  • Yes.

    In that biology course, how would you want the biology knowledge to be taught to the students? Like what form would the knowledge take? For example, would it be that you want students to simply memorize a sort of currently understood concepts in biology? Would it be something else?

  • Years in jail. […]

    For clarity, are you saying that the more that people are incarcerated, the more money the private prisons and jails make?

  • If it had a definition, it wouldn’t be nonsense, would it?

    It would depend on the definition in question. The term in a vacuum is just a collection of words — what those words mean is rather important, imo.

  • If you're willing to believe a couple of random news outlets:

    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/9/altoona-pennsylvania-mcdonald-reviews-go-negative-/

    Thanks for the sources! I wish that news articles would actually cite how they know things — it's annoying to me that their statements regarding the reviews are essentially conjecture — I don't want to have to feel like I need to just take their word for it.

  • Not hard to imagine thag G**gle would be on the case, deleting reviews by now.

    Fair point.

  • […] what do you think it is?

    Note that your shifting of the burden of proof is not a sound argument for the veracity of your claims. At any rate, imo, exactly what it means depends on the context; however, it's generally accepted as the theory that certain economic policies favoring those on the upper tier of the economic spectrum will trickle down to benefit the masses [1][2].

  • I’m not […]

    What do you mean? Are you saying that you don't have a definition for the term that you are using?

  • Damn shame Linux is so unfriendly to anti cheats.

    What about Linux do you think is "unfriendly to anti cheats"?

  • average annual income means if you are poorer, you get punished more for stealing the same object. Not sure that’s a good idea

    I'm inclined to agree.

  • Instead of fishing for a debate […]

    I will not engage in any debate without first knowing how the term is being defined.

  • Thank you for noticing 😊 ­— I have hope that it's a practice that will catch on eventually. I do my best to not engage in conjecture: If I make any claim, I try to make sure that I cite it. The same sort of thing goes for anything derived from logic — ie I do my best to describe my thought processes to make sure that I reduce the possibility of incorrect assumptions being made on anything that I post. It's a little bit tedious at times, but I think it's important.

  • Is that true? I just checked the reviews for all of the McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania on Google Maps [4] and none of them appear have been review bombed recently or have any mention of the UHI shooter [1][2][3].

  • But, to me, that doesn't really explain why it would make sense to teach things that wouldn't be useful.

  • While this is peripherally interesting to hear, without Linux support [1][2], I am not personally interested.

  • Because I believe in the idea of the Fediverse and I want it to succeed.

  • […] trickle-down economics is an absurd nonsense theory […]

    Would you mind defining exactly what you mean by "trickle down economics"?

    1. [Trickle Down Economics] doesn’t exist and 2) nothing of value is created out of it.

    How exactly are you defining trickle down economics?

  • There is no such thing as trickle down economics.
