Expecting a revolution to solve your problems is a bad joke.

corralling student attention in the hands of the parents

What does this mean?

Also, I don’t necessarily disagree with what you’re saying ; the people in control of schools across the U.S. should be ashamed of themselves. However it is the responsibility of the parents to not just shove their kids in front of a screen because they’re too busy for them.

Teachers have it hard enough as it is, I have nothing to say on that front. I would never have the patience to go through what teachers go through, period.

Did you? Because you haven’t named them.

I meant their meanings, rather than their spellings lol.

They said Physiological not Psychological. There’s a considerable difference between those two words.

I highly doubt that someone disabled enough to need implants like this is capable of doing damage to anyone but themselves. Like if you’re interested in protecting them, sure I’ll accept that. But the idea that society needs to protect itself from this is silly.

Most people do not understand that there are many ways to burn a book.

That is the way dating apps work.

Within that isolated society? Sure.

If your goal was to argue semantics then I don’t know why I’m entertaining this. Yes, in an imaginary society that is 1) somehow not influenced by modern society and 2) somehow also avoids currency - power dynamics will obviously take different shapes.

Do you realize how meaningless that example is?

I will never understand this take.

Logically speaking this is simply incorrect.

Shortsightedness driven by greed does not, in any way, negate money equaling power.

Have you heard of any companies in the past few years who are trying to mimic human speech? They need lots of example data to do that.

You fixated on one point while there are worse problems than just being ashamed of what you’ve said.

Stop.

I don’t think people who struggle to read as much as you have any business talking about internet hygiene.

Biggest complaints I’ve seen aren’t with sound quality, it’s with the noise cancelling being bad and the shape of the ear cups (the latter could have just been the shape of that user’s ears were the problem).

Mind you, these were reviews from Fairbud XLs released about a year ago. Things could have improved or gotten worse in that time, in any way. I can’t tell you for sure.

That said, I don’t think it makes sense to correlate focusing on repairability and quality of the product going down. I actually went out and found the reviews I’m referencing simply because the concept is absurd and I needed to know for sure.

Always keep in mind what you say online, Poe’s law is forever in effect.

Jesus christ yeah, ok. I should have narrowed my search by region.

Really puts into perspective how fucking easy it is to get alcohol in the U.S. Kinda scary actually.

I’m looking at vodka, this is also in America. But the price isn’t that much higher. I was wrong about it being 15. It’s actually 16.99.

Eh, that’s like 10 bucks more than if you were to buy 4 1 litre smirnoffs.

So bold
