say why the ship didn’t turn” goes over a lot better than “the ship didn’t turn because we didn’t forgot to turn the ship”

Protecting trans women, protects everyone.

And inversely, harming trans women harms everyone. Which is their entire goal.

Speaking in the bathroom, sure.

With a stranger? Absolutely not.

And of course, if you look even sliiiightly imperfect compared their to their AI-generated version of what women should be, the MAGA crowd will be harassing you on your way to the bathroom as well.

Look at, having a production server that isn’t also their development server.

Go jump in a pool and exhale. Unless you’ve got a lot of fat, you’re not going to float.

Bodies only start float when the decomposition gasses accumulate inside you and can’t get out. True, putting a few holes in someone is likely to prevent that, but your lungs don’t hold any gas without muscles to do so. And you dont have those working after death.

Gasses in the abdomen cause bodies to float, assuming they’re not already fat enough to do so by themselves. But it takes a while for those to accumulate, at least a day or two.

Disclaimer: I write LARPs for fun, and sometimes that means you want to know why exactly bodies float…

Like UV light

The latest PISA study shows that students who heavily use LLMs are a full year behind their fellows who don’t.

This slopbot is 4 hours and we already hate it. Please look at your downvotes and turn it off.

Sure, I had 90 minutes of PE too, which included changing, explaining and waiting, and changing again at the end. Then depending on the activity, lots more waiting. I think spending half the time actually being active is optimistic.

familiarizing children with the concept of exercising and sports does a lot. I never would have entered my first youth sports club if it weren’t for PE.

Right, but that means PE is an absolutely terrible way to achieve your goals. It’s a massively expensive class. It requires huge special areas, sometimes both in and outdoors, with special equipment. And the return on investment is tiny (or in my case negative). And there is such an extremely obvious alternative too:

If you want to familiarize kids with youth sports, have them spend time doing youth sports. Why waste time and money on PE if your goal is directly available already, in a much more direct, effective and efficient way?

I would argue that PE in school is a thing the government uses to foist off kids being active on a school system that is inherently unsuited to teaching it. Schools are forced to teach it, wasting immense resources on something they ultimately don’t do well, with a goal that’s better achieved differently. The effects are tiny (or negative), but adults get to pat themselves on the back for a job well delegated at no extra cost, apart from every other area of a child’s education.

Exercise is important, lots of people would spend their entire childhoods with exactly zero exercise if they didn’t have PE.

And thanks to PE, they get to have some 40 minutes (or well under, for many activities) of exercise per week. I personally think that’s a terrible return on investment, especially with literacy going down the drain fast.

Honestly, all the money and effort spent on PE should probably just go directly into youth sports on a national level.

Your art class was miles better than mine, I’ll have to grant you that. I don’t remember much about mine, other than making lots of “art” (drawing, painting, charcoal work, clay… something) which was evaluated and finally graded completely arbitrarily but never worse than a passing grade, so after the first year art class quickly became time wasting class.

Actually, that’s a good point. If you can’t fail a class, it’s not actually important.

Really? You never had to compare two numbers to tell which is bigger? Never counted anything? Never added or subtracted anything? And you apparently got enough PE to count as proper exercise too!

We have had two very different lives.
